This is the start to my 8 drop pod Crimson Fist Army! I hope you enjoy! I have to pin the banner onto Pedro, and I have to figure out a way to base these guys. I want to find a better picture of the Rynn World basing. If you have any ideas and tips for me, please don't hesitate!

i thought that the fist had more a purple tint to them

Hit it with the Mud, son

A nice wash would do wonders for your mini's I think. Also, try getting a bright light to hang above the mini's and not using a flash. All the detail is being washed out by your flash unfortunately.

Nice start!
I'll second the washes!

You have shown that your camera can take good enough photos (Pedro Kantor Back). But you could do better!
1)Use your own built in biological quality control!!!
There really is little point showing us the blurred pics.
They are just too hard to be constructive about!

2)Use as much natural light as possible and turn the flash off. This will stop your colours looking as washed out!

3) Try investing in a web cam tripod. They cost as little as 5 bucks. Focus then use the timer setting on your camera. Then walk away. No shake= no blur!

4)Infinity backgrounds are your friend! Use an off white back drop. Your backgrounds are cluttered and distracting.
An A3 piece of paper attatched to two sides of a box(floor and back wall) with a curve in it will make the model look like it is floating like how you see in the magazines!
I've not explained this very well have I!?!?!

This isn't suposed to sound harsh, please take it as friendly advice!!!!
Kudos for posting and keep blogging!

I plan on posting the entire army here as i get the models, and as they get finished. I will take your advice on the camera aspect of it though. I know I need to stop posting the blurry pictures. Thanks again for the Advice!
