Also, White is the worst god drat colour to paint with and i hate myself for choosing High Elves as an army.

Honestly I never contemplated painting white for the short time that I painted High Elves. I'd go with a different complimentary color to the blue and go from there. Maybe a lighter blue, or even brown? I'm thinking either Space Wolf Grey/Ice Blue or Khemri Brown here.



VVV White

So, I got a couple of gaunts and genestealers from bhsman on Friday, painted them up simply on Sunday, and stuck googly eyes on them this afternoon. I couldn't be happier. I swiped my friend's Hive Tyrant to start painting to add to the mix. He said he would kind of like something in exchange for it. I told him he could have a fully painted Hive Tyrant with googly eyes. :v:

Hells yea :c00l: Can't wait to see how they turned out. What scheme did you end up going with?

My brother called dibs on this but, gently caress it, he's never going to do it and I want to see it done. I want someone to do a Raptor Chapter Marines army using the Space Wolf codex. Use these guys Make the cav either marines on those guys or Cold Ones and make the wolf pack those guys.

That's crazy, you're crazy. Crazy. I'd recommend these if only because: A) They're plastic and therefore easier to work with, B) They have a harness sculpted on already, and C) Your reaper dinos look a little too spindly to be carrying Space Marines around on. Well, neither are Cold Ones, but you get the point. :v:

Also Maggie is going to be pissed that more people are starting counts-as Space Wolves. :smug:

I painted that one Raptor Chapter marine and decided if I was ever going to paint marines, that would be the one I would do. But then I realized that my true 40K love was the one I started with, bugs. Especially with googly eyes. I painted a handful of them this week and they make me so happy every time I see them.

They say every time you post about one's own googly-eye'd Nids on the internet without posting pictures, a small child drops his ice cream cone on the dirty ground. You monster. :colbert:

You could paint them in generic Inquisitional colors (dark red and black). Might contrast well with the lighter color of the Sisters

Quick colo(u)r question-

Alpha Legion, basically slightly darker ultramarines with silver trim, Weapons are currently black, grey highlights. I need an accent/interesting bits colour, I was initially thinking red, but :argh: crimson fists, so how about green? Too close to blue? Should I stick with black?

It'll be things like powerfists etc.

I've seen people make a slightly thick wash made from a bright green (like Scorpion or Goblin Green) and wash it in the recesses, like people do with hawk turquoise to give a rust effect. Looks really cool when done right.

Well, the inks themselves are acrylic-based, and they pretty well behave like pre-thinned down paints. They mix well for tinting other colors (the grey on the basing of those sisters is just FW White and FW black), go where they're drawn, and dry smooth.

Sounds pretty awesome. Doesn't it have some pretty excellent coverage, too?

I haven't experience with those, but you should know that Chapterhouse Studios is about to go into production of their own bioblades - honestly both versions look good, just wanted you to know about the choices!

Not that I play Tyranids or anything, but if I did I'd probably go with Chapterhouse as well; Maxmini's usually pretty awesome at sculpts but theirs look like giant anime swords and need to be converted to fit onto the arms.

I will say though that CH's Lash Whips are lookin' pretty :wtc:
