Wow, looking very nice, a bit of gryphonne sepia on the edges of the shoulder guards would set them off nicely.
Black would be too stark a colour change and would really jar the senses. Gryphonne sepia would do the job nicely, not all over the pad, but just around the edges where grey meets yellow.

I wouldnt do washes on the grey armour as it would mean starting the highlights again on it.

Very crisp, very neat.... I like.

Look forward to seeing a few more

Thanks! I'll try out that sepia wash idea and see how it works.

Been working on my Rune Priest... Should have him done tomorrow.

Still need to do the shoulder pads, the runic axe, the base and the pack.. still thinking of doing a jump pack. Tried my best to represent the conjuring of living lightening (or something).

Thats a good use of thin gauge wiring, I like it. I may steal that idea.

Some quick pics of my grey hunter standard bearer.

nice, clean and crisp. I like.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Here's him finished. I may redo the banner, but it's good for now. (still need his backpack, I may put a wolf fur under it.)

Grey Hunters in progress. I hate to mass produce/assembly line like this, because I'm constantly having to go back and forth fixing little mistakes on 5 different minis at once. I'm used to doing them one at a time pretty much completed then moving on to the next, but that is taking waaay too long to do. So instead of getting maybe 2 or 3 done in a week, I'll get these 5 done.

Yeah batch work is the only way i have found to get them finished in a decent time frame. Overall everything is looking good, i like the custom work on the rune priest. Very nice looking.

Good work so far, very clean and crisp. One problem..




To me this guy looks like he is doing a poo... 'LEAVE ME ALONE! I CAN'T GO IF YOU'RE WATCHING!!'. Sorry i have a toilet humour mind...

Just about done with the Grey Hunters. (Should have them finished and posted up by this weekend) Here's the FW Meltagun.

Your paint jobs are nice and crisp. Nice Job

Just about done with the 5 Grey Hunters. Getting those FW weapons to fit was a pain. Anyway, just need to do some highlighting, the lense on the scope and the backpacks.

5 Grey Hunters finished that completes my 10 man Grey Hunter Squad.




















Now on to the 8 Jump Packs to finish the Skyclaws and the Rune Priest.

Finally finished (with the exception of adding grass and rocks to the bases) all the Skyclaws. Here's a pic of them with the wolf guard battle leader.

Awesome work man! Love the Rune Priest! Love it all!

100% Rune Priest with Jump Pack and Chooser of the Slain "Marker" aka Spirit Wolf - The Jump Pack is magnetized so I can slap a regular pack on there as well.

Where did you get the invisi-wolf from??

That's a horrorclix dire wolf. I think they label it as "experienced" not sure, I don't play the game. You can find them on eBay.

I think you should give them a whirl. Not to glaze the entire miniature, but carefully put into the recesses. Your highlighting already looks amazing, but the shadow will give it just a touch more depth. I really like the exhaust weathering, really nice.

This!

The models look great but there is not a lot of depth to the color. This would make them really pop. As it is they look a bit flat. Clean paint jobs though. Don't be afraid to ruin a mini while you try out washes and lining techniques. You can always strip it if all goes wrong.

Yeah I plan on trying it out eventually. I'm just trying to get table top so I can play. This is pretty close to how I painted them back in 1994 so I'm nostalgia'ing as well.

I really like the paintjob, but the faces look a little flat. You might want to use a light brown wash.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there 40k ninja. but then again the lighting isn't the best in the world. So maybe in person they're different. I've had lots of compliments, also I do use Vallejo Flesh Wash but I go back in and build up the highlights with glazes and things.
