Here is the start of my 2nd 40k Army.

and here is Mac my first scout wip based on The Unit please note the suppressor on the BoltGun.

You forgot the 'c' in Scythes

Scout looks very clean. The Yellow came out nice and solid (if a bit bright for SotE), which makes me assume it isn't citadel?

No its P3's Cygnus yellow.

Looking good so far, love to see more pics!

flesh is Midland with the P3 flesh wash

I'm liking the surpressors on the bolters...that's a nice touch...good luck with them!

I have filed off the chaos star from a power fist and made an aux grenade launcher for a captain, also got the codex and sniper scouts

Coming along nicely. We just need a camera shot with better depth of field so we can see his face!

I have forgotten to take a photo of the power fist with the aux grenade launcher.

nice looking paint jobs there, as has been said the yellow looks great, really vibrant.

Just a note on the photos, it looks like you've either not got your camera in macro mode or you're putting the lens too close to the model for it to be able to focus properly. Try putting the mini a bit further away from the lens and cropping the pic down afterwards.

Try putting white paper behind the figures it will force the camera to focus on the mini.

Might add a unit of Sisters or two.

I have taken the blood drops off the Hulk libby and have Primed him black for the Scythes, just need the press to finish the dood when the time comes.

Sounds cool. Looking forward to seeing him with some color on him.

Done some metal or mental work and did a base coat of Mordian Blue.

Dont know what to do with the BA SH Termies.

Ill be painting/converting my space hulk marines into Ultramarines, so there is nothing stopping you doing the same for scythes.

Just get rid of the blood drops and the wings.

The yellow looks nice with the blue libby colors.

Thank you kind sir. I'm watching Legend of the Seeker on Sci-fi and want to add a confessor.

Its all awesome.

Always nice to see more Scythes armies, 'Sotha will be avenged!'

Good work so far.

Thank you, before House I cleaned up the Termies, all BA symlbles are off, I hate the CC termies they just dont do anything for me.

I have added Hammerfall Khaki to the pages of the Libby's book (who will be called 'Zeddicus "Zedd" Zu'l Zorander' from now on.) and also to his robes that will end up a bone colour.

Colors are very stark right now. Will you be washing or shading what you have down so far? Or going brighter with the highlights? I think a good mix could be rather beneficial. You have the brush control for a bit more variation in the color ^_-.

I have the blue wash in the post and should arrive in the morning (If it gets posted)

I have the base blue and yellow, Hammerfall Khaki and bone on the robe, Hammerfall Khaki on the seals, he is still a wip, all the blood drops have been removed on all my terminators. Sorry to BA fans never liked them to start with.

That libby 'Zedd Zeddy Zedd Zedd' looks ace.

He is going to be the new commander of my Ultramarines army, as I cant stand the guy from the Blackreach set.

As Grey says a wash here and there will do wonders for the depth of your models. A little Ogryn flesh maybe around the yellows would work.

I used Sepia (where do they get the names from?) on the yellow

Apparently it was originally made from the ink from 'Sepia' cuttlefish. eww...
