Veteran Squad (Possible Games Day Entry Attempt) - 40K Terra

JoeGuardsman · 04-09-2008

Be brutal.

munkey joe paints · 04-09-2008

Those are the most horrible things have ever seen!!!

Hey brutal is a lie......Very nice and i like the colors
for games day i would like to see more detail on the plasma gun and missle launcher. If you can make everything like that skull and grenade, you will be a contender for sure!!

now can i paint like this?? no so take my advice with salt.

JoeGuardsman · 04-09-2008

Thanks. Yeah my whole armies weapon locker is a boring black. I have to think of something to spice them up but not be too busy. That is the most awesomest avatar.

munkey joe paints · 04-09-2008

cool I know its a WIP (i can see...) and I know also the weapons were not finished. I meant was more details like painted freehand and maybe some "glow" effects from the plasma.

I am putting this as a preemptive strike for some who might say "well hes not done!!"

Thanks about the avatar....it was a gift and i like it as well!

Templar Mikeel · 04-09-2008

It sucks. Go die. Kill yourself or something.

Oh, brutally honest! I think they look really cool! Only thing that needs work is the weapons. Maybe you could add some of those cool painting glow effects that Hairy did a tutorial on.

Four20edLogan · 04-09-2008

They look good, interested in seeing how the rest of the squad looks

Prince of the Night · 04-09-2008

Nice start on the first mini. The flesh tones are very well blended as well as the armour and the skull. I am curious to see what you have planned for the base. As far as the plasma pistol, I agree with Monkey, that it just seems a bit lacking, like a green glow or that effect. I also love the small detail on the headband and grenade. Very nice mini.

I will see you @ GD as I plan on attending with my Plague Zombie marine army.

hairyyahoo · 04-09-2008

proper impressive stuff there joe. how did you manage to hide a talent like this from us for all this time?

i really like the flesh tones. maybe add something to the area where the bionics meet the skin, like bruising or something to suggest that having that metal arm isn't the most comfortable experience in the world

.

keep up the good work

Rellik · 04-10-2008

good stuff man i love the bionics

SteveBerenyi · 04-10-2008

well, aside from what has been said, i ask this, how much bionics will you be using in this squad?

then i say this: if it were me, i'd add some rust (use a brown drybrush followed by a LIGHT red drybrus) to the bionics.

I've got an example somewhere. i'll post up a pic later.

JoeGuardsman · 04-10-2008

I never really put stuff up before because I only yesterday discovered photobucket. The bruising I have techniques for and will do. I'd like to take a look at the rusting/antiquating on the bionics and I need help getting a subdued energy effect on the plasma. I love bionics but it is hard to find models that have them. The rest of the squad is going to be old Orlock gangers I haven't picked exactly which ones yet.

Colonel Marbi Chora · 04-10-2008

Brutal? Okay then.

Your pictures are blurry. Other than that, however, I can't see anything bad. Just make sure they have beautiful bases as well!

BrainDeleted · 04-10-2008

Hit up the Iron Hands models GW made a while back. There are legs and such you could make use of!

I'm liking where this is going, Joe.

I agree with the wookie. Perhaps a little purple/red around the bionics?

SteveBerenyi · 04-16-2008

ok, finally took a pic:

The Figure:

The Rust in close up:

and yes, that redish-brown is what i was talking about.

Rellik · 04-24-2008

ohhh night goblin very nice!

Irish1642 · 04-25-2008

they look good, just add a little character to the weapons and the bionics and you should be golden

JoeGuardsman · 05-12-2008

Here is an update. New guy. I call him Cortez because of his swarthy Latin looks. I added bruising around the bionics and washed the bionics in tin bits then brightened up the outside areas. I painted some warning marks on the Missile Launcher and did a blue coil for the plasma pistol. The blue isn't as glowy as it was after I put wash on it and I might have to brighten it up.

Brother Warchild · 05-12-2008

Those look really good bud,the bionics look even better now.

Chaos Lord Horus · 05-12-2008

very good

Rellik · 05-12-2008

cool looking stuff!

Templar Mikeel · 05-12-2008

Fething great work! Painting the barrel(inside) of the missile launcher might be worth looking into.

Colonel Marbi Chora · 05-12-2008

awesome bionic bruising, hopefully i'll see it in White Dwarf!
