Strike-Force Rauron wip (aka Rock Marines)


Malatox

Recommended Posts

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;

My Very First Drop-Pod

The inside of the Drop-Pod (I painted it first incase I found it hard to reach in and paint)

I'm not too happy with the pose, but I am happy with the hair-cut :)

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 :)

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

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);

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 :(

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

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.

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 :)

I love the long/shaggy hair-head bangin'-Twisted Sister look. You rock Malatox!

Keep up the good work.

 

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 :)

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;

C+C more than welcome as usual ^_^

"... 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 ^_^

Thanks Ebsolom, I guess it's the prevalence of such nicely painted miniatures in a lot of the other threads haha

As I said, I hope to finish the army and get some unique battle-reports and videos out there. I myself love a story-based report and would like to try my hand at one ;)

love the theme (and the rock symbol as chapter badge :huh: ) now all you need is dante toting an axe and a flying landraider stormraven and your army will be offialy awesome :ermm:

Thanks Demoilius :). Don't you find it funny how a SH Glaive Encarmine axe looks like it'd make a great air guitar ;) *hint hint*

 

Here's an update of a new model;

Brother Syke choosing some music to maul the Enemies of Mankind to!

http://i812.photobucket.com/albums/zz46/Roory123/utf-8BSU1HMzAxLmpwZw.jpg

Awesome! Throw him a bolter hanging by the strap under his right arm and he's golden!

 

I didnt quite catch the headbanger theme before (maybe a bit too many emo-bangs for my personal taste) but taking it a bit further like this made for greatness! :lol:

He's basecoated now :/, but it's fine cause the assault squad need some tunes (h)

 

I'm still working on it tbph, it started out as Emo-marines but I felt people made too many jokes about people with real emotional problems so I changed it.

Thanks for your supportive comments, Captain Mungo

I'll be finishing the drop-pod tonight, and will post it up shortly :L
