simple, but neat paintjob. now, finish it!

I will

Pod is finished, just need to work on the battle damage now.
Will post pics of the one with battle damage done once I'll have it completed.

I've just found this thread
these guys look brill - congrats!

Thanks Demi

Little pics of those guys with the bases they're gonna have and the finished pod (still without battle damage) and also some closer pics of the maps inside (and as you'll notice is very simple/basic/ugly on a close point of view)

Bases of the marines are the Fire & Brimstone ones from Forgecraft Games

They got FW shoulder pads, a few bitz from FW aswell (chainsword and power fist on the sergeant) and they'll receive the same bases than the sternguard

Worked a bit on testing the lave painting on the bases, though, I'm not really satisfied on the results. What do you think guys? Are they real bad? okish? good to trash?

These are only test to see if I could manage to get through the tutorial with an okish result.
Right bottom one has been painted a little bit differently. Same colors but mixed while the previous layer wasn't dry yet

Also, I have only worked on the lava, not on the stone texture, thus everything is black and a little bit shiny

Also, it seems that the photo is looking better than what I got in real

Highlights and shadow are done, gonna start working on rest

oh, so they will be green, right?

Lava bases on the photo look good. The bottom right lacks white highlights.
The new squad - did you choose the green to be brighter?
