Early Beginnings - KotE Assault Marines

Alright, time for another oldie.




These guys were some of the first ones that I started shading, and I did them about a year go. Early on, my first shading attempts were very sloppy. While I now have the brush control to localize the ink washes, that wasn't always the case. So I'd take the nuln oil, and wash the entire model with it. This resulted in somewhat splotchy colors on multiple occasions, so try to localize it when you can (if you're certain you can cover all the areas you should). 

Another thing I figured out is that druuchi violet actually makes a PERFECT shade for red. Complements the colors nicely. 

Still no decent highlights or detail work, but we'll get there.
