Assault on Black Reach preview! The first army!!!

first time painting miniatures?
I must say that your Orks looks nice, and the checkerboard pattern is very well executed.

Thanks!
yup. First time painting.
I love doing details and stuff. hard work, but very satisfying (and addicting).

That's actually quite good for a first timer.

nice! way better than my first minis! keep it up!

Nice work and pics, esp. just starting out! Well done

yeah way better than when i first started... mine look horrid!

nice work rkidz.. love them orkses. Nicely done with them marines to. keep up the good work.

hoho...... I'm so motivated now.....
can't wait to buy my next army and start painting again! yeah!
(necron battleforce? I'm on it!)

hahaha... just wondering what army are you intending to collect here rkidz.

I'm gonna collect as many army as I can (gotta catch them all!)
But I think I want to play as the Necrons....
Cool, deathless, terminator-like zombie warmachine........

awesome.. more undead machines

@rkidz-kun: DUDE! 3 weeks ago and it's done @..@ you sure assemble/paint fast! I got my raptors 2 weeks ago and only one painted..LOL

Ditto on the checker pattern on orkz, it's kinda nice =D

You should consider invest/experiment abit on washes, apply it on one or two marines, the recess line will be clearer and your marine and orkz will shine more ^^ Give it a shot if budget allows man! (or barring that, you can try to water down your Chaos Black as a substitute of wash, just apply it casually on the recess, you will see the details pop)

Have fun dude!

edit : lurk around your blog, doh! you had applied wash! LOL, then its time for you to do some highlight on the edge..LOL

First timer.. seriously.. Those Orkses looks good!

Woo hoo! Nice job rkidz! Fantastic first try.

Me ... I am a real slowpoke. Bought my ABOR set seven months ago (or more ... ) and just started work on them.

.. 3 years.. Mumble mumble mumble.. he took 3 weeks.. mumble mumble..

@yip: he reminds me of my K3 partner..able to paint stuff in large amounts very fast..

yip can paint fast also... the only problem is he needs motivation & some focus. Post its on your personal blog so people can comment and give advice... the most constructive advice you will get is from Vuel..

Going by my pace, I may even take longer than 3 years. After about 7-8 months and I am only near completion (painting-wise) to one measly Ultramarine Terminator. But I undercoated lots of models. Does that count? Heh heh ... Sigh

woh.... nice good job esp on your first run

if you want to you could use the army painter dips to pull more detail into your models you can test it out on one marine and one orc and see how it comes out.

then spray with the matte spray so that it does not look so darn glossy.

I think that will definitely make the model stand out a lot more and with very little to no extra work too

Actually, I'm more surprised you took 3 years...geez, that's like UBER-LONG!

Wow? seriously? I thought pro like you all take a shorter time than me.

But seriously, It looks a pretty sloppy to me........ I'm trying to retouch up most of them now....

And also, thanks for the painting advice guys! I really mean it.
