Water of Life - a desert Space Marine army @ 2009/10/15 09:57:18


Post by: laterDays


Finally decided to start a PM blog. I'm so sleepy I'm slightly dizzy, so I won't be talking that much. Btw, does anybody else find that warhammer can ruin good sleeping schedules? Anyways, I have been working on a SM army. I just felt like making up my own army, and I decided to make it desert themed. The story is that this is a sm army that got stranded on a monstrous desert planet and through thier years in the desert planet, they were made vulnerable to behemoths many times larger than a titan, constantly attacked by war-loving natives, and victim to the deadly heat and storm that enveloped the entirety of the planet. Through the years, they became a nomad force, where each inch of marine muscle was made impeccable in regards to the basic and primal human drive: survival. However, the army couldn't take credit for all their victories. They did find a hospitable town almost every decade, where they could eat a warm meal and feel human again for a few days. But, the belief of every marine in that army is that the real reason for their survival is the fact that they were able to find springs of water whenever they were at the end of their rope - leading them to think there must be someone watching over them.

Anyways, I've been working on this army a lot, but not much is done. I've just started casting replacement heads for the regular tactical type soldiers. I'll post a pic up later ... Anyways here is a pic of a sm scout sniper head i just did tonight. I'm going to be giving them different heads.




And here is an image of a terminator with a shoulder piece that I'm going to begin casting tomorrow.


For a teaser, I ordered up some bitz and some action figure parts. I'll let you in on it as soon as I can.

Yup. I can attest to many restless nights where I'll wake up a about 2am with a great new idea for my guard and can't get back to sleep again.

These are looking good so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how the new bits pan out

Post by: laterDays


Yeah, talk about sleeping late... I hate sleeping past 4am.
Yes, I have decided on a paint scheme. It is going to be mostly desert tan, with dark brown weathering. I'm going for a dirty imperial guard look



On to the demanded moar!


Abram Terminators. The WoL army came upon the remains of Imperial guard battalions that failed to brave the desert planet and survive. It was a blessing from the one who watched over them. It was an unexpected help for the marines whose damaged equipment could benefit from spare parts, but many also used the remains as a resource to increase the lethality of their weapons. Most marines waded in the masses of downed imperial guard soldiers, but it was different for the Terminators. In the wreckage of imperial guard vehicles is where they found their gold. In the twisted and rusted shell of a Leman Russ or a Stormblade, they found materials which they forged (with the help of the all too willing Techmarine) into superior, though heavier armor.


Tactical Marine heads.
1. A common modification the marines made was to their helmets. Many added filtering devices to their masks enabling the circulatory system of their suits to last the regular sand storm.

I will add tubes and such when the head gets put on the body.


2.


3.


I might give each marine a different head. But who knows who will win: discipline or laziness muehehe

Got the bitz in, and I will start decking the marines out but I still have to sculpt their heads. Plan is to have them look about as well equipped as modern US soldiers, but packing more provisions than that because they are basically nomadic.

A WIP tac marine. Sorry for everything being WIP, they will be for a while...







Btw, forgot to mention, I do have a paint scheme Dark Lord Seanron, it will be mostly tan but some browns for wear gear, blacks and greys will have hints of aquas, and lenses and lights will be in the range of green to blue.

I could think of plenty of reasons. If a unit is stuck in a sandstorm where visibility is severely limited, they could grab the proceeding marine`s bar in order to stick close to one another. Extra equipment and supplies could be tied to it, and during extremely intense storms, quakes, or attacks from large beasts, they could use the bar to tie the marines down to stop them from being thrown around.

Thanks for the comments guys.Yes the eyes and stomachs and random other things are blue. Also the conversions are brown-stuff, like Ramos Asura said. Actually I mix Aves Fixit with it cuz it makes it more brittle I think.

@r3n3g8b0y - Those helmets are a pain, glad you like them. Actually a lot of the marines will have regular packs cuz it is a pain to convert them all.

@TempusCorvus - Hehe, actually I'm thinking of cooking up some daemonhunter allies and assassins would fit the stilsuit deal nicely.

@Sarnath - Got a predator for christmas!

@Fafnir - Oh! That is why my SM have handlebars! Thanks! Haha.

Btw just magnetized the bases. Got a lovely shipment of clear bases (to tell you the truth, I never liked the idea of basing, so I got clear bases - makes them feel more like action figures than statues). That way the figures will fit in on any game table. There are neodymium (sp?) magnets below each foot.





@NuggzTheNinja - Yes indeedy, I got a pic of a couple of bad boyz for ya.

Those are really interesting bases, was it hard to drill the holes for the magnets? Did you pin the marines, or will they simple break off (looks like a rather non-porous surface, can't be too good of a bond). And where did you get them?

The guys with the head-wraps look good.

Two questions:

A) Where the hell did you find those bases? I'd love to use them for an army (though my only concern would be finding them at the appropriate size

B) How are you doing the dirty white/bone/stone color? So far your army is exactly what I was looking for in terms of color scheme for an army of my own.

Amazing work so far

@Valhallan42nd - thanks! What is osl?

@Ian Sturrock - Ooo nice heads - I think i might try that!

@jabbakahut - Damn, why didnt I think of that. Hopefully what i did will be okay; I sanded both surfaces with a grainy grit sandpaper then superglued.


@bhsman -
A) Bases here: http://www.litkoaero.com/page/LAI/CUSTOM_BASES

B) Testors model master acryl (tmma) Sand - basic color

Another two questions, if you would:

A) What were the exact specifications you gave them for the bases?

B) Would you be so kind as to do a step-by-step with your paintscheme if it's not too much trouble?

Thanks for the earlier replies.

Love the bases and the concept. Can you let me know two things? Are the bases magnetized in the sense that the mini's come off of the bases or do the bases just stick to metal. Also how did you glue the minis/magnets into the bases without fogging up the bases (what material are the bases made of?) Keep up the good work.

How did you do the head wraps? I've tried to do some by folding a large piece of greenstuff like you would a real shemagh but it didn't look as nice.

This is looking really great. And thanks for the link for the clear bases.

I like the fluff of the army and the conversions are looking top notch.

How is the brown stuff in comparison to the green stuff? Is it just a different color or are there workability differences to it?

Keep up the great work.

Are there actually little lights in there, or did you just paint them to look like that? Either way, they look awesome.

I like the clear bases, and I'm actually suprised that I haven't seen more people doing that. Probably just because there's not much point getting new bases when they come with perfectly good ones. Except in this case.

Please tell me you're going to make a Sandworm.

And come to think of it, Epidemius would make a pretty good Baron Harkonnen.

@bhsman

A) What were the exact specifications you gave them for the bases?
3mm Clear Acrylic (1/8th inch), 25mm diameter, and put "No" for a flight base.
B) Would you be so kind as to do a step-by-step with your paintscheme if it's not too much trouble?
Okay!I'll do a step-by-step as I work on the last 4 tactical marines in the squad. No problem!

@bobx66 - The bases stick to metal. I like the idea of the sticking to metal. I stuck them on the refrigerator for fun last week! Also, you don't see much fogging where I glued the bases to the feet because I used just enough glue to cover the under surface of the foot (i.e. not much overflow).

@MasterSlowPoke - I did fold a large piece of putty over the head to make the shemagh and turban. Do you have a color shaper like the "Flat Chisel" one shown here http://www.dickblick.com/products/colour-shapers-tools/ ? What I basically do is create fold lines using the edge of that tool. I can put up a short tutorial to help you later on.

@paulguise - Thanks! Actually to tell you the truth, I've never used green stuff. I heard it stays tacky and doesn't really respond to sanding well so I decided not to use it. I like to sand the things I sculpt because sometimes it is just easier that way. There is no reason to always do things the hard way - although a lot of us do it that way anyways (we love the challenge).

@Yggdrasil, Reecius - Thanks very much!

@Andaroo - Yay! I didn't know people actually read the naratives! Thanks for reading!

@TempusCorvus - The eyes are painted that way, thanks for the compliment. Btw, I don't think I'll be making a sandworm hehe.

@Jihallah - Thanks, I'm going to need that encouragement for the next squad haha.



Here are the last 4 of the tac squad. The brown is brown stuff, the black are pockets that I casted. I was planning on primering them tonight but I'm kinda sleepy now. As per bhsman's request, I will provide a description of my process as I go along. I was going to take a pic of my sniper scout squad but I'm too sleepy to do that too.



Sergeant Caleb (the rightmost figure) - Be focused so that your bolter does not miss its mark, be careful that you do not turn your face away from the enemy, be wary lest you lose any hint of ferocity in your fist because any less will bring you fear - delivered by the hands of our leader, Brother Caleb.

Weapons Specialist (second from the right) - Even without his eyesight and relying on technology to "see" the battlefield, he still performs better as the weapons specialist than any other in the squad.
This marine can use any special weapon and there are magnets attached at the wrist of on hand and at the palm at the other. I will just use this guy to swap the special weapons.

Happy New Years! Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm flattered by the comments.

@Asherian Command - I just modify the original SM heads with brown kneadatite. I'll let you know if I get any ideas about a jungle army, but I'd definitely like to see some multicam color scheme.

Okay so it took me a while to get back to the painting. There are so many distractions during the holidays. Here is the progress on my tactical marines so far.


1. I first painted the darker shade of armor on the pieces. It is a mix of Testors Model Master Acryl "Sand" and "Dark Earth".



2. I airbrushed some zenithal lighting over the pieces with "Sand". You can blend lighting in, but it takes a longer time to do that. I wish I had made the darker shade more dark so that there would be a greater contrast between lit surfaces and surfaces in the shadows, but I'll save that for a different squad.

Image that shows the zenithal lighting...



Image that has truer color...

Interesting, I havent seen to many people use testors. I use the flat black as a primer, but I have to say I think I will look at their other colors a little more now.


Water of Life - a desert Space Marine army @ 2010/01/15 07:29:28


Post by: laterDays


I'm just used to testors because it is the paint I used to use before I started warhammering. However, I do like their range of colors, especially because they have true-to-military colors. Also, I use tamiya white primer because of what I found out after reading this http://www.maximusinminimis.com/Primer%20Test.html .

By the way, I finished the last 4 of that tac squad.





I got tired of trying to blend things, so I just decided to drybrush as much as I can. So I drybrushed almost all greys with the base color of the armor which created a dusted look. The effect can be seen on the pockets and objects around the waist.



Line colors:
Lighter lines: Testors Model Master Acryl (TMMA) sand + TMMA dark earth + GW bestial brown
Darker lines: TMMA black + TMMA euro grey to give the line more depth (dark drawn over lighter lines)

Damage:
TMMA euro grey underlined with TMMA white



Eyes:
TMMA pale green + insignia blue blended more and more white

Chest Eagle:
Wash of TMMA dunkelgrun rlm 82

Backpack
Chipped paint: TMMA silver
Dust: drybrushed TMMA dark earth + sand

Abdomen area:
Wash of TMMA pale green + insignia blue


There ya go! If you have any questions just let me know!

I don't usually follow 40k blogs, but these are awesome. The putty work, and the paint is fantastic. I like marines that have this vibe a bit more than the 'space-knight' thing that is going on a lot. Keep up the excellent work!

Is it just me or does this head resemble this Halo 3 helmet? I like the sculpts!

A lot of Halo helmets resemble a lot of other helmets. Quite a bit of Japanese influence.

i love how these marines look except for the handlebars... i've read the justifications on them, but it just seems that a hud on the helmets and a chain might be able to do it, but if you like it w/e... keep up the good work

Oh - I agree on the lack of sleep thanks to GW. Great for entertaining the many hours of insomnia.

Guys, he isn't revisiting this thread. A ways up there was a post after a two month no-post period, and then again after almost another month. Really, the thread was necro'd.

Until then...
