Really like the way they are turning out. What color do you use for your silver and flesh tones?

For the metal, I drybrush with Tinny Tin from Vallejo (Tin Bitz if you're using GW), then I drybrush lightly over it with Gunmetal Metal (same as Boltgun Metal). Gives a nice contrast and makes the metal not look as flat.
For the flesh I use Sombre Grey (same as Shadow Grey from GW) as basecoat, then a 1:1 mix of thinned flow aid (mixed 20 parts water, 1 part flow aid) and Wolf Grey (Space Wolves Grey from GW) for a smooth consistency. After that, I mix in Bone White (so the mix is 1:1:1, if you may) for rough highlights and at last add another 1 part Bone White to the mix (so it's 1:1:2) for tiny highlights. Can barely see them on the pics, but they're there. Hope that helps some.

Took a break from the battleforce and started working on a model I've left unpainted for 3 years:

I really love this army, its a nice scheme and done in a great way with lots of attention to detail.

You Sir are awesome. I have seen your thread before but never left a comment. But I saw it again now and had a gander. You army is really coming along and looks great. The contrast of the colour scheme makes you models pop and really catch your eye. You should grab yourself a Terminator Chaos Lord and paint him up, would love to see that (P.S. if you do, do put the cape on then paint him. Makes it hell.)

Thanks for looking! I do have a Terminator Lord, although heavily converted:

But the plastic model does look quite fun to paint so I might get it anyway.

Aww man.... These make my Chaos Marines look like gak.

Still happy with mine though, this kinda makes me want to paint XD

Thanks for looking!
Just finished the Obliterator:


...and went right to painting Kharn afterwards!

Kharn looks great, the oblit looks good but im not digging the blue flesh.

Links are currently broken.

Pics aren't great, but too lazy to make better ones.

Lovin the fire effect.

Can only hope my Possessed turn out half decent when I get around to them. Working on Chaos Bikers atm

Thanks. Got any pictures of your bikers?

Currently not. Even then I can't get any since my lil sister has went to Paris with the camera.

You have a great eye for colour, sir. I absolutely love the green and orange.

Why, thank you Sir! Looking forward to see your CSM work.

Been awhile, but here's a small update:

And another possessed update:

i like to see some color in chaos forces!
i think it makes them stand out and i really like the colors you picked

Not really crazy about the yellow, the white looks pretty good.

I have found myself converting the possessed squad i have into Havocs. I have three with missile launchers just need to figure out what to use for an AC.

I love the color choices. The obliterator looks awesome.

After a long hiatus, I finally finished most of my possessed and also got one of those Dark Vengeance starter packs. Here's the result so far:

Finished the Helbrute today:

I bet it looks really nice in person. The eyes turned out good.
I will be starting mine soon as I just ordered the DV set and the new raptors.

Hey DH! Been awhile. The picture is a bit fuzzy, granted. Looking forward to see your work on the new raptors.

These are looking beautiful, Skool (especially the possessed), the color you used for the armor is beautiful.

I really can't wait to see what you do with a Helldrake and/or one of the fiend models

Haha, thanks a bunch. I do have a Heldrake and a Forgefiend ordered, but the shipment to my local hobby store was lost in transit so I won't get my hands on them until next week. Argh! >.<
