Up to now i have only painted two units so this will be updated very slowly but surely.... im not the most pro active painter tbh. lol

All C&C is welcome. be as harsh or as nice as you want.

I kinda like how these turned out...

These on the other hand im not too sure of... I made the mistake of not cleaing up the mould lines and all of the drybrushing came out chalky.... you win some you loose some I guess

Oh, and just for the sake of it. heres my workspace.... (the pic is slightly out of date now though....)

lol. I knew that would come up. My theory is that since Gene steelers are generally formed over generations in the sewers under city's through generations of breeding they would not necessarily take on the same colours of the fleet that they call to the planet. So with that in mind Ive decided to make them slightly skin coloured. Some are gonna be brown. Some will even be blue-ish if I decide its a planet of tau and human sympathizers.

Thank you very much. The gaunts have quite a few layers on them but im not entirely sure they all show through.

The layers go as follows...

Tallarn flesh base
Heavy 50/50, bleached bone/ Tallarn flesh drybrush
undiluteed ogryn flesh wash
heavy bleached bone drybrush
50/50 ogryn flesh/water wash
slightly heavy bleached bone drybrush
a lighter drybrush of 50/50 bleached bone/ skull white
a very light drybrush of skull white for highlights

yeah im not a big fan of the steelers either tbh. I cant get them to look finished and I dont think the mould lines I was too lazy to get rid of helps them either. I think the black claws might be too out of contrast with the skin, or maybe its the other way around? On the next few I will try using browns instead. if that works better i might do em all like that. I Think I will just do groups of 8 in different colours and see which turns out best.

PS - Theres nout wrong with a bit of organisation

I agree, they dont look finished, thats my problem.

Course theres nothing wrong with organization, I'm just jealous because my paint station doesnt look anything like that!

I am indeed missing alot of McNiel. Im just concentrating on the HH, Gaunts and Imp Guard books at the moment though. But to be honest, im just hoping there is another ciaphas cane novel.

PS - Also, thanks for the compliments on both the work space and the nids. Im currently building a pyramid shelving system to compact the amount of space the paints take up.

Really nice looking Gaunts. You put a lot of work into their carapace and it shows.

If I may make a suggestion for your Genestealers, I agree with you that they look unfinished. Perhaps if you painted the plates on the heads and the flat bits on the back the same manner of that you have painted the claws and talons it may break up the expanse of pink and give them a more finished look.

Great job over all and I'm jealous of your neatly organized work space. I cannot wait to see more!

Since it is through language that we think, it is language that limits us.
