Coming along nicely, Damo!

Hopefully they weren't too broken up going half way around the world.

The big guy is looking good. You can really get into the details on the larger model, not terribly unlike the Primarchs.

I see mould lines on the exhausts of the land raider, i am dissappont

Damo marine needs to have the weapons removed and install a paintbrush and airbrush. Then he will really look like he's about to unload a paint pot of whoop on the xenos scum.

Can you photo him next to horus to see a size comparison. You could be the primarch of one of the lost legions that unfortunately set up on the death world of Austrailia Maximus where the native fauna is so cute and cuddly, but ate all the initiates

Its actually a separate piece, not a mold line.

Damo Marine looks fabulous. All looking great as always, looking forward to the new sharks.

That damo marine looks awesome! Amazing what simple washes can do. The face looks great too.

Love the sideburns on the Inq scale marine.

Where's the Damo Squad ?

Also interested to see some work on your ZM boards, mine have been shoved to the depths of the cupboard lately.

I'm waiting for warmer weather H :-) that and my bestie to bring around a gaming table he made for my nerd room so I can arrange all my tiles and get it to flow properly !

Yeah, expect its blooming' freezing where you are !

Hey guys, nothing too thrilling today just a little more sharkey work with base colours and washes. getting a feel for them again still a bit of fiddly work left before I nail down the details. I also did the robes on the first chaplain I believe this guy is Crush? I wanted to give him a sort of ocean/sea vibe so blended the greens into light blues but held off from painting plaster starfish on it

I reckon this squad will be one you DON"T want to meet when they're angry!





and now for a little Crush update!





More next week any thoughts or ideas for 'em?

Ohh, I like the blue green more. Makes him seem less DA-ish.

I think a red stripe on the termi's helms (or something) would be cool, they are the Red Brethren, something should be red.

Yup.

You know what would look better then a red stripe on the helmet.

Bright red eyes. That'd make em look evil.



Failing bright red eyes, then yes, a red stripe on the helmet would also look good.

Also what's up with the chappie's gun? Why's it look like a bad spray job?

That's not the worst idea, but I think it wouldn't make them look different, just like the lenses got done differently.

That reminds me, did Crush not look right with black lenses?

I think the gun still just primed. Damo uses the zenithal style priming, hence the two colors.

Imagine a flesh eaters red on those eye lenses. They'd looking more demonic then a horde of bloodletters.

Looking good, nerdy! Love the Sharkies! That gray is gorgeous- really cool and blue-ish. Almost feels like a real predatory oceanic color. (really jealous you got to work on Tiberos... I love that mini for the sheer stupid ott-ness of it all)

Absolutely LOVE the green-blue on the chappy's robe/cape, too. What colors are those?



I really really badly want one of those Inq marines... Theres sooooo much potential in a marine that huge!

Damo-rine is wearing too many clothes

I love that guy's chainpalms. Can't shake hands, can't high five, can't even wave without making so much noise EVERYBODY looks at him and can't hear their own conversations anymore.

Lol, Space Sharks.

Paintjobs are awesome though. That green robe looks amazing.

Looking good Nerdy I think a nice v shape on the heads would look cool going down into the point.

That cloak is really nice, very seaesque.

HA thanks guys and Dave is right but I can't sculpt man boobs and small genitals on it

I think the sea green robe works too, I always had that in my mind as a plan but was going to originally fade from green to blue along the trailing edge. I also think the red stripe will be good, I wanted to do that but wasn't sure how much of the original sharks scheme Whaley wanted on them and yeah Crush' lenses needed to be red, black looks not right but as a character it works.
They should be done next week hopefully then I can start the raider

I did do some basic paint today on and off when I got a chance, because......... I was working on second prize for the 3rd annual Nerdcademy award!!! this year I'm painting a squad I got from a friend and am using them as a prize! yep, a squad of Chaos Possessed marines I intend on making look not crap! I primed them and started to just wash them but they look update worthy.

Sharks look sweet, and chaos look promising.

I would comment that your airbrush looks like it's spattering a bit... but the effect looks really good.

This is the second time I had to ask Where did the Space Sharks pads come from?

Wow Damo, the sheer pace you work out always leaves me feeling quite out of breath, having been away for a bit I had to literally marvel at about 10 new projects before I was up to speed! Not that im complaining mind! its simply astounding quality stuff, Horus, well, is absolutely perfect But on a slightly more recent note, that sea blue robe is beautiful, do you mind if i ask what colours you used?

The sharks are looking top notch and I cant wait to see how they turn out!

But the pressing matter of the hour! the third annual nerdfest comp approaches! how jolly exciting!

Hey again guys, thanks for the comments i'll firstly get to what I did for Crush robes I primed the model black, then white primer from above (Claytons zenithal..... ) then washed with Biel tan green. after that I really watered down some warpstone green and used again as a wash, once dry I used P3 Meridian Blue as my darker colour and watered it down with Biel tan green, then highlighted the top parts, after that I mixed P3 arcane blue into a wash and went over the whole thing then focussed on the high points with pure arcane blue and that's it! I could have been smoother but again, this force is tabletop and for playing games with so I didn't waste time on something that may get damaged in transit

and you may have read that i'm working on the 3rd annual Nerdcademy award? well, yes I am, so far I have 3rd prize already done and am using the possessed as 2nd prize, i'll be making a little base for them to go on together as well and first prize is hopefully going to be pretty cool! usually I make a Damo out of gs but I want something better this year something I can replicate so it becomes instantly recognizable..... more to come soon

and while i'm at it and on Dakka tonight I need to have a little chat with you guys/girls

O.K, i've been fairly quiet lately except for my updates that I pop on here and I feel like i'm neglecting my friends I have been pretty busy with work and have a few things on my mind which hasn't left me much time to check out everything you have all been doing! which again, is frustrating for me as I want to be here for you all and comment and support your hobby blogs and passion as much as you do for me! over the next 4 weeks or so I'm covering some night shifts and I will promise I will do my best to get on and really catch up with you all I should have more time at work when it's quiet. I also feel I may take a downshift in what i'm doing towards the end of the year so I don't suffer burn out which I can feel coming on if i'm not careful! so my plans are to finish for Whaley the Sharks Termies and Raider, his two Chaplains and a couple of objective markers then I want to go through my Nerd room and tidy it up and organize myself hopefully getting my gaming table in as well after this I don't see myself doing much..... not...nothing but maybe more detailed singular models instead of a squad etc.

and one final note...... for next year this blog will be......

None of those, Damo has gone camo crazy, in a redneck styleee , and will be painting everything for jungle warfare !

If you combine them both you end up with Nurgle worshipping Blood Axes.
