    Overdosing on the chipped paint effect just makes them look messy rather than artfully damaged.

    Nice stuff, but feels a bit filler-ish, like the last lot.

    As a side-note, I keep seeing people (on here and other places) say the paintjobs are bad - I don't consider myself a particularly good painter at all, so I don't "see" what is bad about them? (they look fine fine to me..) anyone want to explain their reasons? (honestly curious here)

    Great models but----I think the reason some say naughty things about the paint job is possibly the overuse of the 'salt' weathering/damage technique. This is where granular salt crystals are applied before spraying the final colour coat. Used sparsely it can be a very effective system but a lot of the FW models seem to have had a salt cellar upended over them! We have to remember that these are the Adeptus Astartes, they spend a lot of time over wargear rites and artificer repairs. Doubt they'd go into battle looking like a rust bucket! Yeah, I know were talking the Hersesy here but they have not yet turned fully down the Chaos route at this stage. They'd still be looking after there armour only without the mention of the Emperor when they were doing maintenance.

    I think they are fine personally, they are better than mine. the robed apothecary in there is interesting too, and the fancy boarding shield on the emperors champion

    Well, you can see it on the Jetbikes largely.

    Those auto cannons may be the cheapest way to get them in bulk. I'm thinking even CSM players will pick up that set as it will produce WAY better looking auto cannon Havocs.
