ProteanSun Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The colors of the fire were swapped... From warmer to colder is blue, yellow, orange and not blue, orange, yellow. I might be wrong but I really doubt it. I work on gas furnaces on a daily basis. Yellow indicates a p resence of dust and dirt to cause a "Dirty Flame", from what I have seen in the real world is seems correct. It goes blue yellow orange on cigarette lighters, but that is only because of the butane. It's all about gas pressure and oxygen:fuel ratio.

Barret Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 On somewhat of a short vacation from the hobby, but here's my February contribution, a Rhino. The hatches and Hunter-Killer all come off, so I can turn it into a Razorback as needed. I'll detail it once I've decided what the aesthetic of the attached squad is. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y36/ElcidBarret/SkullBearers/5thCo/SB-Rhino.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/128469-call-of-the-imperium-mkii/page/3/#findComment-1499575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijiro Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 A little update for my Dark Angels successor chapter (which still has no name, yet ^_^ ... I'm thinking about Sword Brethren, but not quite sure). It's a WIP terminator (since I'm focusing on doublewing). I'm quite happy with the outcome so far. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2360/2277456080_919ba1574e.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2222/2277456200_33b13310c1.jpg?v=0 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/128469-call-of-the-imperium-mkii/page/3/#findComment-1501472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 i'm not familiar with much space marine fluff (I play chaos ^_^ ) but isn't there already some group of marines called the sword brethren?

medusa_ritchie Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sword Brethren are Black Templar vets i think. And from the paint scheme i thought it was going to be another Imperial Fist successor chapter. But i think its nicely painted. What did you use for the black highlights?

And from the paint scheme i thought it was going to be another Imperial Fist successor chapter. But i think its nicely painted. What did you use for the black highlights? Medusa Right, I knew I heard that before ^_^ Well, I like yellow, but I like the modells for the Dark Angels more, so I decided to do a successor chapter of them. The black ist a little bit tricky. I don't use GW paints, but P³ paints from Privateer Press. I started with a black undercoat. After that I used the Turquoise Ink (watered down) to add some depth. Then I used very dilluted Trollbase and swept the brush towards the end, so that the main part of the color would end up there. I think I did this twice for better coverage. After that, I painted a thin line of pure Trollbase at the edge. Well, not quite finished yet: 2 runs of watered down black ink to go the opposite way: from the edges to the center to ease out the transition between the black and the Trollbase. Hope that helps :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/128469-call-of-the-imperium-mkii/page/3/#findComment-1501526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third is actually the first squad that I started this scheme with. I used to be a D. Angel player during 2nd ed. so painting blue is quite a challenge for me. So far it is working out ok :D I haven't sat down and painted this much in at least 7 years. I thank everyone on this board for the motivation to pick my brushes back up again. C & C welcomed and encouraged. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/128469-call-of-the-imperium-mkii/page/3/#findComment-1502834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijiro Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 @The Rubberduck: I really like those termies :P But one question: did you want those helms to look that dirty (or do they only look that way in the fotos, perhaps)?

Merkava Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Unfortunately, my wife camera is the one that takes better close ups. I'm posted out and she is still at home. We'll be back together mid june and I hope to get some better pics then.

flintlocklaser Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I guess I just realized I don't know what the minimum required progress per month is, and my camera has been sent into the manufacturer to repair a faulty CCD (warrantied, thank heavens). But I have my first 18-man crusader squad and my captain/marshall fig assembled and primed up, and another 18-man squad assembled awaiting the next day where the weather is nice enough to prime. If I can borrow my aunt's camera tomorrow I will sneak a picture in just under the wire for February!

The Angelus Sanctus Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Minimum update requirement per month is a single entry :wacko: Obviously everyone can't focus 24/7 to painting etc so we just ask that a progress report be made per month. How this is done is up to you. Whether you choose to do a word-post outlining your monthly progress or a pic-post, it's up to you (depending what you have time for etc). :wink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/128469-call-of-the-imperium-mkii/page/3/#findComment-1507001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
