(My vote is blue for plasma and power - traditional and nicely contrasting to boot!)

^ this. Aside from that one little thing , he looks wicked.

And, the "just to be a pill" comment:

Now you just have to paint 40-odd more of 'em! :D

@Prim - Yeah blue would be better :) Blue and yellow are always a good mix according to the colour wheel :D MiJ is rubbing off on me :D

@Spev - Thanks for the support

@The Other Dave - I went back and did a black line around the eyes. My problem was I had a shaky hand the other day. I guess I had too much coffee. Oh, and 37 more to go :lol:

I am getting better each time, but I really need iyanden darksun for the yellow :cry: Yellow submarine don't have any paints anymore, so I will have to go to Ikeda San, which is a good thing except that he is not available right when you need him. I also have so many things to work on, highlighting with nicer transitions, wet blending, drybrushing...it goes on and on.

y'know - they actually look like they might actually be proper military types. Unlike, say, the ultramarines, to whom "camoflage" means putting a twig on your bright blue suit of armour and posing like a tree...

I have to concur. I think the yellow and gold both go well with the desert khaki.

Ahh... very good, but you are going to need more stones to put them all on soon. :D

BTW, did you work in the battle damage on the shoulder pad of the one in the middle?

Is that freehand? If so - props and respec' - it's nice and neat. Also, if it is, are you fully prepared to hate that logo with a venom and passion you have never before experienced? cos if you have to freehand that bugger on every single shoulder pad of your marine army, you' s gonna go mad, I tells yer :mrgreen:

*note* Ive never tried it myself, but I hear tell you can get printable transfer sheets, whereby you stick em in the printer and print out your water-slide transfers. Could be a goer, if that logo isnt already a transfer...
