RGilbert26's Space Marine army

[RGilbert26]

Morning all, seeing that I'm being quite good at posting pictures of the work I've done for my Space Marine army I figured it would be best if I just put them all into one thread, so first off here are my Sternguard.

Here is today's update (which I would have posted yesterday but it was too bright) the HQ for my army and his Bodyguard, enjoy.

As usual comments and opinions welcome.

N/B: Funny how models look better in person and I think the best time to take pictures is outside when the Sun is behind clouds.

Why is Lysander's face blue?

[RGilbert26]

It isn't it's black. Because I suck at doing faces I decided to just leave it black and it actually looks quite good with the dark shade. Also I haven't painted his eyes, partly because I can barely see them to paint them but also because I think I'd ruin the look :p If anyone asks I'll just say that he has his eyes closed when you look at him, lol.

I could be sneaky and say that they are a successor for Salamanders :)

Very nice, a simple and effective paintjob to create a very respectable looking force. Probably won't win any Best Presentation awards, but will never be anywhere near the bottom in scoring. You would need to clean up in some places and pick out some little details to take it to the next level, you seem an accomplished enough painter to know exactly what I'm referring to. Overall, I give it a solid 5 on my ranking scale. Which only a handful of know about, so I should probably explain it...

Rank 1 - Beginner (My eyes! What is that mess?!)
Rank 2 - Novice (Just learned to drybrush and use thin paint layers, nice)
Rank 3 - Three Colours Up (Just enough to be tournament viable, no real detail, no clean edges)
Rank 4 - Below Table Top Standard (good detail, some basic techniques, but still messy)
Rank 5 - Table Top Standard (clean edges, good detail, looks good on the table, but flaws noticed up close)
Rank 6 - Above Table Top Standard (some advanced techniques, looks good on table and up close)
Rank 7 - 'Eavy Metal (extra attention to detail, gotta look pretty for the catalog)
Rank 8 - Forge World (realistic use of weathering, extra attention to detail, advanced techniques)
Rank 9 - Golden Demon/Crystal Brush (you know what I mean)
Rank 10 - Angel Giraldez (we bow to the master)

[RGilbert26]

Well there is the fact im not doing highlighting on purpose :P

@ Cursed - the FW vehicles are tops. A lot of the heresy infantry we see from FW is respectfully over weathered and looks R.A.F.

[RGilbert26]

When I'm at my best I'm a strong 6.

[Cursed13]

Yeah, I should have specified that. Most of the Horus Heresy stuff looks like the new painters were given the task.

Morning all, just finished my Land Raider and here's the pictures, enjoy.

Comments and opinions welcome as usual.

N/B: I will at some point go over the army again and touch up the paint work or add another layer of paint so it's more smooth, but at the moment im taking the stance that they're constantly at war and can only apply a quick blob of paint, lol.

[Cursed13]

Another classy piece of work, continues the trend of your earlier posts.

[RGilbert26]

Thanks, next up will be a Devastator Squad, although I wont be able to start on it until next Tuesday.

[RGilbert26]

Afternoon all, just finished my Devastator Squad. Next up are two Tactical Squads and then I'm done :)

Enjoy.

C&C welcome.

[RGilbert26]

Morning all, I have just finished uploading the pictures for both of my Tactical Squads and the full army picture. At some point I will retake the pictures when the Sun is behind a cloud and not behind the house which adds a blue tint to the pictures. Hopefully everyone enjoys these pictures.

Here is first half of Tactical Squad one:
