So I finally decided to put together a project log here on Heresy Online. Over the past year I've loved browsing the amazing work by gamers all over the world. And seeing the wonderful C&C given by people to help people improve their modelling skills. So, here I go. I'm diving right in.
I have had these Chaos Space Marines for a few years now, and tried the Black Legion paint scheme, but it felt a bit boring for my taste and it seemed very popular. I wanted to do something a tad more unique, so I went with this Dark Wolves theme. I've played around with different greys and washes until finally I mixed this dark grey (almost a black) for the base color. It's hard to get a lot of depth, but with some practice putting some grey highlights in there, I think it'll come out well. I really like the light blue trim color, and plan on edge highlighting those areas.
I'd love all the C&C I can get. I think I have a pretty solid brush work, but where my skills lack are in blending and painting in many thin layers. However, this will be my first FULLY PAINTED army, and my objective is to get a tabletop quality paint job done in a fairly small amount of time. I'm not looking to speed paint, but I'm also not planning to spend a few hours every night painting. Just wanted to throw that out there so everyone has an idea of the types of C&C I would like to help my models look better.
And lastly, I'd love any help in getting my photos looking better. I don't have an amazing camera, but I feel like it will do the job as long as I can figure out the lighting and Shutter Speed/Aperture down. So any help there would be greatly appreciated!
I really look forward to seeing what people think and how I can improve! Thanks for looking!!!
***EDIT*** I had to change this title, seeing as how my aim has gone from Dark Wolves to Alpha Legion...and everything in between! :biggrin:
