Welcome all to the 133rd round of the Dakka Painting challenge. For the unfamiliar, this is a friendly painting competition open to members of all skill levels and experience, whether your entry is your first or you thousand-and-first time painting miniatures. Each month, finished entries are collected into a thread where the community can vote on their favorite pieces, and those votes go towards an annual overall League that runs for 12 rounds.

This month the topic is: Space Marine. Our annual start of the competition. Do want want to travel to distant planets? See exotic creatures and planets? And kill them? Then sign up for the Space Marines today? Not just GW’s Space Marines, but any future soldier that fits the bill. Day in the Marine Corps is like a day on the farm, every meal's a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade. All right, sweethearts, you're a team and there's nothin' to worry about. We come here, and we gonna conquer, and we gonna kick some, is that understood? That's what we gonna do, sweethearts, we are going to go and get some. All right, people, on the ready line! Are ya lean? Are you mean? WHAT ARE YOU?


- 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 may enter at any time during the month, up to the last minute. We do encourage people to enter early, as to be part of the community, but if you can’t start until the 11th hour, that’s OK.
- 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 6 final pictures IN THIS THREAD that will then be used for voting. Please note that 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. For example, a collage of 5 images and one separate image would count as your 6 picture allowance.


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 of March and will end at midnight EST on March 31st. After this, I shall compile the finished entries into a new thread, and voting will run for 5 days.

For space marine month, I will be painting space marines:

Look, I’m having enough problems deciding what to paint. Don’t make me break out the 2nd bolter huggers.

Nice vintage squad there!

As we all know Space Marine is short for Marine Life... in SPAAACE!. So I'm going to paint this fishy looking space wizard apprentice.

Hmm, do I support my Eldar brethren in the long war or do I paint that old RT Tzeentch marine I finally tracked down after 30 years?

Paint both the sorcerer and a seer if you have one for the ultimate showdown between magical masters of fate.

Painting duel dioramas is perfectly fine. Don’t even need to have them on the same base. Just a group of minis facing each other in the lightbox is fine.

Just try to keep some thematic connection. While the goal here is to fight the long war against the pile of shame, we don’t just want random collections of minis entered.

I've not quite decided what to paint for this month, it's either going to be this squad of Iron warriors

or one of these random marines I found skulking on the painting desk


Need to decide if I want to go with a more basic paint scheme for models that will join an army and see some use on the tabletop (Iron warriors), or put a bit more effort into a single model who's only use will be to look nice on a shelf

I'll paint these Chaos Space Marines this month:

I have four potential entries for this month:

1) Kharn the Betrayer, assuming I can find his head and pistol


2) The original Space Marine scout, possibly accompanied by his carapace armored friend


3) A demi-squad of Chaos Marines, left over from a long-abandoned army project:


4) A selection of Dudes With Rifles, some from Kryomek, others from RAFM:

Going to try to get some reivers done this month. Unless I change my mind again.

Well I was given a box of old minis found this guy buried in it.

It’s the most classic 40k rescue shelter situation coming up right on time for March so he’s going in the paint stripper.

It may depend on the effectiveness of Dettol to get that bolter-hugger cleaned up. I probably haven’t painted an Eldar since this time last year.

My plan is to do the Terror from Below set for Shatterpoint - aquatic Separatists seem to fit the bill of Space and Marine, after all.

Hard to believe this thing has been running constantly for 11 years and we're kicking off year 12. In any case I'm in with the Sternguard Veterans from the Leviathan box set. Proof:

I primed them green because I was originally thinking I would do them like the old DA Company Veterans, but I've since switched and decided to do them in Deathwing bone white after all, so all I did was make things tougher for myself. No matter, a couple of coats of Army Painter Skeleton Bone and they are looking better already (sorry no WIP pic yet). Painting these will help me get closer to finishing off the Space Marines half of the Leviathan set, which would be nice since we're about to get a new starter set to work on later this year.

Here is my plan for the month, I’m hoping to get more done and I may switch half way to a different squad but for now this is the goal!!

Daia T'Nara - Squad Kirsch, Genesis Chapter, Empyrean Crusade





Meant to be named after Timothy Olyphant's character Kirsh from Alien Earth, but I misremembered how that's spelled while I was painting and I'm not doing the shoulder nameplate again, so now they're named after the brandy.

The only SM I have at arms reach without digging out some boxes are these two guys.
Will attempt a rescue

Lots of good stuff showing up. Let’s get that paint flowing!

Basecoats going down

After about a week in Dettol this thing is still stubbornly clinging to its former identity.


Time to get serious.


At this rate I’ll be choosing this fella’s chapter as punishment.

Crowe: if after all that and he's still a mess, you should just mount him on a plinth, paint him like a copper statue with serious patina, and use him as scatter terrain

Maybe one of these days I'll post a Space MarineTM proper, but thus far they have failed to really capture my imagination and consequently are not anywhere near priority in my painting queue. Until then, I guess I'll be singing along with CB.
Not all who take up arms and ply the Empyrean do so willingly.

Check out Sanfu, bringing the A-game! I'm going to have to work a little harder if I want to compete.

I may have to let Captain Brown down this month; my sci-fi painting is laser focused on the Inquisition. So no Adeptus Astartes, but I'm sure an Inquisitor Lord in Terminator Armor or Inquisitorial Stormtroopers are close enough to "space marine".

Green Stuff world stripper is the business. Low fumes, eco friendly. Couple of days in a jam jar and job done.

Any scale is fine, as long as it can be broadly classed as a mini.

Although if someone wants to do a 1:1 cosplay marine outfit in a month, I’d not say no to that. Pretty sure that would be more along the lines of the summer sidequest project, if even that.

We are about halfway through the month, so plan accordingly. Also, it’s a good time to toss around ideas for next month’s topic. As this is a new year, let’s go over some points that make a good topic:

It should be broad. Can it apply to both fantasy and sci fi? We want to include as many people as we can. Not everyone has a deep pile of shame or will want to buy something just for the comp. Not everyone plays 40k. (I know this month is a bad example, but it’s our traditional start, and SM are pretty prevalent in most collections)
Leave some room for interpretation. We want to inspire people and focus them on a direction, not railroad them onto a path.
Avoid hard requirements. There will never be an “airbrush” challenge for example as many of us just don’t have access to one. We cater to painters of all skill levels, and all ages.
Technical challenges are fine. We’ve had a few in the past. Where the topic is not the subject, but a style or technique.
Self serving ideas are fine. You have something on your bench you need help with? As long as your phrase the subject in a way that fits the other criteria, go for it.
Title should be short and sweet. Get the idea across in just a few words.
Give me the full description (optional) I’m much more likely to select a topic that already has the 2-5 sentences of full text I can just C/P into the body of the poll. I will probably edit it a little, but not having to generate all the fluff makes things easier for me, which is a good thing.
All topics going onto a big list even if they are not picked for the current month. If yours doesn’t make it into the poll, all is not lost. Although seasonal ones tied to specific times might have to wait a bit for their next chance.

Irregular: All’s fair in war. Not everyone is going to engage in a standup fight on a field of battle. Irregulars could be militia, guerrillas, mercenaries, or partisans. They could be warriors who specialize in hit and run warfare. Alternatively, you could interpret “irregular” to refer to a camo pattern that breaks up the shape of the subject.

 Nevelon wrote:

So what you're saying is I should paint this month's entry instead of this completely unrelated thing I've been slapping paint on for most of the month? Huh, that doesn't sound like procrastination. Are you sure that works?

As for a new topic:

Jeepers Creepers Chaos Peepers - Paint something that deviates from the norm. Be it Chaos corruption or radioactive mutation, classic Frankensteining or bolting enough junk on a Toyota to make it fit for a Mad Max movie, as long as the original or intended form is corrupted/enhanced, it fits.

NewTopic: Id like to see technical challenge like a limited palette challenge. For me that is fun.

One is finished, if I have time I'll get the other one too.
Tried nmm again, still can't get it smooth.
There is not really any wiggle room with nmm, but I did try to cut some corners by not stripping the model and just painting over the old paint.

Last time I tried to buy something from them, like 3-4 years ago, they charged me shipping per item, more items I added to the basket the higher the shipping got.

I’m not going to tell you how to procrastinate. You need to follow your heart on that one. I took a little side quest on my entry to work on the mini of the month.

Mothsniper wrote:NewTopic: Id like to see technical challenge like a limited palette challenge. For me that is fun.

We could try a color theme, like “Seeing Red” or “Black and White” “Shades of Grey” Or more basic like “Green” and people could either go litteral with shades, or paint something evocative of the color, like green with envy or a zealot with a binary us/them world view. We did 3 color maximum once, to restrict people to a limited pallete. That was interesting.

I've always had a soft spot for the Quareen as a race, I don't know why.

Aqua Droids



I really enjoyed doing the bases on these. I wasn't sure how the Kamino flooring in particular would turn out, but it's stark and simple.

Finally! an excuse to get back to some Blood Angels. I've had these upgrade stl's for a year now and I can finally print some of them out.

Thanks ! Means a lot! =)

All done in oil paints actually after a dark blue/white zenithal with an airbrush.

I caved in an took out the cadmium red for the copper instead of magenta though, couldn't make a good red from what I had. I took a break from it to do something else, I need to finish that dude.

@Snafu
Top work sir!
I love to see when people use simple palettes or tools to squeeze maximum impact and payoff.

Oils, interesting...
The only time I used oils on a mini was my very first kit I got.
It was rough.


Are oils different than acrylics for nmm? I will need to give it a try.
Do you use terpenoid, Japan dryer, galkyd linseed or Liquin with oils for miniature painting?
And basic acrylic based for the primer yes?




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Finished.
Used up few bits, rescue accomplished.

@Mothsniper

Thanks again, and if they hadn't already deep bathed in alcohol you'd see my own first attempts with oils... It was, something...

Now I can't see myself go back to acrylics though, even though I don't paint enough I LOVE playing with oils far too much.

Standard primer for me works perfectly, though if you don't do a zenithal primer, i'd go for white/light colour primer instead of black. I discovered Molotow street paint, they work great and with lots of colours choices.
I use standard white spirits and linseed oil for dilution, though I may not dilute all the time when there is an acrylics base coat, when you blend it smooths out like a glaze, so straight from the tube before spreading it on the mini it is.

For TMM i'm sometimes adding liquin to the metallics colors but it's because those semi-opaque pigments have a weird behaviour I still don't have a good grasp on, these metallics are weirds paints truly... Might invest into enamels metallics when I got money, so I don't have to deal with thoses anymore...

Never got good NMM out of acrylics, but in oil my process would be like anything else, apply the paint with one brush then wet blend it with another brush that stay clear of spirits for the session. Sorry if i'm not clear enough...

Poll for next month’s topic is up

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/818587.page

My entry are 5 Thunder Warriors, The Emperor's first attempt at Space Marines.

Nice work all. Still plenty of time, but keep an eye on the calendar.

I do enjoy the arctic camo I do on the phobos guys. Goes on pretty easy, and is a lot more forgiving then a lot of other schemes. Got about another dozen waiting in the wings from KT. Probably not get them done before the rules change, but they always have room to join the 40k army.

I just need to get photos taken!

They were 3d printed Black Templars, that I removed the insignia, and swapped the heads, and some of the weapons from.

As a reminder, you can have 6 pictures. So if you want to get some close ups of minis for more detail, you can.

Yes it does make sense.
Then I will have to try oils!

I heard good things of Molotow, haven't tried them yet.
Man, I been struggling trying to get smooth nmm transitions. The only reason I want to do it, is to do it well once so I can prove to me self that I hang with the cool kids, and then never do nmm ever again lolz. My pile of shame is just too large for high quality styles, and I want to wrap it up while I got time.
So, maybe oils is what I need.

Question - did you notice significant increase in dry time when using linseed oil or not really? I would assume not really with how little of it used.
I got some home made StandOil that been sitting for over 10 years, its the good stuff.

Since I have a week, I'm trying to see if I can squeeze in some henchmen for my Inquisitor while I'm at it. I started & almost finished one yesterday.

We’ve got a week left, time to stop procrastinating. Today. Maybe tomorrow…

If you need an extension feel free to ask.

Well, that mini is getting on my nerves a little bit so, baring any last minutes touch-ups, here is my entry for this month:



@Mothsniper Yes adding oil will lengthen the drying times: if you add a lot for a glaze for example, the surface might be workable up to around a week I think.

@theCrowe: It's great to see a Lamenter They don't get enough love.

I realize time is short: Here are some possible Space Marines that I could try to paint before the end of the month, though probably only one of them.

I never found Kharn's head or pistol, and while the scout was fun to paint, he ended up kind of monotone, so I'll be entering these guys:

Nexus Marine cyborgs:

Black Lgionnaires

So far. The colour I used was supposed to be bone white it is Army painter speed paint Plaid Bone , but it went funny. I think it looks ok , the cracking that occurred has added an interesting texture I guess.

Since I took this picture I have dropped him and broke the sword off the hand. So supergluimg that later. Lol

Great work everyone.

I picked this Sergeant to start putting paint on:

Good works guys! love to see it.

Hi, all.

Gonna try to get back into entering this as a way to keep myself producing.

Here is my proof - I will probably do the Dread, I think.

Good luck to everyone!

Progressing:

Should probably post to here at some point. Decided to do some battletech power armor guys:


and finished battle armor in Lyran Guard colors:




And bundled up to make things easy for Nevelon:

Lyran Guard Inner Sphere Standard battle armor

My space marines are completed. Some more Blood Angels! They seem to be a popular chapter. I'm glad I was finally able to print off some of those BA stl's that I purchased a year ago.

I finished another henchman for my Inquisitor last night! Not sure if I'll get the last two done in time but we'll see. I have four of my six photos done at least. I know I'm cutting it close

Finally managed to make some progress on the models I started a couple of weeks ago, so here’s the proof:



And the progress:


Power armour - check
Holy bolter - check
Unflinching, zealous destruction of the Holy Emperor’s enemies - check

Sounds like Space Marines to me…

Nev I'm going to request a slight extension and get my photos posted the evening of the 1st (not a prank) looks like im going to be away for most of tomorrow evening and have a few bits still to do.

Continuing my ongoing protest against Space Marines...I present some really tiny models of WW2 Allied sailors (so they are in a marine environment...but definitely not in space)


All five are converted with some head swaps, arm and head adjustments, and two have life vests add, etc.

There are about the size of a penny. But not as small as Vejut's Battletech infantry.

Cheers,

Looking forward to the next challenge now

Great work all! We can go ahead and grab the extra day (no fooling) and wrap it up on Thursday the 2nd first thing.

Hopefully I get my last two henchmen done today and get my photos done tonight, I am so close to my end goal!

My Knights Sanguine Space Marine Assault Bikes, noticed I had a lot of squads painted but very few vehicles so went for these, also i think they are my first primaris style models I've painted too. Should have done a few more details like drill out the gun barrels and exhausts but ran out of time. Overall fairly happy with them.
