Lamenters

Gotta get 1500 points done for Tooncon coming up in less than a month. Lets see if I can do it!

I can't get good lighting. These tacticals are done but need to be rebased.





with flash


A couple of finished terminators




I got a lot more work to do. Back to it. Please criticize, no guarantees I'll fix it soon though. Not much time.

That is a sharp looking squad! One minor tweek that I think would not take long to do is to add a small amount of gem effect or light spots to the lenses of the marines. It'll help make their eyes pop out I think. Very sharp looking work Ryan!

What are you doing on the bases? I kinda like the sort of colour they are now TBH.

How many mini's do you need to do?

My hat is off to you good sir, Sharp looking bunch, and the best of luck on your deadline (I've got one myself!)

damn fine work sir, are they the ones based off the blood angels. cant wait to see the full force if i make it to tooncon myself

Thanks! And good luck as well.

@Scott - I did try an effect on all the lenses, either 3 shades of blue or red with a white dot at the end. It didn't really show in the pictures, my transitions maybe just aren't that good. The bases on the terminators are done and are from dragonforge designs. I have them for the whole army so need to move the tacticals to them. I gots 34 mans, and 5 vehicles to do in all.

@da bear - Yup, based off of the BA, I have a few of the BA elements scattered throughout the army. However, I will be using the vanilla codex for now.

Oh sure, I see it now in the pic with the flash. Esp. the mans on the far right. Well then... carry on! Really like it. You've got the strong contrasty visual of the chapter insignia and a nice smooth popping colour for the units on the table. I likes.

Update:

Finished Terminators


Without flash




Sarg. He's apparently very pure.


Next to do, bases for the tactical's, tomorrow night.


What's better, pics with the flash or without? I dunno... Anyways, comments, questions, crits always welcome.

Thanks Robyn

You got it pretty much exactly. Black base - Iyanden Darksun - full wash of Devlan Mud - Iyanden Darksun - Bleached Bone.

Army Painter spray fumes, Foundation Paints = right up there with scented markers and sharpies.
OLD Foundation Paints and Wash = big thumbs down. They just smell bad, esp. the Washes.

Really nice face work.

Scouts!

As always, crits appreciated.

Finished the Librarian. I've had this dude for a long time. Repainted most of him and re-based.

I like the head scar, it adds a lot of character to your libby

Looks like you'll have more paint on your models than me.

Good painting, can't wait to instant death this character with a melta shot. Also, nice 'snow' scenic model stand, really makes it seem like he's standing in the middle of a desert oasis in the warm sunny desert of antartica, either that or the sun ALWAYS does shine on the empire, and no one else.

Can't wait to see this army in person, I'm sure the pics don't do it justice at all.

I assumed they were on the planet Berber......

I hope that's just the shitty lighting playing tricks because I sure didn't want the bases to look like 'winter oasis'.

I was making a "Is that a towel?" comment, the actual bases look great. I wish I could paint as good as you Ryan, that hour glass on the libby really impresses me.

Your army is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see it all done and on the table top. I am really looking forward to seeing some pics of the vehicles especially the land raider when its all finished up. Is there still a realistic chance it will all be painted up for toon con on sunday?

My advice is to start pounding energy drinks now and staying up for all night paint sessions here until sunday. But also to stay away from large riding lawn mowers.

Thanks Tom, it's a facecloth!

Good advice Dana. But you know how f'd up that made me last time. Energy drinks will do awful things to you. Realistically, I don't think it possible to finish the army to the standard I want. It will be there and with paint on everything, though. I have a list of excuses, but that's all they are, is excuses.

There def won't be anymore pics on here untill after the tourny. I have to spend all my time painting.

Update. A couple of dreads. In my 10+ years of 40k, these are the first dreads i've ever painted and used. So far I've been decently happy with their performance.

Tom, purple towel.

Lighting is gawd awful. Need to figure something else out for pics.

Good stuff, like the bases. Freehand came out nice too!
