Some of you may have noticed that I pretty much disappeared from Jan to early March, and the reason for that was because I was frantically painting up 1000 pts of HH BA for a local tournament. It was a good event (came 7th out of 10 :/), however due to the limited time i only painted my stuff to a basic table top standard. Now that I'm not under the pressure to get them done I'm going back and improving them to a standard I'm happy with. Here's the first 3...

They look pretty good, mate. Have you thought of hitting the recesses with a bit more shading?

Duly noted. I'll hit em up this eve. Thanks for the kind words and advice. Looking at them they do seem a bit too orange.

 

Nice lightening effect on the power sword Threefiddy.

Been painting this guy tonight, I may actually finish some of these models and post a pic or two with a decent camera. Gonna have a shot at some lightning and perhaps freehand a Tearers Icon on the shoulder.

I decided to fill out my Sanguinary Guard (from 5 to 10) and with the leftover gold I made a Blood Angels Honour Guard.

I have a few more pics on my blog: http://atticwars40k.blogspot.com/

I got 5/7 of my drop pods second hand and ripped the compartment from all of them. It's the stupidest thing ever and makes them even harder to transport!

 

Gunzhard they are wonderful. Been a while since I saw an honour guard and it makes me miss them! The red on that librarians backpack is genius.

Just finished building Drop Pod no. 4 out of 5.

 

On a side note, I'm no longer bothering with putting the troop harness' together. My poor attention span couldn't take it anymore...

You know you're a real gluten for punishment when you magnetise the central column and harnesses so it can be either troop or dread and look the part...

Fluff and some modelling explanations in my WIP, but basically he has a markerlight bolter and a servo-skull instead of the official signum bit because i hate it.

Cheers, gents.

Arkanglios -
1) Vallejo Game Colour Stonewall Grey basecoat.
2) Completely cover with VGC Ghosty Grey.
3) Completely cover with Vallejo Model Colour White.
4) Go back and shade recesses, starting with 50/50 Stonewall Grey/Ghosty Grey and layering back up to pure VMC White.

I think it's the VMC White that makes the difference, it's the most vibrant white paint I've ever come accross.
