Icesword Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 First 40k army I've attempted in a couple of years. Here's the start, Lord Bartholemus and a squad : http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2813-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2815-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2818-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2816-1.jpg WIP on a dread: http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2820.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2821.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2852.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146478-mercury-lords-v-imperial-fists/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I like them, quite 'Iron Warrior ish' but ina good way, good name too :> especially like the dreadnought :> Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146478-mercury-lords-v-imperial-fists/#findComment-1699150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaku Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 The Terminator Head on the Dread looks misplaced to me, as if the head comes out of the bellybutton or something.

Icesword Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 Some hate the dread, some like it. I was inspired by the warmachine warjacks, I think it makes it look bestial. In hindsight I should have perhaps made larger armour/cowling around it. I'll see how it looks fully painted. I'm working on another 5 marines and finishing the dread. Some scratch built artillery and dark mechanicus minis are in the works too (we'll they're mechanicus but when i get my casts I'll be adding spikes and chaos stuff to make them dark).

Icesword Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 My mutant sculpts and posts were canned because LATD isn't official anymore, so my chaos army will be a lot smaller here, the latest trench zombie sculpts and casts arent official either hehe. To keep my WIP thread going I'll add their enemies... the fists ! First test mini, ignore the thick paint on the highlights hehe, the rest wont be like this. Can a MOD change my thread to say 'Mercury Lords v Imperial Fists' please. http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2979.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2978.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_2981-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146478-mercury-lords-v-imperial-fists/#findComment-1729673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Those yellow marines remind me of something.... Oh yeah, they look quite a lot like mine, ;) though your recipe looks quite different to the one I use. How are you doing it? BTW you can edit the thread title by editing your first post.

Icesword Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks man. From a white undercoat, Sunburst Yellow coat x 2, gryphon sepia wash followed by highlights in sunburst yellow. Might try some bleached bone to the mix for a final highlight but I wasnt happy with it on the head in the chaos lords hand (which I reworked).

Icesword Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Still very much WIP : http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3073.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3070.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3071.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3072.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3075.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3074.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146478-mercury-lords-v-imperial-fists/#findComment-1736502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icesword Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Not sure about the eyes on the dread, plan to do them again darker : http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3110-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3111.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3112.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3114.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3107-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3109-1.jpg WIP http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3099-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3098-1.jpg http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/mm259/IceFalchion/100_3087-1.jpg These two armies are quite bigger but I'm not a conventional gamer (don't stick religiously to codexe's, I mix and match imperial guard and space marines slots on the force organisations charts, don't even stick to rules I play a d10 variation), Imperial Guardsmen, mutants, renegades etc. are all sculpts and casts of my own. They're over on Warseer if anyone wants a look, only the Power Armour on this board.
