love the face on that termie!

I like the termie to the right of the baldy headed one, his pose just c=screams "D'ya wanna piece of me?" Very good

I like everything except for the Libby Dread (Just has too many colors on it, I would either do all blue with red shin pads or something, or all red with blue shin pads or blue front armor panel. Also the Meph's face seems like it got too much wash, and is a bit dark. These are just me being critical, but other than that everything else is amazing! I love the assault marines!

Do you dip your marines? Do you wash them? They seem to have quite a bit of depth to them (dark recesses).

The problem with doing a blue and red combo on something boxy like a dreadnaught is that the damned thing ends up looking like optimus prime if you're not careful.

Both dip my marines and wash them, but I tend to do a half dip thinned out with turpentine or alcohol. I also tend to cheat a bit on the recesses. I don't know who easy these would be to find outside of Japan but they sell pens in 0.05 and 0.03 mm tips with either India ink or back paint inside them. I literally draw into the recesses with a pen.

Early WIP of Chapter master in terminator armor (Yes I realize he looks like a chaplain at the moment give it time) and a sanguinary priest in terminator armor.




And the Librarians (just some touchups and they'll be ready to be dipped).

Turrets for the LR

Almost finished

love the libbies, the second one has too large of a gun in my pointof view. I would try to reposition it, but maybe you are too far for that.

overall great work!

Todeswind, those look awesome! I like the contrast created with all that yellow. Are you going to apply a wash to the yellow? If so, what wash will you use?

love the yellow with the red

Finally finished the Librarians


Group shot of what's done so far

Do you have an army list for these guys? I am liking it so far. The Assault Marines look a bit darker red though, intentional?

That tank is stunning! I love those reaper pieces you put on it. Beyond awesome! Nicely done.

The assault marines ended up being darker for some reason beyond me (I think I didn't mix the dip well enough) but short of stripping them there isn't a whole lot I can do about it. I figure I'll paint the other assault squad to match it so that they look uniform.

As to the list it's no secret.

Nice plog, some cool looking conversions and kitbash going on. The landraider is really impressive, looks very ornate just as a BA LR should. I like the librarians especially.
