  1. I like the middy tyres. Although, doesn't the mud-encrusted leading edge of the mud-guard imply they've been reversing?
  2. Unbelievable, isn't it? As you say, big armies do look great in display cabinets.
  3. Ah, I grew up with 2nd Edition - 2,000 points of Space Marines was roughly the size of your painted army. It made for some compact armies, but lacked the visual appeal of a large painted army on the shelf. Plus, Terminators had a 3+ save ... on 2D6
  4. Your previous Sons of Horus army looks nice. I like the use of weathering on their feet to tie them into the environment of their base In terms of model-count, it reminds me of 2nd Edition 40K armies
  5. Really nice work. I like the texturing on the carapace of the Helamite.
  6. The scenery and table looks great Four-and-a-half days to get the Secundus box painted really isn't bad going - I'd probably still be thinking about the weapons options ...
  7. Love the Orkish scrawl and the vat of honestly-not-toxic goo The addition of the vines and bracken is a nice touch, too
  8. Can't you just switch-a-roo the company colours of the 7th and 8th to save you from having to re-paint them? I'm biased insofar as I quite like purple, but I do think they look good
  9. Vallejo's tutorial implies just paint it over the (painted) surface you want to weather.
  10. One brush stroke for the Ultramarines "u" is pretty impressive work
  11. I think your background is spot on - it fits the setting very well. I agree that some kind of stylised sun would make a good icon, or something more generic/abstract like a lightning slash (a la Storm Giants). If you're looking for a lightbox, you can make one really easily.
  12. I really like Brother Golaan - the subtle glow on the power emitter is really nice
  13. For what it's worth Rosemary & Co, Artis Opus, and The Army Painter all use goat hair in their drybrushes.
  14. I come from a time when there was no such thing as a drybrush - we just used knackered old regular brushes that couldn't keep a point. Having said that ... I'll echo what @Grotsmasha said (although I use the Rosemary & Co Model Drybrush ones - The Army Painter has a cheaper equivalent that came out after I bought mine, though).
