My Marines

Hey here are some pics of my marines taken about a year ago


Predator


Assault Marine


Marine


Scout Sniper

Haha Idk why they all like got zoomed and enlarged

Might just be the pics, but they look a little monotone. Maybe give them a coat of wash. What chapter are they, btw?

thanks for suggestion ya they are my own chapter I call them the Sons of Apollo so ya what color wash do you think?

I'd go with Badab Black, since the predominant colors are Black and Grey. Maybe just a touch of Gryphonne Sepia would look good on the Predator's lights too.

ok thanks ill do that and also all the marines have their left shoulder pad painted mechrite red so ya that breaks up the blahness alot too

Cool. There's a wash called Baal Red that might work nicely on those shoulder pads too.

ok thanks I'll pick up some ball red then also the eyes are not yellow anymore I just use dark angels green on them

I picked up baal red today at the bunker and tried it out. I did 2 coats of wash on each marines mechrite shoulder pad. It doesn't make a ton of difference to me other then it being a bit darker I'm going to add 1 more heavy coat tonight and do a coat of Badab Black on all the Black and I'm not sure if I should on the gray so suggestions are welcome. I also did 1 coat of Gryphonne Sepia on the Predator head lights and It came out good although I forgot to take pictures of the tank.

When you're applying the wash, concentrate on the edges between the shoulder pad and the grey trim. That's where you want it to be a bit darker, so that's where you want the most wash. Just make sure you don't put so much that it spills out onto the grey! Speaking of grey, a watered-down wash of Badab Black wouldn't hurt it.

Ok so I will do 1 more coat of red and then for black I will do a little on gray and then should I even do it on rest of model I don't see point of putting black wash on black haha so give your suggestions and thanks asrodrig!
