. Thank you CommissarKhaine, we will see how they hold up. I magnetized some of the arms in case he gets a bit to rambunctious.

Since we stayed home New Years Eve I put some paint on a new model. Going to add some Sisters of Silence as allies for my Ultramarines here is the preliminary scheme.

Ooh, she looks good, nice and bright good you’ve achieved. The cloak looks great too. What colour will her top knot be?

I am thinking about leaving it gray and just darken the recessed area.

Wow, those eyes are looking really sinister- and I mean that in a good way! She looks really threatening.

Looks really well done. Especially Like the cloak.

Fine work, seconding the cloak.

Very nice work Yorkright!

You've made a star of that cloak. She looks awesome.

Looks good Yorkright.

Cheers,

CB

So you guys like the cloak? Thank you all, trying a few new tricks mostly more contrast.
I’ve also started on a Primaris Lt and surprise, its not an Ultramarine. Again trying a few new things if possible I won’t be using any metallics... I maybe asking for your thoughts on doing non metallic metals.
Thanks for looking.

That's a nice green there too.

Thank god it's not an ultramarine made by you, else i might have doubted my distaste for the poster boys

All jokes aside, how happy are you with contrast paints in general? but especially in regards to apothecary white?

Nice start on the Lt!

Good start on the lieutenant, the only thing I can offer for NMM is to just make sure you've got your lighting directions down, the different parts you're doing will look strange if the lighting is off!

I do like the contrast paints for somethings, but I think I used the word contrast in the wrong context. What I mean is that I am trying to bring exaggerate the shadows and brighten up the highlights more. As for apothecary white I have not tried it yet.

Thanks Tyranid Horde, looking at it now it does it seem off to you? I am open to CC.

I don't think it looks off and you're on the right track so far I'd say! Keep working away at it

Updated pic of the Lieutenant, trying to wrap my head around this project. The greens and yellows I am pretty happy with, the metallic bits are so so.
Thanks for stopping by.

Very nice work Yorkright. Green and gold do indeed look very good.

He is looking very nice.

Depth on the yellow is very rich indeed

I like this new Marine. He is shaping up nicely. The green is sweet, and the shoulder pads, particularly the rims, are looking very good.

Thanks guys. Here is some more pics thanks for looking.
CC welcome.

Rad. You can feel the burn coming off the Volkite.

Nice work overall, but especially on the plasma glow.

Had a bit of catching up to do, lovely work on the Sister of Silence. I always habe the urge to do some for Kill Team, may scour ebay for some.

And great work on the Lt., love that color scheme, the yellow accents really make that model.

Thanks YWS, may be the best glow effect I’ve done.

. Welcome back Viterbi the sisters are cool looking models but man they seem so small compared to the new Marines. Just started on the second one, the sword looks a bit off the Grandspawn had a bit of an accident.

Question do you think these conversions will work for CSM Havocks?

Firstly the volkite , looks amazing on the Leutnant.

Secondly, if someone were to object to the havoc conversion, then you know that the game would be anyways not worth the hassle tbh.

The volkite is looking good on the Lt, and the Lt itself is looking good!

I think the choice of Mk3 armour is a good one for havocs, it's got a heavier look to it and I think it works well with the heavy weapons they carry. What bases are they on? I think for gaming they need to be on 40mm bases instead of the usual 32mm. A few more chaosy bits would help them even further imo.

That volkite glow! Lovely!

Very good progress. He's really coming together nicely.
