Puhnupetteri Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hello this is Puhnupetteris WIP Ultramarine army i got as christmas present. I started to paint these marines immediately i got 'em but at some point i lost energy. To get me up again i made this topic so i HAVE TO paint em until they are finished =) 2 Captain I got 36 Space marine 2 Dreadnought 5 Terminator 10 Jumppack fellas 3 Razordon 5 Scout 2 Predator 2 Broken Space marine fella wich im going to fix :) I have already painted em basic color (blue with golden strips for shoulder and weapons as silver/grey) Here are some work i need opinions first Im wondering what to type in Dreadnoghts middle scroll he has on front of him. (Notice the dreadnoght name "LAURA". named after my Gf... Fierce killing machine dreadnoght). I painted the name but as i tried to paint "ULTRA" text on captain i failed... so i glued text from some sheet that came with box of marines http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5066/dscn1570q.jpg http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/3617/dscn1568c.jpg http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1205/dscn1563s.jpg http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7374/dscn1562k.jpg http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6215/dscn1561t.jpg http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6315/dscn1560s.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/5347/dscn1559h.jpg http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/4383/dscn1558.jpg http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/6012/dscn1557p.jpg Ps.

Ecritter Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Very nicely done minis. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhnupetteri Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Okey i have made some progress. Almost all models are now atleast blue with trims. Got few new models wich thou needs heavy modelling http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7536/dscn1575.jpg I have these 1 pair of space marine leggs. And my 10man tactical squad needs missile launcher and flamer.. So i added zombie body, skeleton right hand i had, left hand from dwarf, got 1 shoulder pad, and i will attatch head of a dwarf. He still needs work i know and painting is just for show.. it needs work http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/165/ml1j.jpg http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2585/ml4p.jpg Also i have painted my terminators wich you can see here. I named sergeant "ARSKA" after famos terminator (you know who? I give u a hint "Hasta la vista..." :blush: ) http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/1699/dscn1588n.jpg Also i got 5 scout from friend.. i was wondering are bolter scout's any useful so i will try to attatch them snipers and cloack (i will add pictures when im done) I know i havent finished them so paint work for these models aint "perfect " http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9439/scouty.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhnupetteri Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Okey i got my army again bit forward I have: Pistol ccw scouts wich i was wondering should i convert them camo cloack, sniper scout as if i have 5 scout i think they will perform better with 4 sniper and 1 ML? Anyway i tought i can add them cloack and paint them some color and say those are not camo cloack if opponent asks.. they are regular one's :lol: Also i was concerned is it okey to make sniper from some bits and "white stuff" i have and mount it on models back like he was carrying it and declare he is using it on battle or not.. im not sure does this violate wysiwyg rule? http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/707/dscn1596z.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/2756/dscn1595u.jpg I decided i give my both tactical squad sergeant powerglove. I didint have any so i had to make one from "white stuff" i have :eek http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/4238/dscn1598t.jpg I also decided to continue painting captain. I think its againts fluff him to have black armor so i painted him smurf colors and i wanted his sword to be relic blade so i newly painted it. I think i need to improve sword just a little bit. At first i was thinking something like lightning on it but... anyone have any suggestions how to improve my captain? Or how to add text for gun as there is place for that but it seems to small to be painted text on http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/4811/dscn1590m.jpg I also decided that assault squad has to have atleast 1 flamer. Again i didint have real bits for it so i cut spear in half and attatched it to pistol marine had. Inclued melta bomb bottom of gun and added white stuff on the barrel http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/8509/dscn1592l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhnupetteri Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Okey. I finished my captain finally. I think im done with this model :P http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2238/captainl.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhnupetteri Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thank you very much for replys =)!!! I was 100% sure i got flamed for having 3 fingered powerfist and skeleton/zombie/dwarf missile launcher marine :D As this was my first "white stuff" experience i think that powerfist turned to be "okey" And more than i hoped for.. i think ill try to add 2 more finger asap. And i think i will remove sergeant head and add dwarf head for him... wich will be facing direction the finger is pointing As what happens to heretic ML i think i either build new ML from White stuff + straws and if that fail i will turn him in to regular bolter marine... As it is i noticed White stuff is hard to use ... those little details are very hard to make ... and after you manage to make 5 finger when you try to paint them or glue attatch them back to figure it becames nightmare :rolleyes: Anyone have any suggestion how to improve my painting job on models you see so far? Or any modelling suggestions? All feedback is welcome .. (negative or positive... althou I prefer constructive critism) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhnupetteri Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hurray! i have made some (slow) progress with my army. I got lot new models and i have painted all new models to very -basic- level. My english is not so great but i hope u all can understunt ^_^ Here is the overall army atm. http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6919/n12v.jpg Okey so main thing i have bought recently are very old razorback and 1 predator. Prevorius owner had painted them red and yellow and glued all guns with super-thick-hardtoremove glue. I wanted to make all guns changeable and i wanted to be able play 2 razorbacks as rhino. This is how predator looked after i painted it. It had extra armor at front of it (wich were glued together on awkward positions... i had to remove em) The problem with this predator was it had TL lascannons from year 1993.. and lascannon sponsons.. imo that is far too expensive to be pointwise. So i wanted to predator have autocannon and lascannon sponsons. I didint have one so i made one from "whitestuff" i have ;) Oh yeah i forgot to mention the last owner had some idea to glue turret on back of vehicle :ph34r: wich imo looks very awkward. So i had to remove everything and i had to make new layer for the predator (im not sure can u see it from image) http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/5033/n10s.jpg http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/2919/82268472.jpg http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5889/46226912.jpg Also i got a new dreadnought with lascannon and DCCW. So i had previously only 1 with MM and DCCW. Imo those weapon setups dont mix together very well and i wanted other to be shooty tank hunter and other to be bit all-around. So i wanted to make Lascannon / ML and PlasmaCannon / DCCW ... i ofc didint have any extra hands or weapons so again i had to make one myself from white stuff.. Here are those 2 dreadnoughts painted on basic level http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/7889/27699205.jpg http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/4438/28872003.jpg New weapons. Im still looking a good way to attacth these to dreadnoughts http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2350/95236555.jpg I made ML using matchbox. I pressed lot white stuff in it and made missiles freehanded Ass offtopic i made here is lil picture of sandbagcover i made http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/9522/75444138.jpg Cheers :) !

Foolio_Displasius Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The whitestuff plasma cannon & turret look a bit globby BUT I respect your energetic willingness to scratchbuild the options you want to field! :) Keep it up! You might consider looking into plasticard/sheet styrene if you haven't already. You already have the talent and energy to make your scratchbuilt stuff look similar to the GW product, but plasticard would give you an easier way to create uniform, flat surfaces for things like turrets.

Puhnupetteri Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate it :) Indeed especially the plasmagun turned to be "Globby" ... I was thinking as a firstaid should i cover it with plastic sheet to get better result. (After its painted it should look smooth)... ;) Thanks for suggesting that styren i will go google if that stuff is selled in finland.. atleast i never heard of such stuff. As it is scartch building is the way to go. If u want to make it cheap. This hobby is quite expensive. I got AOBR as christmas present and after that everything i got i have bought from Auctions etc... some pretty old stuff Cheers! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhnupetteri Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I wanted to add bit scenery here to be seen. Here is my coming "False Emperor statue" I was thinking this takes place in heretic planet that worship "emperor"... I will add "EMPEROR" sign on it wich has spray look-a-like on it wich says "FALSE EMPEROR" probably sprayed by some space marine... http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/4139/dscn1668u.jpg I had old GW structure from 90's wich i found from shelf... I repaired it and i will add depris to get better look http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4008/dscn1669j.jpg Desicned for hidden outpost. Behind it you can see sandbag wall i made from "white stuff" http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5803/dscn1673hh.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puhnupetteri Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Got new figures. I got 5 normal tactical marines with paintset i bought from GW. Decided that i have already enough tactical marines (3 Full squad+1 marine) so i decided to turn my 6 marines to Sternguard. Im eager to test sterguards in game so i painted them immediately :D tried to make good job... tbh i think they succeed better than my avarage marines that u can see from earlier posts. This time highlighting and colors came more clean than before. Im adding combimeltas to their bolter when i get those from mail. So i modelled those tactical squads so that i gave almost everyone a scope and a magazine from terminators storm bolter. http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/487/dscn2023w.jpg http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/8435/dscn2022d.jpg http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/8631/dscn2021c.jpg http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/3995/dscn2019.jpg http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/7976/dscn2018n.jpg http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/5807/dscn2026f.jpg Feedback is appriciated.

Puhnupetteri Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 I got my army bit forward again. Im starting to understant one thing while i have been compliting my army... that im not so good painter ;) But anyway i think i learn all the time so no pressure there. If someone has some hints what im doing wrong i would appriciate. Im planning to do more work on those skull eyes and bit with purity seals... Anyway here is latest photos of my sternguards that i got from paint set (2 piece models) Dont mind the bases of those models. I Was just practising and i came to conclusion that i get way easyer by ordering a ready bases :blink: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/4126/dscn2348f.jpg http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/5333/dscn2353n.jpg Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptor Tharxes Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 1. Get the right tools ( A very small brush for lenses and Insignia, and a few other good brushes.) 2. Painting Games Workshop Skull white on black primer takes some masochist expirience. 3. Your army is growing fast. Its already bigger(I do not count unopened boxes and unpainted minis in) then mine after years with many breaks in this hobby. Thumbs up. I would like to have your motivation. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhnupetteri Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hei THank you for your post. :) Yeh im not sure if im lacking the right tools.. maybe its my feeble shaking hand. 2. Painting Games Workshop Skull white on black primer takes some masochist expirience. Sad but true Im eager to hear more opinions and feedback about my work! What do u guys think of sternguard conversions? I myself loved those shoulderpads ;) Painting feedback and suggestions? Do those look enough sternguards or should i try to add different helmets (Got some chaos helmets, cloaks etc.) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master of fact Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Thin your paints! I cannot stress that enough. Neat painting is always a plus, do block colours like armour and flesh then use a wash to give detail ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 hey man...lookin good....your progress shows dedication to the art of getting an army done...course by the time its over you may sell it all to get more to redo it all over again n learn more;)....least thats been my problem...thinned paints as well as multiple layer of colors to build up (Dark blue, middle blue(actual ultra blue) then a lighter highlight blue...for whites perhaps start with grey or brown, add white in successive thinned layers and build up from there......good brushes help alot and a steady hand...get a bottle of thinner for acrylics as well as a bottle of glaze medium, should be able to get those in vallejo at LGS...water is a good thinner but can disperse the pigments to much where thinner at a 1 part thinner to 3-4 part paint will help it to move off of the brush smoother, the glaze is used after you base and midtone color to do an all over thinned midtone to the model, then you can come back and reapply the midtone to hilite layers....love the terrain BTW...

Warbringer Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just keep practising and it will come. The main thing you need to be a good painter in my book is Time & Paitence. Thinning your paints a little will help and don't worry about covering all in one attempt. There is one last thing that will make you better. If you make a small mistake / mistake get the colour base and go back over it when you've got thin paints it will be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhnupetteri Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 I got some overall army shots... Sunday im going to get brand new speeder and 5 more basic marines to my army ( Going to modify 2 of em as sternguards so i would have 8, 1 as librarian and 1 as pedro and 1 as vulkan or chaplain) ^_^ im eager to practise more painting on these guys http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5679/kokoarmeija1.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8771/dscn2397v.jpg http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5691/dscn2394m.jpg Im considering to buy all my friends marines to make my army GIANTIC size (100 marine, 3 bike, 1 speeder and predator) I think next investment will be rhinoback, 2 drop pod and land raider with 5 terminators (i will try to magnetize these to be either assault or tactical terminators)...

.Torch. Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Cool, nice to see some more Ultramarines. :) Just though I'd let you know that Assault Terminators and Tactical Terminators come in different sets, so it would be pointless to magnet them as you'll have the extra bodies anyway. What IS worth putting magnets on is the Heavy Weapons options and the CC loadouts, as it will give you a wider range of weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adary Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like how you made them darker than vanilla smurfs. It really gives them character :) Good painting skills as well mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
