Cpl_Saint Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The Aepesians (well, half of 'em, anyway), a tactical squad from the fifteenth Chapter of the Ultramarine Legion. I'm aiming for a pre-Heresy feel based on the Horus Heresy artbooks. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m150/Cpl_Saint/Ultramarines/IMG_0576.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 They´re looking splendid, Cpl_Saint. You have succeeded quite well with capturing the feel from the art books. Well done indeed. -Trajan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaplain Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 can we get a shot of the non helmeted marine in the back? curious about what head was used as the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blackbone Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 THOSE look like Space Marines. Great job capturing the feel of the artwork. - Blackbone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmaw Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 those helmets look so cool sort of like iron man Grim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I am in love with those helmets. I must say that I also really like your battle damage. I've never really been a fan of armour damage and scuffs, but your's is top notch. Not too much that it distracts from the model, works brilliantly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr tough guy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 They Look great man, can we get a better shot of their left hand shoulderpads? they look like they're straight out of Rogue Trader, would love a closer look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach0624 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Those marines are awesome. I love the darker blue you use for your ultras, what's your recipe? Also what did you use for the shoulder pads (they look like they have a wider rim) and helmets look sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpl_Saint Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hey all! Cheers for the feedback, and apologies for being late in responding. <_< Regarding the helms: 1) Take a regular ol' mark VII head (any will do) 2) Carefully trim away the air hoses, right back to the ear pieces. 3) Scrape away all the detail from the marine's faceplate, leaving a flat surface. 4) Fill the space with greenstuff, and flatten it, so that it forms a smooth surface. 5) Cut a triangle out of either side, at the bottom, up to midway up the earpiece. 6) Use the greenstuff from both triangles to fill the space from the mohawk ridge thingie on top down to the new faceplate. 7) Carefully rub the greenstuff towards the centre of the face, to make an angled front. 8) Poke two rectangular holes for eyes. Done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother Hastatus Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 They are amazing! Truescale, pre-heresy Ultramarines. The best type of Space Marines! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
