Well the Chaplain in Terminator Armour seems a nice idea. How about rather than a single model a diorama a last stand would be nice a hard pressed heroic mob of Orks fighting of the hordes of surrounding barbarian Marines or something like that!

I like how youve painted some of the armour on the Chapie in the color of your army i might do that myself =D

I was thinking maybe doing a terminator librarian in marble or off white armour for GD. I also thought about doing a really battered up LR being cleaned, painted and fixed up by a horde of servitors and a techmarine. What do you think?

Now that sounds cool.

Qft, that does sound cool.

Really nice work on the chappie there.

I was asking as im doing A2s at the moment (chemistry, biology and maths) and was just curious!!

I love what you have done here. Another painter that paints their SM to look like they work for a living. Love it all. Keep up the awesome work. The best SoO I have seen to date.

Now the Land Raider cleaning I like.......It just seems something utterly unique which I've never seen with 40K elements. its far more a diorama modeller thing which is good. Although I must admit you've now got "Working at the Carwash" stuck in my head!

Had a great 8 hour session today, so unsurprisingly I got a lot done. As you shall see in the pictures.

And here they are.

I don’t know about you but I am very pleased with the chaplain. I was relatively quick to paint and of a high enough standard for a local competition maybe.


The first 3 terminators finished. Well... 99% finished, I still have the purity seals to paint.


The army so far. I’m really looking forward to the arrival of the dreadnoughts!

Thanks for all your comments so far keep them coming!

Gorgeous!

I love it They look great as individuals , but arent over that top so they'll look even better united on the battlefield ( ment in a good way , I thought it sounded kinda 'your guys are so bad they only look good from 3 feet away on the field')

Great work.

Your squad looks incredibly realistic - the bases pull it all together. The subdued, dusty paint scheme really looks good.

Looking great. I like your background sheet for photography too. Where did you get that from?

My photo background is just the inside cover of a large book I have at home.

I started assembling the second tactical squad today and finally got round to painting the last member of the first squad. I haven't got any pics today but there will be an update tomorrow or the day after with plenty of them

SoO

Well... after what seems lake absolutely ages the first tactical squad is 100% complete!

And here are some pictures


I had an idea today and I was wondering what you people think. I’m going to carry on the Sons of Orar scheme but mix it up a bit to give the models some more individuality. E.g. have some marines with red helmets shoulder pads etc. and paint other parts of them white like hands or feet or torso etc.

Good idea or bad idea?

For space marines I concider it a bad idea , unless its something along the lines of "captains have red helmets , but instead they have white knee pads/greaves ."

For an Ork Clan it would be a good idea hwoever , as they arent as organized as the marines are

Bad ideá, stick to white heads and shoulders. Or else they wont look like sons of orar. It's like any other chapter, you don't paint a white scars marine in any other colors than red and white as an example.

Still going bloomin damn brilliant!

Cant wait to see it all finished.

You are an inspiration to us all!

On the contrary, I think changing up the colors is a great idea, but you should do it in an organized fashion. Maybe reverse the color for veteran, assault, or devastator squads to make them stand out. This way it seems as if there is a reason for their different coloration, as opposed to making your army look unorganized.

I think Smeezilla has a pont you dont want everything looking the same as it might drive you mad keep up the good work my friend.

Its your army, its your choice. I reckon that you're a painter more than a gamer, so do what looks cool in your eyes! But if you want to get into the fluff you could write a legend about Orar, how he touched the armour of his warriors who showed the most courage, and those parts of armour were painted white as a mark of respect.

So you can mix up your white shoulder pads, helmets, arms etc..

Keep up the awesome work!

[edit] ps. loving the purple plasma cannon and gun!!

I love the plasma cannon too.

Im soo impressed with your army!
You are spending alot of time on each and every model!

I wish i hade the time for that.

Awesome work as always, Geting home to check out Dakka and finding an update with pics of your awesome marines is a real highlight of my day, keep up the amazing work!

Subscrib'd. This is fantastic. Go late-teen gamers!

Its like s.j.mccartney says you're a painter, so go with the visual. Don't let fluuf get in the way of an awesome idea, its designed to inspire not constrict what we as gamers come up with.

Dude that is some sweet weathering you got there. love the way the white turns out.

You my good gamer, are doing an absolutely fantastic job with your paint job, and on the work of your models.
