I am Legion Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 This also shows how I would use them in combat squads. And today I begin my second squad. Sorry about the blurry parts, but I have a crummy camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethsye Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I love them ... though the camo on the MM dude's backpack could be a little bit better all the parchment is brillant. Can't wait to see what else your going to produce .. any hints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie's Gun Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 nice work! The scales look good. Any chance of more picks of the sarge?, The scale detail on his powerfist looks particularly interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks guys. Next I'm working on a second tac squad (2 trrops and 1 HQ, as is fitting for a fresh new army). I just got the guy looking the way I want to day and will begin priming him tomorrow hopefully, if not then monday. I got outdated pics of the sergeant in my albums if you want to check it out. By outdated I mean his combi-flamer is still silver, whereas here I tried to tie him into the sqaud more. Once the battery charges on the camera I wil take another shot.

IanV Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Excellent work. The only thing I can think of right now is the ammo pouches and power lines need some highlights, but other than that, great job! The magma effects are particularly exquisite.

Vel'Cona Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Really clean painting here. Very crisp green without being too bright. Freehand standard is pretty cool too. Your minimalist approach to metallics seems to have placed greater emphasis on the armor color than the shiny bitz. All said, very nice squad.

ShinyRhino Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Nicely done! Did you freehand the Crux Terminatus on the multimeltagunner's parchment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 I actually got this parchment from a bits order from another person over at Minibattles (see link below), and it came with that badge on it. I actually cannot draw for the life of me. Vel'cona - yes, the armour is something I strived hardest to do nicely. After I finish my second Tactical squad, I'm going to delve even deeper into making the armour look better. And if anyone cares. Sometime before the next week ends, I will have my next Marine for squad 2 complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azadul Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Awesome squad man, just brilliant. Could you post a pic of the guy with the cape, he looks pretty sick from what i can see, which is not much atm. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistorius Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Beautiful work, Frater. I'm sure these look stunning on the tabletop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 I've only used them 2 times, but that was before they were fully painted and ready to go. The one game I tried using them in as a full squad was two games ago at a 2000 point objective based game, and they never made it out of the rhino before I wiped out my buddies forces. But I've gotten many compliments for the unit, and everyone is very careful around them. So I am a little proud. Just so I set the record straight. I have been painting for 15 years with 0 talent for art. This is THE best I can do and it's still no where close to some of the other stuff I've seen out there which almost looks realistic in terms of painting quality. Anyone can paint like this at almost any point in their hobby stage. I spend about 2 weeks painting each guy, being very very careful. But I always appreciate comments, as it makes me want to do better with each model from this point on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 The squad looks great. I still think that last guy looks TOO awesome for a tac marine, but hey, still amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Not bad, you gotta work on painting your brown leather bits. Try starting with lighter brown and then using a wash. I don't recommend Devlan Mud for this, the old Rust Brown Ink is still my favourite. Use the Gryphon Sepia maybe, even a little red might help, some edge highlighting on them too would be good.

TheTruePhantasm Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 wow i like them a lot if these are tactical cant wait to see your sternguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Muskie - I actually updated the leather pouches with a highlight. So they arn't so bland now. As for sternguard....I have no Idea what to do for them, or if they'll even be in my final tournament list. So I may not have to worry about it too much.
