Ok ive done this post before but ive had crappy pic, well i finally got my own nice camera and have been tanking some pics, so here they are!
These are my first models painted so dont be too harsh on them >.o




I should be able to get more pics up soon!

the red looks great but the silver looks a little bright. if you have inks, give the silver a quick wash of black ink and it will improve the look of the model so much.

other than that they look absolutely fine.

 

[The Wraithlord]

I see nothing wrong with these either, especially for a first try.

I would suggest you take a look in the Tips and Tutorials section of this forum for WeeToySoldiers article on taking pictures. Will really help you out, as well as us as we will be able to make out details better.

Even if you don't have Black Ink, just water down some Chaos Black and use that, its what I do the result is pretty much the same and is a darn site cheaper.

Nice red though.

Thanks everyone, gonna try to get my abbadon ive been working on for a while up, hes my first try at layering anything, and will check out the pic thing wraith, but you gotta admit, its a heck of alot better then the blurs i had for pics before :lol:

 

[DaemonsR'us]

K here are some more pics

[cccp]

True, you have me there Daemons :lol:

 

[torealis]

that DA is cool, and i'm loving the pack too, just be sure to GS the gaps underneath the chainsword bits...

 

[DaemonsR'us]

Will do with the GS soon as i get some, not gonna touch my apostle for a while with paint, not till my skills improve significantly at least :lol: but anyways, working on finishing the sqaud i showed you guys in these pics (plasma guy and champ and a bolter guy) now that Abaddon is finished, and not sure about the ink wash, i kinda like the silver how it is, but maybe it will give them a more aged look, anyways, ill see how it goes

Pictures are a bit blurry, but still good enough to make out details. As a fellow word bearer I can say that I like what I see mate! Planning on going all out on hroned helmets somewhere in the future myself.

Really like what you did with the dark apostle, always figured that chaplain looked kind of evil. And with that backpack he has definitely turned to the dark side. Still a few moldlines on it, but its still a WIP so no biggy.

I have a few humble suggestions...yes just suggestions :wink: As torealis said, perhaps a bit of GS to fill out the gaps beneath the swords/arch on the backpack.
The chaplain still has an imperial eagle on his belt, how about cutting of the skull piece and replacing it with some chaosy. Sure you can find something suitable to harvest from a chaos sprue (maybe a shoulderpad symbol)
The same goes for his accursed crozius, still a bit loyalistic. Although paint could really change this, perhaps the toppiece could be replace with something chaosy.
Not entirely sure if it would work but what about the top piece of throt's weapon with somehting chaosy in the middle link
Or this one, inquisitor piece so not sure about the size link
Or the top piece of the left guy link

Going to have to give this one some more though :wink:

 

[DaemonsR'us]

Well the reason so far ive left those on is once the pain comes, do 8 sided stars over anything impereal on him, much like the renegades, so kinda make a mockery of the impereal creed or w/e

 

[DaemonsR'us]

K guys heres the plasma gunner! hope you like him!



Maybe i can get tor to post up a bigger pic again if you guys want a bigger one

The bones on his fists arent done yet though, im gonna do the whole squads bone parts in one swoop, doing the layering and mixing for each individual model :? no thanks :lol:

 

[cccp]

looks okay to me! i still insist a black ink wash on the silver would make the model so much better.

bt still, good work. red is a hard colour to do properly.

 

[torealis]

cccp is right, a black ink wash would do wonders. you could also try what i did on my tumpty fists, and that is to use a good old colour wash (red in your case) and then a very thin black wash in the deep lines, really brings out the red.

 

[Jacobite]

What they said lol, other wise its good. The green on the gun works as well.

 

[Red Orc]

I quite like brown washes myself.

But I can't show you what they look like as I don't have a digital camera, soz.

 

[Firewolf]

>> I find flesh wash over metallics gives a nice grimey look to the models. I done it with my Black Legion army, who have no gold trim, but boltgun. Works well, but whatever anyone else thinks!!

 

[cccp]

flesh wash is nasty.

 

[hephesto]

Looking good there, looks like the legion is growing in number.

A wash of the metal might help add more depth, although this could also just be the picture. An easy way is to water down some chaos black, put some on your brush, whip most of and then gentle give the metal a wash.

Looking forward to the next one!
