Just Finished My Flesh Tearers Baal Predator





C&C Welcome

You used washes right? it looks good, but the wash leaves a really stained appearance. But if that's what you were going for, it's accomplished well, it gives off a bloody feel. One another thing, is just that you should paint over the transfer film. Just a personal thing.

Just some small suggestions;

Can I suggest some very light Codex Gray highlights on the edges of the black armour edging, then darken them with a Black Ink wash.

For the green periscope / vision slits a very thin white highlight along the top edge & one of the vertical edges, then some gloss varnish to give it a glassy finish.

Either take a drill bit or knife carefully bore out the flamer barrels, or just paint them with some dabs of Chaos Black.

Other than that very nice paint job!


Nice to see an 'original' 1st Ed. Rogue Trader era chapter get a mention.

Nice, looks very gritty with the wash stains.

Drill your barrels and file down the mold lines.

It looks really good,
great job

I like the Flesh Tearers colour scheme and I like how you painted this baal predator.

badab black model is badab black.

lookin' good man, ease off on the wash, though. mix some 50/50 Fiery Orange, Blood Red and highlight those edges!

Pretty damn good, definately fits into the flesh tearers style, dark and brooding.

Nice, i havent seen much flesh tears stuff

I have Been Going For a darker theme to make them look gritter it doesn't look quite as well on a tank because there is to many flat surfaces i am in the process of painting chapter master Gabriel Seth , Astorath the Grim , and a death company with power fist and Infernus pistol.
will hopefully post them up soon.

in regarded to ZoomDakkaDakkas suggestion it isn't a transfer its sticker if i paint the edges it comes out a different shade of black. it is not as noticeable in the flesh

I'm not typically a fan of the heavy 'dipped' look... your predator is nice though. I really like the weapons.

That wash pooling is really weird. Limit yourself to just washing the crevasses and the like instead of drowning the whole model in the stuff. Also, the Flesh Tearers symbol looks kind of tacky - is that cut out and stuck on, rather than a transfer? I think it may be a good idea to try freehanding out. I really do want to say nice things about this model, but it's just too messy.
