I am not a great painter. My love for the hobby is more for the game play and converting minis. However, I did manage to get the core of my Steel Brethren painted. I'll warn you, I am no Heavy Metal painter... not even close. Still, it felt good to get some color on them.

I waited a minute for the picture to load (I saw a lot of white)...then I realized it was a pretty big pic.
 I'd suggest resizing it so it can fit a bit better.Steel Brethren have always interested me so it is cool to see some. I look forward to seeing your conversions as well! I want to see what you do for your Obliterators. As for painting may I suggest a wash for their armor? -------------------- |

I did do some black washing on the armor, but not so much as to lose the brightness of the armor. The flash bleached out some of wash effect. But I agree, some additional black wash in the creases would help. As soon as the whole army is tabletop ready, I will go back and touch up.

I'd agree with hushrong that there needs to be some more inking or something done to that silver. Also I think the DP's wings should be a different color, perhaps a really dark color to contrast the silver, make it pop out more if you will. A pleasant start to a IW army if I might say so.

A good start but like the others said some washes or inks to add more depth to the models.

Working on some Obliterator conversions. You can read about them here.
 So, how much green stuff should I add? -------------------- Tempered Steel

A lot. You have to keep in mind that the Oblitz are infected by a virus and would be mutated and such. So a lot of GS I think is needed. You've got a good solid base but I would add a lot of GS and possibly some claws onto the power fist to give it more of the chaos feel.

really like the red loincloth on the prince and the choice of colour on the prince as a whole.
