Madcap Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I am not a great painter. My love for the hobby is more for the game play and converting minis. However, I did manage to get the core of my Steel Brethren painted. I'll warn you, I am no Heavy Metal painter... not even close. Still, it felt good to get some color on them. Steel Brethren--Group Shot Iron Warriors Squad Steel Brethren Squad Daemon Prince Looking forward to getting more painted, including my Obliterator conversions. EDIT: Re-sized photos.

lee265 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 these seem pretty decently painted. I was expecting the way i paint which could be described as strretwalker in the middle of things putting on more make-up. yours are clean so keep it up.

epherous Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 How is anything shown here bad??? The only thing bad is that your third photo auto-focused on the second line of marines, making the first rank slightly blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janitor101 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 That's a pretty good start, though you need a Badab Black Wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I did do some black washing on the armor, but not so much as to lose the brightness of the armor. The flash bleached out some of wash effect. But I agree, some additional black wash in the creases would help. As soon as the whole army is tabletop ready, I will go back and touch up. Overall I am happy with my first real attempt with painting a 40K army. My only major painting experience thus far has been individual minis and a Blood Bowl team.

Valkyrion Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 All you need is a small highlight of a lighter metal (bolton > chainmail > mithril) on the shoulder pads, helmets and so on and a heavier black wash and these will look mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zincite Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Quite good, though you need to break up the silver a bit ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
