Harald Fairmane Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I recently talked a friend of mine into buying battle of macragge, and played through the missions with him. Even though I was bored playing them (you know, those are only to teach you the game, and playing tyranids was especially boring) he thought it was fun. And thus, a space marine player was born. Anyways, he painted a few of the minis, and being unfamiliar with forums he asked me to upload some images for him. When he showed them to me, I was very suprised by how good they looked. So what do you guys think? His name is "samedag", all credits go to him. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/Dash4/firstpainted.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/Dash4/firstpainted2.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/Dash4/firstpainted3.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/Dash4/firstpainted4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigron Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I'm sorry, didn't mean to be rude. what I meant was... if your starting level is that good, and even if you progress as slowly as I do, what will it be then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodthirster90 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Guillman's Oath, those are good for a first timer. Imagine how awesome you'll be after a year in the hobby (if your wallet survives that long ;)) Looks like Boltman might have a competitor in the near future.

Black Daemon Templar Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Pretty good man! I would have shaded the skin tone a bit more as it looks kinda strange round the eyes. And I would cut down on the colours in your SM colour scheme as well. Either cut the red or the green (red is the most clich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harald Fairmane Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 I saw some guys who looked like yours, with a bit less colours. Maybe you can paint more like them? They look really cool if you ask me anyways(well apart from the fact that they are being slaughtered).. http://www.coolminiornot.com/31390 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
