Look I'm no paint snob...but these look like ****
Thank you.
Seriously, the only one that looks acceptable to me are the world eaters. The DG would be good if someone didn't abandon the book scheme green for baby **** green. Whoever they got to paint the gold on those models needs to not do that anymore, like ever again. I can abide models like that from people that just want to play the game, and just took the time to get their army to 3 color minimum, but this came out of the FW studio.
Clearly they spent all their time on the Isstvan III board and let the interns make the PDF. It appreciate the effort to release the colors, since that's what a lot of people ask for, but I really only like FW's take on the World Eaters.
I don't get some of them-- they really don't look like the book at all.
Oooh, they sneakily updated the pics: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/download...ting_Guide.pdf
Looks a little better.
Wow, just terrible. Especially the Emp Children
well the DG improved. The EC is still crap, and the SoH has too much half-assed weathering. They would have benefited from keeping the weathering to the green and black parts, and not just drybrushing over the whole completely painted mini.
I think you hit it with the weathering. If they were just nice, clean models it would represent better. Instead of just sponge-it-all-over grey.
At least the gold is just not straight out of the pot.
