Bloodthirster90 Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 whoa...guillman's oath! how long did those things take you? they're awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You should be VERY PROUD! :D That's an incredible squad. So much life and character. Together they look wonderful. Anyone can can make a cool detailed Commander but a whole squad like this is a true gem. Get out there and play some Medusa V mega-battles and show off those Marines!!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Dont worry Raz, you arent the first slow painter to walk the halls of the B&C, and probably wont be the last :) However, given the amount of details on these minis and the execution of the paint work, your slow and purposeful routine has really paid off. The minis are fantastic and are a strong testiment to what you can do when you really sit down and take your time. Well done ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontierpediatry Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 That's a serious competitor for the best and most characterful tatical squad I've ever seen. You're allowed to take as long as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziellycas Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 :unsure: thanks to all for the feedback but I don't think that they are so great.. there are a lot of people here that paint and convert more better than me, I'm just trying to do my best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Well you are certainly playing to your strengths which is 90% of being "accepted" as an artist. Many people run off trying to "show off" with techniques they do not understand or are not prepared to display. In the case of these models, the viewer doesn't notice the single(?) highlighted black as much as the over-the-top Purity Seals, vicious blood spatters, and deep weathered gold. Your posing, while basic, brings out individuality and a sense of zeal. The crazy helmets are .. just crazy. =) As single miniatures they might each have too little this and too much that, but together they work great as a Squad.

I the second squad has got better bases yet and also true scale, every time I add something better thanks to the suggestions posted from the B&C brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Lovley squad, however there is one thing that let them down!... the bases! Other than that great work! I Gotta disagree here, this a a VERY visual unit with lots of details to catch the eye, I think the subtle base is a better fit for showcasing the models.

Yraen Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Just a little static grass would probably do the trick with the bases. At least a little green does wonders to my grey/urban bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least a little green does wonders to my grey/urban bases. brrr I hate green base :wub: the static grass is on the base but it's painted with black and grey so you can't recognize it... I love the grey sands of the necron codex and I used for this first squad, in the second I've add some ruins and metal things like cities of death base, I think I will buy some resin kit from gw for my next squad of termies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Love them. Extremely gritty and gothic looking. Nice compared to the clean marines we normally see :blink: Now get painting more :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
