Spacefrisian Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Been working on some spacemarines (taking my painting skills to a new level) and this is what i've done so far. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Spacefrisian/Spacemarines/IMG_2413.jpg Hq: (not sure wether to make him a Captain or a Master) http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Spacefrisian/Spacemarines/IMG_2416.jpg 1st Tactical unit http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Spacefrisian/Spacemarines/IMG_2415.jpg 2nd Tactical Unit http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/Spacefrisian/Spacemarines/IMG_2414.jpg Vanguard As said before, i´am not sure about a name. I was thinking about Crusading Angels. And the Bases need work to so they are WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 those are really good, i do like the colour scheme, tho perhaps added shading to the teal as it nears the edges would make it look even sweeter, bar that its all cool, as an aside if you were to paint the plasma gun ribbed bits a nice bright green it would break up the colours on the plasma models nicely as oppossed to the current white and blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEanBOb Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Very good color scheme, but there are a few things that could be done better. The colors on the sergeant's banner needs a few more watered down layers. I also think the models would look better if the golds were brighter. Highlighting is never a bad thing either. Any ideas on fluff? That would really help in naming them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{}{ Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If you'r looking for a chapter name , you could just use the random chapter generator {}{ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacefrisian Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 @{}{: I could do that but those name never suit me. @MEanBOb: With what kind of color would i need to highlight the gold. I always thought it looked already good as it was. As for fluff i was thinking something along the lines a crusading chapter who often help out other Chapters (explains their Black Templar/ Spacewolves icons) @gil galad: maybe i should add some of the proposed things to the Plasmaguns, i'll think about it.

Sons of Horus Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 1st company? where are the awesome termies? nice minis anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnwulf Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Well, to make good looking gold I always started with tin bitz as an undercoat, then went over it with Shining Gold and hit the high parts with Burnished gold. For really shiny gold, I added a little bit of chainmail or mithril silver on the tiniest bit of the highest parts. You could also hit it with a thin brown wash (chestnut or Brown ink always worked well, I don't have much experience with the new GW washes, though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 They looks very well space, cant wait to see more :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Beork Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Nice looking mini's, I like the blue/black contrast a lot. Although the blue might need some more highlighting. I also see even more dutchmen here today, I've been seeing dutch everywhere today. Not a fan of the backhanded knife, it looks odd to me.

Spacefrisian Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 1st company? where are the awesome termies? nice minis anyway. Termies will get in it but for now just check the helmets.

Daeothar Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah we're out to take over the world. Can't argue with that... ^_^ As for the paintscheme; really nice! The blue and black work really well together and I commend you on your colour choice! :tu: IMHO, the blue could do with highlighting rather than shading, making it slightly brighter still, to add to the contrast. The red on their shoulderpads works equally well as a tertiary colour. Is that their chapter symbol? Keep it up; really nice work so far...

Spacefrisian Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Its part of their Chapter symbol, the Serg in the Tactical squad has a the complete symbol. The Cross with the wing on it. I haven't painted it on the shoulderpads at the moment but i intent to paint it on those who don't have something on their left pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
