Belm Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi folks. well, after a year of (very) on and off painting, I've finally got 18 fully painted marines to my name. these are the first models i've painted in about 6 years, and while there's alot of room for improvement, overall i'm really happy with how they came out. Here's a few pics; any advice/tips would be very much appreciated!

Lastly, my WIP Emperors Champion: http://i495.photobucket.com/albums/rr316/jambamagamba/ec.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I really like the silver scheme you have it's like the actual templars ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belm Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks! i wanted to give them a more historical Knightly feel, although i'm not sure if my colour scheme will look good with vehicles, might seem a bit too shiny! For the neophytes i plan to make the next bunch closer to regular marine scouts, to show them being further along their training than my current ones. I really like using the pig iron gas mask heads, i think they go really well with the flagellant bodies. As for rules, A GW staff member suggested using the Space codex rules as opposed to the BT one, but i'm not so sure about this, are BT particularly worse off in 5th edition?

Athens Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I like the idea for the neophytes. I usually think of neophytes as basically scout models but this seems to fit the Templars even better. Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The Grey scheme is good :) I especially like your red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
