|  that would be the one!  looking over it again, i did my darker lines a wee bit thicker sadly, but then i kept to a standard brush instead of switching to the fine detail brush...  mind you, i'm trying to give myself a bit of a challenge by keeping to just a standard brush for most everything - including all the details! (yep, i'm truely mad!) cheers!

 so, a few of my friends, (including the psycho who painted the infamous mage!) have challenged me to try and stick to only a standard brush... i'm also looking at this as a learning experience. if i can paint an army and have it finish in say the top 5 for best appearence and/or best army, then i might be at the point that i can seriously consider perhaps entering the demons in another year or so! anyways, here's the long-awaited photos!!! forgive my techno-stupidity for the links... i have no clue how to post the photos proper in the thread!    hope the wait was worth it. anyways enjoy and as always, i welcome any comments/crits cheers!

the flames simply require practice & patience; 1) lightly outline your basic pattern with watered down blazing orange. once you're happy with the design, fill it in comleatly with a even coat of blazing orange. 2) 1st highlight is roughly an 80/20'ish? mix of fiery orange & blazing orange... (can't really recall, i might have just gone to very watery coats of fiery orange and slowly built it up?!) anyways, highlight the upper 2/3rd's or so of the flames. 3) the top 1/2 of the design is then highlighted strait fiery orange 4) the top 1/3rd is given a highlight of 50/50'ish fiery orange + sunburst yellow. basically i keep these highlights to the edges and tips of the flames. 5) final highlight around the tips of the flames with 80/20'ish sunburst yellow + fiery orange. my mixes are likely a bit off though... because i use fairly watery coats to get a much more subtle blend, i tend to simply mix the next colour with the previous mix! (and i'm lazy too!) erus: ouch man! that hurt! thank-you again though for the kind words.  anyways, i'm likely going to be holding back on the amount of detail for now just so i can be assured i get my army at least properly painted for the tournament... i've also finished assembling my 1st unit of terminators!*evil grin* cheers!

| i most definately will do! though it'll be a bit before i get the chance to go back over everything as after astro, i've got about 25 or so odd days to prepare for a massive apocalypse game! however, the 1st terminator unit, 'squad infernal' is now built and ready for priming! in total i used a few of the blank chaos termie shoulder pads + the skull pad along with a pair of the spikey racks, 2 chest plates and a set of the walking legs for the squad sergeant. i filed off a bunch of the chaos iconography, especially on the sergeant's legs! then finished them off with a healthy does of purity seals, incense censors, liturgy banners and such... cheers!

 you're doomed if you clone that army of me...oh, and actually, there's a local kid i'm slated to drop my guard army on top of next week too... he plays eldar and likes psykers alot, so little devius is going to have a nice snack. anyways, i've got two full days off so with enough kicking, i should get a good amount of work of done. the goal is to finish up both my 5 man power armour squads at the very least... at best, i hope to have at least gotten the termies well underway as well! cheers!
