Terminatorinhell Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 yay capt nuss is back and better than ever! i love the plague marines and their heads, are they from a different mini range?

capt.nuss Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 The style is directly out of the card artwork, but thats for all of them more or less. I can increase the footsize on the Worldeater easily, if thats really a point. @ elijahdprophet & Terminatorinhell The heads of the DG are from Pig Iron. You can google the company... i think their headwork is really useful !

elijahdprophet Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Very cool capt. I am using some of their heads for my scout bikers, and have used the ones you did on some IG. Very versatile.

Maratheus Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looking fantastic there man. :D I bet guys over at The Great Crusade would love these. Shameless advertising aside, I think these look excellent. May I suggest spikes on top of the DG helmets to further emphasize the style of the legion. You have some really nice weathering effects there, would be interesting to see how you did them. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148627-the-legions/page/2/#findComment-1804174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt.nuss Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hi, today i got a Testmini for imp. Fists. The pics are a mess, but at least the upper pic has useable colours. It's too late now to post answers now, so i'll edit this post soon, but now its 2 am and i have to work tomorrow.... http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0032.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0029.jpg Guess i'll make better pics tomorrow.

DuskRaider Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I'm really loving these... I too like to do more realistic paintjobs. I'm loving them and keep it up!!!

Aqatone Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Nice work you have there. I'm really not a fan of the legs however as mentioned previously, they are far too skinny for the bulk of the model.

Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I just can't get over how those lower legs look :( it looks good otherwise though.

capt.nuss Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 And another one as prototype for a squad: The armor is basically middle grey really, no colour tone added. I'll keep then all without helmets, adds character, i think. The weapons are not finished yet as you see, the blending needs improvement, gore and runes are still missing. However - thats it for today. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0033.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0034.jpg And one in the evening sun after battle: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0033.jpg Gimme a short feedback about pros and cons, but please leave out any leg issues if possible. :lol: Consider the exaggerated outer form to be exactly that: an image, an exaggeration, an idol, a symbol. Hope that makes sense, english is not my mother tongue. :D And now on my desk: The special waepons guys for the DG 90% The Sarge for the DG 70% (altogether will make my first finshed ready-to-play squad, safe the bases & the legion signs on the shoulder) 2 more Eaters 50% 1 more prototype marine for the next legion 60% Oh, and i`m also open for legion-wishes. What do you wanna see as a squad? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148627-the-legions/page/2/#findComment-1818378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Great use of those heads. I use those for my Cadian veterans and my Lamenters scouts :) I especially like the paintjob on mr scratchy up there.. did you sculpt his head?

capt.nuss Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 This time you get the first pics that actually look like the minis. I dunno why, but this time something worked that usually does not - no idea. For full squad pics and something from the children, i need new batteries for the cam first :D Here you see 2 changed and 2 new ones, so that i now have 11 DG marines, 2 Flamers and a melter included. In game terms, one will stay at home, of course. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/dg2.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/dg1.jpg And here the sarge. He´ll get a name fitting with the fluff, as soon as i know one. I think with this mini you see the more realistic style im searching for at the moment. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/dgsarge.jpg A second squad is modeled already - 10 minis of 1000sons with sorcerer ph. Modelwise my best squad so far i would say. pics are to come sometime around this week. @ De Angele Thanks for the Pics, Thats exactly what they will get. AND EDIT: the squad: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0047.jpg and an emp child: http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0050.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/148627-the-legions/page/2/#findComment-1829347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Explorator Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Your style is quite different and I like it--I think it works well with pre-Heresy marines to make them look somewhat antiquated. Your Death Guard sergeant is particularly cool, and I think the worn look of the Imperial Fist is great (though not sure so much about the head).

Brother Richard Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 They look good.. hard hitting, no nonsense, rough and tough marines. As for another legion.. I would like to see a few Crimson Fists. Keep it going!

Shadow Nugz Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Pros: You paint that dull scheme excellantly Your custom weapons are godly You had the same idea as me to make some guys from each of the legions Cons: The Space Wolf looks like he had his armor's waist cut up by an inexperienced techmarine The thighs!!! Or: The waists!!! Too small! :P The WE Raptors mouth looks too round, maybe make the sides straight? You stole the idea to make some guys from each of the legions from me... are you psychic?

capt.nuss Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Oh, comments finally, niiiice :) . @ Magos Explorator I'm not satisfied with the Fists' head either. Guess it will be changed before i go for a complete squad. The helmet is just out of a picture in an artwork. But i somewhat like, when marines look 'different' from the standard, i must admit. @ Brother Richard CF are not different enough to me compared to the others... just a red hand. And i guess they where no legion at all anyway. Havent the crimson fists been founded later on out of the imp fists? ..not sure. @ Shadow Nugz I won't change any thighs on the DG any more, perhaps i'll make thicker ones for the future marines to come....

Brother Richard Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 No worries.. Its an old rogue trader joke/fluff conspiracy now...Crimson Fist were the on the cover of one of the original rule books. The funny part is that the recent (Sep 08?) White Dwarf - Space Marines Codex mentions them as one of the 'original founding chapters' along with Imperial Fists, White Scars, Ultramarines, and Salamanders see page 30.

capt.nuss Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Was a bit too lazy to paint o the 1000 sons squad all the time, so i made a gs- break, and built the first HQ choice: Alpharius. I tried to use the legions symbol and the hydra theme. Overall, he's slightly larger than my marines. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0056.jpg http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j92/wieims/PICT0057.jpg Guess i'll use him as Abbadon in game terms.

CompanyOfTheFallen Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Awesome! Far better than the other Marines and with proper proportions :wub: . I hope you take him to the 2.
