I did say it in a nicer way and then the response was "what pits". Look you can't read a post and go to the conclusion that someone is being mean. My writting style does not go well on the internet. You do not see the tone or get a feel for the way I say things.

I also think you should put some flocking on your bases. They look pretty bland to me. Something should make your models pop. Bases help do that. Right now your bases just look like you threw green stuff down on them and spread it around. Adding some small rocks on parts and grass on other parts might break up the fact that your bases blend in with your models.

Your snipers need to blend into the surroundings. Also what planet or buildings do your dark camo guys fight in? If they are a night attack force then the camo has way to light of grey in them.

I've also noticed that you have part of the sprue left on one of the plasma pistols. This should be taken care off before you glue the models together. My buddy gets on me for doing the same thing. If you do not get the extra pieced off you'll end up forgetting that they are there and have to fix it after you end up painting the model.

As for the pitting on your models. Like I said. Keep a good distance away (about 12-16 inches) and keep the coats light. This way you get a nice light primer that doesn't change the way the model looks. ie gets into places that should have depth, like the lines on the space marines legs.

You should also practice dry brushing if you are not able to shade your colors. What I mean by shading your colors is going from a blue to a dark blue. For you it be a dark grey to a black. Then when you bring in white it should go from a white to a light grey. If you do not want to spend the time doing all this shading then you have dry brushing that will help you with this.

Fair enough mate i thank you then for your tips and criticism

I just lavished myself buy splashing out on 5 MK8 chest plates some heresy shoulder pads and some inquitor shoulder pads ( the commander sprue ones ) and i have a whole heap of CC weapons. gonna make a 5 man vanguard squad without jump packs. because my chapter operates in and arounf the eye they have very close links with the inquisition, seconding some of there vetrans for other duties. when they return to the chapter they are warriors without peer and exel in close combat and smiting chaos filth. o i forgot to add i have a whole heap of crusader and maximus helmets for these guys too. stay tuned

3 of my termies

i like the precise check patern But i seems your using a little bit to thick layers of paint ... Also im pretty sure that the "robe" the termanator sergeant has would look cooler if you painted it with Scab red , give it a wash og devlan mud and then highlight with blood red !

Gretar

cool, simple but cool.

hey yeah AOBR are pretty simple not much to do with them

Nice collection of models, especially like the scout camocloaks. They look great.

Over and out Avach

I really like your scheme

Here are a few more. The one of my Chaplin did not come out well I took it with my Iphone (Too close I think.)

last 1 looks great other 2 are a bit blurry. I think you need to clean around the eyes in pic 2

WOW im ut to shame by that chaplain looks bad ass land raider looks sweet. im gonna paint up my predator now then start on my 2 X devestator squads. keep posting your pics bro

And i must say looking over my scout cloaks im quite pleased with my self aswell

BEST DEV. SQUAD EVER, 4X PLASMA CANNONS!!!!

that is pretty bad ass

meh not really. lost alot of power in the 5th ed with the forgiving cover saves. I'd leave the devs at home if i were you. they aren't the best unit as for an 190 point unit they can be out-ranged, out-combated and just generally shot. I would take a vindi or pred instead. 1 quick question. on your pred have you done las sponsons and twinlinked las as I would not advise it. take 1 melta shot or a well placed lascannon shot and BOOOOM! 165 points down the drain. sorry if im a bit weird. I just made and re-read some tactics for SM's. (correct me if im wrong)

My pred has las sponsons and autocannon turret
. playing first game against eldar tomorrow will let you know how it pans out

Finished products now just need to base.

Hmmm.... something's missing ... try giving the models a wash or two of badab black , the detail is gone ...
