Great job. Photos are good (are there 2 or more marines?). Skin tones are good, great to see the fluff being followed in to the paint scheme.

The raven guard looks great. I'm dreading/looking forward to doing my death company as every venture I have into doing black looks either over or under done on the highlights.

Also the deathwing termie looks awesome, very cinematic. =)

omg love all the submissions so far!
just going to drop another wip, i fixed the ponytail (it was missing) and primed the sword so they are not attached yet

Nice work Ustrello, love the skintone as well, extremely fluffy

Thanks! It always annoyed me when gw painted them a ruddy face tone and so I decided to go fluffy with them when I restarted the army

There are 5 in total, it just happened that the 5 best pictures I chose were of the same 2 or 3 models

I have finished my blood angels Predator tank. I chose to leave it without a gunner (really because I somehow lost the mini). Note the chipping, blued steel on the barrel, subtle streaking, OSL headlights, and various add-ons. This piece flew together fast, I really surprised myself. I hope you guys enjoy!

I am half considering entering in my Kaedes Nex model as I just finished him up and I like him a lot better than my tactical marines.

What say you para can I do it?

Finally started my first Space Marine / mini ever!
Made a few changes as you can probably see:



- changed one arm angle so both arms are almost stretched forward, because I wanted to have him shooting both guns forward
- changed one shoulder angle so both guns are pointing in the same direction
- changed one leg angle so he has a better leaping pose

I'm not sure yet what he's going for: either fighting his way up onto a pile of debris or leaping towards some large enemy while shooting.
I'm new at this, so any tips, ideas and suggestions are welcome!

LMK!!!!

Awesome concept! But stick a boulder under his raised leg. Or a corpse. Or a pile of skulls. Get paint on him quick so we can all enjoy the finished article!

Sings; "I got bolt pistols, falalala, yay I got bolt pistols, tralalala!"

Possibly with occasional gunfire?

Sort of space marine Morris dancing in my head

"April fools" fits the month and open to interpretation .

Hey paradigm, I was hoping to use this compilation as the last photo instead of the one I previously posted, I fat fingered it .....

Alright so I have decided to switch my entry from the 5 legion tactical marines back to something more unique and cool. So I present the Blood Crow and Moritat prime Kaedes Nex



Proof



and finished model

Just some amazing work here, too good by far. Love the dancer, though I am sure he will be awesome by the time you have finished.

Not my final pics but close, last touches to go....





Can honestly say I am really enjoying this. Thank you.

Started on Typhus...

PROGRESS!

Proof


I havent picked out a specific one, and I am not even sure I will be able to get it done, but at least gonna give it a shot during Easter

@Tittlemanscrest: What's with the Pred's right sponson? Looks like an assault cannon?

OP updated now (sorry for the laxity, been super-busy this last week or so), think I've got everything, let me know if I missed you. Fantastic work in the last couple of pages too!

Will get the next poll sorted later. A few good ideas have been suggested, got some others in mind as well.

I was so close to finishing, then I sneezed with black on my brush.

I was detailing a largely white shoulder pad.



Will probably have to spend the bulk of tonight's painting time fixing that little mishap.

Ouch, that's bad luck! Hope you can get it sorted!

Cheers, fella. Yeah, it should be fixable, if not I'll grab another pad, it'll just be time consuming to do all the layers again. Getting white to a point where it actually looks good is one of the least fun aspects of my DIY scheme.

Couldn't you undo it quickly with a dry brush and water? I'm forever making a mess like that

Wondering if I could add these three photos to my entry

Finally got back to painting my guys. I've finished basecoating them, so I'll shade them either tonight before I go to sleep or tomorrow morning before work. Here's a pic of where they're at right now:

Small update, did some basing:



Now it's prime time!

Poll is up:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/684740.page#8540067

Had the idea of basing each entry around a 40k mission title, but of course there's no need to stick to 40k minis. 2 days to vote!

^ I (currently) see no poll there.

Ah, it's early, I've only had one cup of tea this morning! Gimme a mo!

Fixed!

For fun, decided to see how far I could get in under an hour.



It has since been largely painted over and cleaned, but it was an interesting exercise.

Solid job for an hour’s work.

..Or, for a finished product even. I’ve played against armies done to a lesser tabletop standard.
