Finished the chaplain. Went really fast.

I like!

Stoneless, try putting a sheet of white paper behind the models and set your camera to the macro (the icon is a flower) setting for better results. That will help prevent things like the camera focusing on the cars in the background instead of your models. As interested as I am in your sidewalk, the chaplain interests me more!

I agree with the earlier posters that washes will do wonders for your Fists and adding some highlights really make them pop. My own Fists army uses very intense edge highlighting against a darker base color, but that's the style I like.

You might want to try using Asurmen Blue or even Badab Black to wash the blue armor down, following it up with Enchanted Blue to highlight. I'd touch up the red with some Blazing Orange, too. I've washed my red hands with Badab Black or Ogryn Flesh, depending on how dark I want the creases and lining to be. YMMV

Thanks for the tip on my camera. I like using regal blue and enchanted blue like 1-2 more enchanted than regal. Still have mastered doing the high lights yet.

Hi Stoneless,

looking forward to your next pics. So far, the colour scheme looks good, I can just follow the other posters in their tips.
For my Night Lords, I use Necron Abyss as the base colour with a pretty heavy drybrushing of Enchanted Blue to lighten up the colour and get some highlighting on the edges at the same time.

Keep up the work and updates - this makes your blog very enjoyable

Once again - echoing Gits and everyone else - the camera will be what lets you down in the end. The fact you're making progress is good though and I say keep it up.

It seems like the Chaplain doesn't have a backpack!

Nice progress in here, you should really consider drilling out the barrels (as has been said before).

Keep on updating!

Yeah i need the a back pack on my sternguard and chaplain. Got two more done last night when i couldn't sleep. I think the macro setting helped a little on that picture.

Slightly better pic of the chaplain and i am going to do the back pack today.

Just for the heck of it, I took your images (which aren't too bad) and increased the pixels by a lot... then enlarged them. Not perfect, but it might give people something to sink their teeth into.

Chaplain looks pretty darn good.

New project thinking of painting the cloak red.

I think the red cloak would work well, my friend.

Maybe freehand the Cortez Crest on the back of the cape?

While i like that idea was just thinking of the fist in blue for contrast. And that seems out of my ability right now.

Progress. Since i realized 1 Sargent and 2 marines smore done means I need a rhino painted. Vehicles like that are not my forte.

More Progress. The red is awesome.

The highlights are really nice if you ask me.

How are you doing that??? Making multiple posts back-to-back? That's not supposed to be possible...

Finished the captain. No light out though. So no picture till tomorrow. And it is the pictures I believe that allows me to post back to back like that.

PICTURES!!! My dads girlfriend suggested using the fluorescent light in the kitchen.

Diggin' the cape!

Here is an army shot. Not much of one right now.

where did you get that limmeted edition oop diet sierra mist???????? i need one of them!

Sargent is done. This other picture is what a bunch looked like before i painted them,

Coming along nicely Stoneless...

Progress is good mate. Gits, the closeups help! Cheers for that.

Cheers DSS! If I get a chance I'll do the captain later.

Back pack is done for the chaplain.

Only one more marine left till i need a transport.

Last marine for my tac squad.

Next project.
