Small update, did some basing:



Now it's prime time!

That's a really cool pose. If you could break the weapons a bit closer together , think it would look even better, the arms seem a bit widely spaced currently.

Tim, that does look cool now.

A W.I.P. of mine, super inventive with an obscure chapter!
Just a few small things left to finish (like some script on the parchment) but I haven't had the time to finish it because of uni.



Cheers

Nothing wrong with painting Ultras. Particularly well done ones like yours!

Yep very well done indeed, a man after my own heart with the clean paintjob.

Can I enter this soldier of the Imperium of Man? Im just not going to have a Space Marine model to do this month, and to be honest I think I'd respect this guy a lot more than any Space Marine.

If it's too far askew from the theme then I'll just wait and do an entry for next month.













Proof:

@Iechine Sadly, I think that's a bit too wide of the mark, fits the 'space' part but not really the 'marine' bit. .Looks great, but if you don't mind I'm going to say no.

@Snotcatcher: Looks awesome, really good stuff!

^ No worries, hopefully next month. I just hate those filthy astartes.

Tim 121RVC, cool position for your first marine

Tittlemanscrest I really like the heat marks on the end of the tanks cannon. The whole piece is very well done.

A WIP on mine so far, meant to post this after last weekends session, With the bank holiday I should hopefully be able to get some more paining done.

So far I've dremeled out the torso and arms + tops of legs so you can see there is a grot actually in there, because I knew I'd be chopping the legs up I picked some already primed legs from my bits box, however when I went to paint them I released a lot of the detail has been lost due to the previous owners over enthusiastic application of paint. Oh Well. I've still to putting some cabling in round the back and battle damage.

That's looking cool!

This GrotMarine is just fantastic! Really love it!!!

fanfethingtastic. love it!!!!

I'm not going to get as many done as I wanted. It has been a bad month for painting. I should get one finished, though it is not goin as well as I'd like...

That horae looks aaaaaswesime!!!!

Well, I don't think I'll finish, but it's a long weekend and all, and other than time with muh wife, I can work on this beast. Let's see how it goes...

A Plasma Obliterator!!! That's a Space Marine weapon, right? Just a really big one!

Go for it!

Beautiful work all, these are really tough competitions.

Did a little more and took some photos, so here is my final entry.....

Don't worry about it - that's exactly how I feel too. But the challenge is a fun motivational tool. I think it's generally just good to be part of too. Y'know, it's the the taking part and all that BS

Finished, and with time to spare too! Most unusual.

Sergeant Baradiel



As a devastator sergeant he's meant to have a signum, but I loathe the official bit; it's so cumbersome looking. So I've given him what is essentially a combi-markerlight, a servo skull (which, if you look closely has 3 different laser targetters of it's own along with the lens), head with targetter and a scope with the lens painted in a different colour to my ordinary ones in order to try and convey all the optics and targetting technology. He's in a 'scanning battlefield' pose, hence the skull and him facing in different directions.

Was going to give him one of the many heads with a bionic eye in my possession, but most of those have the bionics on the right and that would clash with the scope which, I think, makes the gun look much cooler. Those with bionics on the left wouldn't really allow for the head roatation needed to make the pose work. Black metal of the combat blade makes sense in the fluff I'm writing for him, basically he's a weapon tinkerer and is experimenting with different alloys to get a sharper harder edge that might make a blade rival a chainsword as a weapon choice (sometimes there's no petrol resupplyin a protracted conflict and chainswords just become metallic baseball bats). ~

His name is that of the angel of hail, which seemed failry apposite as he'll be leading a squad of four heavy bolters when I'm done.

Nice work there sock. relly clean smooth paintjob

Wow, Sock, that's a great looking marine!

Cheers, gents.

Damn just saw this excellent thread. Here is what I have been working on but too late! Nooo....

You've got 5 full days including a public holiday, you'll make it

That said, I am worried you actually will make it because those are going to be too good for the rest of us to get a look in

No time, lots family stuff and work on
Labour of love.
Here is another shot.

Give it a go dude! All you need is obe model!

Where are those shields from?

Pretty sure they are the invictus suezarin squad shields.
