And that my dear smurfette, you pulled off incredebly good.. thouh imo, think you could put a little more on the purity seal on his shoulder.

Yeah, nice work on also using the greek style helmet too!

Pretty solid looking paint again

A little work on cleaning up your shoulder trim and a few highlights would make this top notch, but you are improving all the time!

What order are you applying your colours in?

Excellent work. The helmet looks pretty good painted. I wasn't sure about it before. Thanks for the tip on the gold

Once again bubble your painting is truly awesome! How many models/squads have you painted for your Ultras? Will we be seeing any army photos any time soon?

Very nice stuff, my only slight crit is the white on the shoulder pads on ^^^^ this guy looks a bit too pristine. I think a light grey (perhaps with a little blue wash mixed in) as a base, and then work up to a white edging highlight might take away the impact from a wall of white.

Just some food for thought, but your painting is excellent overall. Keep it up.

Lookinggood Bubba-ho-tep!!!

Um I tend to do base blue first, wash in blue, then do the gold bits etc and leave the blue highlighting and black wash on the gold till last xxx

Thankiess xxx

well bubble... you are rather productive now... the left shoulderpad of the new guy looks very cool indeed... i like how you´ve built up theose hues... same goes for the head... you are really getting the hang of painting... somehow you are at a very good paintinglevel now!!!

BUT...one thing i have to point out...
would it be possible to either get yourself some shoulderpads with raised ultra details OR to attempt to freehand the sign on the right pad? the decal looks so flat compared to the stunning paintjob on the left shoulderpad... i fear the use of decals would let your skill down a bit...

and nice new title too^^

Bubble is that IG psyker in you sig painted by you?

@vik thanks for you thoughts as usual i'll bear that in mind next time i paint a model!

and @rogue, noooo it's j-paint's! it's just some shameless promotion for him, he's auctioning it off on ebay : lol xxx

i bet you have enough freehand skills already to do that... try yourself on a piece of paper...!

i hope j-paint sells it for a mint price!
