ok, i have decided to pluck up the courage to post my rather embarrassing pics cos they suck, my painting first off really looked crappy wif my scheme but now its getting to a half crappy half alright stage.

If i hear language such as 'they suck' again....you'll be in front of the front line fishki....understood.

They are good looking models. Actually they look like they ae painted more cleanly than mine lol and the colour scheme is great

[knight (M.I.A)]

Agreed. They look really good

The stripes are somthing unique that personally I haven't seen much and I think they work well, good job.

[thefishki345]

cool, thanks for the positive feedback, my friend thinks they look crap but thanks

[Deleted]

Keep positive dude there quite good. You know it takes me a week to paint 1 Karskin and thats a quick model, your doing really well fishki!

[BobaHat]

Nice colour scheme. They look great! Looking forward to seeing more pics.

[thefishki345]

well thanks for the feedback, thoose guys where like the only half decent ones in my army all my others were pretty bad, but you may see more when i get another shadow grey paint and post them for the paintoff

[Commissar]

Hmm.
I like the kasrkin the most, I personally dont like stripes because they hardly ever look good on models, however yours turned out nicely done, very clean and neat painting.
Love the guy with the smurf pistol btw.

[thefishki345]

thx, yeah the stripes dont look good, you guys dont all have to pretend you like them.

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

the stripes seem hit and miss (some models have one strip, others have alot). I'd make a consistant number of stripes on each model so that it felt like they were wearing mass produced fatigues which were all made from the same patterned cloth (provided en masse). I'd also break up the stripes between garments. if you have a stripe coming diagonally down the front of a troopers blouse, stop the stripe where the blouse ends. start the stripe at a different place on the pants. this'll make the stripes feel like they're specific to the garment they're apart of and add alot to the realism of the striping effect on the cloth. I think with a little tweaking it could look really good and not like 'diagonal stripes of white painted on a model'

[thefishki345]

yeah, true, well idk i did it like that to make it more random, and i just liked the idea of the stripes continuing all along the model but you are right, they look gay.

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

I wouldn't say they look terrible, but they could be done in a more realistic fashion is all I'd like to see one done up with stripes v2.0

[thefishki345]

yeah, well i just got my new shadow grey paint and finally i got chaos black so yeah they will hopefully look alot better.

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

they don't look that bad to begin with bud you've definately got some quality in the tabletop level paintjob if you ask me master the white stripes and you'll have some really nice looking minis!

[thefishki345]

haha, thats the plan.

[Woz]

Give them a going over with a black wash. Itl'l make a lot of difference.

Also the way that clothes are made means that a stripe on the jacket wouldn't follow onto the trousers.

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

yeah that's what I was trying to get at

[thefishki345]

yeah true.
