Thanks for the comments guys.

Had a really productive weekend painting.....unfortunately it was the bathroom (maybe I should vowed that for the Campaign as a Fortification.....the company latrine)....anyway I digress. Progress on my second vow has been slower than I wanted. I have finished a test model for the Psykers. As a rule I like to compartmentalize the different units of my army by colour but still have them tied in to the rank and file with certain contrast colours. Rank and file Red/White, Priest brown/red, Commissars Navy Blue/Red, Spec Ops Black/red, Psykers Blue/Red/White. I wanted my wyrdvane psykers to follow the same idea Blue/red/white, but I didnt want them to be the same blue as the primaris because lets face it their not that important and given half a chance they would be used as fuel for the Golden throne. So I think I'm going to go with lighter blue. See what you think. Concern is my Psykers look like Cpt America...

Captain Am... Terra psyker approved. Honestly, I haven't even thought about Captain America colors before reading the text. Cyan would be too bright, wouldn't it ? Great work anyway ;) Edited by Guilloom
tried a blue wash on another model tonight, it drops the blue in tone WF as you described, but brings the colour basically the same as my primaris. And I kind of want the robe colour to designate a rank of sorts...prob should of gone with cyan as guillloom suggested.

This guy's Skitarii may exactly the blue you want.

Worth a look anyway.

 

Btw, did I tell you how the paintwork on this psyker's face is astonishing? No? Done !

Group shot I think. Looking through my army box, got a few half finished squads that need sorting. And a lot of grey...but that's what the ETL is for. Only stuff in the to build queue is a vet squad, and a 22 year old reclaimed chimera.

Vow complete for assault on Lutum phase 3.

Below is a shot of my psyker evolution within the life guards (from right to left). The design idea was that the more formidable the psyker the darker the robes.

Any thoughts welcome

Coming next Army Shot....

They look good, though seeing them all together makes me feel a dash of complementary colour(s) would help. I did the eye/gem bit on the staves to help give the models a bit of alternate colours on my psykers.

Spot of house cleaning. Clearing my paint queue prior to ETL, this guy was another rescue model from my parents loft. Here's a progress shot of one of my current projects. I've taken inspiration from a character in a up coming movie for this fella (gold stars if know).

Edit: Should I be posting this guy here mods? If not melta with extreme prejudice. And my apologies.

I love the highlighting on the red, the only thing I can think of is adding a little something to the eye piece as it looks a bit flat compared to the rest of the detail. Maybe it just needs a little bit of white?

I know well the camera's lies, if only the pictures made the model look better than it does in real life... :lol: I think a bit of a wash for the corners would give it more definition, plus a gloss varnish always looks nice (though cameras tend not to show that either).

As promised a group shot. Its only of my completed units, there is a fair few either half painted or less.

Great army pic! A very striking scheme.

I Particularly like the camo on the vehicles.
