Ok so im new to dakka. This is my current army, mainly built up from Black Reach. Comments appreciated
FALL IN LADZ !













There are a few bits missed out. Like the glyph on the trukk "turret" and some top knots and the such.

Simple yet effective. I liek them man. That one nob with the chiansword PK looks like the one I made, so that being said, NOICE lol

I do like! Very much!

The red is a little too 1 dimensional, it needs weathering and maybe a couple of darker bits around rivets and in the holes of the shootas. Your metal bits look really good, try and get the same texturing as you got there.
And on the skin: Washes are your friends! If you look at your first pic, the nob next you your warboss to the right looks a little patchy with the light green, a darker wash will make it pop a bit better.

But wow, the green and red combo's really effective.

Nice work! The red could do with some shading, but I like them. simple, but effective.

Yeah shading has never really been my strong point but I might try out some weather...I did some on my larger vehicles once but never really scalled it down.
The nob with the chainsaw powerclaw is one of my favorite models to date

@InyokaMadoda - I feel ashamed it took me so long to realise the link between that song >.< LOL

if you need quick and easy shading then there is a great way.


Shading the red: use a brown wash over the red (gives it a nice dirty look) then simply higlight it again with red.

as for damage: if you need some quick scratches and scrapes then paint a small scratch area with vermin brown, paint boltgun metal inside of that (leaving some brown around the edges) then mithril silver inside the boltgun metal (same way as explained previously)

gots the shading will put up pics when ive gone through em. Watered down scorched brown to dirty up and the battle damage results are pretty good, cheers JD

UPDATE: Ive finished the green stuff goggles (well I say green stuff what im actually using is milliput, just as good but cheaper and alot more of it )

Im going to picture them before painting and then after painting. Again C&C = much appreciated

Oooh also I got an email from this bits company who are sending me a small set of ork biker heads with goggles on em, so there will be at least a small amount of professionalism to the whole thing heh

You can also see the darkening of the reds. Much less striking but red non the less. That was just a wash of scorched brown. And I know that I sort of messed up the mouth on one of the orks. From a distance you cant see it.

Goggles look pretty nice man. also loving the weathering!

AHhhhh. the googles!!! lol .Am i allowed to say 'lol' on Dakka?
