Mr Yellow Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 @Morticon - thanks very much. I'm glad you like them. @Borther_Byhlli - I know what you mean about the colour scheme. I was unsure the whole way through, still not now. I am planning on having another bash at them as I think I can do a lot better now. As requested I will post my entire force. I think it's more likely to make the fat gold ones stick out more. Anyways: Sanguine Host, still missing a Dante fill in and honour guard: Lamenters' First Company, a lot more to go here if I want a full one. I do have 2 dread in bits and enough foamboard to make another of my mini-hawks so I am a few evenings work off having an Archangel Skyforce: And finally the Lamenter's Third Company led by Captain Arkanis. Still need another 30 tac marines to finish this lot up and some drinking buddies for the Captain: Also, this is the 100th post of this blog. Some milestone. C&C welcome as always.

AustonT Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Have you thought about Librarian Loth and HG for your Dante and HG? For 38 quid you get torsos for the HG that you can add to DC legs and heads. Plus a pretty badass Libby model. Just food for thinking if you haven't already. My fiancé discovered I have the GBP to USD exchange rate memorized the other day and yes as both the currencies slide it's not kind to international purchases.

Mr Yellow Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks for the encouragement chaps. I know I have been lax of late but real life has taken over somewhat, work, the death of a friend and various other things have meant that I have had little time for my Lamenters. I am also off to the world cup in a few days so this is my last post for about 2 months. Anyways, here is the latest photo of my assault squad, 99% done (as is most of my stuff): Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 So I'm finally back from my holiday. Time to shock this thread back into life with the following efforts achieved before I passed out yesterday from jet lag. Firstly a lick of paint on the sanguinary guard: And one of the tac squads I built a while back, the guy at the rear is what they will look like in a few hours: Mumblings and rumblings welcome as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodrick Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Love the gold on the Termies. What is your process for painting the gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. @ Brodrick - I think you will find better golds on the forum but mine was Burnished Gold with some Brazen Brass in there to darken it. Washed with Badab Black. Then paint main areas with B-Gold, I think I actually drybrushed this but kept the paint wet to stop it from clumping. Then it was a case of adding mithril silver for highlights. Anywho, some more painting happened this week but just the 3POs that got the attention. Still a fair amount to go on them. An updated photo of the last few days: I am unsure what colour to paint the wings on this lot, black and white is obvious but I am not convinced. I am leaning to either just white or red but what do you lot think? C&C welcome as always chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Wow, Just wow. Looking awsome. I love the scratch built stuff. I wish i could do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Awesome models all of them, but I have to ask, why do the Sanguinary guard have chicken feet? Please don't paint them all yellow. Or rename the chapter/squad to space chickens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 @Quixus - Chicken legs :lol: genuinely haven't heard that one before. I just didn't want to have a whole pile of sanguinary guard from the same box, and after converting a couple of squads I just went nuts. The chicken men were going to be a special void combat unit but decided ten raptors was too pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Right chaps a mini update today, got some more yellow on my tac squad. A few more evenings and they should be finished. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Rumble rumble, armoured reinforcements are on the way. Not quite in theme with my Battle Company intended for boarding actions but nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Firelupus Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Awesome, I just spent 30 minutes reading this at work, well worth it. I love the additions of the red on the termis, it really makes them pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glendor Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I did a fast skim through this article and was wondering how you accomplished those bases. One of the best lamenter armies I have seen. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Nice lemmy's you got going on here, love some of the conversions and the gold teries (MK II) are excellent. They shouln't work but they sooooo do :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vahouth Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Great army you have there! I really like the golden dudes and your overall choice of colours. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Alaric Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 definitely read the whole thread sitting in class this morning...fantastic conversion work man, the termies are awesome! particularly like the guy with the helmet in his hand :) the checkers on your shoulder pads make me jealous of your painting skills lol out of curiousity, have you painted up any of your scratch-build thunderhawks yet? good work man~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks for the replies chaps, always appreciate it, and the incentive boost too. @ Castellan Alaric - Glad you are making the best of your education, sadly the scratch builds have not been painted yet. Mainly because I refuse to use a brush on them but being made of foamboard and having no paint gun I don't fancy melting them. Just yet anyway. @ Glendor - I have two 'types' of base, mainly they were made by cutting squares of diamond pattern plastic sheet and then trimming till they fitted the base and were circular. I got the stuff from 4D model shop (I don't get commission) but their shipping is way OTT £££ so I'm sure there are better and cheaper places to go but I am lazy. The other lot are i think maxmini, I cheated, bought one box and cast them in resin as after 30 odd bases I was getting v. bored of making them. No space marine porn today, some free hand mural stuff has gone wrong on the raider (painted over so no one will ever see though) so will post as and when I think it looks pretty enough to show off.

Glendor Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks a lot I will see about reproducing them myself. If you could can you get a picture of the base by itself? The diamond plate variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 @ Glendor - I don't have any un-used bases lying around at the moment so I will put a batch together, will take some photos at the same time for when I start giving lectures.
