Hai-pe-neki Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 ***Please forgive my english, not my native language*** Hi, i'm going to start a marines army, with all mounted on bikes, attack bikes and maybe land speeders. So after some time thinking for a color scheme, i post here what it's camed out: http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4199/color1fm8.th.jpg http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/8650/color2sy5.th.jpg http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/138/color3ls8.th.jpg http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/5210/color4pw9.th.jpg C&C are welcomed! And i need some ideas about how base them...i have wondered a a dark, lavic surface to make colour contrast, or a wasteland, good for bikes, but maybe a bit too light and not enough contrasting in colors... Now i have just finished to assemble the one that will be the Company Champion on bike, and i think he would be a rather...cool character ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wokkers Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 they are very nicely painted. well done. as far as the bases go i would go for the lava base as you mentioned in your post. the dark areas contrast nicely with the lighter armor on your bikers and the lava will add some interest to the base itself. looking forward to the champ.

hendrik Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 nice, they have this angle feeling on them because of the gold coming underneath the white( you know what i mean;) ) have you tough about a name yet?

DibbZi Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 With the way the bikes are, you could almost say a hybrid between White Scars and Ravenwing. Name option I say going along with hendriks mention of angel. Raging Angels sounds cool.

War Angel Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 nice, they have this angle feeling on them because of the gold coming underneath the white( you know what i mean;) ) did you mean angel? im preaty sure you ment angel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/#findComment-1863609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF151 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 From the pics they look very well painted! Nice job! FF Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/#findComment-1863639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hai-pe-neki Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well the white is quite easy to achieve (i must paint 30+ of them, can't do something too difficult or they will never see the battlefield!). The colours are: -White basecoat -Bubonic Brown -Flesh Wash -Bubonic brown (again, except for recesses, it's for have a flat-color surface for the next color) -Bleached Bone + Skull White (50:50) -Highlights of pure Skull White The metallics are just Dwarf Bronze + Wash of Black (i water down simple chaos black, but i think Badham Black could work too!). I'm still looking for the name, but i'm quite sure that i will give them a dark and maybe "volcanic plains" bases. Soon pictures of the finished Company Champion!

Lavaman Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Real nice painting. The colours used go together so well. that cream'ish white you have achieved looks excellent. Flawless job so far m8, lookin forward to seeing more :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/#findComment-1863944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hai-pe-neki Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yes, thx i have seen them! But i think i will go for something more similar to the second one, or the one showed on the GW site about basing bikes. But maybe with lava just on sergeants and characters, to make it a "touch of light" and not an abuse! Here a couple of WIP of the Champion! http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/9156/sergwip1jh7.th.jpg http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/5667/sergwip2vz1.th.jpg http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/7081/sergwip3lc9.th.jpg http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2963/sergwip4pc4.th.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/#findComment-1865064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eamonnconnor Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 To continue with the angel theme you could do an assault squad all converted to have various wings instead of jump packs...kind of a departure from what you've got going but it could be a cool touch I dunno... They are still fast-attack/mobile like bikes/land speeders.

Hai-pe-neki Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 Here the finished Champion, unlikily not very good photoes, but better than nothing XD Now i'm working at two normal bikers with meltas, then i will go for the first assault bike and the Apothecary! http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/9153/champ1ed4.th.jpg http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/1483/champ2ao7.th.jpg http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9996/champ3ls2.th.jpg http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3913/champ4sc6.th.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/#findComment-1873530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hai-pe-neki Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 OK, here i'm againg with new WIPs, Stendard Bearer and Apothecary! The arm of the SB is magnetized, to allow a better transport when the stendard will be finished. http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/2328/bsbapotwipn.th.jpg http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4669/bsbapotmoto1wip.th.jpg http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/28/bsbapotmoto2wip.th.jpg Here the WIP of the stendard, scrolls needs to be completed! I know that it may not fits exactly the traditional Space Marine's icoography, but if GW can justify that the Deathwing's Stendard is "a naked angel dead under a mountain that is hit by a thunder" i'm quite sure that with my moderate fantasy i can easily justify "a winged girl with a sword"... http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7808/stendardowip.th.jpg As usual, C&C are welcomed!

Perry T Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 this is one nice army. good colour scheme brought through well on the models and that is some lovely freehand on the banner that you have done there. i agree that lava/volcanic plain bases would look good Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158977-a-bike-chapter/#findComment-1892680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hai-pe-neki Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ok, here i'm again with the Apothecary and BSB finished. C&C welcomed as usual! I'm sorry for the pics, not very good this time! http://img142.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=apo1v.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=bsb1k.jpg Now because i want to keep the other two members of the command squad for later, i will wait for a friend that has some normal bike to sell me, to start doing some flat troop bikers, obviusly still with the winged front and "tail".
