After painting BA's I decided that the Codex wasn't for me, so I went a Marines Codex Army instead... anyway after a few months of painting I'll now throw pictures up at random! First... the heavies.

Lighting Marines Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I like! really clean paint job, nice bases and weathering. I would love to see a completed army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother 'Ussell Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 :ph34r: how have you done your bases? and wip pics of them by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettothegone Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Basis are resin bases by this guy off ebay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/25mm-Resin-Bases-10-Ro...93%3A1|294%3A50 I'm not advertizing for him, but he makes some decent stuff. Other then that, its just a coat of graveyard earth, washed with devlan mud, then highlighted again with graveyard earth. I have quite a few marines, I can put up a finished army pic soon.

Donkey Kong Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Nice Fists. Weathering on the tanks looks great. And a posted army will look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyro_Falcon Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Those Vindicators are nice, like the weathering and lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettothegone Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 An entire army shot will come Sunday after a tournament so I can use a table as a backdrop, I just don't have the room to take it all out and set it up so it doesn't look like they're all ganging together on some white Bristol board. Lots of tanks, and drop pods, and a Pedro. There will be a LRC added to the army shortly. I could do a WIP of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You're really letting yourself down with the decals - lovely paintjobs spoilt by silvering! Gloss your models before decalling, decal using a setting solution, then flat coat them afterwards - this will help prevent the decals having a visible film around them. Seriously, if you're gonna use decals, spend some time on them - you won't regret it. Oh, and do the weathering after the decals, obviously. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettothegone Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Actually, I tried that with some microset. I think they were off an old decal sheet cause no matter what I did to them they still look like that. Its not as pronounced when you see them in person unfortunately.

winterdyne Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Bummer... another trick that sometimes works is laying the decal *in* future / klear, that is wet the area with klear, then slide the decal into it, then brush another layer of klear on the top... but if the sheet itself is yellowed...

Lt_Kitty Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Is there a trick or any helpful tips for painting so clean? My army is mostly dark blue and I would greatly appreciate any hints. Anyway, nice looking paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, nice looking paint job! I wish I could tell you that there was some sort of secret.... but the only secret I have is an Airbrush :( I picked up some solvaset today and went over the decals with that... poking a hole in them to see if it was air... they look so much better all of a sudden when the solvaset got behind the decal.

winterdyne Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 That's great! I quite often use a pin when setting a decal to pop any air bubbles. If you're careful it's invisible once the decal settles. :-) New pics soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettothegone Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yup, tournament today, will post full out pics tonight and batreps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should do some better shots on the white bristol board, but this is what you get with my amateurish camera skills you can still see where I threw solvaset on the front decals. Honestly if you look at it normally you can't even see it. Cameras bring out all the crap you did on your models, so you know what to do for next time. Ahh well live and learn.

gettothegone Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 There's 1 more batch of sternguard coming with combi-meltas. There's 1 more drop pod coming for first turn dual drop pods. There's 2 Librarians. There's 1 Land Raider Crusader coming. But that's another thread. Enjoy the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat of vengence Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Lovely work mate, I bet they have a great feel/look on the tabletop. Question, did you use a spraygun to do the dust and soot? It looks very good. Just the right amount imho. RoV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Toddius Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 cool looking army, nice clean paintjobs. The army list is awesome as well. CF pushed up in your face is the best use for them IMHO. And thats exactly what these guys will do. Your pedro is very cool. Love to see some batreps on these guys :P Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Angel Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Great work man. You throw some scout in there and you would have about the whole chapter at this point. Question, why the 2 Vindicators and no preads? Dosen't that leave you a bit shy on the moble heavy support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, why the 2 Vindicators and no preads? Dosen't that leave you a bit shy on the moble heavy support? You're absolutely right. But, personally I enjoy the look and general gameplay of them. They're mainly for a 2v2 1000pt army I run with a friend of mine, and don't usually see 1700+ tournament play. If I did prefer heavies "which I'm on the fence about" I'd probably go for autocannon, hbolter preds due to the low cost. Ultimately the answer to your question is " Cause I like the look of them ;) and.. yes yes it does. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJL Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 nice looking army, im a really big fan of the way youve painted them, it gives them an almost dusty look as though they are dirty from combat. and its good seeing an army after my own heart, fast hitting with vindicator support! ps, are you going to paint the squad banners?
