You could always just take a little gs and fill in the grooves.

The lower leg "muscles" also look pretty bad too. Easier to just swap completely.

Also just noticed the lightning effect on the official painted models. Best lightning effect

All I see is a pseudo-shin definition. Muscle definition would be on the back of the lower leg if anywhere, and I'm not seeing it.

Just bought these. I want to make them look like chaos marines but don't know where to begin. Should I start hacking and filing off the purity seals and blood drops? Or keep the gems on? I'm thinking the paint scheme will be Angels of Ecstasy, like this



which is a poo poo picture, so I redid it on painter



So, what do you guys think? Worth the trouble? What chaos bits should I tack on? I'm tempted just to use a bunch of the possessed bits, or should I have the corruption be more subtle?

You know that color make it look like you've got a bunch of naked dudes running around right?

Which is Slaanesh as gently caress. I'm torn between pink and purple though. I don't plan on using these models in game.

I picked up an anglepoise knockoff in a charity shop for £2, added a 60w Daylight bulb for £2, now nothing in my house looks right 'cause I spend so much time under that thing.

WIP farseer, couldnt get the photo properly lit so it's not as bright as it should be, the armor edge highlights still need another coat though. I'm also kinda unhappy with the midsection, just looks messy and i dont know how to make it look better.. a bit of backlining perhaps?




I'm rather regretting using enchanted blue, I keep trying on different schemes but everytime I get a dark gw blue it goes on dark as hell even over white. I had to really cover the legs in highlights to get them up brighter, and the torso is still almost black except. I just can't ever get it to not look dull and flat. Still, more work to do on it I guess, just not happy with it at the moment. anyway what I'm really after is colour ideas for the head and flame, I don't want the seer council to exactly match the other units so i'm trying to stay away from white/orange, maybe a dark warm gray with a white faceplate? For the flame a bright/yellow orange might be enough contrast to the more reddish armor but what about whitish blue or green? Cloak probably also needs a thin sepia wash to blend the highlighted areas together, looks really really harsh in the photo

This is going to sound really nerdy, but I have to ask. Last night I was watching CSI with the missus & she pointed something out to me - one of the lab dudes had a little pistol-grip 2 part epoxy gun that made a soft red rubber when set. It'd be ideal for a number of little jobs I've got planned, does anyone know of a product like this irl?
