Sir Clausel Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I spy some moldlines on both the flamer guy and missillauncher guy. On the flamer and on the missillauncher holding arm. That said. This is some great minis! Love the work you have done! Is the Mars dudes an army or just for fun?

You spy correct Sir Clausel - and even the slightest uneveness comes out when drybrushing :huh: They where just for fun...I got tired of painting classic Dark Angels, so I made a batch of 5 Mars Marines. I'll post the rest in the following post. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1947252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Good evening guys - here's the last of the five DA Mars pattern marines. These two battle brothers are wielding bolters, one of them with a fixed combat knife as a bayonett. Both are on homemade bases. Enjoy ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1947291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Here's my DA Terminator Chaplain with crozius and storm bolter. I'm very pleased about this model and the way it came out. It's a great sculpt and the details are gorgeous. I'm currently waiting on a base from Scibor Monstrous Miniatures to put him on which will do him credit ;) Even though he's mostly black the details took forever, and I don't even want to think about how many hours that went into him. I hope you like him! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1947297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadskær Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 How do you paint your gold? Its gorgous! I suppose it's the gold on the chappy you mean? Here's the recipe: <_< - Undercoat: chaos black - Basecoat: 1:1 mix of Shining Gold & Scorched Brown - Wash with watered down Scorched Brown - Shining Gold brushed over the basecoat - Highlight with 1:1 mix of Shining Gold & Mithril Silver - Wash with Devland Mud - Wash with Gryphonne Sepia - Re-highligt with 1:2 mix of Shining Gold & Mithril Silver /Vadskær Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1947479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Heres my last post before going on Easter hollidays at my parents. For today I've got my spankin' new Godhammer Pattern Land Raider, which I've just finished! I've had this model for quite some time, and painted it in all to many stages. Frist, I wanted to do a Crusader pattern, but after working with the Hurricane sponsons for some time, I decided to quit that idea - mainly because of the horrible sculpt on the metal parts. By this stage though, I'd already done the twin linked assault cannons, and decided to keep them and just let them count-as Heavy Bolters. The theme is Dark Angels with some touches of Deathwing. There's still the odd little highlight left to be done on some armour parts, but that'll wait till after Easter. I'd like your oppinion on wheather I should do some dirt n' grime on it along the tracks and do chipped paint and scratches...ie. battle wear and tear!? I can't decide for myself. The interior is also painted and I'll try do shoot that another day. Oh, I forgot to mention - the small decorative shields on the sides are campaign victory shields where the LR was fielded. Enjoy :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1948277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hello all, I found some older pics of all the Mars-pattern marines together. Thought I'd just post them as they always look cool together.

Vadskær Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 One more for today: here's a Terminator in the colour scheme of the Iron Lords - never mind the lack of fluff and the build :) I used extensive wash on the gold parts to create different tones. The base is scratch built with various pieces. Enjoy! C&C welcome as always.

Vadskær Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hello all, It's nearly weekend for me, and I thought I'd just post my Ultramarines Sergeant with Boltgun & Powerfist. He's mounted on a Scibor Monstruous Miniatures base and is one of five UM's in a combat squad. All icons and chapter symbols are of course, hand painted. This was my first attempt at a white helmet and a light grey shading which I think went well. The rest of the squad is to follow.

Captain Mike Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I like it all! Those Mars pattern marines really caught my eye. They are almost 'generc space marine'. No offense meant, I'v been trying to think of what marine's like that would look like. All in all, really nice.

Yes, the Mars pattern are quite generic, and where batch painted. They where drybrushed, which speeded up the process a lot, leaving more time to do details, freehand and other goodies :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1977324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadskær Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi all, It's been a while since my latest post here, mainly because I've been busy with everyday life :P Hopefully I'll soon get some more time to paint. I'm just about finished with my first DA sternguard model from the sternguard range by GW, so this will hopefully come up soon. I've been working a lot on Brother Captain Stern for one of my very good friends, who plays Daemon Hunters. He's the guy I also did Lord Coteaz posted on page one for. I really like the Stern model, and in keeping with my friends colour scheme I kept with a strickt gold scheme for his armour. On the cape I went with a regal purple, as this is the traditional colour for people in power. The sword though, I think I'll re-do! The blade was painted before it was fixed to the model and I don't think the flame-coloured lightning pattern fits well with the rest of the model. I'll probably do something like a Mithril silver blade with a couple of purple washes over it, to tie it together with the overall colour scheme. I'm really pleased the way the face came out and also the simple armour plate attached to his left arm shoulder guard. I went for a classic gothic lettered S for Stern. The base is from Scibor Monstrous Miniatures - it had to be flat, since Sterns pose is quite stiff. Enjoy the pictures - C&C are always welcome. /Vadskær Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-1977333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, on the pics the blade does look a little bent, but that isn't the case IRL. Hmm, I don't know what went wrong in the picture-to-B&C process!?

Vadskær Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi all, After some time doing IG, I'm finally ready with a couple of sweet new Astartes models - this time two Dark Angels. First up is the illustrious Veteran Sergeant Powerfist, who has appeared in numerous games of mine but never with an actual powerfist on the model...but not anymore :P The model is of course the limited GW web-only Space Marine which I managed to purchase though eBay. Next is a model that I've just finished this evening - a Ravenwing biker mounted on a resin ancient ruins base from Scibor. This is actually my first finished Ravenwing model, and I'm really pleased about how it came out. The model is kept fairly simple without loads of add-ons or funky freehand. Just the basic, which keeps it nice n' crisp. C&C always welcome - enjoy! :) /Vadskær Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-2028742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Argent Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I just wanted to say that I love your guys here, particularly the Mars Pattern DA. The red is rich and full and the detail level increidible. This is the standard that I hope to someday reach.

Death Dealer 101 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Great marines Vadskærs, really nicley presented. I particulary like the red marines, almost the colour scheme i will have mine when i have time to paint. What is the colours/steps to getting such a rich red dark red. You mentioned they were drybrushing. Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-2029076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadskær Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 the bone on the power fist marines helmet is amazing! what is your recipe? your dark angels are looking awsome mate Hi Chris :lol: The bone-white helmet was a result after trying to do a pure white helmet on one of my Sternguards (gotta remember to post him - he ended up pretty cool!). I had difficulties getting a clean white coat, so I decided to try the method I use on my Deathwing: Undercoat Iyanden Darksun Basecoat Desert Yellow Coat Bleached Bone in thin layers until you have an even coverage. Shade with Devlan Mud wash Tone up highpoints on helmet/object with first 1:1 Bleached Bone to Skull White and thinned with a little water ...add a little Skull White and do another highlight Final highligt is just thinned Skull White on the highest points/areas Once you have the bleached bone coat it goes really fast. Shade with the wash and do the highligts in the consecutive stages in one go as the paint has enough time to dry for you to add a little more white to the mix and go again :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164659-vadsk%C3%A6rs-marines/page/2/#findComment-2029134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
