Thanks ^^

It always struck me as odd to have that arm holding a hammer like that, the way it does on in the box. Rather make something good out of it.

That's one of the few things I actually have to look into. But I'm postponing it each time, lol.

6 more models until I have 6 squads full, then... I'll probably do all bases at once.

Thanks though

I know how that goes, think I had around 40 tactical/vets before I decided they needed their bases finished

It's an "official" Space marines chapter, but thanks anyway

Thanks

I'm quite happy how he turned out. Making black not look too flat was a challenge. Yes, I could do with extreme highlighting and all, but I rather just keep the surfaces a bit lighter instead of the edges.

Yes, painting black and making it look good is rather difficult. I'm still experimenting around myself with different techniques.

What I did was a full cover of Adeptus Battlegrey (old GW range foundation; so you might need to look into the new ones), then did a full Nuln oil wash. Let it dry. Then dillute Chaos black (guess the substitute now is Abaddon black) and dillute that and trace the corners and recesses a bit to let that sink in. Eventually do another full on black wash afterwards.

I found that Battlegrey combined with a few black washes gives a rather smooth "not entirely black but really dark greyish tone".
