ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Hey, I have been a lurker and have posted some things of mine on here, but i decided to actually make a thread for the painted minis of my marines. Here is my four man command squad for my Second Company Captain, first as individual ones, (will get a group shot taken when the battery recharges): First off is Veteran Valtaire: Second is Veteran Aquilinace: Third is Kaldorus: and fourth is Daltaire: i will get the fifth member built when i get a command squad set and build the standard bearer to my liking. I also have several Chaos models, both Chaos Space Marines and Daemons. i will also post them in this thread as well, upon posting all my space marines. C&C welcomed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 The black and silver with red pads contrast very well so its a nice colour scheme. I would suggest adding some highlights to the black to soften it up and ink wash the exposed flesh to give that quick and easy detailing. - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Thanks for the C&C EgoDraconumNigrorum. Ive been looking for tutorials for highlighting since I have never done it at all. No prob. There is a video tutorial on painting/highlighting black armour here. - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Alright thanks! I have taken pictures of almost all my Space Marines. Just need to get the last squad photographed and ill add them to my album on here and then post them onto this thread. Then you will see the Chaos side of me. EDIT: Here is a group shot of my Sternguard squad. I am only short a picture of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultzhoffen Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You need to thin your paint. Rather 2-3 thin coats than one thick one. Furthermore, washes are your friend - quick shading that adds depth (something your minis lack but that may be the colour scheme. I'd suggest browsing the Black Templar site to check out black done well). Also, drill out the barrels of those weapons, an Imperial Saint dies each time we don't.

ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for the comments Schultzhoffen. I have been meaning to drill the barrels out, but with my dad in the shape he is in with his back, I havent had the time to go out to the shop and drill them out. And ill check the Black Templars out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Very nice model mate. Grab yourself some Nuln Oil wash and splash it across your models, it will bring out a more realistic metallic finish. Whats your plans for your bases? - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaptermasterDemon7 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 I do not know yet what I want to do for my bases as of yet. Ive been thinking of either a snowy style base or rubbled, rocked bases. Suggestions are much appriceated and all the c&c i have recieved are helpful. Also, what exactly is Nuln Oil wash? This is the first time I have heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher 102 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Maybe snowy rubble bases? Maybe this will help. Nuln Oil is Games Workshop's black ink replacement for Badab Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrod Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Out of curiosity, which sized brush are you using? It looks to me as though you're using one that's a bit too big, a nice fine tipped brush could help with paint cleanliness. Brush control and patience is also important. These models are small and have a lot of details on them, there's no need to rush them! :) Another thing is that you should add a bit of colour variety to the models to spice them up a bit. The soft under armour at the joints should be black rather than red on those Assault Marines. I would also recommend not using black paint for anything else than things that need to be black. An example is the Plasma Pistol and Bolt Pistol casings. Why use black when you can have another colour that stands out a bit more? That way, the details doesn't get faded away. On the subject of details, I'd definitely recommend using some washes (or Shades, as I believe they're called now). A simple black wash all over the model is a good way to start. It's easy and makes details stick out as well as adding some simple shading! Your models are a good start, and it's great to see that you're asking for and accepting advice! Keep on working on this, I look forward to seeing more from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
