The buzz cut look on the infinity model is really good man... how did you do that?

[Seb]

Agree with Badruck, nice cut there.

Wow..

It's really simple. Mix some grey in with the flesh tone and carefully apply it to the head. (The model is meant to be bald). The Warmahordes Mechanik on the right has the same technique applied in a "Picard" style, though its not really visible in the picture.
I also use the same trick for stubble.

You could also use a brown shade as well, or even do two or three layers if you want it to look really rugged.

Ian says you did an awesome job on our infinity models!

[me_in_japan]

i second badrucks comment on the stubble effect. Its absolutely bang-on. I must try that next time I paint a bald bloke. Probly not an eldar tho. They dont really do...stubble. (but on an exodite...hmmmmmnnnnn.)

Not such a great picture, but here's my first foray into FoW:



Clearly I need to work on my static grass technique (tonight's lesson learned: don't try to apply static grass in a room with a fan running), but aside from that I'm pretty pleased. They paint up nicely! At this rate, I should have my first platoon done in time to order a second with my August paycheck. (knock on wood, of course)

Cool, thet look like a bunch of happy soldiers.

Looking good TOD. I can't wait to meet them on the tabletop.

I'd also recommend against leaving the window open.

Looks like you've made a good start.

Part of the long journey that is my Hawk Lord's wood elf army.

My first Treekin. A bit rough around the edges, but I am happy enough
