I kinda like the pink marine......I was very well painted.

Also that bronze Marine.....That is some of the best bronze I have seen yet, really nice and smooth!

Thnx guys that blows some confidence my way

Hey no problem. Wish I could paint bronze like that! Here is a Tyranid that Imperial Renegade gave to me as a break from Marines! MAN! Are they hard to take good pics of.... it looks better in person.

Remember to click the pic for a better image.

He looks awesome! i love painting models from other armies

Looks good mike! I really cant wait to do those guys in behemoth. I like the orange highlight....looks great! Also, what is on the carapace??? It looks great!

That's one of the slug-like creatures you get with the termagaunt boxed set.

Its layered. Start with drybrushing Astronimican Grey on. Then drybrush ice blue. Then straight skull white. I glazed Asurman blue on also.

Here is a better pic of em'(the pink one is so pink that the flash is hiding the model lol)

lookin good man! If you blend the eyes it would really make them nice! WHERE DID YOU GET THE SHOULDER PAD ON THE POWER FIST MARINE!!!!! I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!! I see you have taken to doing what I do with the helmet rebreather. Paint it silver and heavily wash it so that you dont have to highlight it.

What, no pics of the third company??? lol Really like the marines you got there. Its that purple and pink that makes that paint job beliveble. It looks great!

I like your marines.. subbed..

Which ones? Wolfs or mine? The third company only have red rims on the shoulder pads. besides that they are no different.

Yours, you said it was updated with 3rd company. Thought you had posted pics thats all. Im going to update my blog tonight, so look out! Muahhhaaaa

Ah yes, quite simpel and effective HONAW.

The shoulder pad i used came with the GK marines box(the other one with a book on it has taken place on a Wolf Knight you can see in my previous image(the one with the hammer))

Diz one masta!

Cool! Those shoulderpads remind me of SW ones......

Wish I had those! I have been wanting to get the dark angel bitz box for a long time to use the cloaks for my command squad!

He He He......um........my blogs updated.......

Wait, I see that you changed the title. Are you two working on some project together or something?

Not really just a blog of 2 people doing SM paintjobs

My mind just kept going back to those badly molded arms on my devestators.....so I clipped those arms off of those guns and redid the arms with regular arms and shoulder pads. They have a better look to. Notice the plasma devestator doing a dance move!

HONAW invited me to join his blog as i have space marines too and my own blog was not going too well so here i am!

Being lazy and copy-pasted a bit of my introduction from my own blog:


''Hi, im Wolf_Ov_The_Void(nickname Solid & real name Paulo)
I'm a new member here and i've done a lil' introduction in my ''new member topic''
I have a backlog of over 200 of models and stuff so here goes a little of my backlog that i know of:

Dreadnought
Dreadnought
5 Wolf scouts
+/- 25 Blood Claws
+/- 20 Grey Hunters
8 Skyclaws
10 Wolf Guard Terminators

Landraider Crusader
Predator
Predator(1st edition stripped and fixed)
Rhino
8 Wolf Knights(elite SW for apoc)
^All here only needs painting^

Landspeeder(assembled)

Chaos Marines:
Selfmade obliterator(Idea stolen from Nite_Owl, busy with greenstuffin')
A bunch of Chaos space marines(regular,berserkers and some 1ksons) from a friend of mine who quit 40k and gave me some marines (they took a dettol bath and i am building/fixing em atm)

Personalized Projects:
Some other marines that are getting converted/a custom paintjob.

Hello Marine ( a hello kitty space marine for my girlfriend,almost done)
4 Ork boyz, always wanted to paint some orks, bought a box of 4 of em'and i'm painting those atm. ''

Nice SW force you have. I cant wait to see them! I must say Orks are great for getting away from the stale Imperium for awhile painting wise! What does that 2nd edition Tech priest look like? I always love to see old edition to see how far they have come!

You have space wolves??????/!!!!!!! I love SW!!! Post pic Please! Ive just got into SW recently, and actually would really like to know what you think. Link to my blog is in the sig.

BTW, How do you get the link to go orange like Honaws?

When you have your blog open you go to the address of the page and copy and paste.

@ Imperial Renegade

Your Space Wolves look cool!
Personally i hate the blue-ish colour GW has given them and i basecoat them with Adeptus Battlegrey and then i do this(basic marine):

1. Paint left shoulderpad Iyanden Darksun.
2. Paint right shoulderpad Mechrite Red.
3. Paint recesses black and clean up with Adeptus Battlegrey.
4. Paint mouthpiece/inner joints/exhaust vents and metals Boltgun Metal and Wash with Devlan Mud.
5.Paint the 'paper' of the purity seal Bleached Bone and the stamp piece warlock purple or blood red and wash both with Devlan Mud.
6. Paint eyes Scorpion Green/Blood Red/Ice blue.
7. Paint backpack exhaust and knee/elbow pads Gold(home made mix of some metallic white paint, Shining Gold and Vallejo Gold).
8. Skulls, Bleached Bone and Devlan Mud wash.

That's all i have now and it was a bit quick(i'm at work excuse me)

Hope i helped out/gave some inspiration!

Cheerz!


EDIT: For rusted parts(like powerfist fingers/knuckles) i basecoat Scorched Brown, drybrush Boltgun Metal and Highlight Chainmail

That does help a lot! For my receses, I was the model with bada black first, and the just toutchup around the receses. I find I like doing my backpacks black, then Highlighted with Codex Grey.

Ohyeah and i am learning to highlight atm, for that i use Fortress Grey,
I paint the recesses because the washing method is quite a paint-spiller because you are touching up on parts that wouln't need it if you painted the recesses black

Just my 2 cents


Wolf

But a good two cents! I just got done with a Marine...........but I messed up and wont be able to sleep well knowing that its messed up. Into the stripper!
