The Shadow Guard Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Hi everyone, I have rarely posted here relegating my efforts mostly to the Dark Angels forum. With the LPC 2012 I got enthused in to doing p a single scout squad which I have now managed to keep rolling forward towards completing my scout army. It's obviously illegal according to the DA Codex but I'm working it based on the SM Codex. I'm aiming to have my scouts all in camo cloaks and blending with jungle scenary.

Kierdale Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Great stuff! I love scouts and those are nicely done, plus the bases with all that foliage are outstanding! Some of them look a little wide-eyed, perhaps you could touch-up the faces a little...a bit of skin-colour above/under the eyes to narrow them. How about a couple of stripes of green face-camo? Just the odd bit to break up the face, not the daft fully-painted-faces of Hollywood :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting better at it I think... :P I think there is a little bit of improvement between squad 1 and 3.. also i find the old metal scout faces a lot easier to paint in terms of expression than the new plastic ones.

Grimdarkness Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nice start they look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Looking good. Though the problem I see is when you accidentally leave the models in terrain when you pack up. Happened to me a few times, and had to go back and find them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongJ Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 very nice tin soldiers! I like the design most and also I like the way they are made - every little detail is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened to me a few times, and had to go back and find them! This is more a modelling effort rather than for play...but... I really haven't seen much scenary anywhere using the old trees these days... They are likely to stand out... My worry is when i place the scouts inside imperial ruins... They will look mighty funny on the first floor of a ruined armoury!!! :lol: SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
