AlexCrute Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Terminators you say? Well yes indeed there will be terminators, but I had promised myself I'd finish half a battle company before I go off painting all the fun stuff. The assault squad is disassembled and primed. Awaiting motivation to break out my airbrush to slap the peachypuke on them, as I have lost my large brush. I shall have to revisit my WIP thread presently. I never painted an assault marine before. Should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltaine Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Your army is an inspiration. The speed & quality is impressive to say the least. Coltaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'll see what I can do about getting you some extra brushes today, brotherface. Not GW ones, but much cheaper ones which the 40k-playing son of one of Mum's colleagues says works just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 So... Owen is Alex's younger brother? I'm kinda guessing on the whole age thing, since Owen joined 4 years after Alex did... That's cool though =) Anyway, congrats again on an awesome army! Any updates? (hint hint!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngs Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Blood Raven is right Alex, Christmas is no excuse. Think we all want to see a 50% complete battle company before Jan. Cant wait to face these bad boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCrute Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Battle-company status: 45% complete But when did I learn how to suck at photography? Way better photo of most of the above: Sarge has a pose, but lacks a name: 'Look ma, I have a magnet in my neck': Updated army pic: And again: 5 more assault marines to go (20% done) and then on to mysteries and surprises after that.

AlexCrute Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 I just worked out 1495 pts with this lot as you see them here. I suppose someone can have some melta bombs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNex88 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It's good to see you're still pumping out the Imperial Fists models. Haven't you gotten tired of painting yellow yet? I know I have haha. It's taking quite a bit for me to get back to finishing mine. Awesome work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks for the replies folks, it's nice to know I'm still being watched. I'm actually not sick of painting yellow. I think I learned something, that is if I paint to a standard that I can be proud of then the de-motivation never sets in. Real life continues to happen at a rate of knots (y'know how that is) and it's often more than a week between painting sessions but the motivation remains to work on another little project that turns into a good result. And then another then another. I found that what stopped me was mistakes and error correction, so I started to employ a 'slow is fast' mentality, and it's turning out good so far.

aNex88 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Haha, guess it's different for me. When I get to a paint to a standard that I like, I keep on going until I burn out :) Are you planning on doing anything with the banners? I've noticed you've left them blank, same with the shoulder pads. Any thoughts on freehanding the chapter symbol or some freehand work for the Chap'n'Cap's banners?

nordy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I love your painting style which is very similar to mine (but yours definitely the better one). You showed so many use of magnet's, can you post some WIP picts which shows them? I would realy appriciate that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 I must be a grass-is always-greener guy, cos I really like the look of yours Nordy. Magnets are easy, but I spose I can whip up a tut or something. I'll put that on my getting-around-to-it list. (The secret is acquiring 3mm diameter x 1mm thickness disc magnets, and then a 3mm drill bit and pin vice, drilling the hole to house the magnets, but then swizzle it around to make the hole slightly larger than the magnet - because you want the magnet to go all the way in and then sit flush. Protruding magnets = problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 A milestone of sorts, half a battle company and a total of 3 characters completed as of today. The updates: Mr Librarian Man 2nd half of Squad Pratenko Terminators are next I promise. They're all broken down and primed, so check back here in....a month's time or so?

Brother Vespasian Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Awesome job, Alex. Very nice fists, the yellow is as always excellent. Maybe tomorrow I'll try and start to paint a Fist, I've always liked the fluff. One comment- the Assault Marines look very Static, their great anyway but they really have got an 'assault marine' feel Brother Vespasian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aNex88 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 That's a pretty wicked looking Librarian. Also have to agree with Vespasian. Never liked the tactical legs on the assault marines. I always felt that assault marines needed that element of movement in them. Still awesome paint job though. Look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordy Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Gratz for half company :) Nice work like the rest before. I realy need to paint faster (and more of course) to match up with you :D The Libirian is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 You guys are totally right about the static assault squad, *shrug* too late now I guess. My other assault squad will be drop-pod mounted (no jump packs) so they'll have an excuse for looking flat-footed at least. I'm happy with the Librarian, although I could go on finishing the finished bits for another two weeks, you gotta learn when to say no to the paintbrush. I was worried for a while that he might look like a Night Lord, but you'll probably only notice that now that I've said it. I think his brightness and cleanness keeps him out of that territory. And if not, well you are what you eat (he eats Night Lords - geddit? *sigh*) I played two games with this painted army (as well as about 6000pts of other stuff) and won both of them! Huzzah! That's paint-karma for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I was worried for a while that he might look like a Night Lord, but you'll probably only notice that now that I've said it. Mm, well, to be honest, I thought of saying that before, but refrained from doing so... Anyway, nice painting as always. Perhaps is just to do with the location of the shot but, those Assault Marines look very shiny :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
