chaplainmikey Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hi, I finished basing these 5 this morning and thought i'd put them up on here to see what everyone thought. Admittedly i did rush painting these somewhat and so they aren't to the highest standard i could have achieved,but i wanted to get them finished quickly. The bases will need another coat of snow flock,but besides that they are done. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_Photo0503.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_Photo0500.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_Photo0501.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_Photo0502.jpg Next up is my slightly converted AoBR Dreadnought. :P Cheers, Mike.

Rogan Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Hey Mike, got a short question for the beginning: If you did rush them, why on earth would you try to "show off" with BR models? Sure, I'm being quite harsh - you don't deserve that - but I just don't really see the point. Your next project sounds far more interesting - even slight conversions may achieve awesome results.

Zincite Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The white helmets could do with sharper high lights, so they look white, rather than gray. But other than that very good brother, very good indeed :P.

Hah, erm? You basically said, '':P your minis, im being mean and you dont deserve that, but :D them all the same.'' Those ultras are looking good though dude, like Zincite said, a white highlight on the helmets would make all the difference!

Dwarfkernow Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Nice Termies and what is wrong with the BR termies, they do the job and can be easily converted. Are you building an Ultramarine force? :P Looking forward to seeing more The DwarfKernow Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216787-ultramarine-terminators/#findComment-2586770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 @ MagicMan: Nah, that's not true. As far as I know ChaplainMikey, he's a nice chap, and I don't mean to insult him. I've seen worse minis, but I've seen better ones, too, that's true. I just told him I didn't understand why he would present rushed minis. I personally wouldn't do that, that's why I was wondering. No offense meant! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216787-ultramarine-terminators/#findComment-2587577 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherZaah Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I agree with Rogan Chaplainmikey asked: 'here's some terminators that I rushed, what do you think?' My answer: I think they look rushed. I think that the details need to be done properly, and that the white needs layering. I'd personally give them a wash of asurmen blue purely because the blue looks too monotone and i'd redo the battle damage because it looks like you've missed parts with the blue basecoat. I'd also wash the boltgun metal because like the blue it looks like a rushed basecoat at the moment and put chapter and squad markings on because Marine without them will always always look unfinished and a bit bland. From a modelling standpoint i'd also drill the barrels.

chaplainmikey Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 BrotherZaah & Rogan- Fair comments guys,but let me explain that i said these were 'somewhat rushed',and that i only painted them with less attention and pace than my Tactical squad because i needed them finished for a game.Otherwise i may well have spent alot more time adding things such as the chapter symbol and other markings. The helmets do need white highlights but i only skipped these as i haven't any skull white at the moment. The armour,metals and battle damage look alot better in real life and I'm afraid the pictures do lose alot of the colour.I will get some pictures of the models in daylight tomorrow if the weather is good and post them up. I appreciate the comments and will look forward to hearing what you think as i progress and post pics of the army as a whole. Cheers, Mike.

Rogan Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Phew...! I'm glad you didn't take my comment as an offense. I'm sure you'll be able to do some decent paintjobs, as all Mikes are. *g* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/216787-ultramarine-terminators/#findComment-2590564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
