Hi,

Yep, beautiful marine and beautiful base... Totally agree with Terrafirma, looks like an alien planet.

Many thanks,
Mariano.

I'm totally loving it. I have a strong preference towards worn marines.

Damn, that's a great marine. Love the shading and tone.

 

[Scherdy]

Thanks all. Means a lot coming from you all. Here's better pictures.

Great paint job!

I think this is the first time I link a "Space Marine" with its "obvious" alien surroundings. (Green prairies and red toothpick plants (old white dwarfs battleplans) don't make me link them to the space and extraterrestrial atmosphere)

If I had to vote for him in the gallery I would give him a nine or a ten ^^

Love him. I like the desaturated color too. i see a lot of bright green SOM, but he's nicely balanced

Been looking through your WIP and you've come a long way. That marine is awesome! As others have already mentioned - the landscape you've created for him is very effective. I also like the weathering you've put into him - it gives the mini history so he doesn't look shiny and fresh.

Love the greens againt's the reds on the base, good work!

Happy birthday!

The marine looks great by the way. =)

Have been playing Imperial Assault with a group of non-painter friends. I offered to paint up our characters so a pretty quick job but it makes the game much more visually fun. Plus, we all know blasters and lightsabers are more accurate when wielded by painted Rebels.

The better news is, my buddy asked for me to put together a few paints and a brush or two for him to start basecoating the other figs for me to finish up and save me some time. Next think I knew he was watching youtube videos and asking questions about washes and glazes.

I will convert him to the dark side! Join me, and together we can rule the...sorry. I'm going to try to get him to paint with me

 

[Meph]

Ah, Imperial Assault, great, nail-biting game!

 

[Canny]

Fantastic, the SOM is awesome. Love the rebels too they are great. A decent paint job in a game makes it so much more fun!

 

[Zab]

Love those

 

[Maenas]

Really cool, it must be superfun using them in a game. (compared to play with grey plastic miniatures...) Second from left is my favourite.

 

[ten ball]

Fantastic

 

[Kretcher]

Nice rebells and a nice game also. Please do turn him to the dar... I painting side.

/K

I've been away for a while and really missed some great stuff here. Hope I can check back in a little more frequently and stay inspired. Here's a dump of random stuff I've finished and some I haven't yet

Missed you all!

Space marine is the most recent thing I've tried painting. Attempting to paint a little like Arkaitz Pérez Vallecillo's stuff but always fun to try someone else's techniques even if it doesn't turn out the same right?

 

[Meph]

Lovely stuff all round, mate. A,nd indeed it's fun to play around with materials.
