hey thanks thats a really good idea mate cheers

Hmm just throwing this out there. What colour should i paitn my bolters a metalic dark colour or a flashy red, help me out here guys

Heres an attempt at camo, not sure if i like it what you think guys??

another guy

Heres the whole squad 80% finished still waiting on my stupid washes to arrive in the mail damn you SD. for my first minis im happy with them still really just trying to learn techniques. my hnads shake like all gak so cant really paint for any more than 2 hrs before i gotto take a break. i think i will start on one of my rhinos next. Im halfway through converting inquisitor corteaz he will serve as my chapter master just awaiting some bibs and bobs to arrive in the mail and he will be ready for his undercoat will post pics when his ready

like the camo! maybe a few more greys?

It needs a darker gray to help it stand out from the background of the cloak.

Hey thanks for the comments and tips

the bases make me feel like i can't base (although i always feel like that coz i can't base)

lol

Hers my converted inquisitor as my chapter master and also a converted AOBR vetran sargeant im tmepted to use him as a captain or something i think the hammer and articifer plasma pistol look sweet C&C most welcome

That idea is okay. I use painter's tape or thumb tac, they both work on all surfaces!

EDIT Sorry apply this message to the last one on the first page!

hey thanks i trued using sticky taped was bit messy will try blue tac next time

the inquisitor looks like he's been soaked in glue, but otherwise he is awesome. The captain's wargear is cool but the pose is quite unnatural. I think they'll both look great when painted.


1 quick question. Have you made an army list? if so can you post it here?

1 Chapter Master ( thunder hammer , plasma pistol, articifer armour)

Terminaters ( 5 men, power fists, storm bolters, sargeant with power sword )

Dreadnought ( multi melta, auto cannon )

Chaplain Dreadnought ( Plasma cannon, CCweapon W/ storm bolter )

Tactical squad ( 10 men, missile launcher, flamer)

Scouts (5 men, sniper rifles, missile launcher, camo cloaks)

Devestastators (5 men, las cannon, plas cannon, missile launcher, multi melta, power fist, plasma pistole)+ Rhino (strom bolter, searchlight)

Devestastators (5 men, las cannon, plas cannon, hvy bolter, hvy bolter, chain saw, plasma pistole)+ Rhino (strom bolter, searchlight)

Predator Destructor (Auto cannon, las cannon sponsons)

this is just a rough one at the moment

cool, can you show the points.

some stuff that cropped up.

1. you cant have a dreadnought with both a multi-melta and auto cannon.

2.with the devastator squads, I'd drop 1 or 2 heavy weapon and replace them with bolters. other wise you'll just get all your heavy weapons shot down in the first turn.

in the 5th ed rule book it says that you can swap the close combat weapon for either a twin las cannon or twin auto cannons. and i might just add 2 extra marines with bolters to my dev squads

lol quadrupal post. any way just realised it does say so. sorry for my stupidity

lol not at all bro all C&C welcome

Check out this sweet mini i just brought of ebay
im going to use him as a mounted captain with power sword and storm shield
the horse just counts as a bike
what do you thnk??

Heres my new scout camo sceme and my half painted chapter master C&C welcome

And my first rhino with hand painted markings

The Coteaz Conversion is really cool. Are you going to stick a back pack on him?

i thought about it but it looks to bulky so for fluff sake im going to say it is articifer armour and long ago the adepts of mars crafted a micro power source

Ok, well anyway you do it, the model is easily an excellent representation of a Chapter Master. The camo is actually well, done. It doesn't actually camouflage the model on the table while still retaining the thematic elements of a heavily concealed urban sniper team. If your opponents give you crap for basing them on big bases, I say find newer opponents.

hey thanks alot what do you think of the mounted captain i might swap the head for a templar crusader helm

I say yes, those heads look awesome, and have so much personality

Nice freehand too

hmmm now i just have to find one :(

WOW you've made ALOT of progress. that horse captain is cool but your chapter master is cooler. I like the highligh in the CM. The freehand on the rhino is great! 1 tip i got from littleblueboys. If its a flat colour paint the surounding area white (you can paint over black when done) then take a 2 b pencil and skentch lightly your design on. there you go, oh and also that camo on the snipers is AWESOME ^0^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great work. Keep it up.
