Killian Doyle Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Well, here I was with a brand new idea for a chapter and a dislike of vanilla marines since they didn't fit in the assault theme I wanted for my chapter (lots of jump packs and drop pods, in your face style of playing) Then the BA codex came out and I was a very happy camper. Without further ado I present to you Captain Garibaldi of the Third company of The Crucible and two jump guys. Short of the chapter symbol (which is a grail) they're pretty much done. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Marines1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Marine2.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Marine1.jpg C&C more than welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somar Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 very nice looking bunch. very elaborate scheme, i would go nuts trying to do an army like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 very nice paint job :lol: Look forward to seeing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNONE Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I like the checks - they contrast well with the red, give a bit more to look at and make each marine more of an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Doyle Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks guys! I'm glad you like them. Somar: Not that hard to paint checkers once you get the hang of it Blindhamster: I'm currently building/gluing/converting, but a can of Army painter's Dragon Red Primer is on its way, so it won't be long... Mnone: Cheers mate, that was exactly what I wanted, hate the "clone marines" each is supposed to be a hero of the imperium, with individual heraldry and custom armor, and yet, they look almost exactly the same. Well, there's not a single marine who looks like the next in my army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Doyle Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Small update here, just a quick conversion. I used the base piece of the Hunter-killer missile, and a pendant of the Crux Terminatus to make a thunder hammer head. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/IMG_4413.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/IMG_4412.jpg A cookie goes to the user who recognises the arm.

ephrael Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 They look fantastic and individual so far. How did you make the marine on the left's shoulder pad? It looks like putty with straight lines scored in it then some sort of rivets glued on. It looks really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Force rod from the first Daemonhunter Terminator? Cool old hooded mini ^_^ Your figures look great! I especially like the Chaplain – clean and unfussy paintwork, with neat freehand chequers and based on a cool selection of additional bits on the base model.

Killian Doyle Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks guys! I'm glad you like them. Bigger than Jesus: Yep, but cookie goes to apologist, he´s been more specific Mikhail: Actually, I can't take credit for the shoulderpad, a friend of mine designed it and casts them in resin, the helmet on that same marine is also one of his pieces, are they cool or what? Apologist: Cookie for you, sir! And yeah, I wasn't feeling like filing or puttying for that one, and I too think it has come along nicely only by sticking things together...

ephrael Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Is your friend selling those parts or making them for himself? I'd like to get some of those shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killian Doyle Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 My Vindicator in process, it's being a pain in the power armor pants to get finished (first tank ever!): http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Vindicator2.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Vindicator1.jpg Comments, criticism, questions and mild abuse all welcome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replica Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Wow, what a fantastic looking army! Love what you've come up with! I reckon you should have more checkers or white parts on the top of the Vindicator to break up the red, but it is a really, really nice red, i really dig it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Doyle Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Thanks, Replica, I didn't want it to look too busy, besides, metallics were not painted when I took those pics. Speaking of which, you can find the finished tank in the Hall of Honor section! Thanks for watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Doyle Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 First Death Company marine for my army, lacking jump pack at the moment, I was going to paint them white, then I realised my terminators were already white and it would get confusing, so I went for the usual black. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao2.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao3.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao4.jpg C&C welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNONE Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Very nice, I like the little splashes of white next to the red and black. The black itself has a sort of bluish grey quality which makes him more distinct from standard BA death companies, is that on the model, or is it a result of the camera? 'Cause I quite like it. The vindicator is good, and the battle damage is very realistic. But it looks a little less individual than the infantry. Is there some way you could add little touches, like badges and marks of honour added by the crew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Doyle Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Lacking basing and backpacks, but otherwise they're done: http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Tactical2.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Tactical1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao4-1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao2-1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao3-1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiao1.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/detectivewayne/Enrabiaodetail.jpg @ MNONE: The black is indeed bluish-grey, it's not the pictures, I usually feel that painting something pure black tends to make it flat and boring. Recipe, in case anyone is interested is: Base: 1:2 Vallejo Black+Foundation Charadon Granite First highlight: Add Fenris Grey Second highlight: Add Astronomican Grey Edge Highlight With pure Astronomican and pure White on the most prominent edges. Tone it down with Vallejo Violet Shadows with light washes of pure black The tanks are indeed less personalised than the infantry, but, as said above, they were my first ones and I got pretty bored of painting them by the end, I promise next ones will be more detailed in terms of insignia and the like.

Mr.Millar Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Fantastic looking mini's mate, I love the personal heraldry and the resin parts, nice smooth shading too. However I have one niggle. A few of those heads look like straight recasts to me (I could be wrong) so if I was you, for the love of the emperor don't tell anyone your friends name because in GW's eyes, recasting is a serious copyright infringement. Mind you, I'd kill for 30 of those Templar style helms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killian Doyle Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks Mr Millar. And nope, no recasts, only original designs, I understand it might look otherwise, since the templar helmet is very close to the one in the templar sprue, but it's a cast from my friend's original GS work.
