Nice!

I am subbed man! - Your highlight painting is very clean, neat, and crisp! I am impressed! You have the talent for painting miniatures that I lack. I can't wait to see more!

Thank you for the replies! I will be updating more as I paint some more. I am going to try to make the termi squad look different but have yet to figure how....... Suggestions?

To be honest, I can suggest anything, because your out of my league! Your painting is amazing!


I am going to start my own blog, so ill let you know when i do.

I posted in your blog, looks very good.

Thanks, I apreciat it. by the way, Im Subbed.

Hey,


I went to the craft store yesterday and picked up a few items.

I got some dullcoat lacquer and tried it on a model I actually don't like the way it came out as it added a texture to the armor plates and made it look not that great.



Then I went to another store and picked up some craft sand for $2.00...... not a bad deal for 2 lb!



Then I proceeded to the local hobby shop......not gaming store. Imperial Renegade found one that is near us which I very happy about. It is good to support local business.
Anyway, I bought a misc. WWII kit to decorate the bases with.




Some of them I cant use because the Dakka population will scream......"THOSE ARN'T 40K!"

To hell with them! Use it!

I agree, We should not be not modeling our minis the way we like them because we are afraid of what others will think! Take the chance! If anyone can make um look 40kish, Its you!

Does anyone know if Citadel paints cure over time? I tried to stratch one of my older models and it did not stratch. WE ARE AT 41 POSTS! Now beyond 40K!

I think it does, because when I use my blood red and Grechin Green, It does not come of as easilly as valleho paints. I think your right. My reson for painting my space wolves with citidel paints.

Vallejo are generally thinner than GW paints, it's all about how thick your paint is coated on, rather than the manufacturer. Brand Name means nothing really, all acrylics made for us hobbyists are essentially the same, only varying quantity/quality of pigments and binders. The acrylic polymer is what is left after the water evaporates. A good clear coat will seal anything in.

@Honaw: On all models that I primed with GW primer (no idea about other primers), it takes a sharp edge to scratch off paints.

Ahhh.... I am using testors model master grey primer.

I use Armory spray primer, but keep in mind, any spray paint is affected by the temperature and the amount of humidity in the air when you spray it. Even my beloved Armory primer can get thick and textur-y on humid days. My FW Marauder Destroyer was unfortunately victim to this hated phenomenon.

You bet!

I could not believe it when I took it to the counter and the guy say......"It's $13.00."

Belive what??

What I just said........ He said it was $13.00. To me it looks like it would be 5.00 IMO

O you mean the Primer.....Gotcha

holy crap! I wouldn't pay that much for primer.
I thought you meant the Verlinden stuff, $13 is cheap for that!

Yes I meant the verlinden item. not the primer.

I like Ultramarines a lot better by the way.

It lookes really good, but like you said Ultramarines are better. I would reccomend stiking to the scheme so your not painting then restripping, then painting,then restripping.....ect..... I Like it thought!

That pic really does not do it justice. But I really don't like it at all.

Well if you don't like it, then it is settled bro!

I am actually considering Crimson fists as a viable scheme to paint the rest of my Marines in.... I don't know Just like them. What do you think?

Looks good, but meh, these split scheme's never settle well with me.

Here is a WIP Chaplain. I wanted a better look then the standard look.
