After nearly a month I've gotten off my lazy ass and finished 5 whole guardsmen. All that's left to do apply some brush-on varnish.



Any thoughts on how I can improve the look? Hopefully my next few models won't take so long]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/796677.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/796677.page GMT Guardsmen of Pintax, the Red Deathworld

Any thoughts? The bow needs to be positioned closer to the front of his hand and I think a grenade tipped arrow should go in his other hand (I don't have the right sized rods at the moment)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/865710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/865710.page GMT Re:Guardsmen of Pintax, the Red Deathworld http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/865869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/865869.page GMT Guardsmen of Pintax, the Red Deathworld http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/865892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/865892.page GMT Guardsmen of Pintax, the Red Deathworld

Yeah, I'm just real slow at taking photos, and I had a local RTT and my brother's 'ard Boys army to waste my time. I've completed a whole, whopping, two full infantry squads. One has black guns, the other desert yellow, which do you think look better?

Black guns:





Desert Yellow guns:





All of these are hosted on Dakka Dakka's gallery, so you can make them bigger if you want. I really need to get better at using my lightbox, a number of these photos are pretty bad.

Right now I've got most of a Leman Russ done, and a half-basecoated Platoon Command Squad. I think I'm getting a tad faster at this.

I'm not too happy with the skin. For some reason I simply can't paint white people. The basing is still really boring, too.

I still haven't chosen a name for him yet. Someone on another forms suggested Augustus Kimbo and I'm kind of partial to that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/927083.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/927083.page GMT Re:Guardsmen of Pintax, the Red Deathworld http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/927296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/927296.page GMT Guardsmen of Pintax, the Red Deathworld

Finally finished my Valk base. Now to start on the big Kahuna itself.



It's the first time I've ever really painted a Space Marine. I had some really tough time painting the Sunburst Yellow on the shoulderpad - my brother had moved it from the GW pot to a cleaned Vyzene bottle as he liked my Vallejo bottles better and I think that ruined it - the paint seemed to dry as I painted it, giving me horrible brush strokes even though it was thinned.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1245994.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1245994.page GMT Catachans on Mars

I scored this Land Raider sprue's Lascannons off ebay for like 3 bucks. Way better than paying Forgeworld 20 bucks plus shipping for the Vendetta bits.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1278375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1278375.page GMT Catachans on Mars
A WIP shot:


I could use some advice on how to improve the bit I'm using for the Wounded Warrior theme. One of the Catachan heads has a thin scar on it that usually gets ignored and filled with paint. This is the first time I've actually tried to empathize it.


I was actually really surprised when I saw this photo - the scar doesn't look purple at all, even if I'm looking at it as close as I can. What I did was mix in a little Warlock Purple in with increasing amounts of Tallarn Flesh to paint the scar. It looks like a raised ridge when you look at it on the table, which is probably the first time I've ever faked depth.

Also, I really need to get a gray backdrop for my lightbox.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1314828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1314828.page GMT Catachans on Mars http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1314850.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1314850.page GMT Catachans on Mars
I'm impressed with the level of facial detail on Scar, I have a hard time with eyes myself and it over all came out great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1314865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245593/1314865.page GMT Catachans on Mars

I finished these dudes this morning with an hour to spare. There is a contest on another website that I'm participating in and it looks like I'm getting a copy of the new Ghosts omnibus for my trouble.

Closeups:







It's been a little while since I've actually painted anything so they're a little more rough than I'd like but it's good enough for tabletop. I'm going to try to paint something on the banner once I actually figure out what should go on there. I'm also going to try and use some of the dead thrush I just got to hide the stick that's holding up the servo skull - you can kind of see where I already attempted it and fethed up.

This is a Command Squad that I completed for this month's contest. The theme was "Plan B", so I added bayonets for when the squad is inevitably engaged in melee. The Commander is based off a game at a tournament a few months ago - a fully kitted out Wolf Lord charged one of my Infantry squads and was promptly brought down before he could get a single attack in. The dude who killed him got a promotion.
