Heya man, you've turned a potential disaster into a success. Well done!

Looking great so far! A great blog :D Loving the 2nd edition look to some of your stuff, I'm a sucker for those old rhinos :D I'm actually saving up for the forgeworld kit to convert a new rhino into an old one :P Did you en joy painting Azaroth? He's an interestinf figure!

Agreed, the 12-15mm figured produced by other companies for historical gaming make for cheap/huge battles ^_^ With the tyranids, you should also be able to raid the epic range if need be? I would go with the other classic (the white and purple scheme) that came after the purple one. Brood Lord Lictor as the other favourite would clash and be lost against your blood angels. Other Also post a link to your modelling thread! Unless I missed that and you already did it ;p

Hehehe :) Cheers.. I'd love to do a BA tank of some kind, red looks so awesome.

Hi all, not thread jacking, just to say thanks for the inspiration Lamenter :> http://photos-f.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v363/128/96/633810322/n633810322_4201445_1633.jpg

hmmmm wonder if yould 'true scale' the marneus terminator into a space marine...

Yes that is indeed sods law matey!!

cool, don't forget to post pics!! Also, just had a chat with my mate, I didn't realise they changed the look of badmoon yellow, from its acid tint, to essentially a lighter sunburst. damn.

quite quite right :> thanks. It will be a challenge to paint over a dark background, even if I brush prime the surfaces white :> But I look forward to finishing my current salamander so I can get on with him... Speaking of which , I'm off to sculpt a green stuff heart...

cheers :> to my eye bad moon looks like 'tennis ball yellow' and sunburst like 'custard yellow' :yes: but thats just me!! HMMmmm mustard eh? I was thinking of adding dheneb stone to sunburst to create a slightly 'off' but strong yellow... what do you think?

Great tutorial :> I have a question or two me-self though: Why mix bad moon and sunburst yellow? especially on the first model, where mistakes over a badmon basecoat are touched up with sunburst? if the wah changes the yellow to look like sunburst, why not start with that colour (sorry I'm a fists player and have a very similar technique that uses paint washes instead of inks). I'm just curious! Secondly, I have to paint a lamenter soon, how would you describe the yellow? is it more badmoon or sunburst? I've looked at several mini's but they are all painted differently. Cheers!!

its either adeptus battle grey or codex grey.... I think they look really original! As for the banner, I would quarter it with your colour scheme, add chapter symbol to the middle and squad number to top left or bottom right corner.
