I'm new to this forum so please be gentle if not everything is as it should be at the start.

I am more of a modeller then a gamer so my focus for this army is to have good looking Miniatures rather than competitive forces..

started this sometime last your in a modelling forum (britmodeller) but decided that that's not the right audience.

I started it all with a squad of terminators:

followed by the termie captain from the start collecting box:

after that I did a squad of vanguard veterans, the old pewter ones:


next project was guilliman:

and then another squad of vanguard veterans, this time the plastic ones:


then the chaptermaster Marneus:

I wish I was able to get the older calgar, the one in termie armour but I couldn't find a not started one at a reasonable price so this one it is.
I also started two squads of sternguard veterans (one pewter one plastic):


and after someone on the other forum said that I cannot have 3 heavy weapons in one terminator squad I made it 3.



that brings me to the point where I am at the moment... If anyone is interrested in reading the WIP to all of this it can be found here:

thanks for looking and all C&C is highly appreciated!

Cheers

Not much progress to show as I am curently moving my workbench from one room to another (more hobby space! Yeay!)
but before that I managed to complete one of the sternguard veteran sergeants:












Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoy painting those...

I would suggest for your whites you apply either a light brown (for a more "warm" look, leaning toward a "cream", I would suggest this) or a grey (a more cool look, I tend to use that for more modern or new looking things) before the high end titanium white: it is too easy for it to look uneven or "chalky".
It will also act as a border between the neighboring colours and the white.

I think you did a great job centering your drilling of the gun barrels.

Very good to see the lines on the purity seal parchment, maybe squiggle them a tiny bit more or add the occasional break with each of those lines to better look like text?

Maybe a tiny bit more brown shade paint on that gold to define the details a wee bit more?

Flesh tones could use a bit of shade as well since they are very smooth and uniform which is what you want as an initial coat.

You have really good instincts on where to edge highlight, try to keep the "light-source" consistent with your lens white dot with the direction of the strongest edge highlights.

I have been trying to perfect hazard stripes, the one on the terminator is nice and sharp, I would suggest just like how you added the brighter yellow as a border highlight, you add a very dark grey on the black in the same way... it will look awesome.

Both tabbards and the helmet "frill" (Crista) Could stand a wash or shade applied, to smooth out the colour transitions on the cloth and to fill any bright white that snuck into the cracks and crevices within the strands.

The work you do on your bases look very well done and your painting is very accurate, that is 90% of the work of painting well.

This is pretty much a list of everything that jumped out at me looking at the pictures.

It all comes down to when you say "good enough".

Well done! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785119/10708816.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785119/10708816.page GMT Wow, many thanks for this detailed constructive criticism! I will keep that in mind when I do the next one and maybe I'll go over the white parts once again as they do not look as good as I wish...

anyway, after having to pack and unpack everything and setting up the new workbench I started with something I call ambitious... A challenging task so to say.
it involves all of the below:


Yeah I want to do a command squad for my first company!
But as even the chaplain and the librarian of 1st Company are wearing terminator armor it seens a bit weird to have the comand squad walk around in normal power armor...
If I read the codex correctly only the ancient has the official opion to wear terminator armor but anyway I want to have the whole group looking good together.
I don't think I'll ever compete in tournaments so I can easily say it counts as normal comand squad and just looks different...
Alright, enough talking!
Here are my humble first attempts at sculpting with green stuff...
not great but also not completely terrible







So these are the beginnings of my terminator apothecary!

Cheers

Build a librarian for my Ultras out of the box, needs paint. An ancient is on my to-build list from the box, looking forward to seeing how you do yours.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785119/10717278.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785119/10717278.page GMT
