@zambro, thanks and welcome to the insanity that is my mind in 3d
@shaso, he's an apothecary, normally they are white with the legion colors on their shoulder pad only. But some chapters only pick out a little of the armor as white.

Well starting the apothecary now.....you had your chance

Thanks much man

I am still looking I have a huge list of sites to go through and check out. And If anything I have two hirst arts molds to order that will work for me.

I also found I can do this with foam core but that is very difficult.

Oh hey I found the site I was looking for! Thank you so much @shaso it is Angry Badger Games

Except the kit is $75 so I will probably just grab the one from gamesworkshop xD

Like a lot of angry badger stuff, but price plus shipping equals NO.

Well I started the apothecary, idea was good, but I forgot how bad I was at painting white


I think he'll sit to the side for som time. What next

Buy some warmachine/hordes and paint them up.

@Nafarious: Glad to have helped!

@Theo: Yellow and white are the hardest.

Not much happening, lots of school stuff, and dr. Appointment for daughter. Also got hooked on watching "the walking dead", I'm not much for zombie stuff, but this is more about the survivors than the zombies.

^ Try 'Death Valley' I loved the first series it's quirky and funny and gory and Zombie, everything you need in a show :-)

How old are your kids Theo? I do a zombie survival rpg/board game with my pupils that they love, happy to send you a copy.

My oldest is 10(Sarah), and the twins are 8(zack and Lilly), we haven't let them watch anything like this on t.v., maybe we've sheltered them too much . If you can send me a PDF of it I'll take a look at it though. Email address will be pad to you shortly .

I am happy, Netflix finally got season 3 of Walking Dead in.

I'm in season 2, just saw the barn massacre , listening in the background is bad for schoolwork, I keep turning and getting sucked away for hours .

Broke away from schoolwork to paint and clear my head of numbers and formulas.

He is the FW event only figure from a year or so ago, his shield is elsewhere. I figure his armor can be the new space marine relic armor. The shield can go on another character to be that relic. Still lots to do on him like all his awards and knife. Maybe Thursday.

Theophony wrote:Back from church, feel like painting a bit, might start the apothecary, but the wife may have other plans . If I get to him tonight or tomorrow I just have one question. How should I do his paint scheme?

1. Standard scythes scheme, but with white backpack and shoulders.
2. Standard yellow torso and pack with white limbs and helm (basically replace the black with white).
3. Completely standard paint scheme but with white helmet and pack.

Or your suggestions

i see this is what i get for when coming to join in latley...darn...
if i had my little say... i would have voted for a yellow apothecarious... figuring...you already have a very light color in your scheme...and thus a complete yellow apo would be the best choice in my view... keeping it in the scheme and still making him stand out...but i guess off white is always a good idea... specially if you have to face any rules slowed peeps

the one with the knuckle dusters is one hell of a cool idea... consider that stolen for sure!!! my inq squad needs some street wise cracks soon enough and that would be as classy as you can get!

i am sorry for dropping in so late... i am starting to recuperate from school life... we have autumn holidays atm... the whole family is together but i am also pretty sucked in the mojave desert too^^... that and a lack (i think now i am well over this...) to write anything...even chatting recently... and you got your absent vik excuses all there... sorry folks... i will hopefully remedy myself in the next few minutes

cheers, vik

And now we are in October,,,,Oktoberfest!

I'm glad your back, enjoy your holiday. Your absence has been sorely felt. Take time with the family, they are more important than us, also drink plenty of liquids after being in the desert for so long you'll need them.

Loving the idea of all yellow vik, may have to give him another bath in stripper, but I've seen other armies do similar to that and its worked out.

well... for all my sins... i do own a party finished SM army of my own doing...
the scheme is rather brownish...earthen you may say...as they are called the earth angels... and i did my own apo in a matching scheme to my other marines... but just slightly lighter... just to set him apart and keep him in the scheme as well...


so a yellow one for your army i think would look very spiffy...also... it would be cool if you would reverse just your general scheme...that could work on this one... but i guess you sooner will have some problems with the other specials like the libby or the chaplain...

and i missed you lot too... it isn´t the same here when i don´t chime in and have a wee chat for a day with you all!!!

The earth angels are great, I like the subtle change to the armor color. Just don't let dave see you with marines or he'll stop watching you too

I can't reverse he color scheme as he exact opposite is a chapter known as the marines malevolent. They have books about them from the black library, and some really great armies o them built on dakkadakka. And bolterandchainsword.com. I might take a look at what hey did and do something similar, thanks for reminding me of them.

The other option might be just change the chest to white instead of yellow, or skip it entirely. I could just make him an honorary apothecary as the chapter has been decimated and he has the most aptitude out of all of the remnant.

oh... didn´t knew about that chapter... but there are also just so many colors out there you are bound to step upon someone elses territory...
a mix of white and yellow i wouldn´t do... i think that character then would look too bland...

and i think dave should remember these... after all i started with them here on dakka... but i got bored with them... ^^ i also have an army of silver clad marines... these belong to my son oskar...



these soon need to get some work done as he likes them... they sit on lava bases of my own doing... and for him that´s as badass as he can dream up atm^^

That is a badass old school marine right there. Oskar should enter him into the competition the lava base is well executed, but I never understood any figure that would walk out onto a lavaflow with ammunition that could easily "cook off", much less the weight of the marine plus his armor might make him sink into the lava, I don't think the armor is rated for that temperature .

this armor does!!!

i think this is due to me explaining him about marines as superdudes... ( the irony totaly rolled off him )

I've also been neglecting my commenting duties, but I have been watching, just not had any useful ideas until now.

Have your Scythes got a third colour to go with the yellow and black?
Maybe use that in place of the black and give him a white chest and then use black as a spot colour... that should make him stand out, but also tie in with the rest of the army.

The third color is only a spot treatment, and its red. Not sure about changing the black to red though.

Here's the commander now. The red of the power weapon is temporary till I decide what color to paint it, any suggestions?

Red...hmm...not ideal but could be worse.
How about a very dark red... probably wouldn't work,
Or go the other way... no, that's pink... :(

Erm, maybe break up the yellow/white-ness of him with red... red and white say healer in any language (that's what he is, isn't he, a healer type?)

what if you did solid white and did the shoulder piping in yellow and the pads themselves black. thats how i did my apocathary when i had one for my custom chapter. im actually sad i got rid of them actually.

well another option would be a red chest eagle on black white shoulder pads and black piping...

dunno just tossing some ideas your way theo...sorry i havent said much either been in a funk too havent been doing much of anything.

@bama, no worries, I think we've all been on our own things lately. I'm pushing off too much school work right now .
@dr. H, no pink for the power weapons I was thinking green or purple, possibly blue, but green would be different.

The apothecary will be swimming tomorrow, might see him later. I just remembered I have figs sitting in the super clean that have been there awhile....months. They all should be metal so they should be okay.

Trying to dig through 1000heathens most excellent marines malevolent thread over at bolterandchainsword.com it's beautiful in its grittiness. I haven't been on that site for a long time, and he's got 49 pages to dig through.

I seem to say this a lot, but I read it somewhere and like to share this little gem; Yellow and Purple go well together and tend to bring out the yellow-ness/purple-ness in each other more than any other colour.

But then, green and red work well together so that may bring out the spot colour more...

Try holding a green or purple something next to the model and see which you like the look of...

Thanks dr. H, I'll try the different colors later

Decided I couldn't sleep if the apothecary stayed the same.

Backside

Still need to do all the vials, wires, tubes, and chainsword. I think there's a few other spots needed as well.

I'm liking how he turned out, only thing now that I'd change would be to give him armored arms, but that can still be talked away as him being quickly advanced through the scouts because of his medical skills and his new armored arms with the saw and needles is on backorder .

Okay, little more while watching more zombies just saw Shane get killed, and the herd is coming towards the farm

Herod axe is done. Simple, but I think I'll do them throughout the army this way.

Apothecary like that works for me!

Woah its like all the major people I follow around this site just congregated in one setting. The only person missing is Minion Dave, but I think he is being sucked in by Minecraft. You people are just about the only connection I have left to 40k but it's making me want to build up a new 40k army TT

keep up the good work and I will remain in my corner and cry about how not competitive Khador are in warmachine.

We flock to each others' threads, we are the =L=eague of Extraordinary Riveters.

Great work Theo, your painitng speed is as amazing as your scratchbuild speed... And you even managed to draw Vik out of retirement...
