freakytah Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Well I'm sure they're not "hall of honor" worthy, but I'd say I'm definitely making improvements! Here are some pics of my first Space Marine ever, next to my 11th Marine. I think I'm taking some steps in the right direction :P http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt66/freakythaii/DSC02390.jpg http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt66/freakythaii/DSC02392.jpg Here's a shot of my army so far, maybe I'll actually get to play one day! http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt66/freakythaii/DSC02396.jpg Thanks for looking, I'm always happy to get any critiques/comments so I can get better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYR GKIKAS Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Good work so far the flames look s perfect.I have to note that the metalic model of the Heavy Bolters IMHO is way better than the plastic one.Nothing to do with your model offcourse i just wanted to share it.

freakytah Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks guys! I haven't played a game of 40k yet so I have primarily been building models that I like over what will be tactically best on the table since I don't have any experience to go on. The multi-melta and heavy bolter are from the 5 man devastator squad, which I believe I have heard they're not much good as a unit on the table. I wish I would have figured that out before I bought it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generating Random Name... Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think what's best on the table really just depends on your play style, 1 sec I'll get some links: I would recommend the first one, the other two are secondry... Way of the water warrior Tactical Treatise Tactics of the Astartes And I think these are well painted models, are these your first marines?

Way of the water warrior Tactical Treatise Tactics of the Astartes And I think these are well painted models, are these your first marines? Thanks for the links, I'll start reading up! Yeah the pic of my army so far is everything that I've ever painted. I'm not sure what I'll paint next but I'd like to get something that will be a useful addition to what I have started. I know I need more marines, but I'd like to paint something bigger next. Maybe a Venerable or Iron Clad Dread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Very nice, I must admit you seem to learn a lot faster than me! Might I suggest that you put a little tiny dot of white at the back of the eyes? It really makes them 'Pop' :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrolytes Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hey they look really nice, the flames are superb. Are you adding a touch of water to your paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to give that a shot though and see how they turn out on the next marine! Hey they look really nice, the flames are superb. Are you adding a touch of water to your paint? Thanks! I do add a bit of water to to the paints on a dry pallete prior to putting it on the model. I'm still experimenting on how much water to use though. Sometimes i add too much, and sometimes not enough. The librarian is heavy with paint because I put a layer of blue on him, then decided it was way to dark, so had to put a few layers of a lighter blue to make it look better.
