I really like the dirty white scars that you've got going on and that white looks excellent. Thanks for posting so many pictures of your army, it's really cool to see some real white scars painted up. There are so few!

Thanks alot man! Yes, ive always liked to paint weathered and dirty marines. With the scars i dont want to add battledamage since its so easy to mess up and with the white its hard to fix mistakes.

 

But i still want the dirty feel, so im happy you notice it! Im thinking about adding some weatherpowder tho, ill think on it some more :) welcome back anytime :)

White scars really dont get enough love on this site, theyre so cool. The imperfect, more worn in white you have is great. Keep it up man!

[Slothysaur]

I would love to see it! I think you've found a good balance of dirty to the white, but if you don't try we'll never know. I'm looking forward to the results!

Looks great, id just tidy up the edges of the plates with your final white highlight and then it will be spot on :D great work.

[Johanhgg]

Your painting skills are good. I appreciate the effort you put in highlighting and weathering.

Thanks alot! I want my marines to look like they’ve been through hard times :)

Two Tactical marines from the brotherhood of the singing axe. I belive some of you dont approve with the dirty battered direction my white scars have taken. But this is the first time im truly happy with my scars.

Painting believable battle damage is what I'm currently learning and it's hard (at least for me), but I'm really liking it on your scars. I definitely believe now that white scars battle damage should be extensive. I like star wars a lot and your scars look like what stormtroopers should look like after a little while on the battle field. Heck I can't even get down the street before my white sneakers get dirty!

Tl;Dr: these are my favorite of your dirty scars yet.

Thanks alot! Really appreciate you took the time to comment! I really think in this grim Dark future everything should be battered :)

 

I really am impressed by the guys who do clean crisp highlights and all, but i am no good at that and those clean marines dont have personality for me.

 

Battledamage and weathering really takes time to learn, at least for me, so im happy you like them.

 

More coming up tonight, some veterans of the brotherhood of the Dark sun :)

Tactical squad Quan-Tsu of the brotherhood of the singing axe usually deploys fast and hard with razorback (which is in the workshop)

While the asssult veterans of squad Kandik’ra, brotherhood of the black sun deploys by droppod. Usually the mkIII battleplate is considered far too cumbersome, but this squads particular skill in boarding actions and tunnel-fighting demands the extra protection of this mark.

Thank you sarabando!

 

Scout-brother Ashgure has in his short service already earned the honour of the kill. And earned the right to paint a dagger on his steed.

Solid weathering on the bike, most fitting for scouts. The kill marking is a characterful touch.

Cracking work, as per usual. I'd like to see a Rhino or something for these fellas, the cavalry need a ride, after all.

They look great, but honestly I wouldn't go with snow bases. You gotta need some contrast here. Also a non-based trim helps with contrast as well and usually looks better. Simply black would be sufficient.
