Clean and bright. Sort of off-putting for 40k, but its a nice change of pace. The freehand on the banner is pretty awesome.

 

I think the metal could use a wash or two.

 

In a modern sense yeah, but the old 40k (ed 1-3) was very bright

I agree with the wash idea though....the metals are far to clean and flat...old style or new.

Thanks guys. The hardest part of the banner was the green laurels beneath the eagle because I had to try and paint individual leaves. The lettering was done with a fine ink pen and his storm bolter was scratch-built from two normal bolters with one side filed flat. I used a heavy dry-brush for the swords but a lighter softer one for the guns. The metal panels on the bases weren't painted with metal at all -I used shades of gray because the rest of my army uses rocky gray and green grass for their bases. I didn't intentionally paint them "bright" maybe it was the lighting I used during the shoot. As for clean, well... they're not Orcs or plague marines...

I think they turned out very well!

However I would really suggest to change the varnish you use. It is very grainy and makes the models look less good than they actually are.

My models looked like this when I used the GW purity seal most of the time. After I switched to Testors dull coat I never had that problem again.

Perfectionist- I notice the same thing especially when I try to spray the varnish in high humidity, I get a terrible "chalky" film. It's ruined an Eldar Jet Bike and a whole unit of Necrons in the past. So I will try the Testor dull-coat. Thank you.
