Brother Ulkesh Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Okay guys, I have been working on my vow (honest!) but haven't found the time to do much in the way of pictures & updates, so here's the first update on my assault marines. I have actually finished them now, but haven't taken any photos of the finished article yet. There's not much for you to C&C here, as I do most of my painitng on the sprues (& my crappy camera has given my paint job a much brighter tone that you just don't get "in person". Anyhoo, here are the first pictures: Helmets: Bodies, legs & bases: I'll persevere with my camera as the updates roll on & hopefully get some better pictures up soon.

Brother Ulkesh Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Second update... Here are the pictures of the finished Assault Squad (yes, I know I've not done the kneepad squad marking - this is because until I get my mitts on the new codex I don't know if they'll still be a squad of 5 or if they'll be joining with my other 5-man squad). Sergeant & trooper: Other 3 guys: I might be deluding myself, but I think that these photos are clearer than the others. Daylight - flash = win! Rhino is still in (partly-painted) pieces, but I hope to have a pic or two uploaded tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah i prefer daylight for my pics. They just seem so much better :D But good work, we'll take your word for it :wub: I've never worked with yellow (not brave enough) but are you going to give it a wash to give more depth? Good luck with the rest of your Vow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 They need some Jump Packs now :P Looking very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ulkesh Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks for the replies & comments, guys. I agree that the yellow helms lack depth, but I'm a novice when it comes to using the washes. How would you advise I use them? Splash it on all over, or use it like thinned paint around the edges? In the meantime, work continues on the Rhino: Unassembled bits & pieces: Front, lights & aquila: Internal details: More internal details: So far, I've only done the main blocks of paint. Once I've put the body together I'll make an attempt at shading & highlighting (& I'll put the turrets & smoke launchers on, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ulkesh Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 All done! Completed Rhino: And completed vow "group shot": In real life, the red is not quite as bright & there are Blazing Orange highlights on both the marines & the Rhino, but I can't see the on my photos (& I know where to look... :D I have absolutely no illusions about winning Golden Demons, but I do want to improve, so please feel free to pass on any suggestions you may have.

Skirax Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Oh, they don't have jump packs :) Sorry? On the plus side, they look real good togethor :):yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ulkesh Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Oh, they don't have jump packs :lol: Sorry? On the plus side, they look real good togethor :yes:;) Hi Skirax, Thanks! No, these guys don't have jump packs - I think I'm going to merge them with my other non-JP squad & deep strike them in a Land Raider. In smaller games, they'll run as a five man squad in a razorback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
