spikyjames Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hi all Well i've been working in these guys for just over a week. First up Telion http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Ultramarines/103_3166.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Ultramarines/103_3165.jpg And the squad to go with him http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Ultramarines/103_3167.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/spikyjames/Ultramarines/103_3153.jpg all the scouts have GS knee pads and silencers added to their bolters to hopefully tie them in with Telion a bit. Let me know what you think. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 "Damn" they are fine ;) the kneepads really tie them all together,well done! the snow....needs to look more...hard to describe...maybe wet like? it looks like pillow stuffing at the moment(sorry to say :) ).a while back someone on wargamerau had some fantasy orcs with a superb snow base design,i asked him how he did it and he replied with this - "With the snow it is the Games Workshop Modelling Snow however there is a trick. You have to mix the powder with both water and wood glue. If you do the water only it is too watery and crystallized. You will have to practice a bit to get the mix right but I have not found it too hard. You need to get a good consistency so that you can place it on the bases and shape it how you want." * i know "me" telling "you" about the snow is the equivalent of "telling your grandma how to suck eggs" but those models are very sweet and are deserving of a sweet base. my apologies if the C&C is unwanted. Cheers Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Loken Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Excellent, that's a fantastic blue you've got. That's the sort of colour I think of when I think of the Ultramarines. Thanks for the close up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulsmith Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 One of my favorite 40K units. Painted beauitfully. I love them and how did you do the snow. I think it looks very realistic, like the crisp kind stuck to grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m14xx1 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 please, please, the professional term is "suppressor". their is no such thing as a "silencer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 You really do that telion model justice. The suppresors on the scout bolters are a great idea. I am also impressed with telion's cape. superb stuff. *edit I spelt them suppersors.. ha* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soric Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Telion looks great as does the rest of his scouts. I am curious though how did you make the suppressors and knee pads for the scouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scar Weaver Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Those simply rock! I concur, what is your secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchb0x Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Great work!!! But a few questions... ...what is your final layer of color? Id like to bite your style on that due to it not being a super strong or overly bright blue highlight...is it just space wolves grey? or something close to that? I cant really tell to well with the pics. But awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 These look fantastic :D The knee pads... I want. Nice blue aswell! BTW is Telions head a separate piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
