Update for today.
I have just finished assembling my Landraider Crusader. This was the old Metal kit and was a pain in the to assemble. I had bought the kit back in 2006 I assembled the hull and then got to the turrets and I thought stuff this. It has been sitting in the back of my cupboard since then. Today I finally got the nerve to finish it. 2 hours a lot of green stuff and what seemed like 2 bottles of superglue later (I think I got a little high from all of the fumes) I was finished. With the help of this awesome tutorial I was able to finish with a lesser degree of difficulty. http://www.40kforums.com/vb/content.php/139-Land-Raider-Crusader-Sponsons-Assembly. Thanks to whoever made it.

I’m thinking I will use a couple Scibor Spartan Big shields, some Ravenwing Bike Wing Banner Bits and a couple laurels to make it fit my Roman/Spartan theme. Well here it is.
Anyone have any other Ideas?

Here it is


This Multi Melta Was a hassle to assemble I had to use a massive blob of greenstuff to get it to stay there. I think I’ll cover it up with the brass etched imperial eagles from the 40k basing kit.


The Hurricane Storm bolters were even harder to do. I had to bend some of the ammo feeds into the right positions because they were way off then cover up some unsightly joins with greenstuff because they did not fit properly.


I might have some painted pics for you guys tommorow.

The usual C & C is Appreciated.
Thanks for looking

I am loving the marines you have done so far, the 2 latest ones are awesome! the landraider is pretty cool as well.
Keep it up!

Great conversions man.
Looking forward to seeing some more.

How about Virenus?

Congrats on your 1000th post! And can I say that those models look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

I wanted to know, those shoulder pads (the deathwatch one's) are metal or plastic?

Great job

I haven't done much today. I've been packing and getting ready for for a holiday to Queensland. Sorry this means no updates for a couple weeks.
I have just started painting my chaplain. I’m quite happy with how the black is turning out, well it isn’t really black just a really dark regal blue.
If anyone asks how I did the black it's a 1:1 Regal Blue Chaos black highlighted by adding a little bit of Fortress Grey to the previous mix.

Here's what I've done so far.



Until next time (around 2 weeks).
Bye,
FP.

That's come out very nicely, I like it. Have a good trip!

Thank you htj. Will do!

Great job! Love the spartan style!

Update Time: Here is what I've done since I have been back.

I have pimped out my Landraider a little and made it fit more with my army theme.
I'll have to buy a Tank brush or a Airbrush to paint it though as the thickest brush I have now is a standard brush.
Here it is.


I have also finished converting a Psyker for the Pimp My Sorcerer 40k P&M Contest (link below). I think I'll use him as a Librarian or something.

*Scrapes dust off thread*

I haven't posted here for a while. I've been really bogged down with schoolwork

Not much ultramarines stuff done latley but I have finished a Pre Hersey Emperor's Children Marine for the Pre-Heresy Legion Conclave located here > http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/120/375179.page

Here he is now


I’m quite happy with the shading on this tabard.


I had to do something with the backpack because too much purple would remind me of this...


*Shudder* I babysit my two year old cousin too much...

Good to have you back

1111th post!

Thanks Lips!

At the moment I don't feel that motivated to work on my Ultramarines so I am doing anything and everything else. Here is a WIP of an Ork doomsday device Objective I made for Major Downer in a SwapShop trade.

I'm just posting here to show that I'm not yet dead guys, even though I do feel like I am talking to myself sometimes.

Here is what I have been working on lately.

My WIP Ultramarine for the DakkaDakka Pre-Heresy Conclave.





And here is what has taken the most of my time lately. Here is a little preview of what possibly could be my next project.

We're here, it's just that we, too, sometimes get caught up in real life

I'm not familiar with an Ork doomsday device. What is that about?

Cheers,
Rawson

Update;

Here is a very WIP pic of my Librarian I made just for fun for the Pimp my Sorcerer competition. Something looked off with him and I thought of changing the colour of the robes from blue to red but I'm not sure what I will do yet. Any Ideas Guys and Girls?

He more strikes me as a Chaos sorcerer than a librarian, but that's what you get when your base model is from a chaos sorcerer. I think it's the armor style, that's what's hard to make look imperial.

Good luck.

Rawson

i think he is a bit thin to be a spacemarine

Thanks for the reply guys! If he doesn't look like a Space Marine would he work as an Imperial guard Psyker?
That's what I think I'll use him as now.

Anyway I finished him finished now, almost (just needs a matt coat). I finished him right on the deadline for the pimp my Sorcerer competition which is today.

Here he is.

FP,

red cape looks alot better, and the face i really well done as well

Thanks bigfish the red cape does look better. I kind of cheated with the face. It's just a Vallejo Game Colour Earth (Graveyard Earth) base coat, glazed with Vallejo Game Colour Earth mixed with a little bit of Black then It's washed with Devlan Mud. After that I just added the details. It's really easy to do and looks good. I might write a tutorial about it.

please do, i can never get human skin to look right on my models

bigfish wrote:please do, i can never get human skin to look right on my models

I will see if I can do this tutorial sometime next weekend when I have more time.

UPDATE

In the meantime here is my counts as Boss Snikrot that I made. Inspired by your combat expert (choppy) bigfish. He's basically an Ork ninja.
Iv'e added and altered a couple things on him but the batteries in my camera have run out so I can't take any pics.







And here are some pics of some of my other Orks if no one has seen them before.

Thanks for looking

your Snikrot is looking very nice although i swear he is a 40mm base character? doe'snt matter but i know quite a few people who would moan at that.
still cool, like the use of the night gogles

Thanks. Snikrot is a 40mm character but I don't think it will make much difference. And if it does make a difference it would be to my disadvantage as assaulting distances are measured from the base. People will be happy when Snikrot is a few mm short of assaulting their shooty units. Then again shooting distances are measured from base to base....

I also made that painting faces tutorial I said I would do.

Here's a WIP preview check it out for the finished result


And in case you guys anyone is wondering my Ultramarines are not dead yet. In fact I am working on a chaplain right now hopefully I will have finished pics by tomorrow.

Please check out the link and leave some comments.

Until next time,
FP.

Update

Here's what I've been up to lately. I haven't done much with my Ultramarines as I was so inspired to work with my orks.

Here's the pics My converted Boss Snikrot.









And here is my converted boss Snikrot modelling a scratch built Trukk tyre I have made. The next thing I am going to scratch build is the rest of that truck so watch this space...

Nice

So far I like what you are doing, especially the Chaplain.

Also, I like your Combi Melta conversoin very much. I was thinking about how to make one that I like and have yet to come up with one - Thanks because I think I will use the conversion you used...simple, and the result is great.

Finally an Update

Thanks, I have finished my chaplain now. And I like the Combi-Melta conversion too I'ts so easy to do. It beats buying ten commander Combi-Meltas which is what I was going to do.

Ok, here is my finally finished Chaplain.
With the best pics I could muster with my phone, here he is. (I'll update with better pics once I find my camera).







Oh, and here is a WIP of a veteran sergeant I just had to show. Before anyone asks he is the limited edition Sicarius model that was was released with the Fall of Medusa thing back in 2006. I thought that I wouldn't be able to use the double lightening claws in my list so I gave him a Bolt Pistol and a Powerfist instead. He is way too cool not to use in my army so I'll use him as a Tactical Sergeant.
