World Eaters rule! Totaly better than Iron Warriors anyway.

[UnevenElefant5]

This thread is making me want to finish my Renegade IG army.
I just wish I knew more people in my area that played this game, then I would have more motivation to actually learn the rules. Right now I'm just painting the models 'cause they're fun to paint.

no u, Iron Warriors all the way. D:

Nice painting, surely better than I could do.

Feh, Imperial Guard > Chaos anyways:

If you don't agree then you're a colossaly cool guy who is entitled to their opinion.

E: this is what I meant when I said put a black line under your chips (ignore the bootleg )

[Hotrod]

@n00b : Ah ok, that does look really good, and it gives me a nice idea on how do add in some chips and cuts into my own marines. Even just by looking at that picture, I already have a few ideas about what to do to make my own guys look better too (although that PM you sent me was amazingly helpful too). I don't want to sound too egotistic or cocky, but for a beginner that has never really painted before, I would say that my models are pretty good, no? Because compared to my own guys, I've seen some pretty bad stuff...

@Warsaw : Thanks! I'm sure that with practice, you could do some nice stuff too. That's one thing I've learned over the past years of drawing (I never did post my stuff here, did I?). The more you practice, the better you get. If I compare my work from two years ago to what I can do now...man, I was so bad before :P

Oh, and Chaos >>> Imperial Guard, even though Guardsmen are pretty badass.

@UnevenElefant : Finish them! Trust me, whenever you leave a project unfinished, you always regret having done so. In plus, I'm curious to see what your guys look like

[Warsaw]

Hey, you know that flashlight spamming is awesome. Even SM armour doesn't stand a chance to the massive bucket o' dice.

Also yes, I fall in the same boat. I'm much better at drawing now than I was two years ago. I had to overcome the natural tendency to draw anime-style...I don't even like drawing in that style. I just don't have a very steady hand for painting.

[Hotrod]

Woot! Update time again! Sorry that it took so long. Anyway, here's what I have :

First off, my Chosen Chaos Space Marines. I decided to make 5 of them Chosen just as an excuse to give them different colour schemes. Of course, I will most likely be using them as regular Chaos Marines most of the time. And yes, I know I missed a few spots here and there on the one with the black head/body, I'll fix them, don't worry




And then I've been playing around some more with my Rhino, decided to do what n00b said and add some black into the cracks. I then realized that it looked a lot like a burn mark from plasma or a flamer, so I tested that effect out one a few places.




And finally, Defiler is coming along nicely Should be done soon enough

So what do you guys think?

And you're right Warsaw, nothing can survive against a million flashlights

[n00b1n8R]

The flamer damage looks good and you're definitely improving with your painting.
Also, better idea for the paint damage - paint the black on first, then the metal. Should have posted that earlier.

It still looks like you're using monotone metalics though. Fix that asap! (atleast use washes, preferably dry-brushed highlights as well).

[Hotrod]

Thanks! And I worked on my older models to bring them up to par with my current ones. I was going to take pictures of them to show, but I got too lazy to carry them all upstairs. Yeah, about the metalics, I was waiting to buy some washes. But what else would you suggest I do with them? I wanted to fix them up but couldn't think of anything.

[n00b1n8R]

I've mainly painted nids so metallics aren't my strong suit. Just check the book

[UnevenElefant5]

I like the way you're going with the paint job, although I do agree with n00b1n8R, try using some washes on the metallics, it will look a lot more natural that way. Also I like that little shield you added onto that marine, I might have to put a shield on one of my Chaos Marines.
