Christian's Blood Angels WIP (Picture Heavy)

[Christian]

Hi there,
after going through this forum for a long time now I thought of posting some of my WIP of my newly bought Blood Angels. I am preparing for a tournament right now so I have to paint a lot and updates will be often for the next week. Hope you like them.

For the start my WIP tactical squad:

What do you think? I am happy and open for Comments and Critics. More comming soon. Im just working on finishing the tactical squad and after that an Assault Squad on foot. The rest is still in Dettol because the models which I bought of ebay were just overwhelmed with paint.

hmmm well that NMM is intresting and could use a few more blends.. and the missle trail isnt my cup of tea but apart from that very good :D id recomend that whilst your gold NMM is average the silver needs some work.. idealy take a penny, clock, coin or anything shiny and twirl it about infront of the light. another point is they seem VERY glossy? one last point is that its hard too see the fingers a black/brown line or wash could go a LONG way


just my 2P

Your paint looks super thick (especially on the Apothecary) but apart from that good work. Once you thin your paints you'll never go back.

[Christian]

Thanks for the comments but acctually I really thin down my paints with a lot of water. I really dont know why they still come out so thick. I will see to it that this wont be the case anymore but I couldnt think of anything to do.

Nice transitions on the red and hats off on taking on NMM, it's not easy and your layering is solid on the colors. It can be hard getting the angle where the light is coming from correct - I know that's why I haven't tried lighting techniques.

Your guys look nice, and they're willing to lay down their lives for you in combat, all they ask is that you paint their bases and make sure they have backpacks :)

[Christian]

Thank you. Yes its not easy with the NMM and im reading a lot of totourials. Bases will be done by the end of the week and Backpacks....I dont really like them but they are a part of the marine and so they have to be painted *sighs*

[fuzzbuket]

as far as NMM tuts go i NEVER follow it to the letter.. have a test model and the paint the technique and improve it to match you style. read a tut look for the technique. mix technique with others and your own knowledge :D

[Christian]

Well here is an update to the tactical marines. These, in my opinion, don't look as good as the others because I have to hurry up painting. I still have 25 marines to paint in 5 days. So here some pics:
