James811 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hey guys I'm a new blood angels player and decided to start a blog to keep me motivated. Here is the first guy all done apart from basing as I'm buying some painted resin bases for them, I hope you like him :) Comments more than welcome http://s1203.photobucket.com/user/james8111/media/imagejpg1-5.jpg.html Let me know if you can scroll through the pictures as I'm new to photo bucket James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 A fine start, brother! You'll likely get more attention if you directly link the pictures, though. Right click the picture, select copy URL, paste it between [*/img] tags on this forum. Voila!http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg3-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 That's a good start. What base are you going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James811 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks, do you have to write those in? I'm going for these bases http://www.fantascape.co.uk/114-gothic-ruins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looking good. If you are willing to put some more effort into them, maybe some highlights would help them to go from perfectly fine to absolutely gorgeous ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James811 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Got it thanks guys using iPad so had to go the long way around. Anyway, those are the bases I'll be using. I would like the blood drops to pop a little more but it's red on red so I guess it won't really. Hope you like the new pictures, They are just edge highlighted with wild rider red but I'm not a huge fan of the cartoony look of really stark likes of high lights which is why it's fairly subtle, I'm hoping the base will make the colour pop a little more as it will give a nice contrast to the red, if not I can go back and add a little more. Thanks for the kind words, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 James, what you can do to the blood drops: use a really dark red as a base colour, highlight it with brighter red and paint it over with gloss varnish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James811 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Right guys, going to add a little more to him, will post a pic later :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James811 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ok he's done now guys and I have some better pictures http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg7.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg6.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg5.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg1.jpg The highlights are a little drowned out from the light as it's dark here so took the photo with my painting lamp on. The blood drops were done again using khorne red, evil suns scarlet, white mixed with evil suns scarlet, then a drop of white in the corner followed by a red glaze and then a gloss varnish to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James811 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Second marine on the way, posed this guy reloading his bolter having a little look around, again, struggling to get good lighting to show how they look as the light is drowning out the shade and highlights but I'll get some good ones when a few more are done http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg1-1.jpg http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb394/james8111/imagejpg2-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
