FF151 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hello everyone, I didn't see a thread for introducing yourselves, so... hello! I bought the Assault on black reach set a few months ago and have been working at completing the set. About 20 years ago (showing my age) I use to put models together (trucks, cars) so I am quite pleased of how these turned out. Once I have the whole space marines done I will base them, I am just experimenting right now of how I will do it. Anyhow, I look forward to chatting with you guys on Warhammer. I haven't really played a full game yet with all the mini's so I am sure I will need some help with the rules. Check out my mini's, comments are always welcomed good or bad ! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3405/3188028145_6d3e42a15d.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3477/3188036071_0f82ed3265.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3305/3188053529_bf93ed7bac.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3367/3188888830_a577a04ff0.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3468/3188076335_1eefbd3a0c.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3081/3188086597_7d5570ed32.jpg FF Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158544-first-time-painting-minis-my-crimson-fists-pic-heavy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargazer Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 What happened to the end of your sergeants finger? It looks like the paint has been scraped off the end. other than that v.nice clean painting and good freehand on the chapter symbols Good effort ;) :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158544-first-time-painting-minis-my-crimson-fists-pic-heavy/#findComment-1856677 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF151 Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 Yea the paint somehow got chipped off. He has been fixed :D Thanks for acknowledging the freehand chapter symbols. I originally had the transfer on the first one, but I just didn't like it and took a huge leap of faith trying to do it myself. FF If any of you guys are interested, I have more photos on my flickr site here... www.flickr.com/photos/ff151 Space Marines - http://www.flickr.com/photos/ff151/sets/72157612903810995/ ++EDIT++ Removed link to Xenos images.

arutha Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 If I had any C and C it would just be to perhaps add some more highlights to the red's. Then again I almost make mine seem almost cartoonish, guess its just a personal preference.

Ompfris Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice work alround.... just one question, how come everyone has 2 red hands.... except for the missile launcher.... well done - really like the terminator Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158544-first-time-painting-minis-my-crimson-fists-pic-heavy/#findComment-1857149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice work alround.... just one question, how come everyone has 2 red hands.... except for the missile launcher.... well done - really like the terminator The Captain, Terminator and Veteran Sergeant are all veterans and therefore have two red fists. Regular troopers such as the Tactical Marine with the missile launchers only have the left fist painted red. Really nice work btw, not many can claim they were this good at painting when they started.

Lt.doobie Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Great painting. Although, something that struck me as a little odd, the writing on all the seals is red. Is that normal for crimson fists?

FF151 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I thought I saw some pictures of the writing red for the crimson fists somewhere, so I went with it. In real life it almost looks like they were written in blood :) Here is the Sargeant Terminator I just completed,....... and yes he will be based. (I am still experimenting with the style of base for these guys) One problem with clear and crisp photos is they are SOOOOOO UNFORGIVING! http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3106/3225583171_893fd7b3ca.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3304/3225586745_03e85d6941.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3434/3226445820_c033cdfdd7.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3485/3225593611_b45f91f540.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3080/3226452752_5b2e5b8255.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158544-first-time-painting-minis-my-crimson-fists-pic-heavy/#findComment-1857650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 They look really good. Keep this up and you'll have an army that will look great together on the battle field. Now paint those tacs up, I really want to see the tacs together. :) //Boo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158544-first-time-painting-minis-my-crimson-fists-pic-heavy/#findComment-1857657 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DibbZi Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm sorry but with the quality of these, I don't believe it is your first time painting them... very nicely done.

FF151 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks Dibbzi, But I do promise you it is my first ones! Ya gotta understand though that I did do model cars and trucks years ago though, and when I purchased the Assault on black reach kit I started with the Orks so by the time I gotten around to paint the space marines I "got my groove back". My first orks were good, but I think I have improved substantially as I have progressed throught the AOBR kit.

GeoKrush Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Very good work... The only complaint I have, and it is small... is the purity seals. If you are going for a written in blood look I suggest you darken it. Dried blood has a lot more of a dark reddish brown tint to it. I just think the red is too bright as it is now. You could also do a bit of inking on them to give them a bit more of a weathered parchment look. Other than that I think that you have the an army you could quite proudly field.

FF151 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Well the whole AOBR kit is DONE!!!!! WOOOHOOO! I am basing the space marines now, I hope you guys like them when they are done. It will probably take a few days to fully complete the bases and with my work schedule I will get the pics up as soon as I can. Thankyou everyone for your kind comments and tips.
