Sons of Horus Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i really like the banner :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 I've just finished the basic white on my 5 tacs. Need some more touching up, some surfaces are too rough and some black lines need fixing. But the majority of the job on them is now done, the blue is really quick and easy compared to that. I've actually done a step-by-step photo manip for further reference, as they're the first PA marines I've painted this way. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/tactical_cs1_pip2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I think at merely Fortress Grey they look awesome... maybe you should keep that in mind for the Terminators, to make them slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Although I'm quite fond of the white, I'll keep it in mind- thanks for the input. They're done, besides legion symbols. Those will have to wait until I can afford some decent decal paper. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/tactical_cs2_finished.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Really great conversions. I love seeing armies that people really put a ton of time into the details. Can't wait to see more. P.S. the banner on the dread looks like its from the skeleton regiment, no the ogre kingdom. Not a big deal since it looks bitchin! Edit: Good tutorial bye the way.

Ithmaril Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for that hint. It was just one of that bits I salvaged out of a mate's bits box. Good to know, and glad you like the goods. :) Here's a little teaser on the big guy. He should be finally done by tomorrow! http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/dread_teaser.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine. Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Hey I'm new to B&C... Rabid Fan. I must say I have always wanted to see Pre-Heresy models and watch them in action. I really like the way you have done the World Eaters. Excellent conversion! 5 POINTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 ONLY 5!!!!!!!!!! More than that I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks, guys! Yeah, dread's an ordeal, painting-wise. I have't painted any models of his size in years, and completely forgot how much time it eats away, so I announced that I'd have him done by thursday under the wrong impression. I can just try to make sure it's worth it. Anyway, here's a PIP pic to compensate for that. Basic colours partially done, but I guess he should be finally finished over the weekend. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/dread1_pip2.jpg Cheers, Ith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine. Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am loving it!!!!!!! And yes 5 points... 5 points = high five. People go rabid over my stuff I paint. I keep telling them their is better ... proof right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 So, that's it. After many a sleepless night and work hours I don't want to count, he's as done as he'll ever be, and I hope you enjoy the result as much as I do. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/dread_thumb.jpg If you are interested in a more detailed view of my personal opinion towards the paintjob, a making-of, and loads of my random thoughts on this project crammed into one article, then my new painting blog might be worth visiting. I'll keep adding articles of the different squads of this army there, which will provide more in-depth looks and takes on my way of approaching the hobby- stuff that would be too much gibberish for WIP threads in forums like this. ;) Also, other kinds of hobby articles, projects and other kinds of content will be added over time.

Megalodon Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 What a fantastic Plog! I love the Dread and the conversions for the older armor marks are nifty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithmaril Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks a lot, people. That's great encouragement coming from very talented guys like you. Although I'd argue that "horrid" comment, yes, the source model is not everybody's pair of shoes. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ithmaril Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 So, yeah, I'm kinda on a productivity spree atm. Gotta make good use of it as long as it lasts. But this one has a serious question in it, as this is my first tank: Have a look and please tell me what you think of the blue/white distribution. Not 100% sure about it, yet. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/Rhinos_pip1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithmaril Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Finally finsihed the Rhino http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/Rhino1_thumb.jpg I'm happy with most of it, and I'm not with a few things. But for my first Marine tank I'm okay with it, considering the trouble the white gave me, and a few other new things I tried out on this. So, thats 1 more Rhino, 10 Marines, and 1 Captain to go.

I thought I made Caeldeth look nice, but looks like trash compared to this. Gonna really have to step it up on Asgeirr :) Just amazing, I love it!

Ithmaril Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Thanks, Rindaris- don't worry, your version has his own greatness, mainly kick-ass weapon conversions and an unusual painting scheme, adding to the base model's awesomeness! So, after reaching kind of a milestone and convincing myself that I've earned it, I decided to take the painted elements of the army and do some shots on a real tabletop. While I still have a lot to learn about making decent pics, it's still a rewarding series of pictures I'd like to share with you. So, I hope you enjoy. - http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/bs_army.jpg Elements of the legion's third company, forming the left flank of the advancing World Eaters force, regroup after successfully overrunning an entrenched enemy position on Xi Draconis during the Great Crusade. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/bs_tac.jpg A tactical squad taking cover and watching out for further enemy forces, forming the left flank of the first battle line. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/bs_secutor.jpg A few minutes earlier: Assault squad "Secutor" disembarks from its transport and overruns an enemy entrenchment, slaughtering the wounded and going after the fleeing former occupants. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/bs_scouts_a.jpg Providing cover for the regrouping effort of the army, a bolter-armed scout squad takes cover in a ruined building, while one of the Neophytes checks for enemy comm traffic with his vox caster. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/bs_dread.jpg Volrath the Destroyer, a venerable and feared Gladiator-Dreadnaught, calmly oversees his tiny battle-brother's efforts while slowly marching to the front of the formation, ready to unleash hell on his captain's command. http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt193/ithmaril/bs_scouts_b.jpg Recieving the honour of being tasked to scout ahead, the second Neophyte unit advances quickly through rough terrain, eager to find out the enemy's next position, and to spill first blood before the main force marches in.
