Recommended Posts

So heres a few pics of the beginnings of my DA army. Im still not sure which route to go down with them yet but i'll just keep buying stuff and see where i end up.

 

Theres nothing at all special about these guys but there here in the first stages of painting and ive had to stop due to a lack of supplies. Im waiting on the post.

 

So anyway here they are.

Started on some GS bits, this is the first time ive ever used GS so apolagies if im making any school boy errors (please do let me know).

These legs are going to either be for my Belial or a hammer & Shield guy im undecided as yet.

You can see my librarian in the background aswell, he just came thismorning. Awesome looking mini i must say.

 

More going on the Tactical guys today, they are about 40% done, then probably do a few more terminators thisevening.

Got a SM commander and a pretty cool looking librarian on route which i plan on using to build my own Eziekiel.

 

C&C welcome as always.

 

Thanks

i like the termys, the GS is looking ok so far, room for improvement but we shall see what happens, as for advise, the armpit area, cut it with the back of a hobby knife downwards about 4 or 5 times to get the soft armour, id love to give you more advise but my GS is below par, i just fil gaps and stuff :down:

 

i love the paint job of the DA, you paint that green very well.

 

keep up the great work

Ok so after a rethink on the robes/tabbards (thanks for pushing me in teh right direction sword brethren ) i decided to re-do most of the GS work on the termies.

 

This is how they look now, they will be primed and started tomorrow providing im still happy with them :) .

Im not 100% happy with his right knee area but i cant seem to get it any smoother without making the proportions all wrong?

I may also go back and modify the left shoulder pad some more looking at it, maybe, maybe not.

 

Librarian is finished barring some detail on the base (anyone got any sculls, ork/tyranid heads lying about?)

 

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/P1180040.jpg

 

Loads done on the tac squad, 2 finished, 8 to go.

Good start on the vets aswell whilst i had the green paint out!

I would really appreciate some feedback on everything guys!! especially the GS!! im totally new to GS and ive not painted anything in 7 years (the librarian was the first model ive painted since 2002 actually) so feedback is super important to me. (plus it motivates me which can only be good right?)

 

Oh also apolagies for the below par pics i had to revert to an older camera.

Hi Al

The only thing I find is if you mix GS with more blue it drys harder and its easier to file. If you dont get it perfectly smooth some really fine wet and dry will sort it out

 

Can I ask where the head of Belial came from?

More blue eh, ill try that. I was trying to work out which was teh hardner last night actually. Thanks

 

As for teh head, it came out of the terminator box i think? possibly the DA Upgrades?

Im not 100% as there all in my bits box, sorry.

Thanks Lysander the eyes are an area i find particularly annoying. Its good to know they look half decent.

 

Im toying with the idea of a 'cape' for him but i dont really want to hide the back of the model so im still undecided.

 

Also just so everyoen knows what happened to the 'skiff', a friend of mine stole it to make into an objective. but he gave me loads of bits in return so its a win win.

Any ideas what colour i should paint the robes on the terminators? As you can see i was going with a dark crimson colour, but i really dont think its working.

Hey AL; liking your work so far + painting is looking good. I would go for green for the cloaks. This might seem a bit dull but if you use the same colour as your tac squads it will tie them altogether as an army. If you throw red into the mix it might start to look a bit too colourful... imho.

Im on a bit of a mission the last few days, got quite a bit done.

 

Belial;

http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k168/corsa_al/Photo0223.jpg

 

Things im not 100% happy with;

-Green pads could be better

-Not sure on changing the purity seal wax to a purple as there may be too much red?

- Didnt quite get teh effect i wanted on the hair

- Right thigh should possibly have been re-sculpted.

 

Things I think worked well;

- Bone LC's

- Black Armour

- GS Hair

- Enlarged shoulder pad

- Pose

 

All in all im happy with him and he looks great next to the bone coloured DW termies.

 

 

Changed the DW termies robes to Green (thanks to Tommy for that) Im happy that its a better look than the red.

Also aquired this,

Which was stripped, fixed and now currently looks like this;

Lysander i am going to try a wash over the bone colour as currently it seems to have very little depth. Thanks.

 

C&C please.
