Well it's been a while since I made any updates on this...anyway...first project consisting of a Command Squad, two Tactical Squads and a Devastator Squad has been completed, as has project 2, consisting of two more Tactical Squads.

 

Next up are elements of the !st Co., namely 6 Termie squads, a vanguard squad and a counts-as Lysander...

 

Here's the Vanguard WIP

Here they are - all done - just a shame I had to use my Blackberry camera - the yellow hasn't come out very well! I'll go back and tidy up the bases later on...

That banner looks so coool

 

you obviously are amazing at painting yellow and other bright colours, my only criticism is that your black armour seems to be much flatter and less detailed.

of course that may just be the pictures but thats the only conceivable thing that you can appear to improve on :lol:

Thanks for your kind words...the black is a mixture - firstly, the camera doesn't show it off too well (same for the yellow really) and secondly, I've tried to keep it muted and not as 'extreme' as I would normally...so there is just a quick grey highlight on it...

OK here we go with this weekends trials and tribulations!!

 

First up is Captain Gaius of the 1st Company, who is a Lysander 'Counts As.'

Next is Sergeant Caio of the 1st Company:

And Squad Caio:

I've tried to make the black 'pop' a little bit as per previous comments, and I'm happy with it in real life...these photos are a bit raw so it may not be too visual...I love the terminator sergeant, and really like the back banner...if only I could keep him lol!!

Wow these yellows are amazing!

I super-mega love the Vanguard, not just because they're painted well and are the Red Scorps pieces, but because they all have their own character. Where did you get that awesome Thunderhammer? I know that GW sells the PA set, but yours is so different. Its awesome.

And your Lysander count as is great. I'll be doing that in a few days as well. Awesome.

Here's the next bunch of Malevolents. I've gone for a gritty, been in the field, speed freak look for these bikes and speeders. They are slightly out of keeping with the rest of the army, but they look pretty neat in real life...

Here are the latest Marines Malevolent:

Squad Ianto:

As I have so many terminators to paint (another 15 to make 30 altogether), I came up with copying the sergeants banner design onto the top rectangle of each terminator. I thought it was a good idea and the client likes it too:

 

Squad Markings:

The yellow has been an evolving technique, but basically goes as follows:

 

Iyanden dark sun over White undercoat

 

Sepia wash in the recesses

 

Re-touch the yellow

 

Go over the yellow with a 2:1 mix of golden yellow and iyanden dark sun

 

Add White to the above mix to highlight

 

Hope that helps :(

GLD.......what can i say but top shelf stuff Mate!!!

Been away from the scene for a while.....[my motorbikes].....and just starting to think about getting my Boys [Malevolents] up and running again!!

Seeing your Malevolents has just kick started me into action again!!

:blush:
