Rob_Loken Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 Updates, two assault marines without jump packs. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1741.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1742.jpg Cheers for looking.

David the Despoiler Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Jump packs are overrated. Very nice painting, my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 BLASPHEMY :lol: j/k But seriously, yellows are looking dang good too. Not that goofy bright yellow I've seen some folks use (makes the BA look more like clowns), nice and subdued. Subtle > overt. I'm curious what pattern (if any) you'll use for your Jump Packs.

Rob_Loken Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Cheers I figure that a squad of Assault Marines in a Rhino will be slightly more durable getting across the board in the face of Defilers and Whirlwinds and all the other good time pie plates. Of course they won't be able to charge when they get out on that turn but that'll be offset by using the Rhino as cover before moving it and then going crazy. I've just started the Jump Pack equipped marines too, but I haven't thought too hard about what the pattern will be. Will have to have another flick through me old rulebooks and White Dwarfs. Incidently I was looking through the old ones from when the Epic scale Imperator Titan was released with Titan Legions, and Blood Angels were everywhere. Aah those were the days.

The Black Watch Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Great paint job. I LOVE your ML guy with the bolt pistol. I had the same idea with mine (see the link in my sig). I liked the thought of him being caught by surprise while re-loading or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Black Watch @ Great minds think alike ;) Cool army by the way, that's a nice deep purple you've achieved. I did some work tonight on my Sarge for the assault squad. All finished minus the flock on the base. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1743.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1744.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1745.jpg I've made a start on the Jump Pack squad too but need to do some modelling work on them as the paint is too thick on the helmets so the eyes are essentially filled up.

Capt. Lysander Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Great work on the reds! Smooth, and in depth. My favourite part of the armour is the powerfist: masterful blending! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks Cpt. Lysander really appreciate it. I've finished the squad now. And nearly completed the Jump Pack marines. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1757.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlak Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1742.jpg This marine is really superb - the yellow is, in my opinion, exceptional. I'm actually tempted to strip the heads I have on my new (now it seems, soon out of date...) VAS to follow this recipe. The reds are as I would like them too. I will admit, I was initially skeptical (thats relatively mind, compared with the other masters work on here etc. not my own!) with the tacticals, but the assault marines, particularly the one above, have totally won me over! More please! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm not sure as to why, but I also like the plainer marine to the far left of your command squad: extremely simple armour pieces, yet it brings the model to life :). I also like the marine extending his chainsword to his side. Mind if I ask where you got that from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCC Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 That lovely orange touched red reminds me most pleasantly of the GW Studio BA army circa the release of Codex: Angels of Death for W40K 2nd Ed. They do indeed make for a very nice tabletop army Duncs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Cheers gguys, the chainsword was simply a cut at the wrist and a reposition. I like his pose but wish I'd used a more elaborate chest piece because he looks a little plain. Glad you like him though. I bought a JP Chaplain yesterday and my mate gave two of the masters of the chapter models, so I've got some fun ahead of me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 I thought I'd post these guys in here rather than setting up a new thread. They're me Space Hulk termies. I'm gonna order some 40mm bases and mount them so I can use them in my BA army. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT18501.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT18482.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1858.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1854.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT1819.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT18481.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
