Hey guys, thought I'd slap up my colour test model for my Heresy Era army here for some CnC.
Please note that this is just a 2-hour speedpaint to test the hues so the detail is a bit unsharp and details such as lenses, metallics and the black has a very limited highlight.
Also the model is intentionally lacking the green Legion symbol, squad and trooptype markings etc. for the sole reason that my green basecolour mix has run out and needs restocking.

Have at it people.

He looks great. Are the scratches in the armour actually cut into it, or did you just paint them well enough to fool people? Either way, great work.

The cuts and scratches are painted.

Really nice clean job and the fact that the scratches are painted is mad! You sir have skillz

Very good paint job, Had to do back and look, I thought the scratches were modeling not painting, very good. Keep it up.

Awesome looking !

If that's just a speedpaint I really want to see one that you spend more time on Good stuff!

Wow, really good work, I initially thought that they were cut directly in the model.

I do really like it, I would like to see it finished once the green adds and the minus highlights will be done.

The scratches are very well executed, especially if this is "just a 2h of painting" model.

I just find some of them too much X shaped, try to give them a more unidirectional sense. Even if not particularly realistic, you may say, because representative of a unique damage, try to avoid the repetition of the X pattern.

Just my 2 cents obviously.

Reakky loving the scratches i thought they were cut in at first but they look really good

Thank's guys, glad you liked it. I had a little spare time so I tested out some freehand on him.

What do you think?

Is this a FW model?

The freehand logos look great! And really help break up all that blue. MUCH better with them added so I hope you stocked up on your green
