Orionjp Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I painted these 2 before painting my Ultra Marine Captain. The bases are less ornate. The Howling Banshee is a regular mini, not exarch, the Striking Scorpion is the exarch. They are also slightly older minis, not the current ones. Remember they are for an army, not for strictly display, so they are painted to be uniform with other minis, not stand out, so you see lots of the same color, I did that on purpose. Hope you like them. The Howling Banshee I wanted to appear that she has bone armor and weapons, thus all the white. The light again isn't that great, so some detail looks less impressive. The Striking Scorpion really has more depth in the yellow, its just hard to see with the light. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilvish the Deliverer Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Good job on some army level paint schemes. I haven't kept up with any of the 40k stuff but the Banshee kida reminds me or the original 40k Harlequinn minis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianCrane Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 With the soul gems you need to put the dark spot at the top and the bright bit at the bottom, then you put a single dot of pure white at the top.

Orionjp Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yea, I wasn't happy with the gems, but I didn't want to repaint them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianCrane Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 That's the problem with them from what I can see you have them highlighted like a normal object but as a transparent object light flows through => highlights at the bottom. The white dot is then the glint of reflected light. It's probably worth taking the 10-20min to redo the gems given these 2 are "hero" models.
