ravenguard2010 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hi all, Quick update on the Tactical Squad for my Omegas. Not a huge one I'm afraid but the odd update like this will help keep me focused. I'm on the tactical sergeant at the moment - He's about half done, but you can get the general idea about how the model is coming together. However I'm undecided about how to paint the power weapon at the moment. There are loads of cool ways to paint a power weapon, a quick google reveals a whole host of them, but I'm still not sure which type is going to suit the gritty 'grim dark' type of effect I'm going for with this army. I'm a big fan of OCL, but probably should get more experience of it under my belt before I potentially ruin this guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus Stormbringer Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Like these alot, the detail in the faces in really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 You hate painting faces, yet you paint them better than I do... What kind of logic is that? :jaw: The update is definitely appreciated and I'd like to ask you if you minded if I painted up a few Astartes in Omega Marine colours to see how I like it? I mean you're the one who got me inspired and I'd hate myself if you felt like I was trying to steal your ideas or something like that (yes, I've seen it happen, which is why I'm asking first, just to make sure :jaw:). Cheers, Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleal Baros Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Really like these guys, great posing and colour scheme. I like the 'weight' your posing seems to give them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenguard2010 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 You hate painting faces, yet you paint them better than I do... What kind of logic is that? :P It seems I might actually have finally got the hang of them. I've stopped trying to paint the eyes in, that's the difference, as I've rarely pulled that off convincingly.. Think I'll let the inks do the work for me from now on, and leave teeny tiny pupils etc to the pros. The update is definitely appreciated and I'd like to ask you if you minded if I painted up a few Astartes in Omega Marine colours to see how I like it? I mean you're the one who got me inspired and I'd hate myself if you felt like I was trying to steal your ideas or something like that (yes, I've seen it happen, which is why I'm asking first, just to make sure :blink:). Cheers, Ludovic Not at all mate, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that!! :) But yes, by all means. It would be good to see more takes on them because examples of other people's attempts at Omega Marines are pretty thin on the ground online. Cheers guys.

Veteran Sergeant Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Those are some good looking Marines so far. You captured the buzzcut hair quite well Interested to see where you go with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I thank you for accepting my request, much appreciated! It could be a while before I get to paint again, but the project is slowly forming :) Cheers, Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
