Flesh Tearer Combat Squad

[horrain]

Hey folks, started a DoA army, and have completed my first combat squad. I've realised that completely building the model before painting slows down the process a ton, so when I build the next unit I'll paint the red torse separate from the shoulder pads, helmet and backpack.

Wow these guys are looking really slick. I would only suggests that you paint in the vents of the armour but these guys are looking badass. Are the symbols handpainted?

[Olis]

As Neophyte has pointed out - those are hand painted FT symbols, yes? They're pretty good. Going to add a blood drop in the middle?

Very nice stuff! I really like the gore, works well with them. :rolleyes:

I assume by vents you mean the flex joints, if so I was originally going to paint them, but on my test model I think it darkens the torse and legs to much, making the model look to dark. Check the photo below for my test model. I know I messed up the jumppack, I've since painted it black, and the model was just to dark :S

As for the symbols, they are hand painted, but I'm not happy with them, so I've ordered some of the small metal ones to replace them with.

Ah yeah I'd not realised I'd missed them till you pointed it out, /me fails ^_^

Thanks, I was worrying it maybe a tad over the top, as its kind of a unifying style choice, as both my Dark Angels(to a lesser extent) and my Cloven Beastmarines(to an excess) have the same blood effect.

Very nice! :)

I always like seeing nicely painted Flesh Tearers.
