Worked on a couple things so far. Let me know what you think.

Nice a clean on the whites, also nice weathering on the black, me likey muchly.

Very nice, sharp highlights, and a beautiful white. I quite like it.

Nice and clean. Good job.

Probably the cleanest and nicest looking Iron Hands I've ever seen posted here. Excellent job!

Hope to see more of your work on here soon. An army painted to this standard would be excellent looking!

Take it easy!

I'm glad you guys really like them. I will make sure to post more pics as I go along. Thank you for the great feedback, means a lot.

What do you use to do the line work on the white? Fine-tipped pen?

I presume you prime the bodies black, and prime the heads and weapons white separately?

Stunning, absolutely stunning. I really really love the white, could you let me know how you achieved this? The edge highlighting of the black is also really nice, makes the black panels pop nicely

Are the shoulder decals freehand? they look really nice

Your absolutely correct Nykidemus. I spray them seperate then I pin wash the white. When i say pin wash i mean with the tiniest brush you can find (fine detail). It's pretty tough but with practice the cleanup gets less and less. I didnt want to try and highlight all the black on the marines, so I just pick out key parts of the armor, like the knee pads or elbow pads and backpack. My goal here was to do a quick color scheme while focusing on making the white stand out like crazy. That way I can get away with not having to highlight all that black. When it comes to vehicles I do however edge all the black.

Also, all the chapter symbols are freehand. I didnt want to buy or use the decals because decals dont look the best on black. So I free hand the white hand and its worked out pretty well so far.

Seriously, come live in my basement and paint all my models. These are exactly what I've been trying to get out of my iron hands for years. /sniffle

Very clean & solid.

Well done sir. You are a far better painter than I.

Dude. How do you do that white so damn good?
