FriendlyFire21 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ok so this is my new army.

Olis Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 It's a pretty decent start, might I suggest highlights? Just one or two layers can really help a mini's paintjob. The cloak in particular needs a little depth imho. If you want, washes or inks really help add depth. Combined with some highlights you can make a mini look good relatively easily. Does this help? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paolo1023 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 They look good so far! Like Olisredan said, some highlights and washes might help. The only other thing i would say is that you need to mix up your colour placement a bit. Instead of having all the lower legs painted black and the rest red, try doing the odd one with different armour panels painted in black. I don't which white dwarf it was but there is one with a pretty good article about them in which shows what i mean better than me trying to describe it! :P They look good though! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyFire21 Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yeah I know and I am going to mix it up through the army but I wanted to do the legs/shoulder pads like that to show which unit is which something unique so not every unit is the same.

FriendlyFire21 Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 OK just finishes a squad of Bezerkers, the space wolf yellow the i was going for on one of the shoulder pads didnt look quite like i wanted but i will have pics soon.

FriendlyFire21 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 well just finished the vindicator yesterday when i took the pic( the rough spots on the one side have been touched up i noticed them when i posted) as for everything else im going home this weekend to finish basing and there will be pics up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Fair enough. On this particular sub-board it's always a good idea to whack up pictures otherwise people haven't got much to say - it's hard to offer advice when there are no visual cues. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 40k Hobbiest Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 There's some red on the tracks of the vindicator. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not, but it looks like it squished a guy. I kinda like it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_inquisitor Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 From the pics posted, it looks like you need to water your paints down. I just got a friend to start watering his paints down and it instantly improved his painting. It hides brush strokes, retains more details. It takes a few coats sometimes, but it does help. If you are already watering down, I suggest a little more water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriendlyFire21 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 When watering the paints down, should i go over a layer without the watered down paint and then water it down or start with it watered down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 The first coat after the base coat should be watered down, presuming you spray on the base coat. Every coat after that should also be watered down. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriendlyFire21 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 have a unit of raptors on the way. any tips on the bases for them i wanna hide the things that they have showing them flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Dragoon Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 For your raptor bases, I'd personally go with a clod of earth, with some grass. You red corsairs are nice, but with some wash and hightlights they'd be much better ! Also, they seem to have the same pattern colors, try to mix it, I think they'll really dig! Keep it up !
