Dakka (Unofficial) Painting Challenge Round 13: March 2016: Space Marines!  @ 2016/03/01 09:32:33


Post by: Paradigm


Welcome all to the 13th round of the unofficial Dakka painting challenge, the first in a new and improved rotation of challenges that will run over the next 12 months! It's been a hell of a good run on these challenges for the first year of running them, and once the last results are in for February all manner of awards, retrospectives and general internet nerd partying will happen! For this month, though, we're going back to where it all began, the Space Marines!

That doesn't just mean you are limited to Adeptus Astartes and their traitor kin, though! Last time, we had all manner of creative entries, from Orks in looted Power Armour to a baffled squad of US Marines that found themselves IN SPAAAACE... and such outside the box thinking is definitely encouraged this time round. Equally, if you do want to just paint up any kind of 40k Marine, be they Chapter or Legion, Loyalist, Traitor or Renegade, Scout or Terminator, Tactical Marine or Chapter Master, then go for it!


How To Enter
- You may enter up to 5 MODELS as a SINGLE ENTRY, and are permitted one entry per member per month. If you enter multiple models, they should ideally be related in some way, such as part of the same squad, unit or scene if you are doing a diorama
- You MUST post a 'proof' picture of your entry in the thread of the state it was in before you started working on it; this must be either unassembled, unpainted, primed or coated a single colour. Entries that do not submit a valid Proof Picture will not be eligible for voting.
- After this, you may post WIP pictures in this thread and your own if you wish, and on completing the entry, you may post up to 5 final pictures IN THIS THREAD that will then be used for voting. Please note that multiple pictures in a montage or collage picture will be considered individual images for this purpose, so while these types of presentation are certainly acceptable, please keep the image limit in mind when compiling them.


So What Do I Win?
- Points... and points mean... bragging rights for the next month Following the vote, points will be awarded to every entrant. This year, the Points you receive will be equal to the Percentage of Votes your entry receives in the final Voting thread; if you get 10%, you get 10 points, if you get 6% you get 6 points, so on and so forth.

These points will be used to form a league table, which will be updated month on month as the results come in.


How Long Do I Have?
This challenge begins 1st March and will end at midnight GMT on the 31st March. After this, I shall compile the finished entries into a new thread, and voting will run for 5 days.

Deciding on what to paint for this one. I'll almost certainly finish this one (hopefully...).

In the middle of some Tactical Marines at the moment, so proof pics will come when they're done and I decide what I actually want to do.

1st to the 31st January? I'm assuming you mean March?

It's my birthday today and I'm expecting some kind of reinforcements to my growing mountain of boxes of unbuilt/unpainted Space Marines later this afternoon so I suppose today is the ideal time to finally try my hand at joining one of these comps I've loved watching over the last year.

I'll decide on the model(or 5) but at the moment I'm thinking of the Capt Agemman/Terminator Captain from the Start Collecting Space Marines Box if I'm brave enough.

Cheers Deadshot, I love the profile pic myself

As far the Capt(which I will probably keep named as Agemman even though I'm trying to build Galenus' 5th) the only issue with me picking it is that I have a lack of confidence in my abilities to make him look decent/acceptable.

If you think I gothrough and rehost everyone's pics each month, you're giving me far too much credit! I just copy whatever link people post, and for those that just attach the pics directly to a post, IMG tags all round!

A lot of this entry depends on when my forgeworld order gets here (hopefully soon) But I can do a 5 man legionnaire squad or a special character or two. It really depends.

Crikey, a year!

This is probably the fastest I've seen this topic fill up, as well.

I don't have anything I could enter and actually finish. My only space marines are Horus, Fulgrim and Eidolon, and I am not going to get one of them done with how March is looking for me. I've got 4-5 days free, and a WHW tourney in April, so I'll be finishing my IG.

Good luck guys, looking forward to seeing a rainbow of marines.

Well, I've got no Spess Mehreens to paint this month.

I've improved quite drastically, I think. Hell, back in the first ever challenge, I did not know how to thin my paints. And now, I've done much better.

Good luck to everyone.

Hooray for honorable mentions! I feel like my attempt was a bit lacking, as they still looked fairly close to regular Cadians, but I really hope this idea gains some traction with more skilled painters/converters. Really helps diversify the list of entries.

This is going to sound stupid, but...

I'm done! No, this isn't a fix, the mini was genuinely painted today, he's been sitting for so long waiting for this challenge and I've been waiting to get to grips with him, so the inspiration was there from the word go!


Not final pics, as obviously I'm over the 5-shot limit, but there he is! Any thoughts welcome!

You know, you could slow down, enjoy the painting process. You are like a little kid who wolfs down his cake, almost without tasting it he eats so fast.

Plus you make the rest of us look bad. Not that we need a lot of help, but still...

Yeah, before I started my charity project, I had one space marine, and he was already painted by the previous owner.
They are up there with Cadians for least favourite thing to paint for me.

I have Stormwall's little tribe in my to-do pile, and that's it's for marines in my life.

They are the Marmite of miniatures.

I´m in.

I have to options:

Option 1: A landspeeder I received in a bits-box-collection from eBay. He was "shot" several times and seemed to count as an objective marker (?). I got something on my mind for this one.

Option 2: An objective marker for my local GW store, which I promissed the to the storemanager after winning the Armies on Parade-event last week ...

I´m going to do both this month so I ll decide which one will be posted at the end.

Cheers

This is my devastator squad, with two Gravcannons and two Lascannons, plus a sarge with a humble bolter. I tell you what, that devastator squad kit is one of the best in all of 40k. Loads of useful bits left over, and all the options are included!

Not that it'll stop you from stomping us, but the rules state five figures, tops.

You can tilt shift and have a crowd, but the remaining ten are gonna have to be blurry/ scenery.

I'm in. What I'm in with though is still up in the air. I'm tempted to stick to type and paint these Lootas (and their ammo grot, screw you rules!) who clearly are rather more fond of Astartes weapons than anything my Mek has to offer:



I'm also terrifyingly close to triple-jumping out of my comfort zone and starting either my Space Hulk terminators or a generic Ultramarines terminator captain....



I'm still undecided. Thoughts, anyone?

PS Am I the only one here who is really fond of how models look when you undercoat them black with a zenithal white spray? I almost don't want to paint them at all!

Well there was a month when someone was gonna do zombie hordes, so the suggestion was just to force focus the camera to allow five to be central but give an idea of lots.

I'm sorely tempted to join in, but I'm in enough bother this month without creating something to do.

Hrm. I can't reasonably enter a squad, since the chance of me getting that many from started to finished while doing the monthly tale of gamers army challenges is slim to none, but I can probably dig out a couple of individuals and do some kind of either/or.

Hopefully.

Every time I look through an old box I find some gem I'd forgotten about, commit to painting it, then forget about it all over again.

My wife moved into our new house while I was "on the road" for several month last year.
So as soon as I knew we would leave our flat, I started to put my stuff into boxes but when I left, my wife
had to change some big boxes into smaller ones - so she put some of my 40k stuff into some new boxes
and didn't mark em. That's why I still feel like christmas sometimes - opening a box and find an Imperial
Knight is pretty christmaslike

I'm the same, really I have far to much. I have a set of draws in the garage with I've pretty much filled with stuff, occasionally I'll be going through it and find a box of say poorly painted models from a joblot ebay buy which one day I hope to strip and return to some sort of glory. The other week I found a box of 6 deffkoptas I has completely forgotten about (and also don't remember ever buying but there you go)

Damn Para finished already, our making us look bad here, I've averaged about 2 models a month for the last 6 months >_<

I'm still trying to work my entry out, hoping to combine Orks and Space Marines in one glorious model, but don't want to be lazy and just stick an Ork head on a SM body, that feels like cheating, I'll post proof when I've figured it out.

I found out my brushes are too big for detail work. so ive got to pick some up at michaels. I did get the first color on the shoulders, robes, and all the metal parts of the guns, hammer, and the robe.

all in all im pretty happy with them, for my first attempt. should be alot neater with the smaller brushes.

You're off to a good start - One thing I can recommend, that you can do even with bigger brushes, is to get some washes going on the models. That will give them a much bigger level of definition and really make them shine. IN your case I would recommend Aggrax Earthshade from Games Workshop, if you want 1 wash that can be used with all of your colors.

Trust me, you will love it!

Well, I'm in.

And, just to paint something not in power armour, I'm going with this guy:
Spoiler:


The Exrah Void Operator. A bug related to cthulhu. Who is his insectoid's race equivalent to a space marine, basically engaging in close range assaults during void operations and pulling off high risk boarding actions.

At first glance he almost looks like a Covenant Elite from the Halo games. Probably less so when he's painted.

Considering Corvus Belli "copied" Kerrigan from Starcraft, I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they got the idea.

Infinity is full of references, Deadpool, Major Kusanagi, a bunch of actors, a Spanish politician, Snake...

I just had a crazy idea, does anyone think he would look good painted like a ladybug?

Here's a WIP of my Devastators. They're kind of messy, but the major base colors are all there.

Lots more work to be done on these guys, but I'm making progress. Also, would it be okay if I painted up the little Armorium Cherub and entered it with these guys? I know that would make 6 models, but he's really tiny and kind of decorative rather than being a 6th member of the squad.

Option 2: An objective marker for my local GW store, which I promissed the to the storemanager after winning the Armies on Parade-event last week ...

I´m going to do both this month so I ll decide which one will be posted at the end.

Pretty late to this but, why not both?

Use the objective marker as the base for the flight stand.

Beautiful model and nice work.

I thought I'd add some WIP pictures.

Marines base coated starting to work on chests so I can fit their weapons.


Sergeant nearly done. I was so pleased with the clean look I got on him, then I decided to battle damage him; I think I went a little too far. Have I done too much?

I guess I can always say they just survived an exploded rhino.. The loin cloth is immaculate though. Anyone any tips on how to make it look a little less clean? Marines are quite new to me (or really old I guess, its been over 20 years since I last painted one).



using the sofa in my painting room as backdrop, the colour reproduction is a little more accurate here.

You know what? It's not like you're going to get a massive advantage by doing a load of small minis, and as kb said, they'd technically fit on 5 bases anyway! The rules are in place to stop people getting ahead by entering a whole load of models and to keep things focused, not to stamp on creativity. Go for it!

Oh.... in which case I submit my Iron hands legion Fellglaive. I had a spoiler up with the first set of Assassin pics. proof is the black primer. Its been that way for a year now. Never received the paint it deserves If it counts the Fellglaive and Stormlord were done in the same day.

You could always use the rectangular epic bases you'd only need 4 bases that way.

Hey, it´s the 11th of March and I´m done!

The 2 Landspeeders were real fun to "kustomize" and paint.
They might not be the highest of the highest affordable, but I wanted to do something "unusual" compared to my usual work.

Due to the 5-pics-only rule, I´m working on a threat, where you can check out some of the details I couldn´t include in here.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/682694.page (Hope it works like this?!)

Comments welcome!

Good luck to everybody

Ok, so as Kustomer D finishes , I finally stop lurking in the shadows and submit my proof:

That's Barachiel's termie squad from Dark Vengeance which happened to board The Bringer of Sorrow to fight the Genestealer menace on that Space Hulk (see GW Space Hulk DA supplement if you are completely lost ). And along with them is the Space Hulk Broodlord. I'll enter up to 5 of them.

And spurred on by everyone's supportive comments here is my progress on the Broodlord today (which I have been terrified to paint especially after Januine's and Paradigm's excellent jobs):

That was great fun

He's 90% done, there's a new base to come, BFTBG spray Matt varnish and then brush gloss varnish for the claws, but that's it. So best get back to the Deathwing seeing as how that is the theme of this month!!!

Not really happy with the eyes, and trying to take the base from white-glue-gloss to matte just kinda resulted in a cloudy mess.

Also: anybody know how to resize images? Initially tagged these with img, but that just is format breakingly big...

They are harder especially the old ones. Anything from the last year or so is much bette though. It requires about a 10th of the models though so there's that!

If you played 40k back with metal models it's not an issue.
Of course, you really need a lot of brains to play the game anyway. Soooo many layers and angles!

If you are very desperate, you can use a cardboard box and dustmask (the ones that look like doctor's masks) and rubber gloves. The masks and gloves you can get from pharmacies, and unless your smoke alarm is severely oversensitive you should be fine. Just open the window wide and you'll be fine.

HAha, that's what I've been doing since I arrived at university, before that I sprayed out the back of my parent's house.You're suposed to do it in well ventilated areas, not a 6ft by 6ft bedroom.

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like them

The fire effect is a 4 step process:

- Airbrush Vallejo Air "Sick green" on the area where the flame is. This is also the "hue" color on where you want the OSL to happen, such as the side of the face etc.
- Airbrush Vallejo Air "Moon Yellow" lightly on the middle of the flame, to give it some more brightness.
- Wash the flame itself (not the surrounding areas) with GWs "Biel-Tan green" wash
- Lastly drybrush the washed area with GWs "Yriel Yellow".

Et voíla! Ironically they are mostly yellow instead of green - But that's what gives it such a cool and eerie effect

Getting close on my entry.


The last major thing to do is the cape. I painted him in two halves, but wanted to glue him together before I did the cape so the folds on the shoulders matched. That and the base and I should be done. Plus all the random touch ups I notice.

Bit scared here, you all are a bit good, well out of my league, but hey got to have a go.

The work here is amazing, can see this is going to be tough.

OK so it doesn't have to be a legal model right?

Well I fancy the idea of messing about with Space Hulk. and I have been making a board in the background, I know there are some great models out there, but I have my own ideas of what should be going on so here we go...

A terminator properly scaled and kitted out for close quarter fighting in dark and dingy corridors of hell. But all I got is some AOB models....



Thats not what I want.....lets sort that out right now.....

My gods its a massacre!

Well here we go, trying to make it short and sweet, the aim is eventually to have a squad, but it will be different, more like the best of the best sent in to clear out the xeno scum, so will not be the traditional squad of termies, but instead a mix match of guys. Probably upsetting a bunch of people with the very idea of it. For now, I will be doing one Termie for the comp, depends on how I get on I might do more.

I find Deathwing colour a sort of Marmite situation. Everyone has different views on what colour they should be. There's details of paint usage over on my blog if anyone interested.

Post by: Moolet


Wow, so many entrants this month, and to such a high quality again.

My entry this month is the first few marines of my BA army. I've painted a full tactical squad with hand flamer/flamer/heavy flamer which I'll likely load up in a rhino (yeah I know not exactly super competitive). These are my first marines for 20 years so they were a bit of an experiment trying to scale down the scheme I worked out on my dreadnaught last month.

It kind of worked and it kind of didn't. I like the overall look but it was so time consuming taking me over twice as long as I originally anticipated. I think towards the end I rushed a bit through impatience and I'll go back to them at some point and give them some more love, (the base rims need redoing for a start). I've got to get some more ork boyz painted ready for an upcoming battle! I don't like to play with my miniatures unpainted so I think it will be the middle of summer before I get a game with these tactical marines.

Here they are on a piece of scenery themed to my gaming board, (i.e. bases match the ground).


Anyhow that isn't my entry pic as its illegal but I wanted to show them in their natural environment first... =)

Here are my entries.

Thanks, very kind of you. I find after I spend a whole week looking at a model and knowing every single detail and imperfection I find it hard to stand back and make an impartial judgement. It really makes me happy to hear what others think, (even if its negative!) =)

Cool entries there guys

Since I've been painting BA's in the last few challenges its interesting to see how both Jan and Moot are doing yours, I might have to add a few bits of chipping to my own in the future

My guy has been staring at me for the last week, hopefully get some paint on him this weekend now I've dremeled him to death.

WOW some amazing work!

We can rebuild him.....

Bits, lots of bits...

So bunch of shots, before I break him down to paint.....So you can see parts etc...







This is definately not the final cut, but a fiddle in that general direction, couple bits I am not sure on, and I have to add a ammo belt feed from his hip mounted ammo pack to the storm bolter. Was going for a bulkier upper look whilst maintaining the idea of nothing sticking up too high to catch on overhead cables and pipes in those tight quarters.

Questions comments and critique please...

what the hell, i'm in...
we'll see if i can get this awesome Iron Warriors character done in time...

here's the proof pic:



plus a couple of shots of the base build...
i think that the angle i cut the cork at will really help emphasize the lean in the pose...




the idea will be to take the opportunity, with dominant silver armor, to do some reflective metal,where the reddish soil will be reflected in the undersides of the metal, while the blue of the sky will be reflected in the upper sides of the armor...
we'll see if it works out...
should be a fun experiment, and something different for an Iron Warriors Marine...

good luck to you all this month...
there are some awesome projects going on in the challenge...

cheers

Next subject poll ideas:
Slash - anything that has a weapon that will leave gouge marks
Stomp - something big that could make a few ground tremors
"Mine's bigger than your's" - something with a big gun
"I'm not sure I'm meant to be here" - mini(s) that don't belong where they are

I'm in favour of the 1st and 3rd, because 2 needs purchase of large models and is quite similar to the size thing last time, and the 4th is more of a diorama than an individual model

I think the option of an Aprils Fools theme is a good one

Shame Easter isn't in April this year or you could have had a back from the dead/Resurrection theme or a fluffy bunnies theme

The coat on your models looks very smooth there Guildenstern, good work, I like the corks too, started doing that myself recently.

It's gonna be down to Paradigm, but usually the proof is meant to be of a model that has had no more than a prime or single base layer on. That's a judgement call from the big man though

NEW CHALLENGER: SPESS MEHRIENS: AS YOU KNOW, MOST OF OUR BATTLE BROTHERS ARE STATIONED IN SPESS.

(It will be one of these two blokes... not going to paint them both... too many other projects on the go.)

Alright I finished these guys up yesterday but only got around to editing them today. I think I am calling this one done, barring any large uproar over how bad the pictures could be

Great job. Photos are good (are there 2 or more marines?). Skin tones are good, great to see the fluff being followed in to the paint scheme.

The raven guard looks great. I'm dreading/looking forward to doing my death company as every venture I have into doing black looks either over or under done on the highlights.

Also the deathwing termie looks awesome, very cinematic. =)

Thanks! It always annoyed me when gw painted them a ruddy face tone and so I decided to go fluffy with them when I restarted the army

There are 5 in total, it just happened that the 5 best pictures I chose were of the same 2 or 3 models

I have finished my blood angels Predator tank. I chose to leave it without a gunner (really because I somehow lost the mini). Note the chipping, blued steel on the barrel, subtle streaking, OSL headlights, and various add-ons. This piece flew together fast, I really surprised myself. I hope you guys enjoy!

I am half considering entering in my Kaedes Nex model as I just finished him up and I like him a lot better than my tactical marines.

What say you para can I do it?

Finally started my first Space Marine / mini ever!
Made a few changes as you can probably see:



- changed one arm angle so both arms are almost stretched forward, because I wanted to have him shooting both guns forward
- changed one shoulder angle so both guns are pointing in the same direction
- changed one leg angle so he has a better leaping pose

I'm not sure yet what he's going for: either fighting his way up onto a pile of debris or leaping towards some large enemy while shooting.
I'm new at this, so any tips, ideas and suggestions are welcome!

LMK!!!!

Awesome concept! But stick a boulder under his raised leg. Or a corpse. Or a pile of skulls. Get paint on him quick so we can all enjoy the finished article!

Just some amazing work here, too good by far. Love the dancer, though I am sure he will be awesome by the time you have finished.

Not my final pics but close, last touches to go....





Can honestly say I am really enjoying this. Thank you.

OP updated now (sorry for the laxity, been super-busy this last week or so), think I've got everything, let me know if I missed you. Fantastic work in the last couple of pages too!

Will get the next poll sorted later. A few good ideas have been suggested, got some others in mind as well.

I was so close to finishing, then I sneezed with black on my brush.

I was detailing a largely white shoulder pad.



Will probably have to spend the bulk of tonight's painting time fixing that little mishap.

Ouch, that's bad luck! Hope you can get it sorted!

Cheers, fella. Yeah, it should be fixable, if not I'll grab another pad, it'll just be time consuming to do all the layers again. Getting white to a point where it actually looks good is one of the least fun aspects of my DIY scheme.

Couldn't you undo it quickly with a dry brush and water? I'm forever making a mess like that

Finally got back to painting my guys. I've finished basecoating them, so I'll shade them either tonight before I go to sleep or tomorrow morning before work. Here's a pic of where they're at right now:

Poll is up:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/684740.page#8540067

Had the idea of basing each entry around a 40k mission title, but of course there's no need to stick to 40k minis. 2 days to vote!

For fun, decided to see how far I could get in under an hour.



It has since been largely painted over and cleaned, but it was an interesting exercise.

Solid job for an hour’s work.

..Or, for a finished product even. I’ve played against armies done to a lesser tabletop standard.
