Finished off 2 models. These two go to a WG w/5 GH in a twin-Assault cannon razorback with plasma weapons as an anti infantry squad.

I have a small piece of advice for you and only use it if you're interested. While it is obvious you've drybrushed these, there is a way to make it less obvious. Grab a pot of badab black wash and mix it in a ratio of 2:1 and wash the armor and weapons. It'll smooth out some of the chalkiness.

I think they look great. If they are chalky it only ad to a worn and realistic feel. However, I would like to see some more colour on details like boltguns and the hammer (cables, handle etc). On the other hand the omnious light grey make the fox fur into a nice stylish effect (but frankly, even if it looks nice, it looks more lazy; just to make the bolters black or metal would have made a difference, IMO).

Some people like it chalky, but i agree with the badab black suggestion.

When you've tried it you'll want to use it on absolutely everything, that is virtually guaranteed.

Not bad, I would say that the combi-Plasma looks a little awkward, I like them much more when they're underslung.

The way i paint them is that I start with a black base coat, then I dry brush all the parts that that are metal with chainmail, then I do a codex gray base, followed by a dry brush of fortress gray, then a highlight dry brushing of skull white. Once all that's done I then do all the gold followed by a Delven mud wash over the entire model. when that dries I then go back over with a light dry brush of skull white to bring back the highlights.

I like the more natural look of a of drybrushing give to make the gear look worn. Though turning off the flash on my camera probably would have helped to. When I posted the pictures I though that the TH could probably use some more color.
