Finished the arms on the dread, so that makes it a Dread in a day.







Now I can start on my Kantor counts-as.

SoG

Can't help thinking that they all need more purity seals or open books or somthing.

But other than that its awsome.

@oggers: I might add some when it's all said and done.

I managed to get work done on the Kantor counts-as. He will be known as Captain Jungor. If anyone can guess why he's named that, they get a cookie.

Here he is:



I have a question though. Should I make the trim around the kneepad gold or leave it the bone colour?

SoG

I think you should leave it as it is (the kneepad) you could do some freehand if you want something more special?

I managed to mostly finish Jungor today. He needs something in the circle of his banner (suggestions welcome) and some touch ups. I'm not completely happy with how the cloak ended up but it'll do for now.





SoG

Got the third sergeant finished.



I have nothing else to paint that's primed so I'll be building until a warmer day comes.

SoG

Wow! I really love this color scheme!

Very nice work overall, bravo.

Was all I could think of when I read the title of this thread. Nicely painted though.

Got lots of priming done today, and did a quick tutorial on painting bone.

Painting Bone by SonofGuilliman

Paints Needed



Or if you only have GW colours...



Stages



Step1: Paint a coat of Bestial Brown. Doesn't have to be neat, just has to be over the areas you want to paint bone.

Step2: Apply Menoth White Base or Bleached Bone over Bestial Brown. Will take roughly 3 coats of Menoth White Base to cover smoothly and probably 4+ coats of Bleached Bone for the same effect.

Step3: Apply Gryphonne Sepia over chosen bone colour.

Step4: Add highlights around edges. Chosen bone colour to start around all edges, followed by a 1:1 coat of bone plus white around sharp edges and middles of areas. (I.e. Top and bottom of knee pads, and above the foot, etc.).

Automatically Appended Next Post:
I had a spare AoBR Sergeant that I wanted to replace my old Sergeant with so that he's more in line with the rest of the other Sergeants, so I did a quick conversion on him.





I simply removed the inner part of the shoulder pad, cut the trim off the one I wanted, and glued the two together. Need to fill some gaps but other than that, it's pretty simple and effective.

SoG

Managed to mostly get the 6 marines done. Need to do their backpacks and then they're done. I still need to do the Missile Launchers and backpacks for the other 2 marines and then the 2 squads are done. After that, it's on to 5 terminators.





SoG

any chance you can tell us what size drill bit you used for the Lighting Claws, looking to do the same so I can swap weapons around on my AOBR terms. thank you in advance.

I used about a 1/16 bit for the lightning claws, but that's just because I used a paper clip pin for them. You'll want a 5/64 for the AoBR stuff.

SoG

Got the rest of the tactical marines that I was working on finished.







Next up are 5 Terminators.

SoG

I really like the whold army. The bone colour looks great for, especially as its over lots and lots of models.
As fas as Jungor is ocncearned, he lacks individuality. I think if you made the cloak a muted(stress muted) blue colour and work the gold up just a little more to seperate it form the bone, it will look trully astounding.
My first impusle for the space no the banner was a bloodied space marine head, but obviously not. Prehapse a glorified version of your armies symbol?
Overall, it'd be a delight to play this army, because it'd look so unified.

Amazing color scheme and very nice painting!

@Bascilica: Blue doesn't go with purple so I'm hesitant to go with that. I think he's fine for now in any case.

Also, I managed to finish 4 of the 5 terminators. The other terminator's body is done, I just need to paint his arms.









Will have an army shot up tomorrow once I finish the last terminator.

SoG

Nice color scheme. The purple and bone are executed very well. Psyched for the army shot!

I managed to finish off my last terminator:



Which means that I have taken an army pic of what's painted so far.



SoG

Very Striking
unique

IMHO, you should make the symbol in the circle an iron cross with a or symbol in the middle.

I have a Command Squad, 10 Man Vanguard Squad, 10 Man Tactical Squad, Venerable Dreadnought, Terminator Sergeant, Captain, 4 Assault Marines, and maybe a bit more to do.

Here's what I've got done so far.

Axes for the Mk4 Vanguard Squad x4 of 6-8.



Pad prototype for said squad



A pair of Assault Marine bodies



Missile Launcher Marine body



Command Squad Veteran



Should have more work on stuff tomorrow.

SoG

More work done on the command squad.



Guy with white arms will be the Apothecary. I think I'll redo the eyes on the far right Veteran.

SoG

Got the Apothecary finished. He'll have friends once I finish the rest of the squad.



Should have more updates tomorrow.

SoG

Small update. Lots more on the way but this is the only model for now that's completely painted.

Standard AoBR Terminator Sergeant for my second Terminator Squad.



SoG

Wait... 2 10 man terminator squads???? or are you splitting them up?

I managed to get a fair bit done today.

Command Squad





Tactical Squad





Captain



I still have to paint the guns/backpacks for the tactical marines, the captain, and a 5th member of the command squad by Sunday.

SoG

I managed to finish off the tactical squad today.









I need to finish off the captain, the last command squad member, and the banner for the squad. On that note, how should I go about that? The banner I mean.

SoG

The only reason I can see for you naming him Jungor is that you wanted to substitute one philosopher for another.
Jung for Kant?

Really digging the bleached bone and purple. Very nicely painted. HOWEVER the plain bases really make them look unfinished - you should get something on there asap, even if it's as simple as sand and static grass.

Arkion, you get a cookie:



The bases are only temporary so they're pretty basic for now. When I get the new bases for them, they won't be so plain.

SoG

Put that cookie in the middle of the banner...
