Brother Excedis Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Alright so I have a bunch of friends who have properly motivated (and by that I mean forcing me to) fully paint my army to play with them. So here is my go. This is my latest chapter that I fell in love with the concept of. The Emperor's Legion (chapter name is workable). They are a BA successor. It is a roman legion symbolic chapter. In that I mean there will be a lot of Roman legion references. Like the chapter master will hold the title of Caesar and his personal guard are the Praetorians. So here are the first four of the praetorians: fully painted He is shiny because I tried some polyurethane spray and I don't like how it turned out. But I love the power weapon effect I came up with. PiP workin on him, slowly but surely. Hoping to finish him tomorrow night and start the next one. Black based Assault troopers (black based) Sergeant Troopers Terminators Can't find the fifth one right now....he's lost somewhere in this dormroom.... And my tactical trooper that is my paint scheme test. Still a PiP but I really love how it is so far. C&C if you would please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrum Vinco Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I like the idea, but could you post a picture from the painter or some done minis so we can see the color scheme, not just for the normal marines, but also for things like the pratorians Keep up the good work!

Astrum Vinco Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 You might want to consider painting more of the details, . like the armor ornaments and eyes, otherwise the models looks a bit flat. Just some food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Excedis Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Had to use a different camera this time but here is a PiP of the latest Praetorian. The camera doesn't really show all the highlights and such but it does a pretty good job...I should invest in some sort of lighting thingy you guys use...and a better camera.... C&C please! Thanks!

Schultzhoffen Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The latter models are much better. Details matter. Furthermore, remember: a good wash is your friend -either Nuln Oil or Argax Earthshade (esp wrt the red/gold). Either would add shading and depth. You should also look at adding some small sharp highlights (esp. to the black, otherwise the model looks incomplete). Lastly, rather use 2-3 thinned layers of paint rather than one thick coat. You'll thank yourself in a few years when you look back at your army. After all, these models cost plenty, you might as well paint them to the best standard you can. ...oh, one last thing (I know you're not finished) but nice basing really makes a model stand out.
