Start of the IF banner, going for a desaturated red look. I'll smooth out everything and give another round of shadows and highlights before starting on the freehand.

I started a blog the other day out of boredom, and I just tried to write my first step by step. It's on my Brogan piece and can be seen here if anyone wants to check it out and see if it makes any sense.

Nice little blog Flu nicely done . I want a step by step on your imperial fist next .

Ha, unfortunately that mini was mostly trial and error, I wouldn't know how to begin a step by step for that.

But speaking of tutorials, Siren Miniatures put out a tut by Piotr Czajka aka dexterzg for this piece. It's pretty informative. http://sirenminiatures.com/news/greid-painting-tutorial

Thanks guys. Tomorrow I'll try to clean it up a little and maybe start on the much more involved front half.

In other news, I was doing general prep work on the two new marine guys I received and noticed something different. These guys are the new sculpts and came with the 32mm bases, they're also larger. Almost like GW is going true scale with Space Marines. The legs are longer, the torso slightly elongated and less bulky and the arms are smaller, like they're actually proportionate to humans.

I know the 32mm base thing started with the recent Blood Angels release, are the squad guys larger as well or is it just the characters to make them look more imposing and important?

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret project of mine, let me know what you think. Keep in mind, this is very early stage WIP.

God questions about the sm. The ones you got are they Forge world? Who are they? They look pretty cool.

Your project is looking pretty cool, feels templar-ish.

The first picture is regular GW the second is Forge World.

And that guy doesn't feel very much any more
