Melchiah Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Just getting back into the 40K hobby, and having always liked The Blood Angels and their successor Chapters, decided to have a go at The Flesh Tearers colour scheme, forgetting completely how tricky red can be to paint!! So, here's a shot of what I'm currently working on: http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminator01.jpg This is my first mini in about three years, still very much WIP, but fairly pleased with it so far... C&C welcome! Melchiah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 The red looks very nice. How did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melchiah Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Cheers! :eek Pretty simple, just a little time consuming: Chaos Black undercoat, Mechrite Red, Red Gore, Baal Red wash, Blood Red highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 very nice - have been trying to decide on what scheme to go with myself recently (normally play dark angels) and painted up test models in Angels of vengence and flesh tearers - apprecitate now how difficult red is to get looking right and you seem to have got it spot on :P if you are less keen on so much red you could do flesh eaters instead (have a look at chaplain Desmondus's stuff - its awesome linky) also - website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrie Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Simple but solid. Great work on the red, you managed a very smooth and opaque look on the armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueTrooper Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 He looks really good, the red looks almost like the GW version. I personally prefer the darker red on FT's and perhaps abit of weathering/battle damage might add more flavour. As is, he looks great. Melchiah - is that name from the soul reaver game?

Melchiah Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks for the comments... Need to do alot more work as he's the test model for my Flesh Tearers, and battle damage is on the agenda, kinda want them to have a realistic, well worn look that reflects the Chapter, and agree he's a bit clean cut so far... Straight from the Adeptus show rooms on Mars!! -RogueTrooper, Ah, yup, is indeed from the Soul Reaver games, loved that series! :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melchiah Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Morning folks! Finally got a little more work done on my Flesh Tearer assault Termies... Here's some more work on the fella already seen: http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminator03.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminator02.jpg And some more WIP's: http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminator1DEC3.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminator2DEC3.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminator3DEC3.jpg And a very awful group shot: http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Terminatorgroup.jpg As usual, I seem to have a massive blind-spot when it comes to Mold lines and flash. Rarr! :) C&C Always welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Looking really nice there mate. The red is smooth and choice of eye colour is nice. Good job on the white too. ( I hate doing white). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melchiah Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Another quick update on my Flesh Tearers in TDA: http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/TDA01.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/TDA03.jpg http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/TDA02.jpg Progress is a little slow at the moment, but quite pleased with how they're shaping up... These guy's are basically test pieces for a few different techniques, aiming for table top quality, with the aim of finally having a painted army to game with! So, trying to ignore the new Space Wolves kits as much as possible!! C&C Welcomed as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 All very nice, though the middle one is my favourite. Though the mold lines on the hammers need some radical surgery.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Nice smooth style you got. Will you be adding black saw tooth patterns that are commonly found on Flesh Tearers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melchiah Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Just a teeny-tiny update... Started work on a Tactical squad for my Flesh Tearers... And what with the new Blood Angels Dex and models coming out, really need to get my arse in gear! http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af317/MattCaine/Sargeant001.jpg Gotta new job, and just not finding enough time for the toy men! *Sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord gunthar Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I really like your painting style, your lines are so crisp and clear, all your marines look like they just came off the assembly line ( in a good way ). They are not exactly painted to a high standard but they are excellent considering that you havnt painted in 3 years. Keep it up.

Rob_Loken Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Very nice sarge. My only crit would be to have the shouder trims black as well. Right now he looks like a Blood Angel sarge rather than a Flesh Tearer. But thats subjective so ignore me if you want. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
