ShinyRhino Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 While neglecting my Razorback refurb project, I completed my very first Assault Marine. Huzzah!

Srta fiddle yo work with on the paint rig, since I only had one foot to pin him by, and the old pewter jump pack weighs a TON and kept falling off my backpack holder. His squadmates are on the way, someday! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154292-my-first-assault-marine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akozz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Awesome painting dude. Your jump pack is custom or i have other version in my assault guys ? if its custome then its very nice done. great chapter and squad freehand painting, its not easy to make it. I would only add some shadow grey or codex gray highlight on belts on chest, to break the dark. And make highlights a bit lighter cause i like when it pop. Keep painting, can't wait to se more :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154292-my-first-assault-marine/#findComment-1799488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalyp$e Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Nice, I like your execution of highlights... The oldschool jumpack is nice too. Show us more as they come.

Master Toddius Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Good job, bro. Thats a very good 1st assault marine. The freehand symbols look good, and I agree the 2nd ed jump pack is a nice touch. The blue looks nice and deep. I think the only thing that needs just a little more attention is the jump pack straps across the chest. Its a little too quiet for me. But other than that its an outstanding 1st Assault marine. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154292-my-first-assault-marine/#findComment-1799640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thanks all. I agree on the pack harness. Very flat. I think I need to line it out with a 50/50 grey/black mix. I tried a striaght grey highlight, but it was a bit tTOO stark. @Akozz. Not a custom pack. It's an older-edition pewter jump pack, that pre-dates the plastic kits.

ozris Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Very nice work indeed, not much to improve except that I'd consider giving the metallics 1 or 2 more washes of brown/black ink. Would certainly improve the effect and make them "pop" more :tu: Other than that, really good work mate :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154292-my-first-assault-marine/#findComment-1800209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
