Vulkan454 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Great work so far, and I love the blood splatters as well. Do they have 'ardcoat over the top of them? The land raiders sponsons look a bit too long or was that how it's supposed to look. Anyway keep up the great work and don't stop updating.

mega_marines Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well, it seems like not many people really want to respond or anything, so I'm just tempted to stop updating. I know exactly how you feel. My first WIP thread a couple months back suffered the same fate. I'm going to watch and comment on this thread just because of that. Not much I can give you in the way of advice as it is, but it is looking pretty nice ;) Dude. Righteous. ;) Great work so far, and I love the blood splatters as well.

Vulkan Hah, no Ardocat oddly enough. Tamiya Red is naturally that vibrant. And for the sponsons, I'm starting to think it's an optical illusion, because in person they look perfect. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0850.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molloch Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Lovely job on the MkII Crusader - I have turned one into a Redeemer for my Minotaurs and its a thing of beauty. Don't get too disgruntled m_m - its a lovely force and the gore looks cracking :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 i love the crusader and the gore looks fantastic in my opinion ;) and i know what you mean about lack of replies, my night lords WIP is getting more and more views each day, but just a few people leave comments, but nonetheless, i keep churning out new models and let the lack of comments fuel the rage of my forge :D so keep it up, i'll be watching from the maelstrom!

Lol, not bad a plan you have in motion. :lol: I like the look of your army so far. Please don't get discouraged by a lack of replies, the B&C has its slow days once in a while. I am currently gathering parts to make a Carcharodons force using mostly FW armor variants and your topic has inspired me to pick up the pace and actually start assembling and painting some stuff soon. I may have missed this but I was curious as to what you were going to use for the chapter symbol, freehand or transfers? I am torn on the subject and am hoping that Forge World will release a transfer sheet soon and make up my mind for me. Thanks for the inspiration and please keep posting updates for us to enjoy. Oh! How did I miss this!? For the models, I'm waiting for about two months(or less) for Forge World to release their transfers. Reason being, is that I emailed them a week ago, and the response I got told me that transfers were being released in that time-frame of two months. So, get crackin! We must get as much done as we can for the transfers! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Must have been the camera angle then that made them look too elongated. Good investigating with the transfers as well. ^_^ Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiq Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Love the painting, especially on the Captain, really looks menacing. I don't think I've ever seen a great looking Space Sharks army but here's surely one in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels pretty good on my end, right now. :D Hmmm, maybe a bit of plasticard to make the sponsoons all one section and make the... joint?... not exposed? Unless, of course, you want it exposed :) For some odd reason, I kind of like the semi exposed look. Like, it's a modification of purpose, ya know?

I'd like to have the full rate of movement for the sponsons while looking protected. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_marines Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Well, with the rest of the force currently being built(They'll soon get pics), I present to you a mash up of bitz I had that ended up looking quite nice.

Astrum Vinco Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 the crozius is a tad bit too long, you might want to cut it down just a little bit. other then that, it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Personally I'd remove that rectangular bit under the crozius head, to me it seems superfluous. But it's your chappy mega, if you reckon it's good in your eyes, I shan't whine. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mega_marines Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 MASSIVE UPDATE! Well, with all my pieces having arrived, I set to work on building the force and dabbled in some test schemes to boot. Some of these models have been stripped clean from prior armies, or acquired and saved from Ebay. Every model deserves another chance! Mind you these models need some extensive cleaning and weapon drilling, as well as basing! “Squad Falcifor” http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0870.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0869.jpg “Squad Isurus” http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0871.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0872.jpg “Squad Leucas” http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0874.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0873.jpg “Squad Cepedia” http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0875.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0876.jpg "Chaplain Albimar" http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0877.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/IMG_0878.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Minsk Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 great looking squads you have there, nice use of bits, they are going to look great painted up. Land raider looks good too, how did the kit go together, was the resin badly warped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land raider looks good too, how did the kit go together, was the resin badly warped? Righteous, thanks bro! The kit wasn't bad at all. I've built a MKIIB kit before fore my Ultras with Ultramarine doors to boot, and it was pretty damn simple to make, yet fun to build. This time with the kit I had only one minor issue, which was the back exhaust vent-casing. It was a tad smaller, almost as if it had shrunk ever so slightly, and fit a little more loosely. It wasn't a problem in the slightest, as I just inserted the piece after letting the rest of the hull dry while being pressed together between my palms. Though, I did notice this time around that there was a large amount of the post-cast resin oils on the model; perhaps more-so than any other time Ive had built Forge World stuff. Still comes off just as easy after you spray it with some Simple Green though, let it sit for 20 minutes, and just wipe off with some tissue paper(or something similar). ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulkan454 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I really like the mixed armour in those squads, it gives each marine a personality. As Natanael said the crozius looks fine a like a two-handed weapon to boot ^_^ Keep up the great work. Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Christ, you really went to town on that lot, didn't you? They all look good, as far as bare models can, and I particularly like the kitbashing you've done. Also, the crozius looks better now, definitely a two-hander though. :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im glad the effect ran through. Also, see the comment below. Christ, you really went to town on that lot, didn't you?

Converting is perhaps my favorite part of the whole hobby. :) Haha, then it's decided! It's name will be"Glorificus Virga Pulsus".
