Kassill Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 They look good brother! My only word of advice, is they lack depth. Maybe a wash or two to get in the recesses of the pants and armor and such would make them not look so flat. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buliwyf Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks for the tip, Kassill! My friend is basically mentoring me through a lot of the painting in 40k, and he said at my skill level, I need to emphasize a clean paint job and the depth/highlights will come later. That'll be what I'm working on next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buliwyf Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 The flocking was harder to get a snow effect I really liked. THe process basically went like this: 1: Paint the top of the base white 2: Clear off a spot on cardboard/another surface. Get a generous helping of Elmer's glue, mix in some white paint, and then put the GW snow flock all together and mix. 3: Keep adding the snow flock til it gets to a malleable consistency and apply to the base. 4: Dip the whole thing in GW Snow Flock 5: Position the figure on the snow how you want it and press down a little bit, making footprint indentions. This can help you to lean your figures back or over. A lot of Marines, I notice, look like they're falling forward, so I tried to make sure I had some that were leaning back a bit and this helped a lot. 6: Take the figure off, wait for it all to dry (this might take a couple hours) and then superglue the figure on. You can optionally spread some superglue across the whole thing, giving it a shiny finish. It'll also dissolve some of the Elmer's, giving the snow some depth and helping it all to harden together.
