WarriorFish Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nobody only collects a small Guard force, once you start you don't stop ;) I like the vehicle camouflage, it makes for a very striking jungle scheme. Post up some infantry shots next so we can get a better look at them! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idlem Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I had the same thing happen. Started off with an allied detachment and then BAM. Suddenly I have a huge guard army. Looking forward to more pictures showing up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Here is a little taster I found in a picture album on the phone of some infantry pics I'm going to get for you guys. Hopefully some will come tomorrow when I play the step son in his second ever game. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20130819_160516.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 And here are some infantry pics, sorry for poor quality using camera phone. As always comments and suggestions appreciated. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202624.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202611.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202708.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202724.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202820.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202802.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/Mobile%20Uploads/20140410_202835.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Good stuff. I would recommend some Shades. Whatever the current sepia one is for pink skin, and Agrax Earthshade for brown skin. Athonian Camoshade is a nice one for green armour, though if money is an issue then Agrax an excellent backup (I swear I get through three pots of that for one of anything else). For scribblescript I would recommend a superfine drawing pen (I use a 002) and tap it on the surface of the model rather than drawing lines. Many, many small dots make it look more like text. One alternative that a GD-winner taught me was to cut down a wooden toothpick so it's as fine as you can get it, and dip it in waters down black paint. Then use that to do the many, fine dots. Takes a lot more patience but it looked finer and better than the pen. Lacking such time or patience, I use the pen. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks for the tips. I will try these out once I get a pot of shade. And I will try again with the map/notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm with Kier, a bit of washing would help make them pop more with little effort - it's what I do :) All hail the Earthshade! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatmandoo Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 Well the painting started this evening and I am happy with the progress and have broken the back of them now. Bit more base layer green before washes and dry brushing. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e301/chrisburnett2010/20140518_221759.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 That's quite a bit of progress for such a short amount of time! Not that I needed a reminder of how slow I am with infantry... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I needed a reminder of how slow I am with infantry... :P Thanks, I am not interested in the common infantry, and I have loads left. I will not fail the vow though and once these are done then I can do some armour as a reward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Excellent, looks like they're almost done! Is that a camouflage pattern I spy on the sniper? Could you give us a close up of it please? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 It is camoflage patterns on both snipers. Will get a decent pic later when hopefully they are completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Fantastic! Well done, keep the models coming :D I like your snipers, you managed to make them quite different despite the mono-pose nature of the bits. I'm eager to get to work on my Platoon now, I look forward to seeing your tanks finished :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks for the comments. The snipers are all about the heads to make them individual, and my favourite is the head from the chimera sprue. (On the right of the two i have done). Cannot wait to get stuck into the tanks, be nice to have some uniformity in the colour schemes. So even the red and grey are going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I did that same for my snipers, an idea I shamelessly stole from Kier :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 I did that same for my snipers, an idea I shamelessly stole from Kier :P It's something I have done for years. Most of my marine scouts are like it, and even in a desert style though apparently they look more like leopard skin. Still made banshees think better of combat all the way back in 3rd!
