David ellis tells you all how to paint White Scar marines, and in case you doubt his painting prowess....



The Proof is in the Pudding

Awesome, thanks for posting this. I'm looking to start a White Consuls army so this will hopefully help me out a lot!

The white is nice, but they don't really pop for some reason. Maybe the secondary colours aren't deep enough? Also, mold lines, mold lines everywhere.

I agree. They're very clean, but seem chalky and flat with mould lines everywhere.

The face on that captain is excellent, though.

i think Mould Lines everywhere is a bit dramatic...

There is only a mould line on the bottom right Marines head, and thats cus the flash is on and your REALLY Close to him.

Please allow for constructive criticism. The positive aspects :
- the white is nice and bright and very even. The shadowing is clean and sharp.
- the red is nice and deep.
- the detail of the face is excellent.
- the helmet eyes and Decals are also very well done. The decals look like freehand work.
- the bases look very good.

Ok now the stuff that could use a little more attention, again this is not an attack on your talent :
- the reds, browns on the topknot and power weapon, and the bronzes of the weapon/ chests could use a little highlights to make them pop. They do feel a little bit flat.
- as much as you want to deny it, the mold lines are pretty pronounced and a detraction to all the hard work you did. I can see them on the marine heads, the left boltgun arms are visible on a number of the shots, the backpack exhaust balls, the sergeant topknot and even on the first wide angle shot which isn't so "close up" so it's not just that one shot of the head. A little extra time spent on preparation would have made a big difference.

All in all they still look great and you should be proud. Keep up the good work.
