Truly inspiring. Nice work.

**Casey's Law**

Interested to see what you come up with for the Vindicare, i'm sure it'll be sweet. As i say, i'd try to tie in the same colours for coherency. Have fun with it!

**Knightley**

Big News I've decided to take part in the Great Marine Swap if you are interested please drop me a PM and we can talk logistics!

@Graven - Glad you like it mate

@TaWaaagh - Cheers, also it can't be a lame joke if it got a chuckle out of me

@GiraffeX - Thanks man, I found Catafish's tutorial really easy to follow for stunning results

@Zari - Hahah, if you are going to do that then I'll need to actually write that small on banners

@eff Tracy - Thanks!

@LSC'L - I've tried to include a little bit of the scheme what do you think?

**Matt.Kingsley**

That's old news, saw that abot 10min ago

nice, your painting my favourite assassin!

**Casey's Law**

Yeh, thats a nice touch. Brings him in as part of the army.

**inmygravenimage**

Say, has he just taken out a Lego man?

**Knightley**

@M.K - I guess if you read the GMS thread before mine then yep, you would have seen the news early

@LSC'L - I wasn't sure on the pouches so I added a black wash to tone it down a bit, I think it helps.

@Graven - How else can he hide in a lego box, Digital camo at its very best my friend!

Update, did some minor changes and added some more color to the synthskin

**elbrokendo**

Looking good son - keep it up... will have to murder you soon - gamewise.

**Casey's Law**

Yeh that looks great. The last image was very dark so the colours looked even darker than they do here, rather than lighter. Using the new image as reference, the black wash was a good idea, i definitely wouldn't go any lighter.

**Knightley**

@elbrokendo - I'm always up for a challenge!

@LSC'L - Cheers, finished model below

Update: Operative LXXIV completed

I love/hate him. You're on a different continent right? Surrounded by water??

Good... you and your assassin... stay put!

**TaWaaagh**

Looking great!

**Knightley**

@Gits - That did manage to get a chuckle out of me, I plan on staying put for a while longer, I traveled quite a bit while I was younger and I'm more than happy to stay in NZ for a bit longer

@TaWaaagh - Thanks

I think your "Bit of time" severly differs from my "bit of time" lol. Its looking amazing, and you make grey looking stunning and not just .. well Grey.

**Eggroll**

Nice job on the interior of the rhino. The colour you chose works very well.

**Gitsplitta**

The highlighting on the floor grates is pretty amazing. Did you need therapy after that?

**Knightley**

@M.K - I bask in your approval

@M0rdain - Thanks man, I believe its the Spacewolf grey highlights and Adeptus Battlegrey shading which really helps here.

@Eggroll - Thank you man! Your chaplain group picture was to stunning for words!

@Gits - Yep, I went into therapy when I suggested it to myself, problem was I was told "you gotta do what you gotta do" I think it's the last time I'll listen to that therapist

Update: All grey has been done, including highlighting

1st stage, quite see through at this point

2nd stage, much more solid

3rd stage Highlights done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Holy Bejezzus!

Just so you know, that's the first time i've used

!

Your whole army is looking immense! It's been a pleasure looking through all the pictures since my last visit. Although all of you techniques are equally impressive I am most amazed by how you do your power weapons. I haven't seen the swirly power beam before, reminds me of Ghostbusters (which is a good thing!

)

Anyway, keep up the great work! Any chance of an Army pic?

**Matt.Kingsley**

stunning!

**Casey's Law**

You, my friend, are awesome. And cool. In fact the only way you could be more cool is if you were a brony. Then you'd be 20% cooler. I second the army picture!

**Gitsplitta**

Fantastic looking group there my friend. Really sets the bar high when I finally am able to work on finishing BLACKHAND's Red Knights.

**bigfish**

Really liking your army and the way your doing it, cant wait to see more from you

**lipsdapips**

I've updated the thread now with many different updates!
You're rhinzerbano looks real nice with other finished squads around it.
May I ask how you take your pics?
