From Concept to Reality, 3 FTW member posts

Cruising the FTW blog rolls these past weeks, I found some interesting things from members who have used what they found on From the Warp to help them with their hobby. Stuff I figured I'd pass along to you guys to check out to see what they're doing with the info they pick up here.

FTW posts that were linked to:

The difference a wash can make
After seeing what a wash can do to Atomic Spud's Ultramarine Scouts, I believe in them even more now. It just goes to show you a good paintjob with some selective washing carefully applied can result in a nice looking model.


His Sergeant Telion looks great. Hopefully he'll push his washing and weathering even more and I'll have someone else in my corner that loves the grim, dark look to their models. It all starts with a wash though, That's how it worked for me.

Basing and going that extra step
Mechanical Volition took the idea of using the right materials to base your models with and went the extra step on his Tau Fire Warriors. The difference is there, adding that last bit of grass, that rock or skull, makes all the difference in the world.


Often times it's that one last piece or detail that brings a model to life.

The trick to freehand is breaking down the shapes
Confessions of a 40k Addict has some wonderful looking Deathwing troops with gorgeous freehand markings on them. Suitably bulky and the whole design fills out the shoulderpad.


It doesn't matter that the designs might be slightly different on each guy. When you put the whole squad together, it doesn't matter at all. Freehand will always be my favorite way to go.

If you've got a post on your blog that shows what you were able to do with something you picked up here and it links back to FTW, let me know about it so I can highlight what you're doing!

And there you have it folks, three more members who have done some great work recently that I wanted to share with you.
