ongoing Marines Malevolent project log

Recommended Posts

i didnt post anything in a while mainly because of the fact that most of my painting stuff is on the 90%done WIP stage and i want to wait with the "proper presentation" until everything is completely done..

 

well i am working my way towards a half battle company + support.. i'm only 8 marines and 2 WIP rhinos short of reaching my goal..

 

here is the WIP stuff that I consider worth showing off

Veteran Sergeant WIP.. pretty much done except for the base and some minor touch ups

old dusty techmarine received some touch ups on the yellow parts and my freshly printed homemade decals... I'm especially proud of the Mechanicus Symbols..

big thanks to the B&C download section

here is the old paintjob for comparison:

this is the command squad with their ride.... pretty much a razorback with more bling

the apothecary needs his servo skulls painted and some of the metal parts need touch ups..

especially proud of the company champion

more armour

i recently purchased an airbrush and the results are excellent! took me only an afternoon to get these 3 bad boys that far

the modified land raider also has some color on now... still need to convert the sponsons and close the hole in the front section

 

black reach dreads heavily converted

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/Marines%20Malevolent/IMG_7185.jpg

as you can see the right one is supposed to be an ironclad.. very happy with the result

only need to add the melta to the ironclad and do some minor touch ups like highlighting the black and painting the scrolls..

the shooty dread is an ex devastator sergeant hence the red stripe on the sarcopharcus

a 2 handed assault marine

 

and last but not least all the rhino based tanks I have for my yellow marines:

note the rhino that has the tactial arrow on the roof already.. very pleased with the result..

and the rest of the armour that is not based on a rhino chassis:

Some very cool conversions there and I love the colours! <_< What yellow are you using?

Vallejo Game Color Bad Moon Yellow and i recently purchased Vallejo Model Color Lemon Yellow which is slightly too bright so I darkened it up a little but looks also amazing

 

i love those two dreds , great conversions..!

thank you! I'm especially proud how i managed to make the boring black reach dreads look special

 

Alright :P

 

Just noticed your Veteran Sergeant; he's looking very spiffy, and definitely very impressive.

 

By the way, what's the WiP Stuff that you didn't consider worth showing off?

some standard tactical marines, the heavily converted black reach captain and

about 10 black reach terminators that were modified with regular termi bits in order to look like regular dynamic termis

they are just too WIP atm, so i will post pictures of them later when they are almost done

 

wow nice more close up shots!!

love the conversions and stuff

thanks ==)

Not even the Captain? :cry:

it is way too WIP and looks super messy atm.. i will post him asap though

to cure your curiosity:

i removed the bolter and the front section of the black reach captain, added a MarkIV Torso + FW Veteran Sergeant Haas' Head with Sicarius' Haircrest.. the relic blade was exchanged with a shorter gladius... that's prety much it

 

Excellent paintjobs your yellow is awesome. Can I ask how you made the right handed powerfist on the Ironclad Dred?

 

Cheers

it cut the Multimelta away and added the lower part of a spare FW powerfist i had lying around..

 

Either it's Forgeworld, or he cut a Left-Handed Dreadnought Power Claw up a bit, and used the Shouder from a Right-Handed Dreadnought Arm to mount it on.

 

That's my guess anyway :P

good guess =)

 

your iron clad is AWESOME! looks like soomething our of a mechwarrior dark ages novel. LOVE it! think i just found atemplate for how i want to do 'my' ironclad once i get the parts.

sweet! i didnt like the GW concepts that much either, that's why i came up with my own design...

The lower leg armour are made from the extra shell holder things from the plastic vindicator kit and the improved armour plating on the torso are from a LR lascannon side sponson..

 

That Ironclad looks really impressive. Weapons bristling out of every available mounting point. Nice job.

 

The yellow looks really clean as well.

thats how imagines those bad boys :D the lower rocket launcher thingies are supposed to be the ironclaud assault grenade launcher described in the codex

 

thanks a lot for the positve feedback so far =)

tagsta,

 

I just love that two handed assault sgt.

 

That pose just says, "Go ahead, mess with me".

 

I'm afraid that I will have to find a way to put someone like him into one of my tactical squads. He's just too brilliant of a pose.

Looking good. That two-handed chainsword marine is really awesome. I may have to try a conversion of that. :lol:

The two-handed chainsword model looks tough as nails. I really like the iron clad dread design and make borrow some of you armor ideas.

 

What did you use for the crane arm on your techmarine rhino? It looks awesome.

thanks for the feedback guys...

i will paint that little intimidating guy as soon as i have new white primer =)

he will probably the second in command for the assault squad... (so like a combat squad leader)

/edit

the crane is made from CSM chains combined with a IG sentinel leg

 

 

I'm not usually a fan of Loyalist pieces, but wow! I love the striking colors! Yellow marines have always looked good, IMO... Keep up the great work!

thanks a lot =)

 

 

that is officially the BEST Iron Clad I have ever seen!
WOW!! They look amazing! I love the color scheme and the Ironclad Dred the best!

good to hear positve feedback on the dread.. I'm satisfied with the conversion myself

i will try to get the last touch ups and the base finished and post some more detail shots of the conversion the next few days

 

cheers
