Out of curiousity, are your Ultras a little lighter blue than is standard, or is it just the picture? Alternatively, do you intend to darken them?

 

It may be the pic, as i now use ultramarines blue, whereas i used to use enchanted blue which was waaaay too light.. i do use midnight blue as shading that tends to darken the recesses more.

 

Thanks for all the comments and encouragement, i have done the basecoat on all bar two marines and have started to basecoat the rhino (i brought a tank brush today).

more WIP pics over the weekend

 

thanks guys

Great start. I really like the combination of the white chest eagles on blue armour. I will say that I disagree with you that enchanted blue is way too light. All my guys are enchanted and I think it comes out just right. To be honest, when put together I cant see much difference between the 2 shades.

thats the weord thing, yours look very close in shade to my ultra blue, yet when i used to paint with enchanted it was the colour of blu-tak.. different painting styles i guess?

Great looking marines but are you going to add some scouts. ;) ..since you are one of the gurus of space marine scouts.

I really like the black-lining. Very neat and gives really good definition. Evidently you have a steady hand! ;)

 

thanks gillyfish, but i dont black line as such, instead i undercoat black and leave the recesses when i apply the basecoat. I takes about an hour to do per model but its worth it, in actual fact i really should do a second coat of ultra blue but im too lazy
