Qapla Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I finally broke down and picked up some Space Marines (I'm an avid Tau player). They are pretty much a vanilla chapter based more for ranged and armored combat. Most names will be based off of constellations or other noteworthy spacial places. Also I plan on using Roman ranks for leaders. So far I have a Tactical Squad and their Rhino. I have a Captain and Command Squad, Sniper Scouts and a Razorback on its way. Here are the first 2 marines I got done: http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/SM4.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/SM3-1.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/SM2-1.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/SM3-1.jpg Here is the rest of Squad Fornax primed and awaiting paint: http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/Squad1.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/Squad2.jpg Close up of Decanus Fornax (Squad Sergeant) http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/Sgt.jpg And the squad's Rhino Transport Equuleus also primed (prolly gonna start this tomorrow): http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g242/Qapla187/Space%20Marines/Rhino.jpg Gonna do touch ups after I finish the whole squad. I'd also like some ideas as to what I can do with the black armor to bring out some details. I was thinking about a wash but I'm not sure what color would work with black other than perhaps white which I'm not sure how it would turn out. All C&C is welcome.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 With black I wouldn't recommend highlighting with white, If I was you I'd think about using a very dark grey, maybe a 50/50 mix of fortress grey/chaos black, I'm not sure a wash would have much impact. I'm sure if you search around the black templar threads there will be some good recipes flying around.

Dmetor Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Very nice job on those tac marines. I love the paint scheme. Also some very good freehand on the parchments. If I would have one criticism it would be the mold lines. Try scraping them off with a craft knife or filing them Other than that, great job!

verpine Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I like the scheme a lot but i just personally don't like the purple eyes.
