DannyJZuko Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hello Brothers, So, to break up the monotony of painting my first tactical squad (pictures to come very soon) I painted one of my scouts. This is the first scout I have ever painted and I wanted to see what you all thought about it. Thanks for any additional ideas or criticisms. I plan on adding some backpacks or things like that to make teh scouts look a little more utilitarian. But, this is the basic look I am going for. Also, the base is incomplete. http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx66/dannyjzuko1/IMAG0436.jpg http://i742.photobucket.com/albums/xx66/dannyjzuko1/IMAG0437.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237505-ultramarine-scout/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watcher in the Dark Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Looks good, nice crisp highlights. He looks very clean though, like it's his first rodeo. As you have said you will be adding some stuff to make him seem more utilitarian so I would like to see what you do.

DannyJZuko Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks, everyone. I am definitely looking into various IG and FW backpacks to add to the squad. I am also fairly comfortable using green stuff, but I am not sure what kind of things to add. Any reference material more than the pictures in teh codex? Thanks in advanced. Also, the rest of my marines all feature battle damage and grime, so expect to see that added to the scouts as well.

The Normish Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The blue is a bit too rich, I would say. Depends on how you painted the rest of your army. Otherwise, I think the quality of it is excellent. As for green stuff decorations, what I did for some of my scout sergeants is make gold braid for them, to denote their seniority.
