So I finally finished my command squad, I'm quite pleased with how this stuff turned out especially the banner, never tried freehand before, but LittleBoyBlues inspired me to have a go. It looks kind of rough and some of the colours look really bright, but there more subtle shades in real life. It is supposed to depict a Pre-Imperial legend of the Blood-Brothers homeworld, The Earth-godess saw the featureless land and wept for her lost children, a single tear of blood, which created life so on so forth. The Champion was my first ever go at blendiing on the sword its not great but since then I think I have refined the technique a bit more on other models. The Apothecary really had me stumped at one stage, but I decided white was simply too bright so its a space wolf grey heavily washed. Hope you guy's like it.

It's a good start, although the banner looks more like a clown than a war hero.

Are blood bros a choas chapter?

No just my D.I.Y SM chapter, oh and Valykrie the banner is supposed to be a Pre-Imperial earth godess read the intro.

Really impressed with the freehand on the banner, i know i couldnt paint it that well.

Just come back from Barcelona, reminds me of some of the picasso paintings i saw.

keep it up.

Thanks I am actually very into Picasso's work and style though I didn't intentionally base this on his work.

Just a little update as I won't be able to post for a while, I know its hard to make out the details and colours but its quite dark here and Its more to let you guys get the impression of what I'm trying to achieve with this banner, thanks

looking good, i would suggest working on your picture taking. Your minis look awesome, but the photos detract from them. I had the same problem with my older camera too.

Yeah as the first commenter said it looks more like a clown on the banner.
