One Canoptek Scarab in a Swarm
|
I'm a noob so be nice lol. This is my first go ever at painting miniatures (and posting on here!). It's a battleforce plus annilhation barge and overlord. I'm hoping it'll be a good 750ish point army. Comments and suggestions welcome

That's a nice, stark green against the black. Great work. What did you use for the vegetation?

Thank you! I used Battlefields Summer Undergrowth from thearmypainter.com. Luckily they were at my local hobby shop and only about $4 for a box that i haven't even put a dent into yet because it was so jammed full!

For a first time army, it looks good

I would sign this contract but I already ate the potato

Those green highlights look amazing on the ghost ark!

1. Go to FLGS on a 40K game night.
2. Announce to no one in particular "I have over 10,000 points of Space Marines".
3. Sit back and watch as some 30-ish Neckbeard who still lives with his parents not only disputes your claim, but goes on to describe his 30,000 points of Blood Angels and how he has been playing since Rogue Trader days... And yet you will have never seen him either play 40K or that army.
4. From here, you have several options. Continue the conversation, or just end it. Either way, I guarantee you will waste 1+ hour of your life talking to this guy. Have fun!

Thanks guys
I know it isn't professional looking but i appreciate the kind words. The green highlight effect was surprisingly simple with an off brand color scheme. Feel free to PM me for the info on how to obtain the colors!

I would suggest maybe highlighting some black with a dark grey and maybe adding a few highlights to the black to give it some depth, otherwise good work!
