retsef Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi guys, I have posted my 3 test minis in metcalfedan's topic ( http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=151098 ) and decided that whilst it would be nice to keep all the pics there, its just cruel to hi-jack his thread all the time. This is a pre-heresy (minus the appropriate models) army. I am only using models that I have laying around after 2 years of collecting Orks and swapping for bitz boxes for da boyz. I worked out after some counting I basically had a 1750 point army, when I invested in AoBR. This will be the first and last update for a while on this - I am going on 6 weeks overseas holidays in 2 days. I just thought it might be worht throwing this up while i was working away. There are plenty of other pics, but the light is bad (and the camera too) so i skipped them. The green is a lot lighter IRL than in these pics, but you get the idea Some standard marines http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010001.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010002.jpg HQ - Abbadon and his Termies (Justaerin) - I know they arent BLACK black, but you just cant get Viva Metallica Black right. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010011.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010012.jpg Full Army shot so far: http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010016.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010017.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010018.jpg http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u2/fester82/Marines/P1010019.jpg The Predator is only undercoated over a dodgy snot green last paintjob so you can see bits of that around still. How To's for my colour scheme: Standard Infantry Black Basecoat Paint on Chainmail Paint on Thraka Green Paint on Asurman Blue Detail. 'Black' Termies adn Abbaddon Paint on 25/75 (or more) Boltgun Metal / Chaos Black (i didnt undercoat) Paint on Devlan Mud Detail. Green Termie (sarge) Basecoat black Paint on Chainmail Paint on Devlan Mud Paint on Devlan Mud Paint on Thraka Green Paint on Asurman Blue Detail. Comments, wild abuse etc appreciated Also one quick note for anyone complaining about how hard it is to paint a marine army. Try doing 4000 pts of Orks in 2 years over 2x1750pt armies and super-heavies. I did like 12 marines (undercoated), 4 termies and my HQ in a night.

eyescrossed Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 They're good, but a bit too green for Sons of Horus, IMO. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161620-sons-of-horus-a-tale-of-viva-metallica/#findComment-1898166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Always nice to see the metallic style spread! Speaking of Chaos, I think green wash over bright metal could give it a moss-covered look. Alternatively, green wash over, say, dwarf bronze might produce an interesting oxidised look on the bronze. Got to try it!
