The Rhino looks good. I'll be posting painted Black Templars in my WiP soon so feel free to take a look.

Looks very good. The Rhino has very good metal effects on it.

One question. I know this is a commision but, why do the Marines have Chaos backpacks. Oh (looking through the Black Templars Codex), and Black Templars can't have Ironclad Dreadnoughts.

Commissioner wanted them to represent a legion that was not quite loyal to Chaos, but wasn't just working for the Imperium either. They aren't really called Black Templars, that's just the scheme he wanted them in

Ahhh, that explains it. Once I've finished my 1500 (or 2000) point Tyranid army I was thinking about a similar Idea for The Falllen, Dark Angel Veteran Marines painted with black power armour and grey cloth (as per the "Unknown" legion in the Chaos Space Marine Codex). I'm then going to use Cypher as my leader and give 10 Veterans metal Fallen backpacks.

First plasma gunner. Just needs clean-up and some more work on the shoulder pads.



C&C welcome

Is that OSL I see? I love that effect and have been practicing with a green glow from a Plasma Gun. He looks good, especially the hard edging and the OSL.

Yeah, he looks pretty good but the pic's a bit small, next time could you crop away the extra space Josh so we can see the miniature more clearly?

Thanks guys

@ Cal--yup, my first attempt too. Glad you like it

@ Michael--still trying to figure that one out...I don't think we have an editing program. Can you do that in PaintShop?

Yes, you can resize and/or crop pictures using PaintShop or Photoshop, but even MS Paint allows you to do it very easily.

To resize a picture just select the command Resize in the menu Image. Might take a few attempts to get it right because it works with %.

To crop a picture you need to use the Select tool (dotted rectangle on the top of the toolbar) to errrm, select the area you want to keep and then pick the Crop command on the Image menu.

Hope this helps.

I think I've finally figured out how to crop photos. Thanks Mac!

Newest model. I've gotten four others done besides this, pics soon!



These are coming along surprisingly quick. And I've got six months to do them all

The pic is a bit dark, doesn't show all of the details. There's more shading on the robes and the edge highlights are brighter IRL.

Looking ok the one thing I would say is that the tabard highlights are a bit abrupt, I think a few more intermediate layers to soften the transition from dark to light would really improve the look.

I agree, these don't stand up to close inspection too well, but look good at range. When I get to heros/etc I'll be doing a lot more gradual blending, these are being painted to look good from a short distance.

Here's an update of what I've gotten done over the last day or so. The two marines with different robe colors haven't been washed yet, after the wash they'll look the same as the others

Almost finished, just needs touch-up, cleaning up of highlights and bit of work on the weathering.

Looking good Anduril!
Really like this last mini, the metal bits in particular...

Keep it up!
