TheHarrower Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Here's an update on my Sternguard. Thought I could do better than the FInecast Boxed Set and I was too cheap to drop the cash so I made my own. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9pRbnrhUwL0/UcE5H_0FkyI/AAAAAAAAA1M/w-uSPIwnF5E/s1600/ETL2013.jpg Really happy with how these turned out. Now I need to take off all the mold lines and prime them. More soon. I'm using these guys in a tournament this weekend!

Taranis Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Looking good. I like the poses. I've yet to make a kneeling marine. Yours look great. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3397067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Lem Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like the flamer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3397115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastellan Kong Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Been working on my own version of Mephiston. I didn't want to use Astaroth like most people do, so this is what I came up with. I still need to fix up the sculpt as there are a lot of air bubbles and some other issues. Also, need to add the hose back into the psychic collar and I'm probably going to add one to the force sword as well. I'm considering attempting to turn his head slightly to make his less static, but I'm afraid I'll ruin him. Should I leave it as is or go for it? I'd love to get some feedback. Leave the head as it is. A slight head turn wont be worth the effort.

TheHarrower Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like the flamer. That's from the Sternguard Finecast kit from GW. Leave the head as it is. A slight head turn wont be worth the effort. I finished Mephiston months ago and I did leave the head as is. Not too happy with the paint job though that's why there's no updated pic. I didn't realize the back marines were so blurred. Here's a pic of just those guys. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fEB1k4zqux4/UcG_Isb3NmI/AAAAAAAAA1c/60b2G_4iYNg/s1600/ETL2013-2.jpg Lord Sondar 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3397270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sondar Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 @ TheHarrower Really liking the Sternguard. I totally agree with not buying the Fail Cast Versions. My Vanguard are built from the Blood Angel plastics too. Looking forward to seeing the painted versions.

TheHarrower Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Looks promising... Good choice of decor. I knew you would approve. Well, I didn't get my Sternguard done, but I did manage to tie for second place in the tournament. I painted the Sergeant pretty well I'm posting him here. I'm in my last week of class for Advanced Game Characters so I doubt I'll get much done this week. I plan on hopefully finishing up my first vow by next weekend.

Boomkapow Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 The only critique that I have is that I would paint the rivets on the neck guard. Other than that, amazing looking model.

TheHarrower Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I should have been working on my vow, but I got distracted and brought out my Mephiston model and touched him up. Really happy with how this came out. There is a lot of subtlety here that I just can't pick up with a camera. Eventually I'll figure that out. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QQR5fgaIfds/UdyltPl6HxI/AAAAAAAAA2k/eatB0vmH27w/s1600/MephDone1.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-97k4fN74UdA/UdyltJzYlxI/AAAAAAAAA2g/7tdpySs_tf8/s1600/MephDone2.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pc8Uhvaed9Q/UdyltAFptiI/AAAAAAAAA2c/aZgEIcXmwkw/s1600/MephDone3.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nNW6HdCvxNs/UdylthfW8AI/AAAAAAAAA20/FRaMtHZiQM0/s1600/MephDone4.jpg Next project for me is getting my Sternguard done.

Midnightmare Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Great stuff here Harrower, your Meph is excellent! And if the rest of your Sternies turn out like your Sarge then that will be an awesome squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3409860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) http://icirclegames.com/external/Sternguard.jpg Man, am I behind. Sternguard are done except for the bases, but I don't think I need the bases done to count this as completed. Have to finish the Attack Bike and the Stormraven. More soon!

Taranis Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Beautifully painted! Don't mind the bases. They are not necessary in relation to the ETL. If you have time to spare after the bike and raven you could return to them. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3421025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) Here's the work in progress on the Stormraven. Had a lot of cracks to fill. Just gave it a bath in some soapy water. First thing tomorrow I'll prime it. http://icirclegames.com/external/Stormraven1.jpg http://icirclegames.com/external/Stormraven2.jpg http://icirclegames.com/external/Stormraven3.jpg Edited September 6, 2017 by TheHarrower Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3421528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Done with about 12 hours to spare! http://icirclegames.com/external/AttackbikePaint.jpg Not up to my usual standards, but beggars can't be choosers. It definitely suffices as tabletop standard. http://icirclegames.com/external/StormravenPaint.jpg This needs a LOT of work, but for a 3 hour paint job I can't complain. I sticky tacked the turret guns on because I plan to magnetize. The canopies are missing because I am going to tint them.

Midnightmare Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 They look pretty good for speed painting! What colour are you going to tint the canopy? I was thinking green for mine (Tamiya do a good one). I must say I do like the 'winglets' on the front; not too grat for line of sight mind but certainly balences it out.

marine7312000 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Looks pretty good. Considering I normally end up taking 2 hours to paint one infantry model, this is pretty good job in three hours.

Very annoyed I had to go the speed painting route and that I didn't contribute more, but I managed my time poorly. Maybe next time I'll do better. I'm going to go with green too and try RIT dye. I've seen other people do it and it looks awesome. I'll post a tutorial on my blog when I do it. I like the front wings too. When I did my first Stormraven, I never intended on taking the Hurricane Bolters so LOS wasn't an issue. I've thought about putting them elsewhere and using the ones from the Ravenwing Dark Talon, but I didn't really want to change where they fire from. I've actually prototyped an extension on them so they are in the same place and the sponsons just stick out more. Not only does it help with LOS, it helps with the silhouette of the model and looks better. That'll be one of my next projects after I finish really painting this stuff.

Midnightmare Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nice one sounds good, and I will keep an eye out for your tute as I am about as far along with my Raven and looking for ideas (I picked it up cheap from a local Ravenguard player before they had access to it and the pilot is painted in their colours tint should hide it without resorting to a block of colour) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219795-the-harrowers-wip-thread/page/3/#findComment-3425017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
