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 :(

Dreadnought progress

Still not done with this guy, haven't found a name to put in his center banner. Still thinking of a proper greek/roman name for him but my mind always drifts into something else. I have been working on him faster than I normally do but he is a lot easier for some reason.

Still need to work on the exhaust pipes, they need more of a brownish tone. Gonna work on that
I really like this arm, just need to drill the holes for the multi-melta
I need to take a better picture of the details on this arm. It has a lot more than the melta one.
So what do you guys think of this WiP? I still need to do the metal on everything to make it look like the paint has fallen but it's almost there.

Update from black Reach

Holy week is over. Lots of beer were drank and pounds gained and no space marines were painted. Sucks cause I wanted to paint all the tactical SM, oh well. Before Holy week I managed to paint a couple and I'm about to finish space marines 8 and 9. Hopefully before sunday's game.

I decided to take a group photo. The camera didn't want to focus on anything so this is the only picture that had any focus at all.

This one I like very much. His helmet looks very cool, I tried to paint it well but I feel like I'm rushing them.

This one, I noticed there are some parts unpainted.
Backside


I "finished" the sergeant and added the text on the scrolls as suggested.

I added some text on his knee and a number on his shoulder too.

Also, I left the back skull gold but I added more wash until I was satisfied.
Here is a photo of my photo booth. Very simple... don't laugh :P

I have only started using washes and they are awesome. I want to paint orks so I can use them more often.

What do you guys think?

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:
