Thought I'd load some stuff of what I work with when I game... various stages of completion, so don't get wrung up about no highlights or whatever. My WIP Rough Riders - Using Star Wars BARC speeders and lances from VOID 1.1 Sandrunners boxed set My only green Chimera (I have six in a desert scheme for a project) Green & Grey standard Guardsmen, I field about 60 or so of them to support my Daemonhunters army. Some of the Assault & Spec Weaps And lastly, my slightly converted Grey Knight Dreadnought (still needs a few details.)

rough riders - excellent ones:) you MUST submit photos when they'll be done!!! guardsmen - very, very good painting, though basic colours are too dark (highlights are good, i just don't like the set of green and grey) spec weaps - plasma is done very good, rest - nice poses:)

For these guys, I *wanted* to go with a little on the dark side for the basic colors. They are over two years old, and I was also experimenting at that time with an extremely dark wash as well. It was a quick-style of painting I was trying out to get some done and on the table at tabletop standards for my own use.
In fact, they are even darker in person than the pics show, it's a pic under non-ideal lighting situations, but, there ya go.

I'm LOVING your rough riders man! I still remember that chase scene in Return of the Jedi and thinking in retrospect, I can easily see Guardsmen rushing in for the attack like that.
The detailing on your Guardsmen are impeccable! I wish I could paint that well. Also, the posing on your assault troopers is great. Keep it up man!

cadian117,
You know, I really don't appreciate your tone....
JK, don't worry about it, I completely understand, I've seen my share of paint jobs that hit me the same way...

Nice minis mate! What about your current project (Marines landing battallion)? Like to see them!

Great!! I can't wait to see that! Did I tell you that your paintjob is very nice?? I like your use of ink (if I right..) on your minis...If not ink I would be glad to know how you have done this effect on your troopers...
