Militarum Tempestus Scions

[kdude498]

So this is my MTS unit of Scions and a Taurox Prime! I'd like advice on things that could make them better and overall painting tips on what I can do to improve.
**note** I realize I did forget to paint the headlights on the Taurox...whoops...

First off their pretty well painted. Very neat and tidy work. And the fact that you got the edging highlights speaks volumes about your well accomplished brush control. What IDE say for some helpful tips would be - the edging highlights are a bit too thick. Remeber for next time to keep them as sharp and tight as possible by just running the body of the brush perpendicular to the edge being highlighted. This will keep the lines produced as thick only as the edge allows never bleeding into any of the other areas outside the edge . Another thing I can add is remeber when you shade to exaggerate the shading . If your using GW washes then add about 4-5 maybe more applications str8 from the jar making sure each dries before the next application. This will eventually build up darker and darker... The trick if you think it's dark enough them go EVEN darker!
hope this helps. Great job.

Thank you for that advice and compliments! I tried to add more contrast to this then I did my space marine model that I posted last (in accordance to the advice I was given there). I will add more now with the shades. Regarding the thick highlights. I've contemplated doing I thicker highlight with a darker highlight, then doing progressively thinner highlights forwards the edge, working up to an extreme highlight. Afterwards I would glaze the entire highlight complex. Would this blend the layers of highlight together making a smooth gradual effect?
