Made a light box, some better pics of the growing Tyranid swarm?

These kinda turned out ok, they have to be a little dark as the models themselves are quite dark but I still need to figure out the colour balance a bit better so I can get the red to pop without turning the rest of the model into a neon disaster. Also excuse the photo of the gants, must have bumped the camera. So everything I have painted now is done, I'm working on Hive Guard now, the new kit is really slick!

Hey there,
your pics are still pretty dark, it's hard to make out the details. While the lightbox will make sure, that the minis don't end up to bright, you still need more lighting. Right now, there's still too much detail hidden in shadow.

Maybe check out the Photography tutorial on Tale of Painters, that was pretty great and helpful.

Best,
Kenza
Thanks Kenza,

I'll head over and check that out now. I had a pretty good setup before but I can't quite remember how it went and overall these models seem a lot more difficult to photograph than the space marines were.

Also a change of camera and lens too, I did have a DSLR with a 50mm prime for the old shots where the new ones are with an CSC and a 14-42mm lens that operates completely differently.

Thanks again for stopping by and giving me some feedback.

Sure, man, anytime. I think the article might help, since Garfy is taking a pic of the Nid Biotitan, which should be right up your alley. :)

But overall I agree, taking pictures of Nids is certainly harder than Marines.

Mors Miles - The Death Knight - Legio Vulpa Maniple 13.

Next up, the Princeps Senoris of my favourite maniple style in the game, the Ferrox! Princeps Senoris Agdex is a lead from the front type homie. He has a flair for destruction and more often than not, his Assault Reaver Titan - Mors Miles isn't spared from copping it either. I play Mors Miles and it's matching counterpart Atro Messorum quite aggressively, often pushing the two up together then rotating the lead titan so they can share the damage taken before dishing it back out within the Melta half range. In the most recent event, Mors Miles was detonated in 2/5 games due to this play style but it created opportunities to take the objectives or for other Titans in the battlegroup to get the kill shots while also claiming quite a few engine kills of his own.

Acastus Knight Porphyrion COMPLETED!!!!!

Acacstus Knight Porhpyrion, easily the biggest and most complex kit build and paint job I have ever done for a gaming miniature. I'm really happy with the result but the 60 hrs I spent on getting it finished kinda baked my noodle. I have no idea how the titan painters get through it! Anyway here are some studio shots, let me know what you think!

House Makabius Cerastus Knight Castigator.

Hey Dudes, I don't think I ever chucked up a photo of this bad boy but getting and painting one of the new option heads was a good excuse to get some decent photographs. It's my favourite knight chassis but my least favourite head so I'm really glad they released some options. That's it for a while, we're up to date with what I've done now. I'm gonna set to making a gaming table and some terrain again and will continue to add some units to both the knight force and the Death Guard. <3 Jack
