Imperator Mos Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I painted this guy for a couple of reasons. 1. I like the color scheme of BA. 2. I dont paint red very often, so I wanted to give that a shot. 3. I've played against a lot of BA armies, and none of them looked as cool as I would have liked, so I wanted to see if i could do better. 4. I've been toying around with starting an assault based chapter, so he's a test for how much work it would be to paint like, 50 more. So anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks. Yes, I did a crappy job on the mold lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris127 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nicely done. It's got a gritty look to it that not many BA that I've seen have. I also like the hue of red that you chose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin .44 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Not bad at all sir. I've been thinking of doing the same thing myself lately. And an easy way to take care of mold lines is shaving them off with a razor blade or hobby kinfe. makes it nice and clean and takes only a few seconds.

zxyogi Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Mould lines :huh: always notice one i missed when painting!! Your BA looks good!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bleak Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Looks good, but BA Assault Marines have yellow helmets to denote their specialty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tancred Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Really nice start there mate, if you do decide to paint an army be sure to download the pdf. codex to learn the different markings. Mr. Bleak has already said about helmet colour but also things like the inset of the shoulder pad is black to identify the sergeants rank. But for your first test model it is really good.

igor Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nicely done, it's always a pleasure to see someone else's take on the chapter I run. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Nice and clean model, and I like the basing as well, though I have to echo what has already been said about the yellow helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaeus Wrex Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Oooooh! I simply MUST know how you got that red, I'm thinking of painting up my Black Reach marines as Blood Angels and can't find a decent recipe anywhere. Yours have that darker, grittier feel that I really would like to reproduce. Any chance you could post/PM me the recipe please? L. Wrex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naysmith Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 A little to orange in my opinion but that can be the photos. Nice paintjob overall. cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperator Mos Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks for the replies, guys, I wasn't expecting this much of a response. I'm aware of the yellow helmet thing, just didn't want to... :lol: Red recipe is black undercoat, mechrite foundation, light coat of blood red, black wash, blood red highlight. Sealed with Testors Dullcoat. The dullcoat makes the transfer blend very nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
