Logaan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Well, bar a bit of tidying up of a tactical squad and adding some insignia etc, I've hit the 1000 points fully painted. This is the first full Marine force I've painted in 10 years. I managed to break both my arms back at the start of the year so just being able to paint again is something I've greatly enjoyed. These are pics of my Terminator Assault squad, tactical squad and Iron Dreadnought. I'll post the rest of the force later this week. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10483.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10485.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10487.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10489.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10491.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10493.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10496.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10500.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10502.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10504.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10506.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v518/logaan/SDC10508.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194852-the-emperors-light-1000pts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaroph Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Interesting blue my friend! What color is it? I am sorry about your arms! I cant even imagine how you felt! It's every hobbyist's nightmare.

Logaan Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 Cheers, something like that makes you appreciate the hobby that little bit more. The blue is Vallejo dark over a black undercoat, blue and black magic wash, then highlighted.

Talhydras Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 very nice! but a terminator assault squad, an ironclad, a tac squad and a spare sergeant don't add up to 1000 points, do they? how about a group shot? :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194852-the-emperors-light-1000pts/#findComment-2318971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCrawford Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Excellent, crisp paint job. A tiny bit flat on the highlights, but overall astounding work and nice brush control!

Donkeycow Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 wow, outstanding blue you have there. very crisp and clean looking models, doesn't seem to be any paint out of place! but i gotta ask, how did you manage to break both your arms? was it due to some horrible "trap"?

IronDuke Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 but i gotta ask, how did you manage to break both your arms? was it due to some horrible "trap"? Haha, that is a terrible joke...yet I still laughed. As for the Marines, I can only echo what everyone else is saying in that the blue is fantastic. Yet, I feel they are lacking something. I think they need a little bit of something, to break up the blue. The tac marines with the white helmets are my favourite, the white helmet and knee pads does just this, and I feel that the termies could really benefit from having a little bit of white somewhere on them as well. Hopefully we will see many more of these dudes however, ID Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194852-the-emperors-light-1000pts/#findComment-2319743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logaan Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Cheers for the input guys, much appreciated. Taking the white idea on board to brea up the whole bluiness ( I think I just made the word up) but I'm gonna definitely look at that The arms........jeez, not a good peroid. We had a cold snap at the start of the year, I slipped on icy cobbles walking to work, fractured both radial heads in my arms, net result was one arm in a cast, the other just left to heal. I actually painted the Ironclad four days after my cast came off I was so eager to get painting again!

Logaan Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Talk about reviving a thread from the depths.....! Finally got round to adding to my Marine army. These chaps have been sat on my desk for close on two years but have eventually finished them. http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae83/Logaan78/SDC10738.jpg http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae83/Logaan78/SDC10744.jpg http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae83/Logaan78/SDC10740.jpg http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae83/Logaan78/SDC10742.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/194852-the-emperors-light-1000pts/#findComment-2741452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
