ThundaHawk Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've personally never been a huge fan of GW's 'new' 2nd company scheme with the gold trim/black weapons, so without further adieu... My original 'test minis' from a good 2-3 years back http://onfinite.com/libraries/1488476/683.jpg and now... A slightly revised take, with deeper (and much darker in the pictures, anyway... :cussty camera) tones of blue and red to go along with a 'flatter' yellow http://onfinite.com/libraries/1488477/926.jpg One more angle... http://onfinite.com/libraries/1488478/683.jpg And finally, a blurry pic of some WIP scouts for the lulz (test mini on the right there) http://onfinite.com/libraries/1488480/683.jpg Comment away :devil: (I'll try to update this thread as I get more things done, still have a SICK command squad, Sternguard, and another Tac squad primed and ready) Cheers.

Stargazer Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Yeah I really like them and you've really got that old school look down which is rare to see nowadays but I'm glad you've pulled it off and done it justice! Look forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
litlamzetiv Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 They look great--I'm a big fan of the yellow trim and red bolters myself. By the way, what did you use for the sniper rifle on Telion? It looks huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks huge! It's an Imperial Guard lasgun from the Inquisitor range from way back, converted the barrel/scope/stock. Going to field the model as a standard scout sarge with a huge Barrett .50 cal, heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Fury Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hey there, first of all I have to say that is some sweet paint jobs there thundahawk, crisp and clean. Awesome paint scheme as well, it's the one I would use if I didn't have 10,000 points worth of salamanders to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thantoes Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 As a staunch Ultra fan and player I have to say I love these. I really like the what looks like a modded stormbolter on your sergeant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I echo T's comments, also that scout test is fantastic. Nice work GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhumed Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Much better than the new scheme I think. Down with GWs modern fluff/colour scheme revisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 does that sarge have a storm bolter? it looks awesome! i prefer this paint job as well, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu1f Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Looking good mate. How did you achieve the classic yellow? I have always had a problem doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThundaHawk Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks for the compliments, everyone. The Sarge does, in fact, have a stormbolter is converted off a filed-down vehicle sprue... really happy with how that turned out, pics don't do the bugger much justice heh. The yellow was built up in thin layers over a scorched brown base, (snakebite/golden yellow mix to pure golden yellow with a little white for highlight). The "gryphone sepia" wash GW makes is VERY good for toning down yellow, I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumbaFish Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I really like these, they have that oldschool flavor but I like your slightly more subdued take on the classic ultramarine scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
