				<title>Hoping a blog keeps me motivated. (Space Marines)</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Well a couple friends talked me into playing warhammer with them on Monday nights. I picked space marines since my friend has orks already and the space marines are the next most interesting to me. Anyways I really dont know where to start with making an army so for now I just went and bought a tactical squad, picked some colors and I'll go from there. Any advice on what I should be getting would be greatly appreciated. Cant decide if I want to go standard marines or <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(10);'>BA</span> codex yet. Anyways here are some pics (taken with a phone...sorry). I know its not no pro level stuff but im working at it. None of these are finished yet as you can tell.<br /> <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l92/McPwn4g3/IMG00054-20100502-2217.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l92/McPwn4g3/IMG00053-20100502-2216.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l92/McPwn4g3/IMG00031-20100427-1335.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l92/McPwn4g3/IMG00052-20100502-2215.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l92/McPwn4g3/IMG00058-20100503-2012.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l92/McPwn4g3/IMG00060-20100504-2312.jpg" border="0" />]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Nice contrast on the colours there mate, what colours are you using? I cannot really see from the pictures but if you haven't already, pick out the soft armour and piping with a contrasting colour. I use a metallic but any colour will do.<br /> <br /> I see you also have the Plasma weapons - totally worth it model. I had to make one they're just too funny not to.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Im using Codex grey for the armor, Ice blue for the helmets and blood red with some white mixed in for the chest. I panted the soft armor black just because I couldnt think of any other color to use. And I love the Plasma weapons. Planning on a devastator squad just so I can paint more of them.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I have a friend who paints a Grey homebrew marine army also. He primes white, then codex grey, wash with badab black or Devlan mud, then recolour the armour codex grey and then adds a highlight of fortress grey. <br /> <br /> For the aquilla ( the chest eagles) start with a darker red, like mechrite red or similar, then Baal red wash and the blood red. Adding white to red is fine but just be aware that it can give it a pinkish tint rather than a bright red.<br /> <br /> For the helmets start with a darker blue perhaps ultramarine or mordian then paint on your Ice blue, wash with Asurman and then re-highlight with the Ice blue.<br /> <br /> Each layer of paint should leave a little showing at the edges, this way the colour will gradually change. As a result your mini will  have more depth in its colours.<br /> <br /> A few last points, when you  wash a mini be careful not to apply to much of the wash. The result otherwise is a dirty watermarked staining which doesn't generally look altogether very realistic. <br /> <br /> Finally, most importantly, remember this is advice not law. I didn't pay for the models and neither did anyone else on here so remember its what you feel works best for you that counts. So good luck sorry to ramble a bit there and look forward to some updates on those <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(29);'>devs</span>.<br /> ]]></description>
