Hubernator Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 A small update: Completed a HB guy to replace the MM guy in the tac squad. GOing to HBs from now on as my heavy weapon in the tac squads - should be useful :) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10671-1.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10672-1.jpg Also I've decided my command squad has been wargeared wrong and I'll be adjusting them gradually. Already changed one. And I also gave a trial of the biro idea for doing on seals and so on. I like :D http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10669.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10670.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Personally,I don't like the colours, I think they kinda clash and the models look 'busy'. However congrats on your commitment, you seem well on your way to having a fully painted army, which is quite rare [you've got loads more done than me]. A painted army always loks better than grey plastic. Maybe you could try some drybrushing which gives pretty effective highlights and is easy to do? Keep up the good work mate :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work mate :tu: heh thanks for that :) I'm trying to get something done, hopefully now I have to get it upo there I could have a crack at drybrushing next. I've tried it once so far, maybe a retrial at some point. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 I'm stuck at college at the mo but I over the past few days I've remodelled two of the command squad membvers to have power weapons. Will have pics when I get home :) EDIT: Pics inbound http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10676.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10677.jpg Oh and I tweaked the company champion while I was at it, so here's some new pics. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10680.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10681.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Lysander Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nice! Perhaps a bit more highlighting will make it stand out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 The Telion model is done. I decided the normal head really didn't work for some reason. So I replaced it with a beaky :( http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10703.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10704.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10705.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10706.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10708.jpg And as you can tell I had a go at the camo trick. I think I did okay :P http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10707.jpg Second Tactical squad is up next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 The beaky makes him look more imposing. Maybe add a few more power armour bitz to justify the helm? ;). I like the camo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 A little update. I blutacked together the second tac squad... while staring at my first scout models (first post of my Gallery thread for a quick reference). Anyway I decided they looked hideous and took some nail polish remover to them (well my mum did since the stuff worked really fast :P). So I sprayed them again today and gave them a couple of thin coats of grey so far. Scout Sergeant Turion watches onwards (and poses as a colour model :P) as his initiates get done properly. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10720.jpg (and yes Turion has had some details added in, will have updated pics on the Gallery thread sometime tomorrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Haha, lol. Looking forward to the new colours. Keeping the same scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 @Capt Lysander: More or less yeah :) Just painted better :D Anyway here's some progress on them: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10752.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10753.jpg Oh and I've planned my next vanguard marines out and had them sprayed twice to get the coat right. A keen eye can notice the changes ;) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10754.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10755.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10756.jpg The vanguard will be shelfed for abit until I've finished the troops, so that's a scout squad in full and the second tac squad. Onwards and upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Lookin' good! The Vanguard are very interesting models to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey guys. I finished them 5 scouts yesterday and got some photos today http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10773.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10774.jpg (more on on the HoH thread, first post) I've also updated the command squad and captain pics since a few were modified http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10775.jpg (more pics in the HoH thread, post #46) Second tactical squad will be started soon and hopefully finished by the end of the week.

Hubernator Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Right then. The next squad. Some more tactical marines this time so I've got more infantry. The squad in its um glory. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10792.jpg A focus on the 9 troops. The first are (from left to right) a grenader, a HB man and a melta marine. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10793.jpg And here's the seargent and a pic of the arms of all the troops. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10794.jpg Oh and I got bored so I made a combi-melta and combi-flamer, just for kicks :P http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/SDC10795.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/SDC10796.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Nice army that you have got there. Keep up the good work. But i would think it would benefit a lot if you changed all the yellow areas (apart from the chapter badge) to a gold or bronze. Just my opinion however.

Vulkan454 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Fair enough. What have you got coming up after the tactical squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Fair enough. What have you got coming up after the tactical squad? Next up is more scouts so the squad is up to 10+ (including some extra ones if I want a tactical change). Then it'll be 5 more vanguard followed by the bikes finished up. I've also got a razorback that needs completing and converting partially, then I should be up to date :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thats quite a lot. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 Been rather quiet on this lately. Just taking it slow... I guess :) I do bring some news though. First is a tac squad update: http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10831.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10832.jpg And on Thursday I bought myself an Ironclad Dreadnought ;) Couldn't resist breaking him out and beginning work. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10826.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10827.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10828.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10830.jpg So far its a standard body and standard cc arm with a meltagun (since that arm will be the swapped one). I've got a Sentinel box for the conversion; leg conversion in mind plus the missile pod as the HK missiles. Not sure on keeping the assault launchers on; yes or no? Oh and the feet were easy to modify: take the Sentinel feet, clip the "toes" off, then place the remaining bit in the dread feet and glue ^_^ Plating I'm thinking of using the dread HK missile casings on the lower legs. EDIT: forgot to mention. I have some terrain that a family member (not me) has made. Might put that somewhere else if anyone wnats a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Update on the dread and I have a big problem. It seems in my reckless habit of this conversion, I've ruined pretty much any pieces I could use to make the waist/hips/main axel 9whatever you want to call it). Pics first. First up is the dread itself. The missile rack underside has been redone (with some clipped parts and some GS). And I've added a chainarm (not glued) to give him 2 arms. The banner in the second pic isn't glued either; should I keep it or not?? http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10837.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10839.jpg The legs are pretty much done. May need some upper plating. Thoughts?? http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10838.jpg And now back to my problem. This I what I have left from my cutting spree ;) http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg17/Hubernator/Phantoms/SDC10840.jpg Any suggestions on what I can do?
