son of nocturne Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just a quick update on the painting and the company champion. Painting is very WIP but the yellow basecoat is finished i will wash it with khaki (revell colour MATT 82, not sure what it is in GW paint) then highlight it with light yellow mixed with white 60/40 then gloss it over to make it shiny! Its quite simple but i think it looks good! The standard bearer's helmet is white with the red top to denote his age, young veterans have the full red helmet, then over 100's get a white helmet with the red top and a bus pass... As you can see with the champ, this is the pose that he will have! he's quite a bit shorter than the other 2 but i think its because of his pose! C&C's always welcome! S.O.N.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Very nice. Love the buss pass! :D I'll be curious to see how that scheme comes out :) And I'm sorry but i have to say that the champs pose is very odd(over dramatic) I look forward to more!

Loketh Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I've always loved "truescale" projects. Very ambitious, but always good looking in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just a painting update today, been a couple of days, have been realy busy with my coursework but got bits and pieces done! Thought of a bit of fluff for him, not much tho! meet, Franz Tialus, chapter ancient, bearer of the standard of the fifth, 230 years old, Legio recruit has done 3, 10 year stints with the B&C, the first when he was 46. He earned his terminator honours when he was 89 by saving the 5th's captain at the time and 2 of the honour guard from a hermegaunt. He then transferred to the first at 120 years old and spent 20 years in terminator armour, he was then sequestered to the B&C again, upon his return he requested his return to the 5th, upon where he was given the honour of carying the banner of the 5th, and has been in this position ever since! anyhoo, here he is, standard still to come, not to long on it tho! As you can see on this pic his markings denoting his service to the legio. Carrying this means he can be called up at any time of need for the legio. should have a bit of progress on the champ in the next few days! S.O.N.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think the yellow is too pale. Brighten it up, make it nice and shiny, then add a lot of battle damage IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother Hastatus Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Nice! I'm unsure about the painting, but I think it may just be the picture. And I love the greenstuffing. As Loketh said, I love truescale projects. I really like the fist on the chest, and the many other little extra touches you have given the model to really bring him to life. Â Well done! And I'm looking forward to seeing the banner and company champion. Also, I don't suppose you could post the Apothecary here so those of us that haven't seen it elsewhere can see it?

son of nocturne Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Has been a while with updates, have been cerazy with exams and studying so have had my head in books! Needed a break from studying so i went back to the IF's! And i noticed something... I realised that there may be some slight height issues with my champion... All the dimensions seem the same so i have no idea why he's so short, so am gonna change his legs and straighten him out. any suggestions from you guys as to what to do would be great! SO! i got slightly bored with him and moved on to the sargeant, only done the torso so far, and have started his bionic arms, thanks to freakforge for the base of the bionic arms. Gonna give him a Bolt pistol and a chainsword as well for CQB. Gonna be one more guy after this then the comand squad is done! Finaly! Anyhoo! here is the start of the sarg! Well C&C's always appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkle Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 They look great!! Â Is the champion just short because he's not on rocks? He looks big enough to me in the pics, but maybe he's too far in the foreground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 champ looks fine to me, and the sarge is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Alrite everyone, just a quick update, all hands on deck for exams at the moment, so not done much on the IF's, but it turns out you guys were right about the champ, he just needed a boost! well, have gotten this far with the command squad, 1 model left... Any suggestions for how i should arm/model him would be great as im not sure what to do with him, so far all i have is a torso... Well, here's what i have so far! Like i said, any suggestions as to what i should do with the last one! S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Well ive finished my university stuff for this year so i got bored... and found myself staring at my pile of sprues... boredome is a cruel mistress, she made me hack up a plasma cannon and start on my next squad... even though i havent strictly finnished the command squad yet... well here's where ive gotten to! need to buy some guittar strings for ancilaries from the back of the gun but thats a long way off yet! not much to say at this point realy but i think its easy to get the general gist of him! updates soon!

LoneWolven Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Love true scale marines and yours are no exception. It just makes the bolters seem the right size. Bravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Just a small update for today, subtle little things that i like to do early on in a conversion because i tend to forget about them! Extra armour on the shoulder pads, more detail to the piping and bionic arms and (though they can barely be seen) 4 rivets on the chest. am going to go with the old school reinforcement on the lege, but i have to position them first. May be done at some point today, not to sure... Ooh and also, i couldn't help myself, i said previously that i had some exta heads lined up for this squad... hehehe... C&C's mre than welcome! S.O.N.

son of nocturne Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 Another update! Not many pictures, but what is there conveys what ive done! Legs to bulk up, feet to position, reinforcement, purity seals, then i think im done! have 3 more guys on the desk in the process of cutting and making bigger, but more on those as i get them done! C&C's always welcome! Oh and thanks to Synapse for his WIP heavy weapons pic, was a big help! S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Well! after moving house with my beautifull girlfriend and inbetween jobhunting, and occasionally posting on our beloved forum, ive been quite busy with my fists, have finished the command squad, and begun a tactical squad and a librarian, not painted yet as i need to rethink my yellow due to previous posts, also have heavily converted a dread who isnt done but is coming along nicely! Well, here are the images! This is the wip libby, but i dont know how to position the arms to suit the pose, wanted to have the right arm with his power brewing in his hand and having a plasma pistol in the left hand, doesnt seem right though, thoughts? This gent is the final member of the comand squad who i am quite pleased with as the pose is quite dynamic! this is the heavy weapons gent from the new squad who im quite pleased with, as i put allot of conversion time into him and i think he has turned out well! This guy will be a squad member, still WIP. This is going to be a veteran sargeant based on Madscuzzy's BEAUTIFULL veteran sketch for his army which can be seen here: Link to madscuzzy's artwork thank you madscuzzy! And this is my WIP pride and joy! Well thats all for now, any C&C's will be very welcome as im stuck with the librarian! S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 The veteran sarge is great, as is the librarian. I've got some ideas on the pose if you're interested, I'll sketch them up in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaHat Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 These are extremely cool! Very well done. Can you post a size comparison pic to a guardsman or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
