Re: Blood angels FIgs by Greg
I like it Greg! Nothing wrong with it, but I do have some suggestions if you like.
In some places like the crevices of the model, specifically the wierd sort of toes thingies on the feet, and maybe around the abs on the armor, I think you should try something. If you take some of the GW asurmen blue wash and mix it with maybe 50/50 of the black wash then thin that mix with about 1/2 water you could try using a smaller sized brush with not that much of the wash mix on it and brush it carefully into the recesses. Try it if you like in a place like one of the feet. If you don't like it, just paint it red again. If you do like it, give it a shot! It doesn't take all that long and adding that little bit of shading will make your red look super cool I think. I really think you should give it a shot!
If the result looks good to you then there's all sorts of other things you could try too! LMK if you go for it or not. But I really think you should.

I like it Greg. That's some of the best metal work I've seen from you. Is it washed with devlan mud? I do agree with Scott. You should try some more shading in the recesses, give what he suggested a shot.

The gold is a mix of bunished gold mix 1:1 with scorched brown. Then washed with scorched brown/badab black then highlighted with just gold. I will give the recess washing a try. I'll post a new pic when im done it.
Thanks for the compliments guys

Re: Blood angels FIgs by Greg
it looks good man. I agree that a wash on the armour would make it even more swanky

Greg, very nice. Between this and your warband it is obvious that your skillz are increasing rapidly. Id like to see the post wash picture as well.
