Blood Angels Assault Squad video

I painted these guys up a while ago but hadn't made a video, so here you go.

Blood Angels Assault Squad finished

Here's that squad I was working on all complete. Nothing fancy here, but I do like how the yellow on their helmets turned out. I used the reaper yellows for the highlights and then went over it with a sunburst yellow glaze and it made it a wicked rich yellow. Very happy with that.

The other neat thing about these guys is that the bases are done with coffee grinds. I have an espresso machine, so I just dried out the grinds and used them like I would sand or pebbles (white glue, scorched earth base coat, etc).

Here's a couple pics of an a 10 man assault squad I'm working on. Nothing fancy, just some stuff to justify all the special characters I've been painting :)

I've started doing my bases a little more "realistic" rather than just using static grass. I'm doing the dirt with grass patches now, and for the dirt I'm using coffee grinds. Well, espresso grinds actually. I really like the look and have an endless supply of them. Also, since they are basically scorched brown to start with I think they have potential to be a little faster and easier. The bottom picture is with a base coat of scorched brown, highlight of bestial brown and a drybrush of Kommando Khaki. There will be better pictures when these guys are all done.
