I have enough models to make: 1 5 man RAS 1 5 man scout assault squad 1 5 man scout sniper squad 1 10 man tactical squad And a Chaplain Here is some of the progress I have made to date.

barry_hhh Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 great choice , you dont see many flesh tearers around , i reckon the PF on the scout looks too big but thats just me. other wise, get painting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlagueBearer Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The work done on the green stuff is simple yet great!!! Nice job!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I agree that the fist looks big, but it is a power fist afterall, I am ok with it ;) I am not sure if I should model blood drops onto the chapter symbol or paint them on later. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 I just finished reading Red Fury by James swallow, and I loved it. It got me to thinking though :) Do you guys think I should take the purity seals off of my RAS' jump packs or leave them on? I know that the FTs are minimalist when it comes to their war gear and I was not sure if this would flow over into a lack of purity seals or not? Thoughts.......?

Grimm Blade Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 FINALLY got my butt in gear and did up my first FT!!! I think I have captured the feel of the Chapter nicely, what do you guys think? http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002198.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002199.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002200.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002201.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002202.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002203.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002204.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolloverbeethoven Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Wow, excellent stuff! :-) The only slight quibble I would have is that maybe the eyes "pop out" a bit too much. Having said that the wear and tear on the armour is top notch, and just how the devil did you achieve that red? Beautiful stuff. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks. For the red: I based him black Applied two thin coats of scab red washed with Badab black applied another thin coat of scab red highlighted with two thin coats of blood red washed with a thined Badab black. As for the eyes, I am going for a glowing eye look without using source lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Wow you have some talented GS skills. It looks simple, but I'm sure its more difficult than it seems. The first FT is a wonderful marine, an entire army of that standard would look very swell. Keep up the good work. (and kick your butt into higher gear, and work more!)

Grimm Blade Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 LOL!!! OK, OK..... Here is my second FT of the evening. This is the veteran sergeant for the squad. This is definitely the standard I am going to paint these guys to. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002205.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002206.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002207.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002208.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002209.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002210.jpg http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk57/GKTerminators/Flesh%20Tearers/002211.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Blade Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Fantastic work man.It's too bad the new codex has us turning all cuddly fluffwise. Keep the rage alive Brother! Very nice flesh tearers there. How do you do the chipping? It looks amazing.Vulkan Thank you first of all :P The technique is VERY simple. When I am finished shading/highlighting, etc... I water down some GW Boltgun metal, and apply to the areas I want to appear work with a thin brush. Then I wash it with Badab black to take a lo of the shine out of it. That's it !

Shortsonfire79 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Great looking team mate. A squad of these guys would be fancy to see on a board, let alone a full army! Higher gear I say! More! :P -Shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm Blade Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have a question......... In my FT tac squad I have a marine with a rocket launcher, should he have a blue helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeptusDavidus Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I don't think so. He's a Tactical Marine, after all, not a Devastator. Likewise, if you have a bunch of bolter-toting guys in your Devastator Squad, they all get blue helmets, because they're still Devastators.

S. Bloodhowl Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Nice models, LOVE the red might do a FT army myself, if you dont mind, I'm pretty sure it the blood angels devistatotrs that have blue helmets and even than only the devistators. BTW, how do you do the GS FT symbol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 these are fantasic, i agree with shorts, speed it up!!! :blink: always liked flesh tearers myslef, you gonna get the new master they released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 I am reading Black Tide and Puluo (who carries a Heavy Bolter) has a blue helmet but is the member of a regular squad, so I wasn't sure. For the Chapter symbol I make a ball of GS, flatten it onto the shoulder with a sculpting tool, then mke the teeth with the tip of an exacto knife. Simple but fiddly. I am not sure if I will buy Seth (Chapter Master) or not (I probhably will :blink: )............If I do, he will need to be customized, he has a baby face and does not look rough enough to be a Flesh Tearer as far as I am concerned. He will need scars, and he is supposed to have a metal plate on his head from an enhancement he has. Astorath however, will definitley make a nice addition though :P I am thinking of using him as either a Company master, or have him be the FT's High Chaplain! I was thinking that a squad of Sanguine guard painted dark red with black wings would work nicely as his honour guard. I was also thinking about sculpting muscle onto them in the samme fashion as the Astorath figure. GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdeptusDavidus Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Well, I was just going off the cuff, sort of. :rolleyes: If a novel suggests it, and more importantly, if you think it will look cool, then go for the blue helmet on Heavy Weapons Guy (sandvich). They're your models, after all - you're in charge of them. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That paint scheme is pure FT, man. I have never seen such a nice and dark FT force before...you make me want to build up one myself! :D Will you paint Seth as well? I am sure with your abilities he will look really awesome!

Rob_Loken Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Really nice looking FT's mate. The chipping effects work really well. On the blue helmet thing, go with what you think looks cool. Though I personally look at it the same way a S. Bloodhowl in that only Dev's would have Blue helmets. Looking forward to more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Really liking that Veteran Sarge with the terminator power fist, it fits the pose perfectly. I'm gonna file that away for a future conversion project. The paintwork is top notch too, can't wait to see more of these :P James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShotgunFacelift Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 color scheme looks great and the weathering really adds to the theme. Looking forward to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
