MrBlack Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Since my motivation has been lacking, I figure a blog about my painting exploits here (outside my standard one) will be better in getting me to actually paint these guys, rather than jump around army-to-army painting bits and pieces. Here is what has been done thus far: An early initial test marine (only change has been in the highlighting color) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TFTnpVCrZvI/AAAAAAAAAUE/IzPAS_JTc08/s1600/marine4.jpeg A Sergeant http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TFTncm0tt9I/AAAAAAAAATs/kqUnHXf7hU8/s1600/marine1.jpeg And a Librarian, who I feel I rushed a bit on, but I'll fix him up later... http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TFTnrvj5oTI/AAAAAAAAAUM/oXuk8o5Nz3E/s1600/libby1.jpeg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TFTnuQZzqPI/AAAAAAAAAUU/zrMwvMr2dWc/s1600/libby2.jpeg These were taken a while ago, before I finished my Light Box, so sorry for the quality. This evening I shall also put up some pictures of a completed Sternguard Squad. Current Project: Vanguard Squad with Jump Packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasmus of Baal Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Both are looking great, especially the green power/force weapons! Can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Riken* Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 They look great, I'm also liking those green Power Weapons. Seeing these might force me to paint the rest of BA into AS right now its half and half lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulley Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Ditto above, both looking great. If I have to find a flaw - the libby's green force weapon doesnt quite work just because of the blue on the model - but its excellently painted none-the-less - I think a purple may be a better colour - but then again I am terrible at colour matching, I only know when it doesnt work when I see it myself lol. Looking forward to some complete squads! Keep us updated. Just had a closer look at that libby - excellent blending on the armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranwulf Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Interesting, I did not like the Libby however. It's the blue mostly. I REALLY dislike Librarians being blue, instead of their Chapter colors. Mostly the Sgts. look awesome. Ran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbb Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The first two models are great!! Well done. I like certain things about the Librarian. The blue is cool and so is the robe. However, I personally think that it is the red shoulder pads and trim around the wings that throws everything off. You have too many colors going on... bright blue, white, neon green, gold, and red! Something's bound to clash! Keep up the good work and post some more pictures when you have some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Here are some quick updates, still don't have access to my light box so working with what I have. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxw72fZNI/AAAAAAAAAbA/9Wy7FSFUX7g/s1600/duo.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxx2rIPJI/AAAAAAAAAbE/0nWm9--wLo0/s1600/hooha.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxrR3p49I/AAAAAAAAAaw/1suxitJpOvE/s1600/solo.jpg This next poor fellow was my favorite out of the whole lot, but a friend with two-left-hands and seemingly an inability to properly hold things broke his claw... I will be working on ways to fix this...sigh... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxszwuGCI/AAAAAAAAAa0/sgXHmUVBYFY/s1600/1.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxulnLjII/AAAAAAAAAa4/sot4zT0_VQI/s1600/2.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxvmNYcsI/AAAAAAAAAa8/NHr2pzGpPWg/s1600/3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Mephiston done as well... Not using any "counts as" with this army since the Blood Angels work so closely with their successor chapters. Plus I don't like the idea of multiple personalities with the same powers as Mephiston/Corbulo/Dante/etc. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmxzI0iHiI/AAAAAAAAAbI/I7_cuC3TcmE/s1600/mep.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmx0Rj3GzI/AAAAAAAAAbM/v-JK7RAd_wk/s1600/mep2%27.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmx0-upXeI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/J9qxr7ol3EA/s1600/mep3.jpg At this point my camera started to only take fuzzy shots so I gave up for the evening. Here is the one decent pic of some Sternguard I could get: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_oIvdDo2csy0/TOmx2GkUCSI/AAAAAAAAAbU/8Rqb3sX4TVM/s1600/pair.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasmus of Baal Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I like the basing on the Sternguard--I don't use the MicroArt Studios bases for much because I can never seem to get them painted quite right no matter how simple it seems. Good job with them! Too bad with Brother Claudio...I like the conversions, but it would be great to still have him properly around for the squad.

Aeterni Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Loving the paint job! Too bad I can't paint nearly as well as that :) my hands shake no matter how i mount or rest my hands. About the broken lightning claw, I thought I read somewhere that lightning claws are retractable...... or am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 No idea at all on that one. But luckily for our damaged veteran I will procure some plasticard tomorrow to fix him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 You have some fantastic models here. I really like the powers weapons and claws, they are nicelly done! I have 2 observations though. Firstly, about the damaged terminator. I would file away the breakage point and glue others from a spare hand, no need for plasticard IMHO. Secondly, I noticed that the banner on Mephiston is the one used for Chaplains. I would use his own, but If you like it better, it's cool. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebsolom Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Very nice work Mr. Black! Especially on the terminators and Mephiston, you've done these models justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
