So here's a test model for a death company unit led by Astorath the Grim. The reason for the coloring is behind Astorath's fluff, he would kill any death company that would become too crazed by the black rage. So this would be a unit of death company that he killed before they got too crazed. Enjoy.
@Isarofeen: its just a small file or blade that takes off the crease left by the mold when the pieces of the model are made.
Well here's Astorath, It was very difficult to get a decent picture due to his dark color without it seeming either too glossy or too flat, so here's the best I could do with my phone camera XD
I was a little reluctant to post the pics because it doesn't show much of the detailing off but I figured you guys wanted to see the finished squad Enjoy!
The dreadnought does look a little bit flat. Maybe use a wash to darken the skull? It's really got no contrast at all from what I can see, and there's a lot of room to make it stand out more.
Mate you've obviously got some good skill with the brush, but it looks like your colours are a bit thick, especially the white. Make sure you let each layer dry before you put a new one on, and remember lots of thin coats are better than one or two thick ones.
This one looks a lot nicer than those previous, but I think the paint could still do with a bit more thinning, you can see brushstrokes, and where the paint is built up.
pretty sick! definitely some good work going on here.
haha The jetpack things make me laugh. black wings with white armor looks awesome though.
Two biggest critiques would be: fix up those bases!! whole feet area looks like slop without basing. And the eyes bug me because I cant really see them. I would suggest coloring them in more, red green, more defined blue whichever.
thanks guys, yeah this guy was probably my best so far, they're getting easier as I do them which is nice.
As for the bases, I'm gonna base him today, it was late last night and I was lazy
And the eyes I'm gonna finish the squad and then go back and do all the eyes, theyre all just gray at the moment, I wanna try to test on a few spare models to get that technique down, ill post the redone eyes when I'm done the squad
Will get a full squad shot up when I finish basing them... enjoy
