Drop pod

It seems all I am able to finish are ultramarines, I don't know why but I get from start to finish in very little time. Hopefully I have not jinxed it and this drop pod stays unfinished like the rest of my armies.

On the painting, I did a white basecoat. I then preshadowed with basecoat black the outside (I should have basecoated the metal parts black.) Then did a very light coat of Necron Abyss. Trying to keep most of the color on the lines and recesses. Then applied an even coat of Mordian Blue. I noticed that the parts I wanted brighter weren't. So I added a bit of white to the mordian blue and airbrushed the middle parts. Looks better in person. I don't know how I am going to do the edge highlights :(

new technique

I started yesterday a new technique to paint my space marines. I started 5 sm scouts with sniper rifles and today I can show you a WiP shot. Hope you guys like it.

Terminators almost done, and a little something something

While I didn't like to paint the white, the rest was a blast. I really enjoyed this squad and I'm glad its almost done. Ready to move onto more eldar now.

Need to tidy up the checkers on this one, the ultramarines U needs to be fatter and a bigger round hole in the middle, gonna work on that tomorrow. Also on this picture the promised drilled guns.
Oh power weapon, I read online how to do this red effect and couldn't wait to put it on Mr. Termy here.
Writting with a brush is a real pain. Not going to bother with fixing this :P
I did the shield on this one second and it looks a little bit better.
I liked the way the terminators on the AoBR read me had letters on the shield so I copied it.
Same
They are moving to get some sand beneath their feet :D
And this is the little something something. Gonna have a blast painting this SM Predator :D :D
Next up 3 eldar :D

4th Space Marine

Ok I hope this week I get 1 Space Marine done each day or two.
I think my highlighting improved on the face of the space marine at least.

I made a mistake by not being careful with the brush and painted the face with tin bitz. It was promptly fixed :P (in the top picture: face painted with tin bitz >_<; )

I really liked the way the seal ended up but I didn't want to take three pictures (back front side) so a half side half back picture will have to do.

C&C are always welcome

Some progress on space marines

I did some work on the space marines. I decided to work on 6 at the same time, so far it's going painfully slow. I'll post pictures tomorrow. [edit: pictures below]

The space marine sergeant is also a work in progress. After the mordian blue is done I'm going to paint one at a time for the details.

Also, my metallic paints came and I started doing some work on the three first marines:

The bases are going to be a pain, because I'm leaving them for last :P

In the meantime, I fell down during my karate class. I fell on my arm and even though it hurt a bit it wasn't that bad. I got the weirdest bruise I've gotten so far:

3rd space marine

New space marine!

I painted some details on this one, still no gold trims but I have been reading up on NMM so maybe I'll use that.

I also started up on the sanding of the sergeant and the marine with the missile launcher.




I think the back of this one ended up better cause I used finer lines. They will be fighting this weekend :D

First two Space Marines

I think they are coming ok. Still missing the gold paint.

I have to fix the numbering on this one, it looks sloppy.


First two space marines ever, they aren't finished. But any comments and critiques would help a lot.
