I think he looks great Alf! Can't wait!

Got the marine from graven today! Very nice and can`t wait to base him and get him in the pack

Huzzah! Not bad for posted Monday, eh?

No cause that is solid!

I got this fine fellow from 1-i:

Sharp lookin marine!

Why is it when I look at your pic of the marine I painted Im now picking out all the little flaws?

^ I blame the photographer! Trust me he looks great, I really need to get a group shot of the DW posse so far.

Got the minis from Crimson and 1-i this week and with that I`ve got all three minis from my first GMS round

Very pleased with it and would love to do some more swaps if someone is up for it!

PS: pic as soon as I`ve based them

Hey Gits,

Got your Space Wolf just about done, I need to give him the once over, make sure everything is good, and then hit it with the matte varnish

That's really cool Alf! I think that's the best work I've seen you do. I'm honored

I put a lot of time into it, far more than pretty much anything else I've done with exception of the Mountain King, who only had so much time put in due to his size.

I will say this, it was a royal pain to not fall into my old ways and just slather some paint and wash on and call it a day.

The only complaint I have, and Idk if I should fix it or not, is that I tried some armor chipping on his right hand just under the boltgun. Originally it ended up as a slip in the brush when painting, and I brought up your chipping tutorial and decided to try it out. I like the effect, but without more on the armor it seems out of place, so I will probably fix it up before hitting it with the matte.

And it means a lot to hear those words Gits instead of my usual, "It needs a wash"

I'm not that cruel ... am I??

Oh no, not from you

Usually when I post things on Dakka or elsewhere on the internets, one of the first few comments is, "It needs a wash".

I'm going to take a look at it tonight and decide if I want to try chipping or not.

Do you have a picture of GMS marines you've received?

Not a recent one. Should I do one?

Up to you, I was going to look at them and see what the average armor looked like. If they were all in good armor condition, I would touch up the hand on my Space Wolf, and if they looked like they had been damaged, I would try some chipping and battle damage on him .

So even an older pic would work... I'm gonna dive through your gallery lol


edit: They seem to be pretty clean and tidy. I'm still gonna think it over, might throw some up on the knees, boots, arms... we'll see

Go with your gut. It'll be just fine.

My gut says stop before I ruin it lol, but my brain says, don't be a wuss!

GMS marines are great for experimenting and stretching your skills! Go for it!

Gah, I forgot about this thread! When I have a spare marine lying around I may just join in.

It'd be good to have you aboard!

I only managed to snap 2 images that came out decent, but one of them is too bright. So here is one of the shots of the battle damage I tried out.


Sorry for this slightly washed out picture, but it shows some of the damage better than the other pic imo at least on the

The entirety of the model (with the exception of the wolf tail talismans was done using GW's colors. Base color, wash, 2 layer paints (except the reds, I only have 1 layer paint). The armor was finished with Fenrisian Grey, and then I took my Asurmen blue which has separated, and I just dip my brush into the white part to get a very light blue wash. And then to smooth everything out, I painted on a thin layer of gloss varnish. I will hit this with a matte before I send it off.


Edit: The lack of a shoulder pad on his right shoulder is due to the fact that I don't have a Deathwatch shoulderpad, and that's one of the requirements for the mini, so I left it off since Gits has some

Nice. I love the red and gold, it really offsets the grey. Shoot me a pm if you fancy a trade of some sort!

Idk if I have enough unassembled Marine bits. I've got plenty of Dark Vengeance Chaos, but I gave most of my bits away in the DCM Secret Santa trade.... I wouldn't mind a trade, just don't think I've got the parts.


Note: Painting this bad boy has given me thoughts of starting a Space Wolves army, because I love how this guy looks.

You did a great job with it. Looks great!

Thanks

I'll hit it with the Varnish tonight and take an official picture, think up of a name and bit of a backstory for ya

Thanks Alf. I'll get your Libby ready to go as well.

Hey guys, thanks to Chemical Cutthroat, we have started a similar thread to this just for Infinity. If you're interested here is a link: 0-12 Operative Program

I know everyone is like years into this but how do I get in on the program?

I play a codex army of Soul Drinkers here is some of my early work



And some of my latest work most of it is still WIP








If anyone is up for a trade let me know! I can also scratch build a mini!

Lovely work, I'm always up for a trade - shameless tart that I am. You've gone about it the right way, expressing interest and showing your goods. I play gk, SM (mentor legion), BA (weeping angels - homebrew), trying to swap for some deathwatch just now (a not uncommon gms) - lmk what you fancy making or getting! Folk sometimes make basing requests - eg unbased, plain, specific theme, base style, or free reign. Hope that helps, lmk - and welcome aboard!
