Thank you!

After looking through these pictures for a while I actually put my vote in for green bolters. I like it and though the red looks outstanding it does give a bit more gravitas to the special guys and I like that. Sometimes I think it's better to hold off on the bestest, greatest, most amazing paint and save it for characters just so they stand out even more. Most excellently done and I'm going to try the same scheme on my tyranid warriors just because... It all looks great!

Very good highlighting tips!

Thank you, and I'm looking forward to seeing the tyranids.

Thanks, I hope it helps.

I think I need a lightbox or just better photography skills ... Perhaps both.

Finally finished the tactical sergent:

looks kl

Very nice work, I've never thought of using white as an undercoat for my templars. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I'll try to get some better pics today.

Oh now these are nice, really diggin' the Multi-Melta there too. Any further progress on the castellan?

they look awesome

Thanks guys.

No castellan progress yet, I'm looking for a combat shield for him before he gets primed.

Poor progress, only about a dozen finished figures thus far:

I finished the conversions on the captain/marshal and the 2nd. squad's veteran sergent, minus bolter:

You made your point.

Thanks!

that work aswell? lol

Oh that's raelly cool! Love the one with the multi-melta! You got to include more of those little colour variations in your army, kind of like the cover of the 3rd edition 40k box!

This army looks great... I especially like your simple but effective use of red. It stands out well!

Love those conversions. Coming along nicely!

Thanks! That's the plan, I just put a missle launcher goon together and need to figure out a color scheme for him.

I think I'll call him Rocket Man.

I built a lightbox today and thought I would test it out.

C&C welcome:

One more:

amazing highlights! how did you do the cream cloth?

deadly chicken wrote:amazing highlights! how did you do the cream cloth?

Thanks!

White primer, a thin coat of bleached bone, sepia wash built up in the recessed folds of the fabric, followed by a thin coat of skull white.

very nice stuff
your painting and highlights especially are clean and simple yet effective
i look forward to more

Your army looks fantastic, it's motivated me to get back to working on my own!
It's rewarding to see the results when you finish

Thanks guys!

Great work and I like your eye for detail

Thanks Kagar!

I assembled and primed some more goons today, which makes for 3 assembled tactical squads (1.5 painted) plus one unassembled tactical close combat squad.

With the HQ squad and the teminator squad waiting (mostly unassembled) in the wings and also the 5-man vanguard veteran squad.

AND I still need to purchase, assemble and paint up a 10-man assault squad.

... Hmmm, some vehicles would be nice too ... *sigh*

No pics, but at least some progress.

Thanks to all for comments and the motivation to keep slogging onward.
