Rosco151 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Some very nice work! You've given me some great ideas for what to do with my Razorback, and the use of the Devestator legs is excellent on the kneeling pose, uses a fairly static part to make a very dynamic model.

Sgt. Blank Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 These are great! Did you do anything to bulk them out? The assault marines look very imposing compared to the Eldar they are killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 No, nothing really major done to the marines; generally they're in fairly 'open' poses which makes them look a little larger, but comparitavely to the Eldar they're pretty chunky anyway.

Ariec Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Great Conversion... I like it very much... I noticed that you're not using gold rim for the shoulder pad... any particular reason? ... Sorry for the crappy english :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Great Conversion... I like it very much...I noticed that you're not using gold rim for the shoulder pad... any particular reason? ... Sorry for the crappy english :D The trim for the Ultramarines 2nd company can be either gold or yellow, as stated in C:SM. Ultramarines started with yellow trim on GW covers and what not, but sometime in 3rd IIRC they changed it over to gold. While the gold trim has become the most common trim color in player armies, there are plenty of Ultramarines players who still paint theirs as yellow. Â OT: That is a beautiful mini! I love that pose, it's just lovely. The painting is also very great as well. You've mentioned the meaty bitz will be getting a gloss finish, but do you plan on doing more with the blood on the sword? Also, I think the waist might benefit from a little bit of gore, not just gloss. Â Beautiful work! It's painters like you that show the Ultramarine's true potential as an army.

Rogan Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Sergeant is pretty much done, the meaty bit will be wet-look gloss when it's varnished. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines1/asssquad1/sgt_wip3.jpg   Sorry for doing this to you - but I'll have to copy that! Great idea and superb execution (no pun intended. Or... is it?)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 It's been frighteningly hot in my painting area over the past few days, so not too much to show; the assault squad is 90% done, should be finishing them over the next day or two. These are done and varnished.

winterdyne Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 ...and the assault squad is done. Really quite happy with these.  http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines1/asssquad1/squad_done1_1024.jpg  http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines1/asssquad1/squad_done2_1024.jpg  If anyone wants to see a particular marine, ask - I have individual photos of them all but don't feel like putting together a huge montage. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Scouts. Next week I should finish up the 'speeder storm and it's removable crew / swappable equipment.

winterdyne Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines1/scouts/speeder_ruined.jpg  Bugger.  That was *not* the word I said when this happened. 2 days work, not including cleanup/assembly pooched. Luckily GW will replace the purity seal and speeder, so it's just time cost really. But hey, still a pain to do all the conversion work again. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yep. Tried all the tricks I know - tamiya thinner to break up the varnish and disperse the frosty matting agent, glossing and revarnishing. No luck, so now it's being stripped. Hopefully it'll come clean enough to salvage, but still, it's a pain in the ass - varnish is kinda the one thing you want to rely on. I'm probably going to move back to using klear / tamiya flat base as a topcoat, just preferred the convenience of a rattlecan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Here's the speeder storm, finished:  Without guys on board - note the crate and binoculars - these plug holes that the scouts are pinned to the speeder with. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines1/speeder_storm/disembarked_1024.jpg  With guys on board: http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/ultramarines1/speeder_storm/embarked_1024.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
