Just a quick note on my painting philosophy in general since this is the first sample of my hobby ever to hit the 'net. I definitely paint to a tabletop standard, lots of dry brushing and washes, nothing too fancy. I like to have things look nice but I also like to finish models in a timely manner before I get sick of seeing them. My chaos marine army is a good example of that compromise. I think of it as my "quick and dirty" army. I paint it to get it done because I enjoy playing with them. Some day I may find an army or project that I can put the full effort into, but right now I bounce around too much.
I tried painting a chaos star on the side of the land raider using Dave Taylor's guide, super helpful and I love the look.
The obliterators I just wanted to bang out in a night and went with a rusted look instead of aligning them to a particular chaos god.
All in all, glad to have some eye candy up on here at last but like I said, I'll work on getting rid of those shadows with a real light box and a better camera. Alright, enough messing around with the blog. I need to get some more work done on the berzerkers tonight if I want to have this army ready to go come the 21st.
