zxyogi Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hello Brothers here are some pics of my Marines malevolent,pics taken with my moby as my main camera has gone tits up!! I have tried to make the yellow look washed out.....sort of patched up with new paint thats not an exact match.I have yet to do some battle damage. Also not sure if to do them Codex or Non codex!!! I am basing them after they got the new armour/weapons back that was taken from them by the Goody2shoes Salamander Boys. Comments please. :) http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/noodletoff/Bikes/WH40K/MM4.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/noodletoff/Bikes/WH40K/MM3.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/noodletoff/Bikes/WH40K/MM2.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/noodletoff/Bikes/WH40K/MM1.jpg Oh...the reason the decals are shiny is they are waiting for a coat of matt varnish!! Talking of which....a BIG THANKS for the Guys that designed the decals....Tubal, Shoemaker and MyNameisTudor. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nice! I really like the fact you have been very strict with a 2 colour scheme - yellow and black/silver - it is very effective and gives them lots of coherency. I look forward to more updates.

IronDuke Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 As a fellow yellow marine I know how annoying it can be to get a good yellow - these look great. As already said the limited palette works great, and the matte varnish should finish them off nicely! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Very nice looking marines there. Like the others have said good work on the scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Nicely done. Clean and effective. Just remember that the Marines Malevolent in that story didn't get much of the armor that was on the AdMech ship. It was a drop in the bucket compared to the total inventory present. Hardly enough for a squad or two, let alone a whole company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muller Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 yeah, but one of the marine's helmets and another's left backpack exhaust also seems shiny. might just be the pic though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxyogi Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yeah its the pics,the light was coming from all directions [took pic under kitchen cabinet,loads of spot lights]. I do have a tendency to highlight/dry brush my figures with boltgun metal to pick out the raised bits and look like general wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Captain Corveus Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 The stark contrast between the black and yellow is really effective. I usually don't like yellow SMs (Sorry IFs :() but these look really good. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllHallows Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Whats your recipe for the yellow zxyogi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxyogi Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 My recipe for yellow?......well......lysandun yellow foundation for the base paint followed with a wash of Golden yellow then when dry a wash of Sunburst yellow.When this is dry i then go back over with a wash of Golden yellow in various places. I then highlight with a mix of sunburst yellow and white. The thing is when i paint my Malevolents i want the armour to look washed out and repainted with various non matching yellows.....cant get the same colour code when out saving mankind!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brother varen Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 These are very good. Have you thought of highlighting the black areas to bring out the detail more? Are you building the army to a list or by what you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
