Here are some shots of my Deathwing army that I am working on. I am done with the white part of the armor (unless anyone has some good critiques or ideas) and wanted some feedback on it.

very very nice shading of the bone!! I would suggest finishing the helmet eyes and scanner and such with green or red lenses- but i love the shading of the bone white!! great base to work from! The thunderhammer looks well used too- I prefer to use a contrast color to accent the grip - like red gore or something similar

Do I see white primer with a Gryphonne Sepia wash? Or is that painted on?

Regardless, very nice so far.

fantasic!!!!

Looking really good so far, care to share your color recipe?

they are fantastic. good job with the bone colour.

Keep the color, but get a weathering powder that looks like bone dust. and dust the model.

Makeup foundation actually works pretty well.

To give it a little more contrast, i would recomend a very thin wash of dark brown/black lightly applied into the receses and some of the detail edges. Purhaps also a very carful highlight with 50/50 bone/white. Green glowing lenses are always a winner IMHO.

Looking forward to seeing the progress.

Yeah, glowing green eyes...or even red considering the lightness of the paint job... would make it pop. Don't forget the lenses of the targetting array too.
Not to keen on the hammer...black with boltgun drybrush??? It detracts from the excellent bone-wash you've already done.
Maybe just a very fine highlite of skull white along the sharp edges of the armor.

Thanks for all the feedback. Here is the recipe for the armour -

Sprayed white, did a light wash with sepia from an airbrush, and then built it up with very light coats of Dheneb Stone, Bleached Bone, and Skull White. I used the large GW dry brush for these layers. I used an almost powder consistency of paint on them.

I am still working on the hammers. I am planning on building up from boltgun to mithril and then washing it blue to see what it looks like. I am not sold on the handle, but I can't decide what color to paint it - maybe a really dark red or a nice flat dark grey.

For the eyes I am a bit torn. I am trying to decide between blue or red. I am kind of leaning towards starting at ultramarine and working up to ice blue and doing a bit of a lighting effect - not sure on this one yet.

You've already got some cooler grays with the icons contrasting the warmer bone armor, so glowing blue eyes and a blue-tinted metallic hammer might enhance that contrast.

Excellent shading on the armour.
