Tiny Yellow Men

[Splatter Paint]

Good morning one and all.

After collecting space marines for almost 12 years, I thought it high time to get some painted. So, after stripping about 5000 points of dark angels, I decided I finally would attempt the ONE chapter that always appealed to me. Imperial Fists.

After a good amount of test models, I've finally settled on a technique that takes my fancy, and well, have a look at the results:

[Darren Richardson]

Nice I like the weathered look to them.

[Splatter Paint]

I'm quite happy with the weathering. Never liked the clean and crisp look for warriors. It's just not right.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

I never ever ever ever get tired of the paint chipping effect, it just makes stuff look so much better, more brutal and more warlike to me.

Let's just hope I can keep it up. Got 2 whole battle companies with assorted vehicles to paint. Haha.

[Lord Commissar Maxwell]

Looking great! I look forward to seeing the rest.

I know what you mean.....

I've got an entire Company waiting for the weather to improve so I can basecoat it with spray cans......

Not to mention the equivelent sized force of other assorted marines as well......

More updates to come soon!

Very happy Splatter today, as someone made on of my wargaming wishes come true. Since I started playing wargames, there have been a few armies that I have always wanted to own. Not because of the fact that they are competative or what not, but because of the way they look. Today I managed to finally break into the army I've had on number one since I was about 15 years old. ( Im 27, going on 28 soon, so that means something to me. ) The Vostroyan Firstborn.

Then today, someone traded me this:

-2 platoon command squads
-5 Infantry squads all with flamers,3 with heavy bolters and 2 mortars
-1 spare lascannon team
-3 snipers
-2 company commanders with power fists
-2 company commanders with plasma pistols and power swords
-1 spare sergeant and 1 trooper
-8 plasma gun troopers



So they will be collected sometime during the next few days, and every now and then expect one of these bad boys to sneak it's way into the blog, most likely in in a ellow great coat.

D: That's like over 200 models, right?

I'd be having nightmares about painting yellow after that.
