Truth be told ive only been painting for about....... 3 or 4 months. I mentioned it in my intro but i did alot of looking around for painting tips, for pro strategies, and spent alot of time on the UK GW site looking at the pro painted models for EVERY race just to see what different paints mold different colors. Its kinda hard to see how those details make there way into just red/marines but i tried to apply them with my librarian and chaplains! I do however employ the use of the space marines paint guide more for reference and how to paint human faces because MY chapter isnt featured in that painting guide, even though it should be!! When i sold my ultramarines on ebay, a few of the buyers asked if i did commisioned jobs/requests and i told em not commercially but if they could work something out id do what i could, or course they wanted crazy lhuge jobs like a full company of space marines and they would pay for the finished product, which i had to respectfully decline because im a poor college student and dont have the $cha-ching$ to invest in that much that fast lol.

On a different note, THANK YOU, for the input into my marines combat scheme! I appreciate the input on my power weapon usage, ive always liked the way power weapons were portrayed in the novels so i had to gravitate towards them when converting my marines. Also thank you on the melta/flamer tip, seeing as how there is only 2 models that i have equipped with either of those! Ill stick to only running around with those 2 special weapons, also i was thinking of creating Devastator squads or in my chapters case "Armageddon Squads". Would i want to emphasize those weapons in a devastator squad (flamers/meltas) ?

As for my death company colors, seeing as how its HELL trying to get ahold of one because the seller in my town barely holds enough SM stuff (but loves having orks/chaos crap EVERYWHERE) im thinking WHEN i get them, ill have to put a different color i have yet to feature in any of the other marines. It my chaos black/scab red/ Brazen Brass/ and a silver color of some type possibly boltgun metal or mithril silver any input on a fourth color for my death company is also good!

And thanks for all the encouraging posts, thanks to everyone has bveen given via a clicking of a thanks button, how convenient!
