Fausto2071 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 so, now that there's the CotI III and I've 3 months to finish, now I've got some incentive to actually work on these guys and get them painted, so first here's the color scheme I'm shooting for: very inspired by the red corsairs, the actual colors will be darker here's the tactical squad: if you can maybe see that color on the far right, that what im gonna have as the trim being that those monsters discontinued brazen brass Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165221-the-pandora-condemners/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapture747 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I have to say I love your plasma gunner's pose. The use of the missile launcher hand is miles above the usual librarian hand.

Jodah Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 haha, very cool plasma gunner. i made one myself, because like Brother Iencub said, no army should be without one.very cool looking mini's so far. Â Im glad i still have 2 pots of brazen brass left. stupid of them to discontinue it. I was planning on doing my elites entirely with it. o wells.

Fausto2071 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 so added more base colors to this guy~ if you can see it, his left eye (to us) is actually oversized~this is quite irritating, its bulbous, so i think i'll try to make it look like a scar at some point. also irritating: my Xacto blade snapped earlier today (excuse for mould lines) and my detail brush has lost its hairs~very irritating considering it was kolinsky. oh well my mission tomorrow will be to buy a new one also forgot~this is my chapter symbol: it's called Aegishjalmur~an Icelandic magic sign that means protection and irresistibility in battle Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165221-the-pandora-condemners/#findComment-1944933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
khairney Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 lookin good! im assuming youl be getting transfers of the chapter badge, its gonna be a bitch to paint! cant imagine why youd want to be irrisitable in battle! youd end up being shagged to death by an army of icelanders. i know of better ways to go...

Brother Iencub Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Good start on painting the sarge - not really much else that i can say at this point The chapter badge might be a small problem, but it looks like a Chaos star..so maybe another Badge would be in place?

I'm aware of the similarites, it actually works into the fluff that my guys walk a very thin line between loyalist and turning renegade, and yes, i'll be doing em as decals, i asked for it on the 'ye olde decal project' thread also~he's not part of CotI III but he's a pandora condemner so he'll be thrown on here. this is my head honcho: and his back pack actually thinking of doing a new model that will be a count-as shrike Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165221-the-pandora-condemners/#findComment-1945517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fausto2071 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 a question~do you see how the mechrite red has an almost grainy look to it? it's my very first experience with foundation paint, and i'm wondering if the foundations are naturally thicker, because i read a thread about the citadel spray gun and that it took foundations better because they are thinner~I dunno~i tried watering it down and that helped a bit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165221-the-pandora-condemners/#findComment-1945653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fausto2071 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 behold! the tact sargeant~finally got a detail brush~still have some work to do on this guy, but I'm very happy so far~this is almost the first mini I've painted sine my 13 or so year absence, and the first face I've done, what do you all think of it?

Dark Brotherhood Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Nice! I made my plasma gunner like that by complete coincidence yesterday. "Oh crap, not overheated again!"

aNex88 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 IMO, I don't think you should have the dead terminator on the dread's base. I feel it detracts from the dreadnought as the center of attention. Maybe go for a dead Chaos marine instead? Or you could give the impression of the dead terminator under some debris, with some of his body parts popping out from under.
