PapaSmurf Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 it lacks highlights, but i kinda like that dark grey... also, like mentionedbefore, the chapter symbol and the helmet are very nice^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187740-1ste-space-shark-wip/#findComment-2221489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Helmet looks awesome, agree that the grey looks a little flat :) Nice work though.

Ensis Ferrae Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 i myself love "natural highlights" and so dont often paint much in the way of highlights. That said, i love the clean look of your gray. Wish i could see the right shoulderpad. What you've done with the helmet is really truly unique. If you do this with every marine in your army, it will look fantastic.

styygens Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I like the helmet. I've been thinking about doing a version of this army for awhile. I think it has a lot of customization potential.

Stilsgar Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 thanks all for you're kind words. yes it lacks highlights. But it will get them, like my Space Wolfs they first get a base collouring until I have enough points for some nice battles, mostly 1000 pts. Than I'll go for the highlights. As for the right shoulder pad, it's still "blank" well red in this case. I havent decided yet as what to do with the squad markings and the different marking of vets, devistators and other special units, I didn't want to use the traditionally squad markings of the codex astartes but more something in the line of Space Wolf markings as I am going for a Maori/oceanic kinda thing, so tribal tattoos would be cool and/or shark teeth. I'm very happy with the end result of the helmet altough initially it was more ment for vets and sergeants but with the way it looks I'm thinking of giving it to all of my marines, it will lose some of it's uniqueness though. Before I can go fullout in painting an army , I still need some research and decision making to do, but at least i've made a start.

Stilsgar Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Well that helm design wasn't even my own idea, I was inspired by a concept art by capt Tiberius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187740-1ste-space-shark-wip/#findComment-2223336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
