Tyrannicide Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 These look really nice Defiler. I believe these Fallen Marines are the best I've seen out of the bunch and they're shaping up to becoming one fantastic unit. The Astartes with the MK4 helmet is my favorite, his pose is so awesome. Will you be creating an entire army, or just this squad? It would surely be a cool sight.

Solid Zaku Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 One word...highlights. I think that's what your Angels are missing. Perhaps some Snot Green, running up to a thin veneer of Scorpion Green.

Kaldoth Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 One word...highlights. I think that's what your Angels are missing. Perhaps some Snot Green, running up to a thin veneer of Scorpion Green. Remember, these are Fallen marines. Pre Heresy scheme for DAs was black armor, not green :P Anyway, I really like the muted black you have going on! The highlights aren't too drastic, but they're enough to catch the eye ;) Excellent work! If you'd like, I find that putting in dark red detailing (if you can find somewhere to fit it. Gun casing, chainsword hilts, etc) really bring out the color black without making the model overly bright. If anything, it makes them look even more menacing. Just a consideration for you. I look forward to more! :P Cheers, -Kal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141653-fallen-angels-painting-in-progress/page/2/#findComment-1645070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Defiler Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Thanks for all your comments guys !! It's really motivating me to keep on painting ! (and you don't know anything about my laziness !!) As I'm back at work ;) , I have less time to spend on this little plastic buddies... But I've manage to: - undercoat the last five minis, - finish the marine shown at the bottom of the first page (his DA icon is less clean than it used to be ! :D ), - and start highlighting 3 more marines (basic broad highlights that will be touched up later) ... I cannot do anything else at the moment.. I've noticed that my favourite brush is not as 'accurate' as some days ago, so I need t obuy new ones.. @ Darth Potato: the Mk4 Marines is my favourite too... :D. Oh, and there's going to be only one squad of them.. An entiere army would be much too expensive and totally unfluffy ! @ Kaldoth: I've already been thinking about using some red here and there.. and it will be done ! ;) Thanks again ! ;) the def' :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141653-fallen-angels-painting-in-progress/page/2/#findComment-1646851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 No idea what it is, but the beakie with the bolter is incredibly cool. I love effective simplicity, there's just something about the combination of bits and pose there that give him a real substance and atmosphere. Nice.

Tyrannicide Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 @ Darth Potato: the Mk4 Marines is my favourite too... :nuke: . Oh, and there's going to be only one squad of them.. An entiere army would be much too expensive and totally unfluffy ! That's true if you decided to do so, you'd either have to incorporate other Marine elements or the army would have to be small in size. Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing some more painted models. :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141653-fallen-angels-painting-in-progress/page/2/#findComment-1647232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Defiler Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yes of course, they are just one squad of a new CSM army... The mandatory troop choices will be these Fallens, and a 5 guys of a Black Legion squad (on which I worked a little 3 weeks ago, to be sure I still know how to paint things.. 'painted nothing since april 2007... ;) ). I also have a winged (possessed) lord waiting to be given some love for almost a year (he can be seen HERE). This will lead me to the first 500pts to play with a friend who gets back in 40k... Then I hope we'll expand together our armies to 750, 1.000, etc... I've planned to add later: 5 marines to the BL squad, some raptors, a rhino at least, and two 'count as' obliterators (noise marines, or sorcerers... both in terminator armours... , don't know yet). It's not to play tournaments at all, just friendly games, so I don't really care about real effectiveness.. Painted nothing tonight, the weather has gone mad, nights are too hot to sleep, I'm tired... So no update, sorry... :P the def' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141653-fallen-angels-painting-in-progress/page/2/#findComment-1647435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Great robes! Look like black leather, nice :D Are u going to honour these lads with the presence of Cypher himself?

The Defiler Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Well, no, I'm not, sorry.. There are no rules for him at the moment, and plasma pistols are way too expensive to be used in a squad (any Fallen with a plasma pistol, a bolt pistol, and a sword in his back could actually be Cypher, couldn't he ?) I've not painted anything more yet, I feel so ashamed ! ;) (I'll try tonight !) On the other hand, I've been working (a bit) on my concept of sonic weapons for Slaaneshi Terminators 'counting as' Obliterators.. Couldn't Cyclone Missile Launchers look like some kind of huge crazy Doom Sirens, to give you a hint ?! *blink blink * ;) :) The Def :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/141653-fallen-angels-painting-in-progress/page/2/#findComment-1653529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
