Here's the final version after a few tweeks

thanks for the close up of the sword and the explanation. That is a very cool way of doing it. I would have never thought of that.

In regards to the final version above, his ... you know i never know quite what to call it, but the red flappy stappy bits acting as a loin cloth dress ... look a little flat. It could just be the photo though. I hate painting them, for some reason the highlighting never comes out right.

But the detail on the cloak is brilliant and the writing on the purity seals is very clean and smooth

Thanks for the feedback M0rdain, been working on my Tau Crisis suit and finished off the Stealth Suits too, will post some more pics soon.

Here's another quick update of my
finished Stealth Suits and w.i.p Crisis Suit

Here's a bit more work done on the crisis battlesuit

I'm really liking your Ultramarines.
Your Sicarius mini is a great use of bits and he looks great!
your tau are really nice too.

Subbed!

Thanks for the feedback, have some termies coming up aswell as Calgar and his honour guard. More pics to follow.

Such crisp colors! I admire your skills, good sir.

He looks like if i licked him he would taste of spearmint lol

Spearmint with a sligh blackcurant hint

Here's a few finished pics of the battlesuit, no sun and lots of rain this morning = dark pics, sorry. But here they are none the less

Hees looking good, and a little less minty

Have finally got my camera fixed so hopefully will be able to get some better quality pics up tommorow at some point. Have been working on my assualt terminators and will get a pic posted up of them a.s.a.p

Also a general question for everyone, as I will be starting my 2nd company soon I was wondering what sort of ideas you think would be best suited for the bases? I was thinking sand and small slate mixed together and then a black wash with grey highlights. Any other ideas much appreciated?

Thanks,

Rich

Looking good! I really saw your skills improve as I read the blog! Nice!

Here's an update on my Terminator Sargeant, hope to have him finished tommorow

And here's the Battlesuit

Here's the Sargeant finished but not based yet. Will get a better pic soon

He is looking good. the white looks very clean.

Think he looks a little less shiny here

Here some work on the next terminator

Just had a quick question aswell, is there a wash that would't look too bad over white? Maybe a watered down devlan mud?

Thanks,

Rich

Hey RiChYc,
I've come to check out your blog! Love the smerfs man really good paint job! I like the converted sicurs yet, mu only critsium would be to have mark IV armour parts (I believe or mark V) around the leg/torso area. The termines are looking good! I can’t wait for clager to be finished too! The use of DA vets is suburb I'm thinking of using that idea too! Love your stuff, hey how about you check out my blog too? (Link is in signature).The tau are cool too like the kroot coulor sechem.

Thanks for the feedback and comments HAZZER, I'm looking forward to painting him up too, been waiting to her these termies done before starting on him. I was thinking of Sicarius as post Damnos campaign so in new armour till the artificers fix his old stuff up Look forward to checking out your blog too.

RiChYC

Thanks man! For the wash I'd use either delvan mud or organ flesh? (Tbh I would bother washing white because it can go quite messy).If your just wanting to do the resses do babbad black in the ressesses then go over the white again. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the feedback, will try that out and let you know how it goes. Pics incoming tommorrow -------> Boom!

Rich

Arrrrrrrgh! (Reciving the hit)

Just a bit more work on terminator and also stripped and primed some of my old metal scouts.

Just had a question for those of you who may know as I don't have any new scouts, are the guns the metal models carry the same as the new plastic ones?

Thanks,

Rich

Erm they kina look the same, apart from the nobbly part on the end of em!

Thanks for that HAZZER, got another termie done, sorry about poc its a bit blurry.
