This is a great thread. Your ultramarines look great, and feel slightly nostalgic too.

The paint-job on the Imperial Fist Vindicator is top notch. Great stuff.

The imperial guard commander with the red coat is great. The color choices are outstanding.

Fantastic work!

I think the Grey highlights should be a little finer. Other than that they look great. The tank (and valk) look especially nice!

I have been lucky enough to play with and against Sicarious85 and can honestly say that his models are BRILLIANT at playing distances.

Because I have played at many tournaments, I have seen a LOT of really good painting "in the flesh". Some models that look incredible when held up in the hand, end up losing something visually when at gaming distance.

Having said all that, they do look really very good "in the hand".

Would I be able to ask the colour scheme you used to get the yellow? I love the vindicator. Want mine to look that gnarley =D

so, it start off with:

skull white spray
sunburst yellow
wash of gryphonne sepia
dry brush of bleached bone
speckling of scorched brown, bestial brown and chaos black
successive washes of gyphonne sepia and devlan mud around the bottom of the mini
applied washes into the creases and joins starting with gryphonne sepia, ogryn flesh and devlan mud waiting till each layer is dry
finally a light drybrush of bleached bone to bring the highlights back out again.

Hope that helps =)

Here's a few bit and pieces that I've been working on lately..

I like everything bar Calgar. He's not doing it for me. I think it's the armour tone and the gold. It's just not quite fitting. You'd need either a brighter gold or a darker blue (armour) for it to look right...

I've been quite busy lately.. I'm going to post up some new stuff fairly soon.

Www.battlepaintstudio.com I made a small blog, havent really taken it that far yet but hoping to put up some more professional photos soon!

Got a new look to my Blog and I've also started a new thread in here with some new stuff.

Here's a spoiler =)
