Thought I'd share these here too. The death company are now more or less done, just the foliage to add to the bases and varnishing to go. I'll probably do that in a batch with another squad...

Those are some of the best DC I have seen. I am curious how did you get that black? it looks like it isn't just black. I am painting mine at the moment and I just can't seem to get the black right... What color did you highlight them with as well? sorry for the questions I would totally love to copy your work

**winterdyne**

In short:

Vallejo Black primer (airbrushed)
VMC Black Grey rough highlights (VERY rough / messy)
GW Codex Grey edge highlights (Not too neat)
Glaze back the Codex Grey to Black Grey (use Black Grey)
Glaze back the Black Grey to Black (VMC Black)

I didn't use a glaze medium (just a wet pallette), but using one would probably help (but would have slowed me down, this is TT work, not GD. :-) )

Intermediate mixes where needed to smooth it out. It's a rough-up, smooth-down technique. This works with most colours where the darker tint has better coverage.

The writing on the shoulder pad banners is amazing, I can write on them, but not like that, thats insane

**winterdyne**

Finished the basing off on these today, added blue glow to the jump packs by client request.

**Mad4Minis**

If ever Im wealthy enough Id love to have someone of your skill level do a set of Harlequins for me.

**Skogkat**

Mind if I ask how you did the blue glow? (technique and colors) I've been trying to decide how to finish out my jump packs, and I really like what you've done here.

**infinite_six**

Wow... just wow... these are amazing! I love the blue of the jumppacks, great contrast to the black and red of the rest of the model. Do you give lessons?

**winterdyne**

The blue is plain ol' Ultramarine blue highlighted with Ice blue and then white, with a couple of intermediate mixes of those on the way.

**Skippy**

Gorgeous, I love your bone and white cloth.

**Brazila**

Amazing models, this is the kind of work that inspired me to play this game! Great job man.

**Snrub**

Wicked painting skills man. Love the blue glow you gave the jump packs, and the bases kick arse. Great job.

**Wulfe Luer**

There's a grittiness here that you don't see on tables (especially with marines). If this is TT, don't expose me to more, I'll hide in a corner and lament my unworthiness to play neat them.

**Fire_for_effect**

Holy hand grenade, those are amazing! My Lemartes didn't turn out anywhere as good as yours. Very nice job indeed!

**Kevv6**

Very nice painting, I like the 'glow' on the jump packs nice work

**Norn King**

Can i have them? =)

**winterdyne**

You could have something very similar... for a similar price.

**kingjayko**

awesome! I really love them!

**Xenocidal Maniac**

These are really nice. Very smooth. Great job.

**thechosen1**

The dynamic posing is awesome!

Beautiful models as ever Winterdyne, they look really battle-worn and gritty, yet so clean at the same time; really like how I'd imagine Space Marines to look. Excellent work man.

My only criticism is I actually think the bases looked better without the additional foliage; just made it seem darker/grim/deathly to me...
