mine is black armor with grey cloth and black and white dots on the cloth. i know someone said that but its mine to

Amazing weve thought of the same scheme Zing!

well here is mine.

Oooh they look nice!

Interesting. My original army theme was red fatigues and grey armor just like that. After painting a couple of minis I decided to re-work. This involved upping the contrast (red became brown and grey became white), and flipping the color scheme.

It's interesting to see what my army WOULD have looked like if I would have stuck with my original theme.

Here's my Vogen 122nd IG (urban fatigues)

The DPM scheme looks great!

Enamel paints are the devil. Avoid them. Otherwise, I like the blue and black

Those aren't Acrylic, Metalli. Those look like Enamels.

I am building an IG army. My first 40k attempt.

WOW, this is sad. You guys using GW paint? i painted all my guys w lasguns...and none turned out this good. I have no idea how you get the faces and perfect lines inbetween things. Keep it up. -i use folk art btw-

Very small brush, very steady hand, and water the paint down some so its easier to work with.

I seem to be a little lacking in practice/steady hand since I got back into this so I have an alternative. Washes. My favorite is Payne's Gray. Do an easy two-tone on the faces to give some highlights, then do a wash. The wash brings out detail really well and is more than good enough for table top. Most of my IG were done that way, I only painted eyes onto the key minis, or ones with the most expressive faces.

Ok. ya, i usualy put water in all the paint, usualy 1 drop. and i stir it. My camera suckas and pictures turn out like blobs so i cant post anything. Stupid camera.And my hand alwayse spazes out it starts shaking sometimes. I only have 25-30 people painted. Ive been trying to come up with a color to paint my vendetta. And my 3 tanks.

Yes, except for my brown. It's based off of Koh-I-Noor's Burnt Sienna. I've recreated it using a combination of grey, GW's Dark flesh, and Folk Art's dark brown color.

Admittedly, this is the only exposure I've had to folk art, but I've noticed that it covers rather poorly. If you don't want to spring for GW paint, perhaps you'd consider Delta Ceramcote. They're also cheap, and available at craft stores, but they tend to be much smoother and require way fewer coats to get the same effect.

As for the clean lines, it's all about practice. Just keep trying hard to get it to look right with every mini, and eventually they will without effort.

Yea that's what I meant

A lot of sweet stuff in here. Here is my own. Kind of an urban/winter theme.

Demolisher and Collosuses/Basilisks


Chimeras and Sentinel. The one on the left was kind of a test to make it look more Panzer-esque without the white wash.


Plasma Vets


Regular Vets


StormTroopers

Unfortunatelyl, I don't have any good shots of my infantry up, but here is a pic of my vehicles. I use a 2-tone camo scheme that uses Tamiya Desert Yellow and Deep Green:

very nice!

mechrite red filthied up with various washes can't remember how i did the fatigues

any one have any pics of their psyckers?

I'm doing a black armor/grey fatugies scheme. I'd post pics, but I'm a noob painter and I rly only care about making them nice enough to play lol. Still, love the paint jobs here!

I went Imperial Guard - Galactic Empire colour scheme. Soldiers have white armour, black guns and no other colour. Middle officers are grey whilst the highest ranks (company commander, commisars, Inquisitors) are all black.

I'll slap up some pictures if I remember.

Sure. A detail shot, the whole squad, and one about to get capped for getting a little too in touch with the warp.

And here is a Veteran squad I just completed. By regular guard have knarloc green as the base color for their armor. These guys I went with codex gray. They are kit bashed from Cadian troops with some command squad accessories, Catachan heads, SM scout shotguns, SM meltas, and Secret Weapon Miniatures backpacks.

Well, this is some guys from my old IG army, regal blue + chaos black, a more "sneaky" night force. I did have a red LED light in my valkarie but it ran out of battery and i could not change it as it was stuckin it XD

Heres mine:


Bleached bone, gore red and some devlan mud.

Sorry for it being so big, not sure how to reduce the size :\

Wow its nice to see people posting in this thead again!Hemlighest thats a nice colour scheme youve got there!

Thanks Just a bit worried how my tanks are going to look, haven't decided if I'm going to wash them, since I heard it's hard to get it looking good when washing vehicles. Any of you used wash on yours?

I'm actually uploading some images of my army right now... I have a couple of tanks with washes... Mainly my basilisks... So give me a few and I'll toss some photos up.

I washed my valkyrie but only in the gaps in the armour plates
