the akratic Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Amazing! I love it. Please tell you you're going to have full tac sqauds of these old mofos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
araekyus Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Amazing!I love it. Please tell you you're going to have full tac sqauds of these old mofos! hehe...well, these are only going to become my Sgts for my MKVIII Tactical squads. I agonized for months on how to use them (i have about 8 total). The toss up was Sternguard, Terminator variants or Honor Guard. In the end, Sgt models won out simply because of scale and model armaments. Plus i couldnt bring myself to hack up these most awesome miniatures to suit Codex rules....

Pcm979 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'd love to see that model of armour done with modern levels of detailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argon Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Wow. Games Workshop has come a looooonnnng way since then. You know, I'm fairly sure you're the first person I know of that's done a Brotherhood of A Thousand mini, let alone an army. Kudos for that.

Reyner Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Nice not seen the Brotherhood of a Thousand for a long time, do you have a shot of him with a standard marine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That is a very very good!!!!! I really like the paint job, very smooth. Great free hand for the insignia! :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great free hand for the insignia! :woot: heh, well, the M symbol are homemade decals (from the B&C decal downloads) and generic Tac squad arrows from the 5 zillion GW sheets i own. I simply applied them and painted over them to blend into the paintjob. my hands are too shakey for that kind of work lol. also, i dont think any human can paint a perfect circle with a paintbrush :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That's one sweet mini! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solamus Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Always liked that model (and the one that came after it), that ones definitely got a paint job deserving of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I love these! Fantastic painting, you really bring out the charm of the old miniatures! (I have the old sergeant too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 peripheral vision must be a :P in that suit of armour! However I do have to say they have come miles...quite strange looking at how bad they once were! However I do admit it does have a charm and I do like it for some reason...don't know why, I joined in at 4th with a few collected pieces and 3rd ed codex of space marines (my land raider stoorworm, whirlwind Morag and my two oringal dreads come from the time of 3rd edition).

LokisSword Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Haha, sweet job there ;) I really like your idea for using them as Sgt.s for normal power armour squads! I have two of these guys, one with the banner pole intact and one without and I'd been contemplating what to do with them. Love the paint job on both the sgt and the normal marine - looking good. I'm contemplating *asting one of these models so I can make a Command squad out of these guys for my DW army. Think they'd look pretty sweet. Looking forward to seeing the other 7, do you think you'll be able to bring yourself to cutting a few up to repose them?

Thranquil Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I really like it! Also how have you painted them? I like that smokey dark grey/black look to the armour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Holy crap, very very nice ones... what about the other "regular" marine models? where are they from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Holy crap, very very nice ones... what about the other "regular" marine models? where are they from? old 3rd edition "errant" armour models, arms and should guards are plastic if i remember correctly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, LokisSword Haha..i dont think i can. :D the best ill do is variations in the arm positions and details like purity seals and whatnot. But we will see.

araekyus Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 I really like it! Also how have you painted them? I like that smokey dark grey/black look to the armour! i actually change the recipe and simplified the steps because of my painting time available. So here is the recipe: cleanup and dish soap bath primer/basecoat Duplicolor Sandable Primer Dark Grey overbrush of vallejo Model Color Blue Grey edged highlights in Adeptus Battlegrey and Astronomicon Grey from a wet palette eye base is mechrite red chest eagle and shoulder pad rims are Iyanden Darksun whole mini is then dunked into a container filled a mix of Future, Smokey Ink and the old Armour Wash, with a drop of blue ink. dry overnite spray down with Krylon Matt, let dry. Yellow highlights built up on top of the matte finish for the eagle and rims. eyes and gem are dotted with white then Fluo Orange. Bolter metal is done with boltgun metal and metal medium buildup. bolter casing, hoses and grilles done with the flattest black i can find. Decals applied and painted over to blend. Final varnish blast with Dullcoat. Mounted to custom made bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Holy crap, very very nice ones... what about the other "regular" marine models? where are they from? old 3rd edition "errant" armour models, arms and should guards are plastic if i remember correctly :) The arms are part of the model. It is all one piece. Though Sanguinary Guard arms look very much like Errant arms after a little modding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Nugz Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 As requested, side by side and group shots. Enjoy! Despite the fact that I despise almost all casts of marines before the current style I grudgingly admit that these marines are what SM should look like. Stocky and bull like.
