metcalfedan Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Is that the crusade symbol/logo thing on the marines right shoulder pad? I like it. Good mix of the Space Wolf and Iron Hands bits ;) although I'm not too sure on the helmet - wouldn't it be attached to his belt instead of dangling from his arm?

Ompfris Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Well I took onboard the paining advice offered by 'Stark333' the Gray, Red, Bown and Flesh are all mixed thinned and have 3 or 4 layers in differnt shades, The Space wolf side of the armour and the leather parts came out really well. Re Helmet:- I thought I would try doing something differnt... I'm not painting the detail on the shoulder pads until the whole unit is finished... so about 9 more weeks ;) thanks for your comments.

Pig Of Sparta Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I like it, I like it alot :), the colours work really well together, the black and grey contrast is spot on, and the trasition between them is executed perfectly. The edge highlighting is pretty spot on too. A good selection of bits that go together like they were meant to be like that. I can't wait to see more of these guys, are you going to be mixing Iron hands and Space Wolf bits for all of them? What markings are you going with for them btw? I've always found it a little difficult to come up with markings for pre-heresy schemes. My only niggle, and it is a small one, is the mould lines on his legs and backpack but they're easy to miss, I do it all the time... and I can forgive them being there because of the overall quality of the rest of the mini. All in all though, a mini you can be proud of, and when you're done an army to be proud of, keep up the good work. (whinging tone) Nine weeks is ages away, I hope you'll keep us updated with your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 are you going to be mixing Iron hands and Space Wolf bits for all of them? No not all of them are Iron hands / Space wolf - I satred off with the idea of a Death Watch / Vetran squad for my blood angels. (thats why he has red shoulderpad trim and knee pad) here is wha the squad will consist of :- can you tell who everyone is? I've just put my little girl to bed, i'm gonna relax with a beer then start a WIP thread for the other 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vissah Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If Im correct I see you making a raptor aswell. I would make him green mate that colour suits the Raptors better :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Second Finished mini.... might touch-up his chainsword when i do the Symbols. the yellow lines were really wonky but I dont think they are that bad for straight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I've just been over and had a look in your WIP for these guys and like I said over there, whatever you're doing is making these look really good, keep it up because this squad is going to look great whether its sitting on display, or bringing the Emperor's light to a forsaken corner of a gaming table ^_^ I think you shold leave the sword as is for the Ultramarine, it looks alright to me, although you could add a really really think line of ogre flesh wash down each edge of it to ease the transition from yellow to black. It's not neccesary, but it might make a difference. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
