Rik Biel Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well - I'm new here and thought I'd put up some pics of my work.

KingDeath Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Looking good. The white might need some work ( particularly on the Sternguard, the Beakie's helmet looks much better ) but otherwise i like them.

Rider-75 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The colours are very nice and crisp and I particularly like the fact you've gone to the effort of putting them into a display base :lol: With the white on the first sternguard, I'd suggest making sure you thin down the paint and build up a strong white over several layers. Also with the sergeant, have a go at a simple wash and highlight on his face to give him some depth and character. Awesome first go though ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/259892-my-first-wh40k-efforts-ultramarines/#findComment-3162557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Volsung- Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You're slapping hella thick paints on the white. Give it an intermediary like fortress grey, then try the white on top of it. Yeah the sternguard needs some black lining. The beakie looks pretty good, just needs to thin down the white a bit. Blue looks great, tho!
