The_Minsk Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 well with the new forgeworld stuff I though I would have a go a building some red scorpion stuff, start it off small and we shall see how it goes. First up the WIP tactical squad. still plenty to do on these and the photos are a little grainy but you get the idea. http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/002-2.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/007-2.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/008-4.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/010-3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Minsk Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Wow brother minsk these are brilliant .

Youre models once again are brilliant and i love the mixture of different armour marks very nicely done May i ask you're painting colours as they look very clean yet simple and spot on colour scheme Thanks very much, yours and the others in the red scorpion thread are a great insperation Firist of all I spray the models in a humbrol grey spray, sea grey I think its called, Then the actual colours used are all mixed using games workshop paints. The grey is just codex grey with black added to it, and the yellow is a mix of snakebite brown and sunburst yellow. Hope that helps Regarding the armour types im not certain if I have few too many in this squad, what do people think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 No i dont think u have a few to many its nice to see all those different armour marks they look brilliant makes it look less uniform and more lik a mix of veterans from countless wars and new recruits works rally well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Minsk Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Time for a bit of an update, still some work to do on these but, Im pretty happy with them, look much better with bolters and back packs I hope you agree. I still have some touch ups and ant to do a little wear and tear on them http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/003-1.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/004-2.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/005-2.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/006-3.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/007-3.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/008-5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I like, I like. i love the pose and use of the scout HB on the HB marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Minsk Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks guys, I used the scout heavy bolter because originally death watch squads used to be able to have one that wast assault 3 I think rather than heavy 3, I thought for a tactical squad it made sense using a lighter looking model since they will be moving around more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Great work so far. I, as well as most ppl here, love the HB-conversion. Makes perfect sense! - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I agree the heavy bolter looks awesome and the mix of armour marks really works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Minsk Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys, all very kind, what do people think about the yellow stripes on the boltguns,(not certain you can really see them in the photos) im not certain about them, they look ok on the never pattern bolters, but the older ones im not so sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 The yellow on the bolt guns looks good it ties it all in . you sir have encouraged / convinced me to buy the mark V heresy armour to build my kill team with the phobos pattern bolters i shouldn't as i cant afford it but they look so sweet i just got to have some its only a 10 man unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Minsk Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 The forgeworld heresy armour is possibly my favorite, very detailed, all the bolgun variants are very good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Excellent use of bits and painting to match! Looking foreward in seeing more. Vandael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Minsk Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Ok everyone I need some advice, I cant decide which head to use on my captain, what do you all think? first up we have stoic looking face, maybe a bit bland, I quite like it though http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/006-4.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/002-3.jpg second we have a raven guard seargent head, quite scarred, though to me it looks a little sad, possibly my least favorite http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/007-4.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/008-6.jpg and lastly we have captain korvydae's head, this is a great head loads of detail, though it might be a bit large, as captain korvydae is massive compared to a normal space marine http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/009-2.jpg http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg16/The_Minsk/010-4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Hungry Monkey Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Definatly use Korvydae' head. Really adds so much more feeling to an already dinamic miniature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Yeah, I'd go for the last head as well. Really gets him into that screaming-charge feel. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'll third that. Korvydae' s head is perfect. Just shave the bottom of the neck to bring the head closer to the armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tharand Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'll also vote Korvydae's head. It has a lot of character which I think will make the captain model really pop. I must say that I really enjoy your mix of armour marks for the squad. It really breaks them up and makes the squad look more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argyle Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Going with Korvydae as well, and in fact I think I'll have to order that model to make use of it myself. Would be the perfect fit for my Marshal. Also agree with the above, just knock a mil or two off the bottom of the neck and it'll be a perfect fit.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Definitely Korvydae, just chop off some neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Korvydae the other heads just dont look right and the metal head is to small . If youre doing a bare head are you going to have his helmet attached to his thigh or on the ground damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Minsk Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well I think that was pretty unamous(or however that word is spelt). I have one more head to try, calgars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
