Master of the Red Corsairs


Styrofoam04

Recommended Posts

I’ve been working on my Red Corsairs for about over a year now. This is my first army and I have only about 900 pts painted (2100pts to go). I decided to post my finished models to keep me motivated. (I’m seeing red everywhere!)

 

Right now the only pics I have are of Huron. This was taken a year ago I have since then ‘updated his look. I will take pics of what I have done and take some of my finished works.

I have re taken the photo today and added close ups of his head

Mind you I played a few games with him and I've noticed a few chips. I'm kinda scared to coat them. What is the best way to do it? Which is the best to use?

These were my first marines i painted (and also my favorite)

I think I'm too rough with my models. my Champion's arm fell off and I noticed after taking this picture that I lost his finger as well :(

C&C welcome. More to come need to take more pictures

These next photos are of my Rhino. It is not complete and needs more detail on the outside, but right now it is on the back burner. More excited about getting other models on the board

 

C&C welcome and maybe a few Ideas thanks

These are shots of the interior. I'd like to do the astral claw symbol on the outside in red as well (backburner)

I tried to put empty shell casings but I don't think i got the colours right. I really like the hanging sack

Huron looks much better for the highlighting on his face in the 2nd set of pictures, I usually loathe that model everyt time I see it but I'm really liking it with your extra touches (e.g. the base).

 

Although it's subtle you're managed to introduce some dynanicism to the Termi's with the basing, they look much better for it. I've got that set and they really need something 'extra' when they're straight out of the box.

 

Great work, I hope to see more soon B)

Thanks everyone on the C&C. I running out of things to take pictures of

 

Next up is a defiler that i have mixed feeling about. I bought it on eBay for a good price w/ some other things. The description and the pictures all looked good. But when i received it, it was a mess! The defiler was broken in many places. the CC arm pins were completely broken off. The reaper autocannon was glued on backwards w/ the bullet magazines facing outward. Most of the blades were broken off and the claws were put together in odd position. on top of all that the glue that was used was the plastic glue so that the pieces were melted together

 

Well it took me a while to get it right. I had to re-pin the CC arm. Cut out the reaper autocannon and the claws very carefully and put it back together again

 

here is a pic

This is all I have painted so far. I have lots of plans and projects tho. Stay tuned!

  • 1 month later...

So I bought the Space Wolves Pack (which comes w/ 56 heads!) and I plan on using the 10 as Chosen (I need meltas!). The rest of the heads I would like to exchange for the bunny ears on my 40+ berzerkers.

 

So far the process is slow i have about 13 faces painted. The more I do the worse they get!

 

I'm also working on another rhino for the converted wolves, my 2nd defiler and a land raider.

 

As soon as I finish any of these I will take pics and post them.

 

 

 

these are looking really really sharp, the red is clean and bright and they're very tidy.

 

bases look great too, care to share how you've achieved the sand colour on top?

I followed the recipe on the GW site for PARCHED DESERT PLAINS

Then I used MIG weathering pigments on top

Next up is my 2nd defiler. I had problems with this on too. I bought this one and another one(not built yet) for about $20 for both. He had done some heavy conversions to both. The body parts where the legs attach to was cut in half to make two 4 legged walking gun platform. Alot of the detail pieces like the the back of the top body cut into pieces(lucky for me he kept all the pieces and his cuts were very clean). So lets just say it took me a while to get Humpty Dumpty back together again (and alot of green stuff). Even if you were to look closely you wouldn't notice the difference

 

This model unlike that last one all the parts move or rotate. The Heavy flamer is magnetized to switch for the DCCW or a Havac Launcher(both of which are not completed)

WOW! I haven't posted here for years. I've been busy with my Red Corsairs; many games, alot of painting, but I just haven't really finished many models. If you like my work and would like to see more or follow my WIP see: Lord of the Maelstrom - A Red Corsairs WIP Blog

In the meantime here is a finished model

Some motivation on my WIP blog might help to finish more models msn-wink.gif
