The Unhappy Sasquatch Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have entered the LPC with the challenge of painting a full tactical squad. So here we are with the first of at least 2 WIPs. This is my favourite posed marine. Marine reloading Front shot of my heavy bolter. Back shot of the heavy bolter showing his 'gator skin gun pouch and gem skull. Kneeling marine marine shooting his pistol. Showing his personal heraldry, which is a bone coloured dagger and sword. His bolter and bolt pistol have bone covers. Everyone else is going to get personal heraldry or in fact have already. I haven't finished most of them so ignore unpainted bits and parts that i'm going to touch up. Thats all for now. The Unhappy Sasquatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Wow very nice poses there, and I love the Heavy Bolter! It has a nice length to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Wow, I really like these guys. The colour scheme is great and the heraldry really makes each one stand out as an individual. The marine with the raised leg does look great. Looking forward to see the rest! Cheers, ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unhappy Sasquatch Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Wow i didn't realise the pictures were so big. I'll crop the next lot so they're not so big. Thanks guys!! Yeah i wanted to do personal heraldry because i thought that each marine would have fought in different wars and campaigns. I started painting the inside of my landraider although its not for the LPC. I'll add pictures of it and another tactical marine i've done some work on maybe tomorrow.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Are the kneeling Marine and the Marine at the top cut-n-sculpt re-poses? It looks like the one on top is made from Chaos Marine legs and putty, and I can't quite tell with the kneeling one from the angle of the picture. Good work on the heraldry, from what I can see of it. I'll say that maybe your next bunch of photos should be taken from a spot without a window or light source behind the models, will definitely make some of the details easier to see.

The Unhappy Sasquatch Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah they're cut-n-sculpt re-poses. The top one is from chaos legs that i had lying around, and the kneeling are normal marine legs, but the ones without knee pads. The conversion work is a bit rough though. Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely take the next photos away from the window. and i'll take some pictures of the heraldry because i'm pretty happy with them all. What do you guys think about the eye colour? Its not finished but i'm not really happy with the choice of colour because there is no other green on some of the models. I think it looks a little odd.

The Unhappy Sasquatch Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 2nd of at least 2 WIPs. This is another marine that i've been working on. not finished and nothing fancy. I thought i'd post a pic of an old objective marker that i was pretty happy with. The banner, which is a picture of tyreal from Diablo II but in power armour. I am taking the pictures with my sisters macro camera which makes some parts a bit fuzzy. I'll try next time with different lenses.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 The green eye lenses look fine to me, very complementary. Your new photos show off your metallics very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
