Thantoes Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Got bored and did a rummage through the old bits box and came across enough bits to make up a squad of marines. Decided to do a little something different to my normal Ultramarines. Went with doing a squad for the Kill Team mission out of the Battlemissions book but had each member from a different codex chapter. Was fun to stretch myself a little with different colour combinations, the use of white basecoats and white paint jobs etc. Even did a couple of Chapter badges freehand which was interesting. A Soul Drinker sergeant and Imperial Fist A Son of Orar and Black Consul Eagle Warrior and Salamander White Scar and Mortifactor Howling Griffin and Iron Snake - Howling Griffin is the only guy I couldnt find a decal or freehand a chapter badge for. I will try and sort something out at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Mate they are awesome!!!!!!!! I once had an idea to paint as many different chapters as I could but haven't the paint skills nor free hand expertise to do so but yours look totally awesome!!!! Love the IF and the Mortificator!

pattison Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 First of all they are really really nice! Your IF is cool too. I particularly like the Iron Snake guy and how you executed his buzz cut hairstyle. Howling Griffon decals (by Tubal) can be found in the downloads area: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...amp;showfile=48 One slightly off-topic question: do you have any tips on what transfer material to use for these (what to print them on) and where can I get some from? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that I need a single decal and the cost to produce a decal sheet just does not justify it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaroph Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thantoes they look beautiful man. Congrats! I am intrigued by the chalice of the Soul Drinker. Is it green stuff man? It is very beautiful. Might i ask how you did it and maybe crawl to the ground and beg for a tutorial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could claim credit but its not greenstuff, its from the Blood Angels Sanguinary guard kit (maybe the death company too, not sure) http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/sanguinary-gu...d-f-p-5941.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Normish Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Very nice. I like the Imperial Fist out of affiliation, and I like the White Scar because of the cleanliness of the white. What I would have done is put some thin black lines around the edges of things like the helmet crest or face um... things. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of "Battle Missions" for some time now. Oh, and surely the Black Consuls are recorded as exterminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and surely the Black Consuls are recorded as exterminated? I didnt do the black lines as I find that they make too hard a contrast. The white is far more defined in real life. I used a flash on the models which has blended the white together. As to the Black Consuls. They are believed to have been destroyed but thier actual status is unknown. I would have been rather more concerened with the Soul Drinker as they are renegades. However this is all easily managed by stating that this squad is pre 455.M41 which is when the Consuls where destroyed and far before the Drinkers went renegade.

Lord Solcia Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The Iron Snake is my favorite. But they are all pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believed I missed that Soul Drinker. The purple must blur my vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall_Brant Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I like the Soul Drinker the most. Simply because his pose and over all look reminds me of one of the Soul Drinker book covers. But the Marine on that particular cover had a chainsword. Overall nice work. Like the others a very clean white you've got going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Nugz Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 These are very cool. Why? 1. I haven't seen a Soul Drinker in years! (no one seems to like purple!?) 2. I've always wanted to do a mixed squad but the Lord knows I'd start an army out of each one. Good job and good luck with the Sternguard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 The Soul Drinker is also my favourite. The cover to Hellforged was my inspiration. After that comes the Black Consul and Morticator. I just love those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thantoes Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Ok, its not 100% but its far better than nothing. I have sourced a SW decal and modified it a bit to sorta look right for the Howling Griffin. The whole squad now has chapter markings :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
