<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Wonderful Space Marine Shenanigans"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Wonderful Space Marine Shenanigans I've been lurking on this forum for a while now, and inspired by some of the amazing examples set by certain project logs on here, I have finally decided to work on a space marine force i had built in the dying days of 5th edition. Here are my humble wares:

A Vanguard Veteran (Sorry about the bad lighting)



Again - this picture is a better representation of the colour of the armour



And from above:



Here is the heraldry of the chapter on a shield:



And an almost complete chap with a shield:



Sorry for the blurry picture, couldn't set up a lightbox, and smartphones don't make great cameras

Not much to cnc, your painting is pretty great! Only thing though - are the eyes on the second guy the same colour as his Mohawk? It seems rather weird that they're both green, it becomes sort of distracting


Well, the colour scheme is based on red with green accents, so green eyes and helmet plumes - I do agree that from the picture, it does look a bit odd.
As ever, C&C is very welcome

Regarding your green: I use the same colors for example on leather and armour. But then I make sure to dull the leather down, or that the armour stands out. You can see it on my Bad Moon boyz (link in sig).

Nice work, keep going.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498942/5152062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498942/5152062.page GMT Re:Wonderful Space Marine Shenanigans

That's a good point, I haven't thought of a badass enough name for them yet, but probably something along the lines of Crimson Templars due to the repeated cross motifs etc.
Thanks for the encouragement

I did actually manage to finally finish Sorscha:


So I didn't do a whole lot over the course of 7 months
Hopefully I'll be updating this a lot more regularly from now on.
