SquiggleAmp Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Recentley I have been asked by my friend to look at several chapters for him to collect. I decided to paint some examples for him to look at and see what is good for him. before I reveal them I wanted to throw some WIP shots out there to get some C and C. as always cheers.

tiny sam Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 the imperial fist is awesome. but they're somthing I can't put my finger on on the Silver Skull. may be the metalic hight light Good job on those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Good stuff so far. Do you plan on doing any more chapters? And are you or your friend going to painting them? If you're doing the work, he owes you big time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorsaxe Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 While I like both the paint on the silver skull and the IF marines. My only crit is the mold lines, while I know that these are only examples the mold lines should be trimmed off. Other than that nice work on the schemes. Just mt two bolter rounds worth tho'.

Warsmith Aznable Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Executioners http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010065.jpg I've never seen this chapter before. The scheme looks like some of the strange naval camouflage they tried in WWI. These minis are well above my ability to critique, they are all so nice. One thing you haven't said is what skill level your friend has with paints. As a beginner I have trouble with certain colors, yellow being one of them. I committed myself to painting an entire army of minis with Citadel Blazing Orange, which is another color that I have trouble with. That would make a difference with which scheme to choose, I think. My army is crawling along, where if I had chosen a scheme like the Silver Skulls I could probably do twice as many minis a session because the silver colors just fly off my brush. Just something to think about, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talhydras Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I admire the Executioners-Marine... I've never seen a painted one before, maybe you should encourage him to paint them? As far as I know, he would be the only one to have an Executioners-army... and with the Badab-War coming up at FW, it makes sense, too :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarasinCreed Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I really like how you have painted the models and like the first sceme the most just based on the quality of painting. But i have to disagree with the recomending of using the executioners sceme it kind of looks like hes been made out of candy. IMHO Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquiggleAmp Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Cheers for the kind comments as i said these are works in progress, I plan on doing a few to start with whatever army he choses, then with a monkey see monkey do technique and leave it to him to finish. I'm not feeling the love for the Executioner but he may chose it so I'll put a bit more effort in to finish it off. He has asked for examples of Mantis Warriors, Marines Errant, Storm Lords and Emperors Spears, I think they are light blue. so I will get them painted and posted at the earliest convienience, once he has chosen i will get some snaps and post them up to see what the Power Armour world thinks. Cheers. @ max - He is a painter of a fair standard and will probabley pick something he finds easy to paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaShadow Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 My vote is definately on the Laminators! I don't think I've ever seen anyone paint them and they're a areally simple and interesting scheme! Well done for getting all those different ones done too! It' on my to do list to have a man painted from all '20' Primarched chapters, however so far I only have 2 done :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 You mean all 18 Primarch chapters. Unless, of course, you just put an unbased base for the two lost legions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquiggleAmp Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 just trying out some schemes the mold lines can be removed by my friend when he choses what he want to do! I am mearly a servant in his decisions :) , i agree he will be told to get rid of them, but it his choice and when the army he choses is posted up i will relay your kind judgements :D update Lamentorhttp://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010074.jpg Executioner http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010076.jpg http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010075.jpg From an old White Dwarf http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/executioners.jpg Müller Posted Today, 08:48 AM That don't matter IMO :huh: http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/GreyHunterSquad003.jpg :huh: i agree!!!

Brother Kovash Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I'm voting for the Lamenters, because I hope to one day do a successor chapter using similar yellow scheme. And it's good to know your friend will be taking over for you, I've had two people ask me to "make" them an army, and I have yet to field a fully painted army myself!

Octavulg Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The more I see the Executioners, the more I like them. Though Tiger Raja's warning about stripes always holds true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Go with the Executioner. That scheme is way too rare and actually looks pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I vote Lamenters. That is a great paint job. The Executioner just doesn't look quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 I agree with Lamenters. In my opinion the Executioners colour scheme is downright ugly. Your painting is great, but the scheme is just :P. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquiggleAmp Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 cheers gents this is exactly why i did this. All comments appreciated, however there are still four more to come, Mantis Warriors, stormlords, Emperors Spears and the Marines Errant. Mantis Warrior is assembled and awaiting basecoat and Marines Errant is assembled. As ever thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scathainn Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 SPACE SHARKS! It combines the best elements of upcoming FW love, Badab War fluff, and Rogue Trader silliness! Do it! DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquiggleAmp Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 i thought they have changed now and have been removed from the fluff and replaced by a watered down copy!!!, I'll see if he is interested as he has dropped the Storm Lords and Emperors Spears and is having a look through the fluff to find another few he likes the look of. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquiggleAmp Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 hello all, As promised. these are WIP. Mantis Warrior http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010090.jpg Marines Errant http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010089.jpg You choose, http://i738.photobucket.com/albums/xx27/squiggleamp/P1010091.jpg I thought I would offer the B&C posse the chance to choose what I would present as a wild card option to my friend. the floor is yours.
