El-Diablo Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 This is a great looking force Fabricator General, the details you've added to each marine really help to make it your own. I particularly like the legs on the plasma cannons, very 2nd ed. ;) The freehand really adds to the finished product, but I think in places the armour is a little too shiny. Awesome job though.

The Fabricator General Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Thanks Midian, I find the glossy finish very annoying especialy as it's supposed to be a satin finish varnish and testors dullcoat is no longer avaliable.

The Fabricator General Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Not really new models this time but far better pics of devestator squad Viator. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Viator1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Viator2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Viator3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Davatus1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/davatus2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Davatus3.jpg Ferrus mannus I use a watered down mix of red gore and brown ink to do the script and just put down wiggly lines.

Pulse Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Spikyjames did something simliar on the legs for his heavy weapon marines and his devastators, i like them a lot, nice colour as well on them. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1730051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fabricator General Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 Thats just where I got the idea from Pulse. Next up is terminator squad Caius, Sgt will have a bacck banner but that is currently pip. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Caius5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Caius4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Caius3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Caius2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Caius1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1730067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Nice! I like the conversions on the Terminators - the assault cannon has a really great sense of malevolence, stalking through the battlefield, looking for the next opponent. The guy with the twin chainfists is cool, too. The one thing I'd say is that the white helmets look a little flat - but the white shoulderpads with the red Chapter symbol are really different - I like them. As we mentioned before, it might well be a battle-honour that the squad won at some time during their history - after all, each suit is a relic. Viator look good, too - I like many of the conversions you do. They're understated but add to the character and individuality of the Marines!

Montuhotep Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I flat out love the 2 Chainfist Termie; 'Oi! You! Yes, you! You're next.' :D There is indeed an air of menace about the assault cannon-wielder that is genuinely worthy of being shamelessly pinched, as is the 'metal style' of the Devastator - excellent.

The Fabricator General Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Next up is the predator 'Excruciator' named in honour of it being a right pain in the arse to paint. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Excruciator2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Excruciator1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1731143 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeerBrun Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think someone should mention what a nice job you did on the Sergeant with the Master-Crafted Bolter. I mean... I could try all my life but never paint a bolter that looked that pretty. And of course everything else looks somewhere between jaw dropping and simply amazing. I personally wouldn't have gone with white shoulder pads, but thats the price you pay with terminators.

Commissar Molotov Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Next up is the predator 'Excruciator' named in honour of it being a right pain in the arse to paint. I hadn't caught this! It's awesome to see some armoured support (especially with Predators being such a steal in the new Codex). The FW extra armour helps it look suitably bulky and intimidating, too! Looking forward to seeing more of these guys (you still haven't put Laertes up!) and hopefully an army shot...? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1732133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fabricator General Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Ask and you shall recieve Molotov, well this once anyway. Dreadnought Laertes, he has a banner which isn't painted but I belive that Tiberius has been asked to design an image depicting his death to be painted on it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Laertes1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/laertes2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/Cormack/Castigators/Laertes3.jpg Laertes is fully extra armoured which I don't think shows in the photo's but I'm quite proud of the way it looks so thought I'd point it out. Thanks for all the kind encouraging words gents, its much appreciated.

The_Chaplain Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 honest to god that dreadnaught scared me a little bit. that pose is just menacing i'm shocked that you've made the stock GW dread look so cool. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1732726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godwyn Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't mean to rain on the parade here, because these look abso-<DELETED BY THE INQUISITION>ing-lutely magnificent, but isn't that the symbol for The Sons of Korhal, from Starcraft? I don't know which company had it first, or if it's even copyrighted, but i'm just trying to look out for everybody. Either way, it's an awesome symbol, and the conversions and painting are exemplary.

Commissar Molotov Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 You'd be forgiven for thinking so! :) But no, the Castigators' symbol (shown here on the left), whilst based on the Sons of Korhal, is slightly different. http://s189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigators/Castikorhal.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1732867 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 The dread is awesome! What bit did you use to make the rocket launcher arm stand off from the main body? I can't place it.

ToyShip Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I have to say that that is by far the best Dreadnought I have seen. Wonderful work. I aspire to one day have a force such as your own. (not Castigators though, theres enough people doing Mol's chapter. ;) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/131223-castigators-strike-force/page/2/#findComment-1733363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
