the fact you coloured it bone

oh, ok
I thought the model needed contrast but yes he does look like a bird
Depending on the feedback at the gw I might repaint it, just not red, some sort of contrasting colour

sure maybe blue or yellow

Right, league update, two games played
game 1, 490pts against sm my, opponent was lacking 100pts and didn't realise until the third turn when he brought on a dreadnaught which I shot with a plasmagun before it even moved, in the end I had 3 objectives and he had just 3 termies left on the board.

Game 2, 560 pts against csm and I just avoided tabling, I managed to take 2 wounds off of my opponent's demon prince

My weekend project and first ever table, the pleasing thing to me is that this table used no specialist modeling parts, however I am stuck on whether to call it urban or lunar.

Now my truescale 'Chuck's' torso


I have been thinking of names for a land raider terminus and I thought
Exuro per meus obtutus sounded good, it means 'burnt by my gaze' in pig latin

Chuck should be bigger no change that tougher much tougher I have played (and beaten) Chuck noriss all 4s 2+ 2++ and 2+ cover and feel no pain with what was left after fighting orks a bolter took 2 wounds off and the heavy bolters did the rest

Waaah!orksrocks: Pardon?
My command squad minus officer, and I've just gotta say I love the new command squad boxed sets, all those bitz [drool]

cool drybrushing. what colours is it.

Red is scab red, red gore then blood red, then retouch black area clack and codex grey then fortress grey

Now the officer, layering is now my favourite technique (That I can do) This is the company commander so I lavished a bit of extra time on him:





I have just noticed that he appears to have no lips, This I don't think is noticable in person but if I get any comments at the club I will fix it with a baal red wash.

Onto a tech priest. I have begun to use badab black as a wash as opposed to black ink to shade my metals. Once painted it's amazing how chunky and mutated servitors look.




And servitors

cewl have you seen x-men Originsns wolverine right at the end your company commander is weapon 11 I think it was (for those who havnt seen it he was a chatterbox always talking and then at the end his mouth got sewn up)

hmm, actually I could write a bit of fluff about his mouth getting melted shut by a melta or something, thanks for the idea waaah!orksrocks

lol if he was hit by a melta shot to the face there is no way he could survive.

Melta core explosion? He was just far away enough to survive?

maybe a near miss?

mhmmmm possibly but a bit unlikely

Your layering on the Commissar is neato

Thanks
Just painted up a five man squad of tac marines and a drop pod. I hate the drop pod

The problem with the drop pod is that there are two ways to play it (the making that is), you can either glue it all together first and then not be able to do any real interior detail, or you can paint it separately then glue it together. I took option two and then spent the best part of a year putting it together, I got the damned thing last October!!!
AND my camera's batteries packed in before I could get an inside shot!

cool. did you make the kneeling guy?

oh, no that's the standard tactical kneeling legs

Interesting idea on the Primarch but that made me laugh. A primarch in this game isn't possible to represent. He would be something around WS15 BS15 ST10 T7 I9 W10 A10 LD10 SV2+ invuln 2+ eternal warrior...

He's off the charts. He would be an untouchable. Right now your primarch is a pretty SM Chapter Master. Primarchs could kill a chapter master by telling them to kill themselves. Most marines couldn't even look at their primarch for too long just because they would begin to weep.

I like the rest though XD. Especially the alternating color schemes on the marines, it makes them look a bit more individual and idk more likable.

strange.

Chicken you can get the kneeling legs from the devastator or the command squad boxes.

Now I know where I have seen those marines before.. ULTRAMAN! hahaha sorry man they just realy remind me of him.

ahhhhh. i just make my own!

Inside pick of the drop pod

Have you got a recipe for your red? it looks amazing!

Red is scab red, red gore then blood red drybrushed, then take a little codex grey and on your pallette rub it into your reds, then drybrush on lightly

I have finished my hellhammer! In the ,albeit distant, future I aspire to having some vostroyans in blue to acompany the hellhammer
