Hi all,
I have recently returned to the hobby at full steam after a very long on and off hiatus. My first foray into painting (about 12 years ago) was utterly terrible, but since returning a few years back it's started to improve, and i want to keep improving. The more i read online, the more techniques i'm eager to test, so hopefully the quality will continue to develop. I've got a lot of good tips and ideas from the forums, and now some c&c would be appreciated.
I don't have a particular aim for the log, just to keep painting, try a bit of converting and hopefully churn out some half decent models.
Here's what i have completed so far. I've also got a command squad that just needs basing, so they will be up soon.
1st combat squad I painted
Scouts - i tried to sculpt a cape for the seargent but it didn't quite go to plan :/
Razorback
Bike squad with minor conversion
Attack bike
All comments welcome, cheers!
Notes on my Army:
I started them before 5th edition, and i hate the coal black skin & red eyes rubbish - they are staying dark skinned.
I very rarely play, and never against anyone who minds, so I model whatever wargear I want to. Generally I want to stay fluffy going forward with Flamers/meltas, hammers and converted cc(mastercrafted) weps, and techy stuff.
My swords are massive, because that's how we roll.
