Painting blog

[ianj253]

Hey all, So I think I'm going to use this thread as a painting blog. I got into the game right when 6th started and blood angels are my first army! I already have unpainted models piling up and I was hoping this thread might motivate me to keep on painting!

 

As of now I'm not the greatest painter, but I'm hoping as I continue to paint I will continue to grow as a painter. Feel free to leave advice or tips if you feel like it!

 

I'm currently working on painting 5 RAS. So far I've gotten them up to the red I want and painted black where necessary. These guys are still miles from completion but here's a few pictures. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a second highlight on them and maybe start painting some weapons.

 

Feel free to leave advice or tips if you feel like it!

Nice start dude, nice neat solid red.

 

Before anyone else tells you though here's the golden advice given to all newbies - prep your moldels before you paint them: Scrape off the mold/flash lines with a blade!!!

 

It really allows your models to go to the next level :)

 

Good luck!

Keep at the painting everyone improves with time! My first few squads where terrible, now well they are slightly less terrible :D

 

I look forward to seeing you complete that squad and keep up the posts it will be nice to see how you progress!

Painting early and often is the best way to start. I started building everything, and now I have no excuse to build again for years... :woot: Looking forward to following this!
