Default WIP Guardsman

Hello all,

Tried to experiment a bit with gloss, thought this turned out well.
I've lightened the photos a bit in photoshop, if you'd like the unedited version, i'll post them on request.











C&C Welcome. ;D

Nice looking guardsmen AC! . Now I think the glossy army looks slighty out of place as it is flak armor... but that's my opinion and what matters is what you like as they are YOUR models . However, the painting quality is [i]very[i] good. The blending on the red armor looks great as well as your.. hmm layering? on the cloth looks very good also.

Great Mini!

Well, my entire army won't be painted like this. I was just trying out the gloss.

Thanks for the compliments!

1. You painting these is ALOT better than much of the previous stuff i've seen of yours, good work with that one.

2. The scheme is brilliant, I might do my guardsmen like that (if i dont do them yellow i was going to)

3. Keep the gloss, it makes the armor look like glass finished (Vitrians (sp?) from Gaunts Ghosts have glass armor). I love it.
