Sorry bout the crap quility photos.. tried to get as good as i could. Hope you enjoy. I also have a scout unit which Im currently making up atm so should be able to post them soon.

tried to get a lil bit of tyrinid and bullet marks on the tank. can sorta see in the pics. Also Have a Dreadnought that Ill post later on with the scouts. This is my first ever go at this model thing so I think they came out ok. Still need to finish the based on a bunch. I want to get some sort of broken/ weathered tarmac look to them as I want to get enough troops for an apocolype battle.
Was thinking of making the whole chapter over time, but from what Ive researched theres ony 2 or 3 capitans for us

Any comments would be awsome

Hey Demon,

Looking good so far, and looks like a decent sized army too!

I reckon on the marines, a good couple of washes would really help the detail stand out, and a touch of highlighting on knee/shoulder pads would bring the models to life a little more.
The faces look pretty good so far. I'd be tempted to give them a little more color, but you're doing great and the pale skin sticks with fluff really well.

I think you might need to work on the eyes a little more to get a nice, crisp finish to the eye lenses on the helmet. Eye's on marines without a helmet are easy. Give them a touch of white paint, go back around the edges to cover up any mistakes there, then using a very very fine pen, pop a dot in the middle and bam, you're done.

As for basing, tarmac isn't really my thing (I do have a great technique for snow though!), so I'll leave that open for someone else to give ideas

Keep up the good work matey

yea i fully agree with the wash thing... only just got 2 from Games workshop dude the other day... and by god did I wish I new bout them sooner lol. Im spending a bit of time on my scouts which hopefully will show what I can do so far with my awsomely great lack of knowledge and skill hahah.. nah its good fun though.

yeah looks pretty solid man. washes are the best. Maybe give a drybrush and wash to the based materials too so they will pop a little more. Also i couldn't really tell in the pic but did you do any highlighting on the LR? it looked a little dark to me. You may have and i might just not be able to see it very well...edging up on 30 and all...

and 30 isnt that far away for me either

Highlighting on vehicles does bring them to life a little more, though getting the highlighting right can be a pain, especially on something the size of a LR.

Go on then Demon, how old are you? I'm 24 going on 40
