Here are Captain Papillon and Sergeant Bullitt (saving the name of Jake Holman for the Terminator leader).
I'm not good at free-hand lettering, so left off any clever writing on the scroll of the Captain's banner. I did try my hand at painting those electrical currents on the sword.
Still need to get some nice flocking material for the bases - rubble and possibly skulls would be in order. I will take a group photo once I flock all of the bases - including the previously painted Space Marine troops.
Can not believe you have gone over to the dark side :)
ReplyDeleteNever done much for me 40k but hope you have fun
Peace James
LOL! Thanks, James. Appreciate your kind words in spite of the shock of my new endeavor. :) Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteP.S. This will likely not last - I'm practically over Warhammer Fantasy already.
Love the lightening effect. They look great. Lots going on Witt the sculpts, which is very GW.
ReplyDeleteGreat Dean , love the colors .
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Lovely work, great colors Dean!
ReplyDeleteComing along very nicely indeed. Loving the themed naming convention too!
ReplyDeleteHats off to you for such a big changeup in painting style. I love it!
ReplyDeleteOut of curiosity, what put you off WH Fantasy? As I was following you here, I was getting a hankering for fantasy as a break from all my historical.
This is really nice work, very tidy indeed.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Really good looking figures. Nice technique with the detailing on the sword.
ReplyDeleteregards,
Matt
Thanks for the great comments, Gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteI found the "lightning" effect on this site http://dukesinferno.blogspot.com/2011/06/power-weapon-week-how-to-do-lightning.html
Pretty straightforward technique, with decent results.
@ Monty - I dunno, not the rules or the figures at all - still like them and will continue to play them. But, I suppose I needed a slight change in painting projects. That said, I have a unit of the newer Hangunners to paint up - picked them up intending to use some to man the airship.
Warm Regards to all, Dean
You really are flying with the new 40K miniatures, tremendous work Dean.
ReplyDeleteI like the gritty, desaturated feel.
