appologies

I'm really sorry for all that have viewed this blog. i had hopes of posting pictures more often of what i am up to but here is the skinny. I have been working on a light box so that the pictures that i take will be a lot better, but in my actual life work has been taking up a lot of my time, i have put in an application for a new position, one that would actually use what i am going to school for. i am however on vacation next week so i will try and get some up then. i have put the tau on the back burner and am now finishing up my grey knights, or at least trying to. the downfall i have is once i get an idea in my head and have it on paper i want to do it right away so i stop what i am currently doing and work on the next project so this blog may be a little ADD but i'm hoping to get some good feed back from all of you and hopefully help some others.

here is a fix for the last pics and a few more for some fun

so i realized, thanks to a friend, that the pictures really weren't that good with the last post so here are some new ones that i took with an actual camera. Also another model that i am working on once my fire warriors are finished. for the paint scheme i am going to be using commander farsight with his retinue of bodyguards so i figure may as well make the whole army look the same way but i am not going to lie i kinda like just the black with the blue hue in the emblems. again not so hot on the lava due to the color blindness i think but i will take any and all help i can get.



 sorry about the blurriness in these two the camera wouldn't focus for some reason.

First order of business

So I have never painted lava or done any sort of object light sourcing, Idk if it is because of the red green color blindness, but this is the first model with it. ( sorry for horabble quality it was done with the iPad) 

I will take any and all criticism

Here goes nothing

So I am extremely new to this whole blogging thing, which is funny because I do everything else with my computer, but I figure I'd give it a shot. I guess I should start with a name, my name is Ben and I have recently gotten back into 40k, more as a hobby but I do enjoy playing every now and then. I used to do a lot of remodeling with green stuff and kit bashing but now I am really working on presentation. Don't get me wrong i still kit bash and green stuff but now I'm working on the painting aspects. Few things about me, I am a student in a biotechnology program and I work a full time job in an o.r. at a hospital, in my spare time I play video games and hang out withe the girlfriend. For 40k right now I play tyranids, chaos, tau, and grey knights. I only have about 2k pts a piece but when I used to play in high school I could field a 17000 point tyranid army. But enough about me ill start posting some pics and help is always welcome.
