I have traced a few changes to the way i will my yellow fists, so heres what i will try to do:

Next in getting paint are:
One dread
Five termis
(and will see from here after finishing)
Lysander

This is the plan:
1- Darker shadows, but this time i will try and make a natural look shadow with blended smooth transitions

2- New yellow formula, using P3 colors (Dark) Heartfire-> Cygnus Yellow-> Sulfuric Yellow (bright), as for the deepest shadow im still not sure what to use but maybe it will be a mix of some brown and yellow, maybe smoke from vallejo
2.2 - Actual yellow formula, AP demonic yellow primer -> GW Foundation Iyanden Darksun -> GW Golden Yellow -> Vallejo Model color Light yellow. the shades are Vomit Brown and GW wash Gryphonne Sepia.

3- I am really tempted to try and add some zenital highlights or something close to it.

Side note (everything must have a clean look)

so will see what happens :mrgreen: , for now im painting the last 5 marines with the same look as the others.

Then i will add or try to add the sugestions.

Do they are tabletop minis, i think im trying to go a little above that, you be the judge :wink:

Thanks and dont be shy i can take the critics :mrgreen:

Well this was just a test that went wrong :?

ImageClick to see full-sized image

It was going ok, it had some nice kind of zenital, but i didnt like the yellow, and that was wend it went really wrong, so wrong that the test subject is bathing in Dettol to remove the ink :|

The shadows are paint not light shadows and the white was paint thats why a say it had a cool look

The mix between old citadel Ink + Vallejo Smoke did something i knew but forget, it made the mini looking like a Gold NMM :banghead: I dont have photos but the result is like the gold nmm used on my soulgrinder :doh:

So back to the drawing board and do a new test :lol:

Their poses look very dynamic and I like that. My fav is the one with claws :D
It is really great to see step by step how are you painting them. Do you use sprays or aerograph?
