What's your red recipe? Really catching colour.

Also wanna ask about bolter's barrels. Doesn't they should be wider?

These are simply beautiful. Well done, and very dark. Love it.

The red is Blood angels contrast paint airbrushed over a metallic gradient.

And yes, barrels would probably look better a bit wider, but that's the size of my drill.

 

The next terminator of the squad, still rocking those scripts and signs.

Airbrushed also, but you can easily drybrush or stipple it

[Firedrake Cordova]

The patina on the metal of the bolter looks really nice

[One-eye]

Thanks guys !

 

Here is a picture of the whole squad. I am pretty happy with them, they look badass together !

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

They really do look great! A cohesive force painted to that standard will look amazing   

[One-eye]

I begin to have a small army of them, I'll try to get a group photo when I'll manage to put them together.

 

Here is Brother Librarian Cairn, Codicier of the Vth company

A simple kitbash, with my go-to reaver head for most of my characters, and the hand from a chaos sorcerer. I used chaos transfers for the cloak and am pretty happy with the result !

I would like to see a battle report with them against the Word Bearers.

[Firedrake Cordova]

The librarian is great - the aged look of the purity seals and the fire effect in his hand are just lovely

[One-eye]

Thank you for being so involved and supportive Firedrake !

 

A vehicule for a change, my Hammerstrike Stormspeeder. Wasn't sure how the scheme will transfer to vehicules (I did 2 dreadnoughts, but it's not exactly the same).

Hope you like it !

It looks great. Colors really pop. Good placement of transfers as well.

Wonderful color scheme and execution! Reminds me of heresy candy red Thousand Sons.

 Thanks mate. Actually they are quite less shiny than a real candy scheme. Which is my aim as I wanted them much more dull and gritty.

 

Back to infantery with the first mini of the second squad of Bladeguard veterans.
I feel like I improved a lot compared with the first one, especially on the "magma" blades.

 

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

I really like the cloth texture on the hood

Thanks, it's quite fast to do once the get the flow of it. My second Bladeguard veteran

 

[One-eye]

And here is the sergent of this Bladeguard squad. 

 

 

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

I'm sure it's getting really boring with me saying they're really nice ... the glow and OSL from the pistol, and the magma effect on the blade are great

[W.A.Rorie]

LOVE'em  

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Your exorcists are gorgeous.

 

My only other comment was that it would be nice to work some of the white (like on the heads of your termies and shoulders of your characters) into your vehicle models.  So, if you were to do another landspeeder type model, perhaps on the tips of the "wings"?  Don't think you need to change the one you've done, but it would be a nice differentiation if you were to do a second (or to do something similar - perhaps a turret or hull stripe - an another vehicle).
