Angels_Blade Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Firstly, let me apologise to you all for my rediculous number of topics relating to my Steel Scorpions. I can't seem to stop myself from painting them! After Captain Herminius I had to put together a commond squad so here they are in all their glory. I am by no means pleased with the finished result, especially the book on the standard. However, they do seem to fit well with the rest of the army and on the battlefield they look very nice indeed! As per usual, C&C is very much appreciated (just don't mention the mold lines! lol) Veteran Sgt Aurilious, Saviour of the Fourth - Armed (quite expensively) with a pair of powerfists. http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300048.jpg Veteran Brother Heracles, Bearer of the Company Standard http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300049.jpg Apothecary Cirrius, Protector of the Fourth http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300052.jpg Veteran Brother Marius, Champion of the Fourth http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300050.jpg Veteran Brother Mattius, Eyes of the Fourth http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300053.jpg Some Family Photos ... http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300045.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300047.jpg Cheers AB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143974-steel-scorpion-command-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Marius looks very characterful. I really like these marines even though I'm usually a fan of metallic colour schemes. Well done! BTW have you used the washes to get the dirty look to the armour or have you used thinned down paint instead? I'd like to use that technique for the weapons on my Night Lord Terminators.

Heru Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 what is mattius supposed to be? a reqular squad member cannot have a PW can he? Go to + NEWS - RUMORS - BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS + and then the ++NEW CODEX: SPACE MARINES++ sticky. Then scroll down to the Command Squad entry.

Brother-chaplain Astador Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Impressed, though I still dislike the original models for that command squad. Nicely done though I would say in a few places your highlights/edging is a bit thick.. Good though, first marine is very nice.

Iacton Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Great work AB! I wondered where you were hiding! :D I agree with B-C-Astador about the highlights in places - maybe go back over them with a thinned mix of the wash and the metallic paint to blend the edge of it a bit. Other than that, top stuff, mate! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/143974-steel-scorpion-command-squad/#findComment-1669396 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattastic Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Excellent command squad. Very characterful. I must ask though ... where did the shield belonging to the guy in the front-left in the final image come from? I mean that is sweet.

Angels_Blade Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Sorry guys been away but back now! Thanks again i'm really enjoying painting these guys. The crests are from the plastic dire avengers and the shield is from the masters of the chapter. Heru a complete linebreaker squadron should be finished by early tommorrow evening!
