What I really like, I think, is that you always manage to break the monotony of the grey with nice colours (green, orange, blue, red), that fit well with one another.

Nice!

Canonness looks good too...

Thanks! , these guys are far from dead. For now I have about 10 SW (still on spews but are probably gonna be 9 GH with 1 WG), 6 WG terminators, 5 scouts, and 10 skyclaws, 1 rhino, 1 drop pod and 1 razor back that I need to paint to finish off what I have for them. Though that doesn't mean that they will continue to grow and hopefully one day have a full company of them rounding to around 100 marines. That would of course include vehicle crew counts, dreadnaughts, ect. The only thing that would not be included in the count would be wolves.

Here's some updates though for the wolves and a few other models.

The other three wolves, 2 go to my lone wolf, and 2 to my wolf lord. I have 6 others i can attach to other units/characters if possible, otherwise I hope to get more to have a 15 strong wolf pack.


Just some more Marines that I have finished so far. L -> R. x2 WG combi-melta / TH / melta-bombs, x2 MotW (mark of the Wolven, represented by a streak of red hair or a red mark on their helment), x2 Melta-gunners.


Standard Barrer #2


The Cannoness is also finished.

Also if any of you wanted to see it this is my workplace for my models. Just ignore the stuff on the walls.



On the very top is all of the finished Fox Marine models. around and behind them are some Tau, lord of the rings models and some tyranids. And a rhino I need to repaint.

A minor update

Just some pics of some wips. 1 Sephrem and a living saint that I pick up from my FLGS that were the last SoB in the store. then some long fangs and some Skyclaws.

I don't know how I missed this thread before. Excellent painting, i especially like the Cannoness.

Update -
Finished the other 3 long fangs that I had, at least finished painting them. The bases aren't that big of a deal when compared to getting the model painted.

2 plasma cannons and 1 ML


Group Shot - (right to left) Long fangs sarg., Heavy bolter, Missile launcher, WG w/ cyclone missile launcher, 2 plasma cannons and the final missile launcher.

These guys (and gals) are looking great.

Thanks! I may be slow to update, but I'll get em all done eventually.

I also forgot to add the Living Saint wip that I have.

Well I was playing around with some bits that I had and I was able to find a much cheaper solution for my assault cannons for my razorback, rather than pay an upwards of $20 for the land raider crusader turret off of ebay.

I had some Tau battlesuit burst cannons sitting around in my bits bags and I was able to convert the lascannons to something that could be considered as laser powered assault cannons. Though the main part is that I have something that looks like a twin linked assault cannon for my razorback.




The only thing that's left is to figure out how to close the gap between the tau burst cannons and the lascannon body. Also the entire top half of the razor back is lose so I can take the top off including the storm bolter, the turret cover and guns come apart as well, and the back cover that has the hole for the turret also come off to swap between rhino doors if I so chose. For now at least.

Mate although some would cry foul, I think that looks sick, so run with it! Your army is looking choice dude - some really cool conversions and a tight colour scheme (there's nothing wrong with grey and orange!).

The only question I have though, is does anyone know where I can buy some activated carbon?

Indeed, Thanks! I think I might paint the razorback next because I've been wanting to see the paint scheme on a vehicle, and to get something of a standard template for any other vehicle that I paint in the future.

A little bit of process and the finished item and a couple of shots with the squad.





Last shot of the inside panel before it gets sealed inside of the vehicle.

I just read through the three pages. That's some cool marines you've got there. But how are the augmentations compatible with female humans? Geneseed mutation?

Fluff wise for the female space marines I'm going off of the missing primarchs theory that one of them was female that that's where the chapter is getting the gene seed from for the female space marine.

Finlay finished this, its been sitting on my work bench for a while now and I'm glad to finally see it finished and painted up. The only thing I don't like is when I tried to do the yellow it didn't turn out that well.





I also put another layer of delvan mud wash on the razorback weapons to make the pop a bit more.

That ASSback is an awesome conversion! I hop you don't mind if i steal the idea, as i have some burst cannons laying around as well.


Great work painting these guys, they look magnificent.

Almost finished with some WG terminators and one Arjac rockfist.

Nice color scheme on your models. It is a simple drybrush, yet highly effective. I also like the orange trim on the shoulder pads. I hardly see any army's painted with orange or orange accents, it really gives your marines a unique look.

I always love seeing folks painting skills improve as they post. Just as yours has done, nice job mate

Finished up the terminators, the only one not 100% is arjac. I just need to finish up the cloak/cape with some green stuff and paint.

Group shot

Well after some debate on what primer to ues I decided on a 2 part prime first with black then with a highlight of white.



First atempt at the camo, I didn't like it so I started over, and the swiss guard is coming along nicely as well. Though I'm still debating weather or not to do a Delvan mud wash on my second camo atempt

And now they are finished
Ariadna - Para-Commando


PanOceania - Swiss Guard


Turn Around

Did a little touch up on the Para-Commando after some feedback on the Infinity Forums




Also I got the first part of many deliveries from ebay for the start of my warmachine army, Retrebution of Scyra. The only thing that sucks is that I messed up on the white highlight primer and its all fuzzy.

Just a Minor update on the warmachine side

I got part of my ebay stuff in the mail.

Left a Griffon, center a Mage Hunter assasin, and on the right is a Chimera. For those warjacks you almost need an instruction manual to put them together. They come in almost 10 pieces it seams like, 2 Legs, 2 Lower arms, 2 upper arms, 2 shoulder pads, head, upper torso, lower torso, and any thing else that needs to go on the mini.

Got some more stuff in the mail earlier today. The Ariadna starter set for Infinity and Retribution tokens for Warmachine. sorry for the blurry photo.

After some asembly and priming...

the 4 on the Left were all one piece and very easy to assemble. The guy with the 2 shotguns came in 5 pieces, head, backpack, 2 arms and body. The guy on the far right, I'm thinking of leaving his arms off so I can paint the chest area easier because his arms cross the chest area.


Warjacks and a Mage hunter assasin

Here's some Pics of my finished warcaster, I've had it finished for a little bit now I just hadn't taken pics of it.



Was able to get my infinity minis primed today.

The ret caster looks good, I like the slightly modified colors on her.

Here's some more Infinity and Warmachine, and it seams I'll be checking my mail tuesday for a heavy warjack and a SM tack squad box due to it being 4th of July weekend.

Cammo scheme for my line kazaks. Also the brush near his base is my go to brush for painting small details, it's a customized 0.99 cent testors brush. I have 3 other like it cut in a similar fashion of which I have used on the entirety of every model in this blog.


My Ariadna force so far.


Chimera warjack for my Retribution force, still wip

Here's an update on my Ariadna Infinity force.



And here's my mighty brush set that I use to paint my mini's

Well I got the tach marine squad that I ordered through ebay so now I have 10 SW and 10 SM where I can mix and match the parts so it will be some what cohesive with the rest of my current army.

For Now here's an update on the Infinity Front.

Finished 3 Line Kazaks and 1 Chasseur (bluish urban cammo)



Now Individual shots.





Last one is a touch blurry but it should be ok.

Finished the Vet. Kazak, now the last one left is the Gray Rifle.



Vet Kazak Turn around.

Finished my Starter Ariadna force!



Here's close ups of the Gray Rifle and I added some delvan mud wash to the crevasse to the Vet. Kazak.





I also got some new brushes and a fishing tackle box to hold my tokens and dice.
