So hot off the heels of my Crimson Fist sternguard squad I decided to go in the opposite direction: scouts! I've always wanted a unit of shotgun scouts in my army, and I just got a few in a trade on Dakka, so I figured it was high time to paint them! Unfortunately, I only have nine, but here goes:

My lens technique is super duper simple - just a base color, a lighter shade in the lower corner, and a white dot in the upper opposite corner. When I do commissions, my clients love it

It's an IG command squad power fist I should have taken more angles before tearing everything down, but here's another shot of it:

Where did you get the beardy head for the Sergeant? By the way, you did an awesome job with it.

It's from the Space Wolf set - it comes with a bunch of scout heads including a few bitchin' mohawked ones! Unfortunately I can't remember where I put mine.

Your Scouts look great! I really like that you went with Shotguns, too. I've followed your work since I first got to Dakka (love your Iron Warriors) and have always liked what I see, even if I don't always say "hi" when I stop by.

Wow.

It all makes sense now. I've seen this so many times so many different ways, and you explained it in a single sentence. I know how to do this now. CAN I do it is still a question, but I know how, so it's really up to me practicing the technique.

This is one of those moments for me. I'm going to go try this a bit.

Thanks, I'm honored to have a fan

The lens technique can be made more intense by doing a middle shade between the two - so while I used Snot Green for the lens and Scorpion Green for that little highlight, I would then put a thin stripe of Goblin Green between the two in another stripe. Also, I could put a darker area around the white dot, probably using Dark Angels Green.

Thanks for the kind words everyone else!

Looks great, dude! I love seeing unusual squads, and these guys more than fill the bill. Looks like that sergeant might need an extra big trigger guard to get the power finger in there. (No pun intended)

I like to imagine he shoots it like this:


But unfortunately it's pump action so I'm guessing he either pumps it with his powerfist hand or he does the pump action with his armpit. In other words, Rule of Cool applies

Brother, these look great! I just finished my squad of CF scouts last week and wish they look as nice as yours. I did all my lenses as well - same technique for the most part and same colors!

What harm can it do to find out? It's a question that left bruises down the centuries, even more than "It can't hurt if I only take one" and "It's all right if you only do it standing up." Terry Pratchett, Making Money
