Hi! I only started playing again last year, tried playing as a kid during 2nd edition but didn't have the time or money, now I do! My chapter are a codex Blood Angels chapter, I've not settled on a name yet but think I like Red Jackals.

I thought I'd post up some of my painting to see peoples opinion, it's fairly basic but I'm still learning







EDIT: I'm slowly editing this page with better pics

Looks pretty good to me. In a weird way, I even like the odd purple color in there.

Is that the purple on Commander Erazmus and the Techmarine? If so all my models had that but it's difficult to pull off well on a regular basis so I repainted with Liche purple It's just Hormagaunt purple with Azurmen blue wash.

Yea, really tho it looks good. Purple is a royal color yanno. And your avatar is somewhat freakin me out lol

You brits have weird tv shows lol

It looks great. By the way, did the dread lose a fight with a sandblaster? That's the most extreme battle-damage I've ever seen.

I didn't convert it too well so it's to hide my poor work with green-stuff I've got a Vindicator that's even worse, I did that one because it used to be a looted wagon so had lots of glue scars from where I had removed Orky bits

This guy isn't likely to get painted soon as I don't have the rest of the command squad...

Nice. Could possibly name them "emporer's pointy sticks..." hurr hurr.

Just kidding. I do think the purple fits the palette while providing a nice contrast. Very well done, thanks for sharing!

yeah its from the father tead were jack gies sleep walking naked with all the rabits

The Captain has a terminator one, just cut off the shoulder and glue on a standard one The standard bearer has one from the GW bits section (either a five thunder hammer and storm shield kit or Iron Hands conversion pack i think), Erazmus already has one as he is the 2008 Games Day special I know their special ability wont be used much but I'm willing to pay 5 point for coolness

EDIT: Cleared Up

@ Grim.Badger, I really like those heavy flamers. super simple, and it looks good. Nice.

Cheers, it's done with a mix of bleached bone with blazing orange, then a Sepia wash, then highlight with the original colour
