Rider's True Scale Dabblings.

Recommended Posts

Not much progress tonight or last night. Teething toddler and other domestic joys hampering time as per usual... :lol:

Got the blue finished bar the final highlight which I'll do at the very end after finishing up everything else and tidying up. All non blue parts were then given a thin coat of black to help them stand off the blue on painting. The metal work has also been base coated with BG metal and washed with badab black.

 

Next up is to highlight the metalwork then start on the face.

 

Need to make some decisions on shoulder and helmet colours though.

 

As a captain, is he also a veteran and a such wear white helm and white shoulders? Or does that all go out the window at that rank?

 

Advice please as I appear to have lost the C:SM book I bought to do this project back when I decided to go UM and not BT... ;)

So I actually managed to get some paint laid down on the captain tonight.

 

Sooooo long since I've painted faces I'm not particularly happy with it.

Same goes with the tabard at the from - though I plan to decorate it somewhat do that should hopefully cover up some of the shoddy painting on display.

Progress. Just wee bits to do then the base.

I think I've finished the Captain. I may add a back banner which I'm in the progress of painting, but it depends how well the NMM gold on the cloth turns out...

 

Anyway, here he is:

Thanks DAT :(

 

Hopefully the next 2 marines will be somewhat quicker to paint now I have the basic colour sorted and there's less detail to work on.

 

On saying that I'm also tryin to fit in a few commission pieces and demo bits, so my own stuff is coming second. I've also got my Grey knights to start on too..... So much hobby, so little time!! Aaaaarrrrgggghh!!

Well after Apologist and Doghouse returned the fray with their true/artscale marines, I was drawn back to my Minotaurs as a truescale effort - i'm sticking with regular HH Ultras and keeping these as the artscale:

One is all done (see Hall of Honour link - or indeed the post above), 2 are assembled but need detailing, 5 are in early stages. That's 8. I was only going to do 5, but I've now secured two more pairs of tartaros legs to bring the squad up to 10 smile.png

Thanks go again to Apologist for inspiration on getting my arse in gear and getting some more done on these. They'll still be dribs and drabs if progress rather than full on progress, as I have to fit them around 15 imperial fists....
