JetfireUK Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Hi Chaps, I thought to have a blog of all my finished miniatures in one place so hopefully I can add to this throughout the year. Today I finished my first miniature of 2011 - the Gamesday 'Hammer' Marine. I've always liked this sculpt and thanks to a member here I finally had an opportunity to own it myself. I've painted this Marine up as a member of the First Company as it suited the mold and plus I have a pile of Veterans that need painting up. You might notice that I've left off the chequers on this one - the reason being that it's a fairly detailed sculpt and I didn't want to overload it. Anyway, enough rambling here it is. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271702.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271703.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271705.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271704.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Corsican Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Looks great! Only thing is the white on the shoulder pads and "belt buckle" is bright white and everything else is nicely shaded. It might just be the picture, but if it's not, you might want to consider adding a little shadow to it. Again, great start for the new year. Keep it up!

JetfireUK Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks for your comments. I think that shading white will be my next challenge. I wanted the buckle to appear flawless - in my mind hinting at the purity of the Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hi Folks, It's been a little while since I've last made a post and I thought to give you an update on my Blood Angels force. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271816.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271817.jpg The shots were done once this morning and once tonight so you might see a couple of minor changes. My red recipe is: 2 layers of Mechrite Red, 2 layers of Red Gore, 1 layer of 50:50 Red Gore and Blood Red and 1 layer of Blood Red. For highlights I made a mix of Blood Red and Vomit Brown gradually increasing the amount of Vomit Brown to the highlights. I hope you like. These take longer than my Ultramarines but hopefully I'm doing them justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Those Blood Angels are really nice. I like the way the purple drops contrast with it. The Ultramarine is great too, and he looks kinda like a young, hammer-swinging Reagan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks for taking the time to comment. I've got a few days off thanks to the Easter break so I hope to get the rest of the Blood Angels Assault Marines Squad done and I hope to get photos up by the end of the long weekend. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I concur. Very nicely done Blood Angels. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi Folks, Here are a few shots of my finished 5-man Blood Angels Assault Squad. Overall I'm pretty pleased with them - the red came out well and the yellow helmets are pretty fair. The Death Company frames are really nice and there's a lot of character in them. Anyway enough of me talking - here are my minis. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271818.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271819.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271820.jpg What's next on the list? Well, I think that I should allow myself to get consumed by the Black Rage and paint up a batch of five Death Company. Hopefully I can get the first one finished by the weekend.

JetfireUK Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hi Folks, Here's an update - my squad of five Death Company marines are now complete (Apologies for the dark photos - I adjusted the contrast and brightness but they're still pretty dark) Individual figures: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271821.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271822.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271823.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271824.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271825.jpg Group shot: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271826.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271827.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi Folks, This month's work was a squad of five Grey Knight Terminators. They're an amazing set and I'm looking forward to getting some more in the future. Enough small talk - here are the photos: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271859.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271860.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271861.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271862.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271863.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271864.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Those look awesome dude, like the power-weapons especially. I wish someone would do a tutorial on how to get them like that. *cough* B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hi Folks, Here's my completed strike squad. I really enjoyed putting these together - especially as there are so many options on the frame. I hope that you like them. Anyway, enough chatter here are a few shots. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271873.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271874.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271875.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271876.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271877.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271878.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271879.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271880.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetfireUK Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Folks, Since I have my Grey Knight Strike Squad finished I thought that I would go through the pile of kits and paint up a five man Blood Angel Squad using some bitz left over from the Death Company frame. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271881.jpg Hopefully over the week I can add the final two and then look at the Sanguinary Guard that's been sitting on my desk since the beginning of the year. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi Folks, Just a small update. I've managed to finish my five-man Blood Angel Squad: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271882.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271883.jpg These were fun to do and a nice change from the metallic armour of the Grey Knights. This brings my Blood Angels force up to 15 figures - 5 Tactical Marines, 5 Assualt Marines and 5 Death Company. I have a squad of Sanguinary Guard to do next which I'll juggle between my next Grey Knight project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauyippiejoy Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think your Death Company lads are outstanding, really nice work there. Black is a though color to shade properly but you've done it really well! And oh, yeah, those Blood Angels and Grey Knights aren't much worse for wear either! ^_^ Keep up the great work!

Machinepriest Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Seeing gorgeous Blood Angels like these makes it really hard for me to focus on my Carcharodons >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Cheers for the comments! I've enjoyed the challenge of painting red - I've still got a way to go though. Blood Angels also have a nice mix of armour colours (red, black and gold) which makes them quite fun to paint up. Hopefully I can get my Sanguinary Guard painted up next.

JetfireUK Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Hi Folks, Just a minor update - I got the first of my Sanguinary Guard done: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271885.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/JetfireUK/SL271884.jpg You can see that I 'borrowed' from the Grey Knights I've done recently - in terms of the Glaive Encarmine and the style of the metallics. I've used a variety of washes to give the gold a unique colour and appear to be worn and ancient. I hope you like. What do you think? As it's the start of July tomorrow I'll be working on my Grey Knight piece for the month - the Dreadknight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
