My first squad


Bolt Thrower

Recommended Posts

I've almost finished my first handful of dudes from my the AoBR box. I haven't painted before (apart from a van saar gang many moons ago) so any criticism is more than welcome, always happy to learn.

 

The pics looked better on my phone, they're a little too over exposed.

For your first real models... :) DANG...they're better than I can do, and I've been painting for a little over 3 years now (started playing 6 years ago, only started painting 3 years ago).

 

I'd recommend getting some of the Citadel Washes, they're amazing, and washing the armor with Thraka Green. Of course, that's my opinion, others may say different. And Ogryn Flesh for the sarge's face.

 

Good work though, I like them.

I've given them a wash with badab black and ogryn flesh but it doesn't show up too well on the pics. The armour could do with another wash to be honest. I did try to leave some the black undercoat showing as per tutorials but struggled with it. I haven't highlighted or put chapter markings on yet either (although they are naturally highlighted due to the pic being taken in daylight).

Wow, looking great. I would suggest to wash the red with baal red wash (or the brown wash, if you don't mind darkening the red). Also, I'm guessing you don't have a ton of paints, but next time you're buying paint grab the brown foundation paint and brown wash, and paint the holster and pouches and other details using them.

 

And, if you feel like really taking them to the next level, go ahead and try edge highlighting.

 

Good luck ^_^

 

edit: forgot to close parentheses haha

Aye, I need some brown. I left them green and figured I could always add details like that when I get the paint. I tried some highlighting last night and while my patience remained intact it looked pretty good. When I started to try and rush it went on a bit thick and will need redoing.
