Good evening Dakka, I finished defacing some primaris to make a squad of noise marines.
Let me know what you think, and thanks for stopping by :






Spoilered individual shots :

Nice work! I love the fluorescent paint scheme. Those look like some pretty extensive conversions, care to break down what you did?

Whats your paint recipe on the pin k and the gold?

These look ace!

@Red Corsair : Thank you very much !
-The pink is applied on a white base, then a first layer of Prince august G14 "pourpre violacé" of their games range (I guess it is similar to the Vallejo Warlord purple G14), followed by some white highlight (or drybrysh depending on the detail), and then a second thinner layer of "pourpre violacé" (Pretty surprised I was unable to find the english name for that one)
-The gold starts on a brown basecoat, followed by a layer (or two) of vallejo brass, and a final layer of agrax earthshade

@Luciferian : Cheers, much appreciated ! Pre paint shots are spoilered below.
-I started by shaving any loyalist icons on the primaris legs and torso, filing the parts that would be left bland, and covered the roughest parts with mutated speakers (e.g. the champion's right knee) or faces.
-Then I had to connect the arms and greenstuff some of the joints so that they would fit. The blastmaster gave me some headaches on that matter, so I had to resort to an upper handle, out of an heavy bolter I think.
-Also custom built two backpacks out of primaris ones, so that all members of the squad have a special one.
-The plastic sonic blasters were cut from their original arms, moving him to the left arm for the champ, and slightly rotating the other one to fit his holder's pose. (Also mercilessely widened the left hand (an original bolter holding one) of that second marine so that it would accomodate the gun)
-Finally, headswaps, one from the betrayal at calth box for the blastmaster guy, a Wargame Exclusive not tzeentch helmet for the champ, and ROTTEN_FACTORY helms for the other three.

Not all the greenstuff is handsculpted, I also lazily molded and pasted some elements, such as daemonette heads, then reworks them before the GS dries.

It think that covers the build, but let me know if I overlooked some details.

Thank you! Much appreciated, I am always interested in others recipes for there emperors children. Currently mine are a bit dark and I need to add more pink accents to pump the volume up

Thanks for the breakdown. Again, great job, and I really like your green stuff work.

Thanks again to both of you, it is always a pleasure give details about models and exchange techniques.

They look very twisted, well done! The addition of the inscriptions on the armour gives them an extra level of mystery, one can only imagine what blasphemies they contain. Thanks for sharing your method.

Thank you very much Subedai.
