Another Blood Raven's project.

[Scroll]

Hi all, I'm returning to marines are a very long break painting all sorts of other things and this time I wish to employ a bit more care to my miniatures.

 

The blood ravens tickle my fancy right now so I've decided to paint a 10 man tactical squad, 5 man squad of scouts, a Librarian and 5 Vanguard Veterans. Oh and A Rhino.

 

I've done my test model but I had some issues with the base that I'm not too happy about.

First miniature done and I'm starting the next one as I type this.

Looking good so far :)

I think the base could use a bit more depth, if you know what i mean. As it is it looks a bit 'muddy'. I would suggest using a little more sand and maybe some small pieces of slate as well. 'Static grass' i a great way to add a little colour. When it comes to high-lighting it looks like you had a little too much paint on your brush.

 

I can't wait to see some more of your work, especially the Librarian :P

Aye, I feel that the base could do with some more work, I'm atleast going to make it lighter and possibly fit some slate on there.

 

And as far as the highlights I didn't realise how thick they would turn out till I took the pictures, I might go back to thin them abit and maybe use the baal red wash to blend it a bit.

 

And now here is the result so far:
