Malatox Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hey all ;), After my little fiasco uplinking pictures of some of my models, I have decided to try again, but this time with WIP models. I have my list planned out and have almost all the models I need for it, it's just a matter of putting them together, green-stuffing the stuff that needs green-stuffed and painting like a mad man :P. So without further ado, here is what I am working on; http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjUxLmpwZw.jpg My Very First Drop-Pod http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjcxLmpwZw.jpg The inside of the Drop-Pod (I painted it first incase I found it hard to reach in and paint) http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjU1LmpwZw.jpg The start of my foot-slogging Assault Squad http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjYyLmpwZw.jpg Sergeant with Thunder-hammer http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjY3LmpwZw.jpg Shoulder barge! http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjY2LmpwZw.jpg Helmeted Marine http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjY0LmpwZw.jpg I'm not too happy with the pose, but I am happy with the hair-cut :) http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjU4LmpwZw.jpg Jump-Pack Assault Squad (half the squad is finished) http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjYwLmpwZw.jpg The Cautious marine wins the race! http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjYxLmpwZw.jpg He seems to have hair in his eye ha http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjU5LmpwZw.jpg "I'M GOING TO SHOVE THIS GRENADE SO FAR UP YOUR...!" Anyway, let me know what you guys think and check out my blog for the armylist and some pictures of my other models so far :) Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazer Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Looking good so far. I do recommend drilling out the barrels of the guns though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatox Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Eurgh I feel bad for not doing so, but if I'm honest I don't have a hobby drill anymore :/. When it comes to painting them I won't forget the dot of black though (at least until I get a new drill and fix them) Thanks for the comment ^_^, more to come soon Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 If you take a x-acto blade just twist a hole in the center of mussle that works too. And then your all set and easier way until you replace the hobby drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatox Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Thanks for the tip DeathKnight :cuss. I'll set about it tomorow or soon In the meanwhile, here's a picture of my finished Tactical Squad (Thier not very good, but I hope to do another squad on my way to building a battlecompany that's better); http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjc4LmpwZw.jpg Squad Damanko aka "The Old Schoolers" Hope you like the idea if not the actual painting Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebsolom Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Good work so far Malatox! Not a fan of the long hair but it may grow on me :P ;) . At least it will individualize your chapter from all the other baldy ones :cuss Nice to see attention paid to the bases as well, helps the models stand out more and contrasts well with the red. Keep it up :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up :P Thanks Ebsolom ;)... I liked the pun there ;). The long hair (and, I don't know if you can notice it on these models, with the "mud" and such, the checkered shoes) are to do with the idea of the Rock side of my army. Some models even have I-pods and the like haha I sculpt ALL the bases from greenstuff with this army, I like how different it looks compared to the usual sand and flock bases. Thanks again :(. Hopefully I'll be bringing more soon Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malatox Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Sorry for the triple post guys :/... A little update here for you though: http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjkzLmpwZw.jpg Five men out of my 10 man Jumpack Assault Squad http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMjczLmpwZw.jpg Sergeant with Powerfist (one of the first models I built and painted for this army) Well comment away everyone! Tell me how bad I am haha :lol: (Kiddin on, I'll cry) Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitra Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I wish I worked this quick, I'd have an army done in no time. I agree on the hair, not really my taste, but it will certainly give your guys character. I like the chapter badge. <_< You say some of the models have an iPod? Any chance of a detail shot? I'm curious how it looks on a power armored model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how it looks on a power armored model. Thanks for the post Demitra :). To be fair, I painted these models a while back, but I thought I'd add them in to show everyone what I'm working towards. I understand how A Lot of people will disagree with the hair, but it's a slight joke to go with my army idea :). I.e the Chapter Badge ha When I said I-Pod, I actually meant ear-phones and the like, hinting at the models listening to music (you can see some on the right-most model of my Jump Squad)... I feel though that I have got distracted by the awesome detail of the DC pack and have forgotten about the small jokes I had planned to put in (I.e the Ipod, a couple cans of Energy-drink, Sleeve-Tattoos on the scouts and such), I'll start work tonight transforming an Auspex into an I-pod for a very Lucky Marine :D C+C more than welcome :) Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatox Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Here's a new Marine; http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMzAwLmpwZw.jpg Brother Syke choosing some music to maul the Enemies of Mankind to! http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMzAxLmpwZw.jpg Another angle C+C more than welcome...

WarpWalker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I love the long/shaggy hair-head bangin'-Twisted Sister look. You rock Malatox! Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks WarpWalker, half the time I'm wondering if I should keep posting... They don't seem that popular haha. (maybe it's my painting level) It means a lot you said that, thanks :) Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpWalker Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Oh, I wouldn't sweat it Malatox. The important thing is they're your pride and joy. Play'em and play it hard! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malatox Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks WarpWalker. Thats my aim, to have an army that is of this crummy standard to be able to do battle-reports with and visit tournaments and the like :). I want it to be a memorable army, and if it's only one because people remember the idea or laugh at it, I'm fine with that :L Here's one of the marine I finished last night; http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMzAyLmpwZw.jpg From the front http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMzAzLmpwZw-1.jpg From the side. Shoulder pad detail, helmet and chainsword http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMzA0LmpwZw-1.jpg From the other side. Chapter badge and pistol detail C+C more than welcome as usual ^_^ Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebsolom Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 "... to have an army that is of this crummy standard" - Are you serious? It's better than probably 80-90% of armies that I've seen on Youtube batreps, Ebay and in my local area so if you think about the number of people who play 40k I can honestly say this. A hell of a lot go unloved and remain grey plastic whereas you are actually assembling and painting a nice looking force here. Just give it time and more people will comment :) Keep it up man ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself love a story-based report and would like to try my hand at one ;) Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your supportive comments, Captain Mungo I'll be finishing the drop-pod tonight, and will post it up shortly :L Malatox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
