Yay, finally pictures! Somethings are clearly not finished yet but I'm happy with how everything currently looks and I'm not ashamed to play them looking like this. This weekend I should have all of my vehicles painted in base colour then I can get to work on the details of them.

Still have to dry brush all my infantry, and I have to wash half of them and my Crisis suits then dry brush those too before doing the final detail bits. (Eyes, Gun lights, other lights. Not using LED lights.)

Here's the albums.

Tell me what you think! (No I wont go lighter on my space wolves grey, I like it looking thick.)

quite nice, for starter, but needs more dakka... or rather big guns, one railgun is not enough

I plan on adding another firewarrior squad around thursday and getting all of my vehicles based in the Space Wolves grey.

This weekend is the Fantasy tourney as my local store so I'll stay home and paint all weekend! Then I'll get some more pictures of my vehicles.


I'm not sure if I should use washes on them or not? Or if I should do something similar to dry brushing.. Any thoughts?

You could try a thin wash of watered down chaos black or chaos black mixed with Badab black and let that run through the lines separating the panels of the armour of your models.

Or you could get a fine liner with a very, very thin tip and trace the panels instead. wink

I really like the off-white on your Devilfish, it brings out the curvature very nicely!
I'd suggest doing a bit of a camo paint scheme on them, something very, very light. Hell, you could probably mix some Neutral Grey and Dove Grey and paint thin Tiger Stripes!

Agree! The color scheme is very good, so start focusing on the detailwork, because that's what really pulls a good paint scheme together. If you trace out the lines between the panels, it helps to make it look like the paint wasn't just slapped on in one quick coat, I generally try to avoid having one color span un-interrupted over multiple surfaces.
