Tyrannicide Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 While the color scheme and details together come across as busy, I think the overall effect looks great. I say don't change a thing, keep it! :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153017-the-sons-of-medusa/page/7/#findComment-2015541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMcL63 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I really like your work Grey_Death, and am very pleased to see another army of 'screaming' green marines. One technical comment: I notice you prime in white. This was what I did when I first started working with Scorpion Green. I eventually came to the conclusion that a dark primer, eg. DA green, is actually better. This may seem counter-intuitive for such a light colour, but I've found that the result is a much deeper hue with little or no loss of brightness. It makes shading easier, naturally enough. I can only suggest you try a test mini and see what you think. Good luck with your lads. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153017-the-sons-of-medusa/page/7/#findComment-2015550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKhalilX Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 grey, the raider looks incredible, and the sternguard marines in the camo are brilliantly done. The beakie sternguard is my favorite in the entire set (his pose screams hes sgt, not the powerfist one). The stripe on his beak makes me think navy seal ;) great job. So what is next on the Sons of Medusa to do list? and question to you and anyone: do you think the sons are truly Iron Hands geneseed? think it will ever be revealed if they are and when founded?

Grey_Death Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Darth Potato, I guess I'll have to wait it out and see what the full squad ends up looking like. If I still feel they are too busy, I might tone down all of the skulls to the gold/bronze I've gone with on a few of the eagles and the hand. JMcL63, I ended up giving everything a heavy wash to the recesses with a nice dark Thraka Green Wash. I think it added the depth of color I was looking to start from while keeping me nice and high in the color range. I used the primer as more a tooth for the rest of it all to hold to, don't need it chipping off at green spray stage ^_-. XKhalilX, I tried to stick with beaks and studded shoulders for the sgt types. I didn't take the fist in the squad (for now) as they're mostly shooty with a good bit of range. As for what's left, there is at least this: 3x Desert Support Marines 8x Tactical Marines 2x Razorbacks 1x Master of the Forge Past that I do have more stuff I would like to finish for the army, including a termie squad and another Dread. But time constraints might keep that from fruition for the Campaign. But they will eventually be added to the mix. Hopefully time starts to open up the next few months so I can really get busy with the painting.

JMcL63 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 BTW, just so you know Grey_Death: that comment of mine about the primer wasn't meant to suggest even the slightest criticism of your work. It was just a comment about an alternative technique. I'm sure you knew, but I just thought I'd leave no misunderstanding possible; us Scorpion Green marines have got to stick together after all! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153017-the-sons-of-medusa/page/7/#findComment-2015666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
worrywort Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Woaw ! What a beautiful Land Raider ! Love it ! The Battle damage are very impressive. The desert support squad is very beautiful too.

shaw3029 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wow! The landraider looks fantastic!! I love the bright green Marines If I did another Marine army I think it would definetly be these. How did you do the mud on the trakks of the landraider? I may have to give the battle damage technique a go it looks great. Thanks.

Grey_Death Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Back on the Sons of Medusa Wagon finally. I think the breaks with other models really helped to motivate me though! I have finished two greenies (minus chapter badge)! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/16/42876_sm-Meltagun,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Tactical%20Squad,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG And I've started doing real work on the Techmarine (who I'm using as a MotF) finally. I'm happy with it so far, still a long long way to go: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/16/42875_sm-Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Techmarine,%20Warhammer%2040,000,%20Work%20In%20Progress.JPG Hope to finish this one soon!

blood_raven_240 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 That's an awesome looking Techmarine! The deep red should really contrast with the rest of your army!

Master Toddius Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm really loving how this army is turning out. The techmarine is coming along beautifully.

Khrangar Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 The techmarine is looking great. I was worried in the first pic of it that it'd end up too orange but the 2nd pic is a lot better.

Grey_Death Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Finally finished the MotF! I ended up getting stuck with life things to do for a few days, but had some time yesterday at work to get him finished up! Here are some pics (sorry for the quality, the wifey has the good camera x.x). Click for the gallery page: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/23/44078_mb-Master%20Of%20The%20Forge,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Techmarine,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPGhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/23/44081_mb-Master%20Of%20The%20Forge,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Techmarine,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/23/44079_mb-Master%20Of%20The%20Forge,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Techmarine,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPGhttp://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/23/44080_mb-Master%20Of%20The%20Forge,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Techmarine,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG As an added bonus, I finished up a Green tactical marine last night as well! He was already greened out, and just needed highlighting and detail work done: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/7/23/44083_mb-Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG Going to work on some more green marines to try and finish out my tactical squads (5 Models left!) before I move on to finishing my Desert Support Squad (only 2 models left for them!) After that it's on to the Termies and then it's vehicles. Can't wait to see more of my army hitting the field of battle painted :devil:.

Shenaniganz Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Grey Death i am really loving you work, the green is fantastic. The only thing i find better is the weathering you have done on them, could you by any chance post a tutorial on this?

Grey_Death Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Shen, I've posted a battle damage quick tutorial to my site a while back, check it out here. TEC, I don't quite have a tutorial down just yet for the Desert Marines, I can tell you that I did use a lot of Vallejo as the base colors. If I get the method down for a tutorial, I'll definitely post it here ^_-. Lord Rag, thanks :P. K, Thanks! +++++++++ I know it's been a while x.x, but I finally had time to finish off my Razorback. It took a while longer than expected, but that was completely thanks to school and work. Now that I'm done with both for a while, I'll have a bit of time to put into the marines! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/8/16/48227_sm-Razorback,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.jpg I hope to continue working on the boys this week with a bit more dedication in prep for BolsCon.
