Of all my Power Armoured models, I feel this is the best I have done...    ;D |

Not quite, he is from the White Consuls. I wanted to do a white loyalist, and I saw it in the SM codex... It was rather successful I think.

Consuls, that's it! Still UM successor.. You seem to have lots of metal marine figs... which is unusual in that most marine models are plastic these days.

Actually, most of the more fancy metal models belong to a friend... He loathes painting, so he gives them to me for painting... He designed a paint scheme for them, which I usually stick to (I have done some of his devastators, termies and a few tac squads) but with things like metals a usually make a different colout scheme and try it out, or practice a new technique... For example, all of his sternguard I am doing different, with the idea that they are sent from different chapters for assorted reasons...

I have the same problem as your friend, but it's not that I loathe painting at all. It just takes me forever to get into motion. A ten-thousand year old Slann mage would paint faster than me.

Lol... At least you could do it if you wanted though. He just doesn't have the patience needed...

I know someone who is a pro painter. His work is unreal. It's all about thinning down your paints with lots of water and having as little as possible on the brush itself.
Never touches foundation paints either, unlike me; I love 'em. Although I did learn to paint using palette paper from him..

I do like my Foundations... In fact I painted everything except my (shoddy) lens highlights on my storm trooper that you have seen elsewhere with foundation and washes ;D
I may have to try that sooner or later...

It just takes a lot of patience. e.g. If you're used to slapping on a heavy layer of mechrite red, just try doing lots and lots of thin layers instead. It works wonders - all the details can be seen exactly as they were when the model was bare plastic.

Did your friend also insist on the name Lupus, or did you just paint it on for the hell of it?
