Tell me about your painting technique, I'm interested to know what you do. I saw some metal poking through on the striking scorpions i believe. Do you use primer? Your flocking looks fantastic not to much nor to little.

Blind - I think that's metallic paint on the chainblades.

My method for all these has been the same so far (just different colors). I primed the models white, wash the model with an appropriate color, dry brush an appropriate color, then pick out a few details (bone for the guns, silver on the chain blades, red on the plume, etc). I glue the models to the bases then add ballast. Paint that earth and dry brush bone. Water down some wood glue, dab a couple of spots for one flock and repeat for the other.

It is a simple process. I am a fan of simple. I am happy with the results so far. I hope as I start on some bigger models that it continues to work as well.

Two new stands done. I'm not sure if I like the camo on the rangers. The heavy weapon team looks good. There isn't any white on the platform, but it still looks good.

What do you think of these?

I think the boots and helmet should be different colors. Try charcoal on the boots and bone on the helmet

Jimmy, are you reffering to the rangers? I thought about doing their helmets white like the guardians. It will give them more color. Their guns are bone so probably won't use that on the helmets.
