onlyme Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi there, It's been probably the best part of a year since I last did any modelling or painting. As the british summer yet again failed to materialise I thought I might do some kit bashing and GS and possible even some painting. So here goes, a new chapter.... (literally) The Unnamed Test mini Im looking to do a pale high contrast scheme. The core of the army will be predominently scout based. Some Scouts A Couple a Marine Vet Sargs Some marines And in true rolf style - can you guess wjhat it is yet? As of last night.... The Captain With some more progress today..... There's now so much gs on the captain I'm leaving him to set for the next couple of hours before adding his missing thumb :tu: Naming suggestions and feedback is very welcome.

xedric Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Very nice stuff! Love the captain. You cant go wrong with a huge sword ;) Though I think the grip of the sword is a bit thick. Or its the skull thats too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordus Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Ok...I tell from the photos these PROBABLY look incredible in RL. On screen, not so. The flash seems to have dimmed the colors, and the texture looks almost..grainy, like sand. Still, I love the color scheme, and the Captain and Vet Sargs look like awesome incarnate. Finish dat thumb an' paint dem critturs! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBlessed Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hey, looks good. Are those iron armour torsos from forge world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyme Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Captains complete just needs a paint job now.... Updated pics of a sample scout And that multi melta The vets torsos are from the black templar squad upgrade sprue and I agree the top of the sword is a little small - I'll rummage through my bits and see if there's an alternative....

DarKHaZZ13 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I liek it, I think however the green dosn't suit the grey/off white maybe its just me  oh and your GS FU is immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Martemis Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 i disagree DarKHaZZ13, i think the off white/green combo works really well  makes me think of the front cover of Galaxy in Flames.  but the gold, i dunno. but then i'm biased cos i'm jealous, those models are awesome  if only i had the skills/patience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu1f Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Looks very nice mate. Â Any Fluff on the chapter history? Â Also for the pale colour, was it a mix of bleach bone and skull white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcolt Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Impressive, the neck guard conversion is the best i've ever seen mate ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tiger Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I do like the green casings, especially on the Multi melta guy, looks much better than something stupid like bright red *shivers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 If you haven't already, give the Captain a Terminator base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 For the torso of your captain did you just modify a terminator torso or did you use something completely different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick O))) Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 What thickness of plasticard did you use for the neck guard on the sergeant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyme Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Thanks for the feedback, I've got to stop painting for a couple of weeks - my hobby room is being knocked down ;) I may try some conversions if I can find some space amoungst the dust and chaos. Â Its 0.5mm plasticard for the neck guard, patience and alot of swearing when patience runs out. Â The Captains torso is a modified terminator with plasticard spacers and a chaos warrior cloak. Â Why the termi base? Â I also like the green casing - it seems more military... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skull_Lord Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Why the termi base? Because it looks cool, makes a model look more commander-ish imho, and also as your captain is so big, his base looks too small  btw your minis are very nice, i like the green along with the white, and your conversions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyme Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 Been a while.... Lots of life getting in the way of painting and converting still started again after a bit of time off: Some vangaurd conversions And some marines for the sarg to lead.... All very work in progress, I'll post more pictures as I finish these off..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopToffee Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 reading this thread makes me feel vaguely ill at the level of unattainable (at least for me) talent that some people have :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyme Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Other than some tidying up a couple of the squad are done..... Lost my PVA glue somewhere in the house :) so can't finish the bases tonight, they will have to wait for a trip to the DIY store Some of the shading / weathering isn't coming out in the photos perhaps I need to make it a little more extreme or work out how to take decent photos :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
