Rob_Loken Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Heres a better picture of him. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/Blood%20Ravens/PICT1636.jpg Terminatorinhell @ the dark red is achieved bystarting out with a basecoat of Scab Red, then adding Blood Red red to the Scab Red in larger quantities each layers. So towards the edges of the armour or where you want it to look like the light is hitting it you add more blood red. It takes a while and alot of mixing but I find it much nicer than using mechrite red, which I haven't red much success with. Hope that helps. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Very nice deep, rich and vibrant red. Contrasts well with the parchment white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 Cheers Cpt. Lysander, I managed to get out of my house today and went and picked up some marines so hopefuly he should have his squad finished up and next to him soon enough. Also nearly finished a Librarian for the TT but not really sure if I'll bother using him, it just seems that the BR should have a Librarian.

Rob_Loken Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Here's a completed Heavy Bolter Marine for my Tac Squad. Quite pleased with how he turned out. Certainly the best I've painted a heavy bolter before as normally they're just Boltgun Metal with a wash. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/Blood%20Ravens/PICT1656.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/Blood%20Ravens/PICT1657.jpg And here he is with the other members. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/Blood%20Ravens/PICT1659.jpg Looking at it I may go back and paint his left knee pad red. Cheers for looking. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kek Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 These marines are looking brill mate. You going to use them in the tournament that Mike is setting up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'll have to see how many points worth I can get done, I've got an army list sorted for them. I'll more than likely use my BA though, what their Furioso Drop Pod goodness and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kek Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Well i'm hoping to use a whole new army. Shall we see who can paint 1500 points first? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 We can give it a go. But I have every confidence you'll beat me to it. That guy took ages to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Lysander Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Nice job on the veteran: always a favourite model of mine, and you've done it justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Cheers, he's a nice model. I was initially a bit sceptical about him because he doesn't have an aquila on his chest to break up the red, but I'm happy with how he turned out in the end. I finished the grenade throwing today so I thought I'd post him up. Quite pleased with the posing, nothing fancy just a cut with a knife and a quick hand reposition and he was done. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/Blood%20Ravens/PICT1663.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/Blood%20Ravens/PICT1667.jpg I'm happy so far with the group posing of the squad. It's the first time I've really paid attention to how they look as a squad, normally I just put each pose together individually. This time I want them to look like they're part of a firing line (being objective sitters it made sense :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steingrimr Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Ha, the scouts look really stunty compared to the vets. The models look good though. I assume you've given them all a light coating of glossy varnish. Makes their armour look like they've polished it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Loken Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'll see what I can do Cptn Lysander. Steingrimnr @ There's no gloss on them but, the Scab Red and Blood Red does seem to get quite glossy once it's all mixed up. Though I do agree they look far glossier than any other Marines I've painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eikrem Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Those are outstanding marines. My particular favourite is the heavy bolter. Probably a very basic question, but what sort of grass have you used on their bases? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Nice red you have there Duncs, contrasts really well with the 'bone'. Are you're chapter badges free hand? If so good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hi there, Eikrem@ unfortunately mate I don't know what the grass is. I think it's just generic flock. I was given a bag of it by mate. You can't imagine how paranoid I was walking home with a little bag of green flock in my coat. ;) Midnight Runner @ Yeah the badges are freehand. Getting some practice in before the new Blood Angel releases. April can't come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
