Hi guys.

Please skip to page 2 for silver skulls. The sand marines show on this page have been disbanded but lots of cool stuff going on with silver skulls

I think it looks great. Love the colors.

I like the mud, mabye some more weathering on the rest of the tank as it looks a bit bottom heavy atm. Also what chapter are they?

Thanks to you both.

I know what you mean about it being bottom heavy Im not sure what to do though and really dont know how to go about damage as its a strange colour metal colour damage would look rubbish.

Chapter wise I call them the corpsers

Well I have had a bit of spare time today and did not fancy painting my veterans for my imperial guard so I painted this vindicator instead. Hope you like it.











CC welcome as always.

The dual bolter dude looks amazing. It also looks nice and 'sharp'

oh ya! i remember you! haha, i didn't have to look back at the old thread the guy who just uses washes for the colors (except the bone color).
looks great so far! really like the tank.

Yeah bolter guy is a bit different.

Ha yeah its not quite all wash I have got sick of how simple it was so added the proper metal and things like that, and for sake of arguemnt the bone colour is a wash aswell

Mud on the front of the vindicator looks really good. I think I worked out how to make it not so quite top heavy. Have slightly more different heights of mud over you different vehicles and on the individual tanks.

The bone colour looks really good. How did you do it?

The bone colour is just a good coat of white spray then washed grypone sepia. I sont want to touch the mud I like it how it is I need a simple way of adding something to the higher bits of the model itself?

Looks fantastic. I really like the mud and I know it's good 'cause it gives me the eewies. I don't like real mud...all dirty and stuff...ick.

The green feels out of place, but otherwise pretty sweet.

Thanks for your kind words folks.

What is it that you dont like about the green? is it the little bits like sculls the larger bits of just the whole green thing?

Also I have finished sorting out another one of the older rhinos.











The base colour is a bit poor with stains and things like that. I did not used to be as good with the wash then as I am now as you can see if you compare side shots with the vindicator I did yesterday but aside from paint stripping the whole model there is not much I can do about it.

Also I did a little group shot.



Keep the coments comming they help me get motivated

I have redone the first few marines and taken some quick pics for you.

Any comments?







Ill get better pics of these guys when the squad is finished

Here is some quick pics of todays work.

Ive started to do my repressor which ive set up to just be a rhino cos I like the model

Right guys I have finished the repressor today . Also I have started to do some more work to my space marine Baneblade and a converted command rhino I have built. So keep an eye out for them soon.

Here is the repressor.

Right guys. Did not feel like painting any imperial guard so did some work to one of my marine dreadnoughts. Also the first time Ive taken pics of my marines with my new camera so the first time you have seen them as they look in real life

Anyway hope you like.















What do you guys think?

Love the mud, you need to buy a servitor model and make a hose like he's washing them. Really like everything on this page.

Thought I would post you some terminator pics today just to keep you interested.

Here is my converted space hulk terminator commander.











Enjoy

Nice use of the Storm Shields and Dark Angel bits on the dread, they fit perfectly! Going to count them as extra armor? You could easily get away with it - too bad they don't give you a 3+ vs. attacks to rear armor!

The tops of the vehicle doors should be dirtied up, since they would touch the ground. The backs of the vehicles should have spatter from the tracks. In general the line of mud is too definite, the dirt should be a gradient with it heaviest at the bottom and lighter as it goes up.

Thanks Gavin. I dint really have any upgrades in mind when I did them just wanted them to look cool. My marine army is my fun army so effectiveness is not really an issue. Lets be honest Vanilla marines just suck in todays game compared to most the variants esp blood angels (fething hate that codex)

Crimson you are right. The mud should be on the tops of hatches and less even BUT. I have tried the hatch dirt and it did not look right at all. I would go as far to say it was total gak.

The mud tone is a similar story. Because The tanks are so light when you try to do complex dirt tones on the vehicle it starts to get lost is the bone colour of the main tank. I decided to settle for a heavy wash of devlan mud as it does add a lot of shades to the model. I have included some newer pictures of the vindicator here that hopefully show this. As my new camera is much better.







Hope you can see where I am coming from. As I do agree to you in theory but in practice I have found that this outcome looked better overall?

Hope every one likes the new pics to.

Got some finished and wip terminators for you today.









That the sgt










Normal termi



The pair.

Now for the wip squad







Hope you like

Good stuff man, i like that paint scheme.

I thought about using some of those legs on all my dreads but it was an expensive affair.

Good stuff, i think the mud on the bottom would look better with a bit of a drybrush added, not that it looks bad.

Thunder fire cannon all ready to go.







Love these. They suck in game but they are just cool.

My master of the forge for you today people.











Really happy with this guy. Although I did hima while back he is one of my best models I think

Here is the gunner for the thunderfire cannon











I have just finished his base to get him all ready for some city fight in a month or 2.

Looking good but might I suggest adding a tad of mud spatter to the sides of the T fire cannon and up the walls of the tanks.... Treads throw mud everywhere in reality.... just a friendly suggestion, looking ace mate!

Ha dint expect anyone to be posting in here as I hant touched my marines in a long time. I know what your saying but I really like to keep things even. Thats why also my tanks dont have any splat. I have a real problem with it a bit of ocd maybe. But you are right.

Liking the bone colour. Maybe you should drill out the barrels of your termi storm bolters.

Other than that, looks good.
