@crimson: i'm really liking the look of that model! Can't wait to see him painted up.

Thanks Patman. Going to try and spray him today, maybe get the basecoat sorted if I'm not busy, but yeh thanks.



@1-i: Any ideas as to what you would like to trade? Not sure what I can do so I'm all ears.

Beginnings of a daemon world base for 1-i:


And rebuilt/modified possessed:

Exciting stuff

@Crimson, I could really use a Death Company marine. Ultimatly that means that any type of marine with any weapon setup would work.

Hmm yeh I can do that. I just about remembered this is a minie I paint in my own colours for another, thought I'd have to do an actual Blood Angel then epic fail but sure yeh I can do a Death Company. I have the BA Codex so I can look up some of the weapon options, I do have an idea already however. I'll get fishing in between painting Red Skullz' Wulfen.

Here`s an early WiP stage of the marines I`m swapping with them four named in the pic:

Greenstuffing will ensue so worry not if it does not look like much at the mo`!

R

Lookie... I'm pretty!! *prances* Well, when compared to the rest of you anyway.

Got past the block on Ice's Apoth. I went and did the left side body in checkers as suggested, thou you cant see much with the back pack. still a few checkers to clean up and a touch up here and there ( spot light, backback and powersword ) .



The Back pack is magnitized and still need to do the matching jump pack. Hope you approve.

Holy s*** SL... that's awesome!

Thanks, but the lines are still not clean enough.. so revealing what a close up shot of a tiny figure can reveal.

Wooo, looking snazzy Red. Got your dude sprayed and such Red but sorry not much progress, school is catching up to me and I've got crissy tests next week so bear with me, I'll get started today however just need to mooch in my paint box for said appropriate paints.


@1-i: Got the parts of your marine ready if you're all up for a trade? Might have trouble assembling him because my glue is a little off at the moment but it should all be good.

My bane... that's why I keep having multiple "final shots". I'm done... then, well no... someone sees something that HAS to be fixed.... then I'm done a second time... but no, still problems. Etc., etc., ad infinitum.

On a side note, it's really nice to see this thread fired up again with some new blood. Always so much fun to see people stretching their abilities for their fellow dakkanaughts.

The checked apoth is bloody brilliant mate! And, @gits, seconded!

Thanks ,

I'll get a few things fixed and then some additional pics that arn't so bloody close!

Well as I had said Red, I nailed down and done a bit of painting today. There's not much done but for me it's actually a lot because I am a rather slow painter, my brother can churn one out in a day whereas it takes me probably 3 He is very far from being finished however, but anyways hope you enjoy him!

@Crimson it looks like I have to hit up ebay for a few basic parts to actually make some models. I got all the fancy stuff but no back pieces, "How does that happen?"

@The other three, I should have pics of things soon, like in the morning when I finally take the picture.

@Gits: haha!

@Solar: wooooo that is awesome

@:crimson: looking very solid mate

@1-i: no worries mate.

R

Wow, that Apothecary is awesome! The checkers look even cooler then I imagined.

I also concur with Gits, welcome new peeps! I may have to throw in some more Ice Angels once I finish my Tiger Claws. This thread really pushed my mediocre painting skills and I will have extra bits in the near future.

Glad you approve.. will have some other angle shots showing the color split later.
Adjusted size pic from the front.

Still working on the Jumppack and an a unique base.

Sure no problem. I'm having trouble with my glue at the moment anyway (as I may have mentioned it's gone all.... awkward). He's only half built at the moment but I'll get working on him some time either this evening or tomorrow.

Red Skullz wrote:@:crimson: looking very solid mate

Thank you He really is far from done, obviously. But what I mean is I'm going to attempt to paint some more detailing on him and vary the colours here and there.

So, a little update here. Gits marine has been shipped out to him, so he should have that soon. 1-i; Your Chaos will be ready to ship out hopefully... by tomorrow or friday. Would have been earlier, but we received close to two feet of snow where i live, so as you can imagine, that has caused some delays. Pics of the Chaos tonight, or tomorrow morning!

Woo-hoo!

Thanks Patman! Looking forward to it!

Update again.

Sorry Red didn't get much done, some much needed revision had to be done yesterday sorry. Got some work today. Put a basecoat on the guns, a basecoat on the base, finished most of the backpack (lighting was horrible so I apologise if I happen to have missed some), put a coat on the shoulder pad inset, basecoated the Thousand Son arm (armour 'borrowed' from a Thousand Son of course, how else would it be Wulfen enough? ). There is a problem however. The back item seems to have snapped off when I was painting and I didn't notice so I can't find it so yes that is my predicament, unfortunately Red he won't have that back spike with the skull and due to that the wiring on the backpack is off because I had to clip it down to allow the back piece to fit on properly. Hope that's ok? Despite that setback I believe it is better because it makes him more Dark Abyss-al (my D.I.Y. Chapter). I also seek all of your help if you would permit it. I am stuck as to what colour to choose for armour joints and other such stuff, I thought of bone but that might be too similar to the base and hence may clash. Thoughts? Opinions?

Anyways, here he is so far:


@1-i: I hope to start your model soon. I want to keep doing Red Skullz Wulfen until about the weekend and come the weekend I'll finish assembling your Death Company. spray him up and begin applying the basecoats

Oh god, just noticed I missed a few of the skulls just behind his one foot

He's coming along! Question, though... Is the armor going to be purple for sure? I like that color.. but that blue arm is clashing. Idk if you're intending on painting the arm to match the armor, or not. Just my two cents. Maybe try adding little details to the gun, to make them stand out more. They look a little flat. Good work so far, though!

He is indeed coming along. Yes, the Chapter's colours are those different purples with that very brighter purple/almost pink colour. The blue arm does clash yeh but the purpose of it was to make him seem more like a Wulfen seeing as the story behind them says they recycled the armour of those they killed to repair their arm. My reasoning for the blue was to represent it as Thousand Sun armour, as the Space Wolves and Thousand Sons were bitter enemies. This is all completely null however seeing as this marine is of my own Chapter, but I have a reason for that behind his own fluff so that's done-and-dusted. What would you suggest doing then Patman? The guns are also far from done. The silver will be washed, black for the bolt pistol and purple for the storm bolter. The brass on the face on the bolt pistol will also be coated with gold, I use brass as I find it makes gold cover better. Thank you for the critique however.

No worries on that part mate, that stuff happens all the time

I like how it all is coming along. If I where to improve something it would be some washes basically. Gotta love washes

Certainly! I couldn't agree more. I have all my washes lined up and ready to go. I leave that part until last because all the purple will be receiving the same purple wash. But yes, you do have to love those washes, they are a godsend

Ah.. Gotchya. The arm makes much more sense now! Also, I'm sure you're planning on doing this, but maybe paint the 'studs' on his armor. Maybe leadbelcher? Just to make it pop!

I am thinking of that yes. All of the ridges/trimming will be painted in the more violet purple as so it is more prominent but yeh I'll be painting all of the studs in Leadbelcher like the guns and the chest lightning bolt insignias. It sure does make it pop though, done it on another MkIII model a while ago.

Haha, true dat Regarding washes that is

Personally I`m a bit behind but I`m going on christmas vacation on friday. Got three weeks off so it will be done!
