What a crisp paintjob! Amazing!
The only criticism I have is that the transfer on the tank still has a glossy shine around the edges, but that's me really nitpicking. Good job!

Amazing stuff. Really impressive. I would love to hear more about any background to the chapter.

@phloop yeah the buggers silvered up on me and I'm still working on fixing that, serves me right for being lazy lol

@ravening I would recommend reading "orphans of the kraken" as that is the most current fluff. But essentially fought a fighting withdrawal against hivefleet kraken including they're home world being overrun and a "last stand" at the giants coffin on mirals world. The remnants withdrew to recover, now using scout squads to reclaim lost equipment and fallen gene seed ( even from other chapters). The remaining battle brothers are heavily deployed with the deathwatch in return for a release of gene seed from the inquisition to rebuild they're chapter.

very cool,i agree the clours have came out clean and crisp.
keep up the good work.

The broken base is a cool concept I havent seen before. Good paints all around as well.

I like the little conversion you did on the speeder, with the assault cannon now on the HB mount. Quick and looks really cool.

Your paintjob is really crisp and I'm jealous of the clean lines on that Rhino. Good luck with finishing off this army, I look forward to seeing whatever's next! A Dreadnought maybe, it'd fit the fluff from what I understand and would look really cool.

@Josh you won't be seeing a dreadnaught as all were supposed to be lost, as well as there terminators and anything bigger than a rhino chassis.

There is a razorback nearly finished to be posted soon and a librarian I have just started with WIP's on my blog.

Beautiful!

Man, are these nice and crisp. Super paint job all around. The colors just pop.

One question: Where are the Scythes (the Chapter symbol, not the chapter itself)?

@da butcha I'm planning on doing all the chapter and squad markings at once so they look consistent. I'm also considering having some moulded shoulder pads made up for me.

Wow! Thats is a great paint job al around. Cant wait to see the Chapter badges! What is your quick tip for such smooth paint?

Quite a handsome scheme, AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT LANDSPEEDER!

Loving this colour scheme, awesome job!

@bloodwulf multiple thin layers and Vallejo model colour glaze medium is the key.

What's the secret to your yellow?

Sweet work mate, I've subscribed now, nice job with the normal marine leading the scouts

@matrim

1.flat base coat of iyanden darksun
2.shade with wash of thinned graveyard earth
3.shade deep recesses with wash of scorched brown.
4.first highlight of 50:50 iyanden:Vallejo game colour golden yellow
5.second highlight with vgc golden yellow
6.third highlight 50:50 vgc golden yellow:vmc ivory
7.glaze with 50:50 mix of yellow ink:red ink

Or there abouts anyway the proportions and number of coats tend to change from model to model.

Hope that helps

@crimson welcome aboard! The sniper sergeant is my 'counts as' telion. Just trying to portray a bit of how the in "orphans of the kraken" they describe the reclamation squads as being marine lead scout units.

Ahhhh right, well, consider that idea stolen UNCLEBADTOUCH

i love the contrast between the yellow and the black! excellent work!

Very nicely painted and excellent bases.

Lovely work.

Looks great, I've always thought of the Scythes as one of the paint scheme's I would do if I went vanilla marines, good to see them so well done

Great army it is painted really well and clean. I really like the colour scheme.

@crimson like I've never stolen an idea rofl

AWESOME miniatures, paint-jobs... everything!

On an especially cool Chapter too - nice job!

It really is a really way painted few models! I have the same criticism though, maybe try and fix the glossy edges of the transfers. Aside from that, really decent and well painted models!

I like them alot, but I think the chapter symbol on their shoulder pads would really make them pop.

Looking great! Very clean and crisp!!

Some of the best painted yellow I have seen! Awesome work
