Hello!

I took some new pictures now. I have updated the thread

I am a fresh Dakka Dakka member. Looked at the site alot and found some very nice master painters here.
So I thought I post some of my uhm, not so master painted models.
Yeah I am looking for ways to improve my painting skills (arn´t we all?).

My goal with this project is to get a cool army (I wont play with it thou) and to learn how to handle my brand new Airbrush.
Well I´m not big on public speaking so I just toss some pics out.

Lets start with my Baal Predator:




Next is an unfinished Land Speeder.



The Rhino make an entrance!




And lastly, my Dread.


Now we have some Sanguinary Guard (Yeah, they are flying)
I haven´t finished the banner yet. But it is coming.
Haven´t retaken the picture of these guys yet.

It looks very good so far, but better pictures would help a lot more

Just got myself a new camera.
Been messing around alot today with different settings etc.

I think this is my best pic sofar. Gonna mess around abit more. (Only cropped the pic, nothing else)

Edit:
Removed the pic. There is a better one in the thread now.
lets save some bandwidth.

Very nice, new pic gelps alot, pics taken in a llightbox or sunllight are the best, remember to use the macro settings!

My only concern is the darkness of you red, I personally like BA in your faca disgrace kind of red, but again thats just personal preference. I'll be watching this one.

I have updated the thread now with some decent pictures.

Looking like a very good start, although the colours are a little flat, a gryphonne wash on the SG, and a Blood red line highlight then blazing/vomit extreme highlight will work wonders

Looking good, tho I dont like the flying bases on some of your marines, they look very clumsy like they are just falling all over the place.

Gonna do some fixing as you suggested Xenith.
Was some good points.

Now, let me introduce my nearly finished squad:
Ironhelms.


Going to toss up a better pic once it is done. (I experimented abit with light in this photo)

I have just started on my command chars now.
I would love some feedback on how to improve these models.
Things to think of, what to avoid etc.

Only the red is done yet thou but I think you will get a general idea atleast.





Oh btw.
How do you think I should handle the white?
Shade it with watered down grey, repaint the white or shade it with black (berhaps black wash)?

Would also love your oppinion on these 2 cloaks.
Which one to go with?

One is almost done (atleast the body).
Just some minor fixes now.
(Sorry for the bad quality. Will take better once all 4 is done.)

.. WOW. What is the marine on the left? It's awesome.. which of the chapter masters is he?

On the cloaks, I prefer the darker brown, it makes the red that much more effective. The lighter one kind of blends with the whites a little too much.

incredibly different approach on, well basically everything. I dont know if I like so much white in the army....everything kinda looks like sanguinary priests to me. I really like the dynamic poses of your san guard though, great job.

he is from this pack:

Since it´s not a playing army I will just pick what models I like, and I really liked these 4.
But does it still blend with the modifed cloak?

Is it my white or white in general you mean?
I´m not a wise-ass, just wanna know if I failed to pull it off decent.
Nice that you liked my guard.


How about the powersword btw?
Anyone have any tups on how to improve that? I´m not really satisfied with it so I need to make the next one better. (perhaps hard to see thou...)

Well here is the whole group.
All done (I think ^^)

C&C are very welcome.
