CosmicCreations Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I can't keep still on one project! Hello all, the forgeworld Novamarine is still ongoing don't worry, but I've moved on to something else as well. My old Army Restoration threat is somewhat obsolete, as the mini's I painted in it have now been stripped AGAIN and are going to be the basis of my Novamarine army. I've been in the garden all morning and have managed to strip down and undercoat 3 squads of Tactical Marines ;) They were all old ones lying about and now they have new life, so heres the squads... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/STP66058.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/STP66061.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/STP66066.jpg Anotehr update soon Daniel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198033-novamarines-madness/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I love the Nova Marines color scheme and your painting certainly does it justice. I'll be following this thread with interest too.

CosmicCreations Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Thankyou Mikhail, well a slow start I admit there wasn't much to comment on, so heres some more! I've been stripping more paint and have rounded up some more troops so far for these Novamarines I have... 9 Man Tactical Squad - x2 7 Man Devastator Squad 7 Man Scout Squad Bike - x4 Rhino Dreadnought - x3 The start of a vanguard squad http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0642.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0645.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0646.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0647.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0648.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0649.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0650.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0651.jpg http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0657.jpg Whilst they're all undercoated I've only started painting one sergeant, he's still early on too. I do have a few questions I would like cleared up though. 1) How many heavy weapons is a devastator squad allowed? 2) Can a Tactical squad have at least one heavy bolter or something?

Lucifer Fellblade Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 1) How many heavy weapons is a devastator squad allowed?2) Can a Tactical squad have at least one heavy bolter or something? 1) 4. 2) Yes, a single heavy bolter. Your painting is great, these will look brill when they're completed.

T0MMY Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Its worth noting a tac squad can only have a heavy and/or special weapon if it numbers 10 men, assuming you're following the codex. So a 9 man squad can only have bolters (+ segeant weps). Dev squad can have up to 4 heavy weapons and between 5 and 10 men. Love the nove marines paint scheme - looking forward to seeing more.

RogueTrooper Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Nice to see more brothers inhabiting the boards :P Never been much of a fan of SM bikes but yours are looking good, the painting is great though i think on a personal level that the blue is too bright. They look very similar to the Sons of Guilliman rather than Novamarines. I'm painting a Vet Sgt just now, he needs a squad though, and they'll need an army :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198033-novamarines-madness/#findComment-2361243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a 9 man squad can only have bolters (+ segeant weps). Don't worry they only have 9 at the moment but thats why I asked, I have a few Heavy Bolter marines spare so once I add them they'll be fine :) RogueTrooper Posted Today, 12:24 AM Nice to see more brothers inhabiting the boards smile.gif Never been much of a fan of SM bikes but yours are looking good, the painting is great though i think on a personal level that the blue is too bright.

I'm painting a Vet Sgt just now, he needs a squad though, and they'll need an army biggrin.gif The blue does look a little bright in the photos but it is a little darker in reality. I'd like to see the Vet when he's done :) The sergeant is almost finished and started on one of the tac squads, updates later Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198033-novamarines-madness/#findComment-2361737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 double post, please excuse... the sergeant is almost there, just a bit of neatening up, and as you can see....I buggered up the start of the banner design ;) so that will be washed over and completed soon.. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/STP66069.jpg now I need some suggestions... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/STP66074.jpg the paint scheme for the motorbikes themselves, obviously the marine will be in the quartered Novamarine colours, but do you think I should quarter the bike? or do it in half? any suggestions would be grateful Daniel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198033-novamarines-madness/#findComment-2361953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Nice work so far, the Novamarines scheme is simple yet works very well. Keep the pics coming. Also, what did you use to strip the paint. I've got an army of Tau sitting in a box with the ugly Tau sept colors on it, and I would love to try something new with them.

CosmicCreations Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks Kovash.. as to the stripping medium I used Acetone free nail varnish remover. Very good stuff, leave the mini in it for about 2 mins and then the paint comes straight off with an old toothbrush :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198033-novamarines-madness/#findComment-2362622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tharand Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Cosmic- I've followed your other threads and just picked up this one. Your bleached bone is really great and one of the crisp I've seen.

CosmicCreations Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Good morning everyone, Instead of doing my homework and coursework I've been up early and been priming and painting once again.. http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0678.jpg As you can see the Sergeant is almost done, but also as you can see I have cocked up his banner freehand tremendously, I can do a lot better than that trust me so he will recieve a new banner when I can. And here is the start of the first marine... http://i357.photobucket.com/albums/oo11/Cosmic_Castaway2157/chapter%20master/Photo0682.jpg And now for some question asking as well as answering :P Cosmic- I've followed your other threads and just picked up this one. Your bleached bone is really great and one of the crisp I've seen. I would love to know your secret because I'm really jealous of it! Thank you Tharand, the bleached bone recipe is as follows... 1) Black undercoat 2) Bestial Brown layer 3) 2 or 3 thinned layers of Kommando Khaki, being careful to leave brown in the recesses 4) 1 or 2 thinned layers of Bleached bone 5) first highlight of bleached bone and skull white, I don't do ratios but I would say about a 1:1 6) final highlight of skull white, only very little though! hope that helps :) I am still stuck on what to do for the motorbikes, quartered scheme? or just halved or something, if anyone has any bikes with a quartered colour scheme I would appreciate looking at them.

RogueTrooper Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Coming along nicely, dont worry about the banner though. You could use the space marine decals as a base for the chapter symbol, i'm sure there are some skull decals which leaves you to paint the halo. A tip for painting the halo could be that you paint a cross onto the surface first, then apply a skull decal to the centre. Then enlarge the tips of the cross into triangles. you could include diagonal lines to the cross aswell. Abit complicated but my force will be small and compact so i can afford to take the time. OR You can have a look a the B&C printable decal sheets, i think they have Novamarines. ;) As for my force, well i just recieved the start of my Novamarine BFG fleet. I surely will post a pic or two in the near future so have no fear.

Thanks for the suggestion, I had thought about those decals actually, I think for the time being I'll just stick to the freehand, like I said, I can do a lot better than whats already on the banner, I was just having an off day haha ah thats good to hear, my fear is gone :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/198033-novamarines-madness/#findComment-2364159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherMoses Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Great looking models son of Guilliman. Your paintjob is excellent. I'm going to keep watching this thread to see how well you can freehand the novamarines chapter symbol(haloed skull). I have chosen that symbol as the personal heraldry of my Blood Angels captain and would love to see how you do it.
