Great work mate. Love the storm talon. How do you make grey so interesting!?

Revivers look fantastic. Time for some Imperial Fists?

Also...want to recognise the quality photos. I know that’s not the objective here but they really are nice and clear, and glare free.

Usually I'M not a huge fan of painting the clear platic canopies (I also like cockpits too much to cover them up), but it goes really well with the strong cartoonish look on the space sharks here. Looks very mechwarrior.

Hey everybody! Thanks for all the interest again!
@Sigur: a rare delight...always a fan of your prolific work. Cheers
@cam: definitely don’t know anything except that painting always reminds me I don’t know nothin about nothin!!!
@San: it will be a long time before I have a desire to paint yellow again...and if I do it, I’m gonna Have to learn a different way of painting it. This way it was just too laborious.
@ inevitable faith: thanks man! I am definitely pleased with the final product and happy to mainly have just completed it to a standard that I’m not utterly disappointed with!

This next update combines a few finished projects, in regards to the space sharks. I finished the last 2 of 5 primaris intercessors, and two out of three of the inceptors. I also finished the primaries captain! This model was quite fun however this will probably be the last time I ever paint a head that is glued onto the model. Especially in this case It was a stupid move to glue it on before painting. Oh well, I made up for it by having some fun on the power fist! These models are really fun to paint and I’ve got it down to pretty
much a science now I could do the scheme on any model in the army. Progress! :-)

Cheers guys!

Nice job, BB. Looking excellent. Especially the captain.

That translucent white stripe on the fist really gives it a shiny look.

THanks Dr H i was definitely going for that!! Glad it registers

Finished up the last of the 3 inceptors from the know no fear box. I just gave up on that stupid ass lift and stuck a rod in. Ill redo all three bases like this so they are uniform but i cant be worried about the slightest knock about with these dudes so precariously perched on this plastic hand. Fk that. ALSO beginning WIP of the biggest project so far for this army. The crown Jewel. The Primaris Librarian. A super cool mini and not cheap. So im giving this one all the TLC. I could use some advice on how to tie him in....HIs armor is a richer blue nmm than the usual darker blue, ill still have all the aqua glows and bits which are represented on every model, but any thoughts on the grey? I might just have to leave it to the chapter insignia...the robes will be the same black that the other two character models are,

Which head are you going to use? That might be a good spot to either do shark skin or grey armor.

That leg looks unbelievable! Lib is coming along really well. I'd be inclined to reserve the grey chapter colours for the shoulder and perhaps a knee? I personally don't advocate for straying too far from codex displays of where marine colours belong.

But that's just the way i'd do it! And by no means can I replicate paint work anywhere near your standard - so obviously at the end of the day the choice is yours! You have the mini in front of you, do what you think feels best.

Lovely work, BB.

From what I'm aware, librarians tend to only have the shoulder pad in the chapter colour. I'm not familiar enough with the model to know what else might be possible to colour beyond that.

Librarian is looking amazing from what I can see! I’m terms of tying him in, given the different finish on his armour, could you tie him in with grey cloth?

You guys thanks for the encouragement and the feedback!! Since everyone had such good input, i pretty much took everyones advice.

@whaley: Head choice, thanks to you, paintined to match my shark helmets. Opted out of unhelmeted version
@LDP/DrH: Shoulder pad (knee was too crucial to nmm to give up for chapter colors)
@San: when just shy of black for the robes to keep it more sharky.

@Gits and Knightley! Thanks fellas

OK so hes done. AND since i took a ton of pics i couldnt decide on a favorite angle so im just dumping them all here and in no particular order. Stoked to have my 3rd character painted up for the army!!












Cheers you guys....next up 10 intercessors.

Damn Bebop.... he looks amazing. You’ve really nailed that finish. I think colouring the helm in chapter colours was a great choice as well.

Came together very well. I think the black robes work well, and the shoulder and head are enough grey to really tie him in with the rest of the force.

Beautiful work bebop. I love the way you handled the armor highlights and the horizontal strokes on the cloak. Very well done.

Thanks you guys appreciate the encouragement! Next STOP: ive got 5 intercessors already built and primed. Im pretty sure i can at least fully paint those 5 and get the prerequisite 3 different paints (to count for "painted" in the slow grow) on the last 5 by the end of the month! Fingers crossed.
