And the Mauader

The color scheme is good, and they're cleanly painted models. Already in very good shape, but some things to try:

The chipped paint effect is on the right track, but looks a little too clean in these shots. Try making the metal dimmer and more rusty. The shields on the Kodiak look more like it, the rams on the Marauder less so...

It looks like you've got some grease streaking going on in places, and it's effective, but I think you could do even more, plus add some greasy depth to the recesses between armor plates.

All in all, the effect of these models is too clean to match up to the worn, chipped paint.

Warmachine Jacks tend to have a lot of empty featureless surface to them. The trick is to give those surfaces some personality.

They look solid overall. Though, I would like to see you go all the way with weathering them as well. Maybe a light highlight on the greens as well.

I love these models btw. I want to try warmachine out pretty bad.

they look great! Have you picked up some Hordes?

I actually am in the process of selling these off. I just did not care for the game system. i wanted to play a game with the Jacks ( Giant robots) but after the first year the game was out it was all about mass infantry with a few Jacks here and there, not what i was looking for. Not to mention the fact that I dont think the models are all that great over all for metal models, all things considered. GW plastics and all ya can do with them have really won me over.

The pictures came out pretty good, but the colors are slightly off. The red is not quite so orange and the green has more tones in it that ya cant really see. I like to see a big picture of a model but I find that the over all look of the model changes the bigger you see it.

I knwo what ya mean about the wheatering, I just cant seem to do dirty, must be my ocd. I have like 5K worth of fully painted Orks for 40K and you should see how "clean" they are for Orks. LOL

Glad ya like , thanks for the comments.
