Blood. Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hey Guys, So here is my first Death Company model painted up...actually its my sixth model painted period. I am brand new to this and a big reason I picked the BA's was because of awesome models such as the Death Company units. Let me know what you guys think. :ph34r: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5219/5472836357_a11da4de6e.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223283-gw-noob-paints-his-first-death-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealadin Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Nice stuff, thats great work! I'd probably recommend a bit more detail on the end of the flamer though, it stands out a bit as looking unfinished to me at least, although I would say your trying for the slightly burnt metal effect on it?

Hey thanks. Yea thats exactly it, it did turn out better in person then the piture, however it still looks a little off lol. Thanks for the suggestion...I'll see what I can do, hopefully my models look better as I paint more :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223283-gw-noob-paints-his-first-death-company/#findComment-2669920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfey Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Can't believe this is your first ever model! It's better than all of my death co. :ph34r: Really good job. Like the bone helmet too as something a little bit different. I agree with Zealadin too ti would be even better if you could drill a hole or just put a black circle on the end of the flamer though.

Blood. Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks bud!! Well he is technically my sixth model...my first 5 were tact marines...I just couldn't resist the urge to paint one up, probably should have waited till I had a bit more experience lol. Here's a pic of my first 5 guys, most aren't even in focus but w.e :ph34r: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5217/5472870817_3b803fd6ce.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223283-gw-noob-paints-his-first-death-company/#findComment-2669935 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morollan Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 If these are genuinely your first miniatures then I am thoroughly impressed as they are already far above my meager skills. You must have had some experience in art though as the techniques you've used surely don't come out of the blue?

Blood. Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks for all the comments!! Yea these are my first and only models painted and I do not have any art background, however, I have always been able to draw relatively well even though I never practice it lol. Maybe that’s helping :P I really have to accredit any early successes to Youtube, it has been an amazing reference for me, beauty of the internet :lol: Hopefully I can get a few more models up soon as I really don’t spend a lot time painting so I am doing pieces of a model at a time, hardly efficient but I am in no hurry. I have just started painting Lemartes, just looking at him is already worrisome considering the detail on him, maybe I’ll get some WIP pics up soon and hopefully a half decent completed model haha. Oh and to answer the last question I am using GW Citadel paints atm.

Blood. Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Here is the WIP for Lemartes, didn't get much done lol actually I didn't even do my base colors yet and started working on the face. Still lots of touching up to do but here he is early on. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5136/5476184590_9d8932e9dd_m.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223283-gw-noob-paints-his-first-death-company/#findComment-2671125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, i hope you die under the sheer weight of your talent. ;p Haha thank you sir, I suppose there are much worse ways to go then that so I'll take the compliment :blush: Spent a little bit more time on Lemartes, got most of his main figure done except for minor detailing and his feet, which will be completed once I do the base. Here he is so far. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5260/5481031450_78cb52eb3f.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223283-gw-noob-paints-his-first-death-company/#findComment-2672808 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Desmodus Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 For a n00b you're doing quite well. :) Very nice painting so far! I'd stay away from the clear blue Crozius handle though, looks too cute. Scab Red?

Losfer Werds Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I look at this, then back to my Lemartes, and my head fills with ideas. Have to agree with the crozius handle though, the blue just isn't grim/dark enough for Lemartes. Still amazing work though!

Blood. Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 LOL Abel :) Thanks again for the feedback guys, much appreciated. As for the handle, I will def take that into consideration, the florescent bathroom lighting is really making it cuter then it appears haha. To be honest the blue just struck me as a good contrasting color for the gold.
