Couple more pics. Nothing to extravagant. I am realizing how bland these are going to look, going through a internal struggle about it. They are visual unappealing and lack color, but in a sense they are actually perfect because they are meant to be real world and wear urban camo to blend into their enviroment. I think they pull that off well. Let me know what you think.

I think that it could use a black wash. Otherwise I think everything looks great.

Yeah that is just the base coat. The next stage would be cleanup, then a black wash and then highlights.

Have you considered painting the wall in a red brick colour? Could lift the whole thing well and provide a contrast. Remember- not everything in a city is grey.

I have never seen the elysians up close I have to say I like their models. They remind me of SWAT.

Received my shields today and here are some examples of what I am going to do with them. First off are 3 Cadians with suppression shields. I am going to have 3 in a vet squad to represent carapace armor. They still need FW shotgun bits from the Cadian Vet squad, which will be placed in side the shield for easy access. The squad will be 1 Sgt, 3 Shield guys, 3 FW shotgun guys and 3 FW meltagun guys.





Next is a Raven Guard guy for the marine division of my ISOAR (Imperial Strike Operatives Airborne Regiment (Elysian/Cadian/Raven Guard)). He is equiped with a power maul and suppression shield (thunder hammer and storm shield). He is just missing the jump pack, which is in the mail, with enough bits to make second guy. The Raven Guard are taking a big back seat for now, to wait and see what FW comes out with for them with IA8.







What do you think?

i like them alot! where were the shields from?

and i think they dont look bland?! they look like theyre blended in

Very very cool. Getting me thinking about doing my own IG someday.

Thanks so much Ghosty, they sure hope they are blending in! The shields are from the plastic Junker sprue from Void 1.1 line. http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_64&products_id=432
