Araziel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Greetings one and all. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. While I lack the painting skills of the majority of B&C members, I decided it was high time that I uploaded some photos of my Space Marines now they're nearing a respectable size. Something I should mention before people start thinking "Huh?" is the presence of red marking on my marines. I paint these on as an honour badge marking those who fought in and remember the massacre at Rynn's World. While nto Codex markings, I find that they add some character to the army. Without further adieu, I present my Crimson Fists strike force made up of elements of the 4th, 1st and 10th Companies.

Dead Terminator - the armour and Crux Terminatus must be recovered. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5020/5539479999_3c132ec07f.jpg DSC_0027 by Araziel 619, on Flickr 2. Statue - a rally point. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5255/5539529977_56abbd5c9f.jpg DSC_0038 by Araziel 619, on Flickr The army is nearly complete as of yet, with small details such as scripture added to the 3rd Tactical and Devastator squads. Also needed is my custom mud mix to apply to some of my tanks, made of charcoal and cheap paint mix. Not pictured here is a near completed Razorback that I plan on giving Cortez when I get round to adding a Command squad (after all - Cortez just isn't Cortez without "Feel No Pain"!). My immediate plans for the future are to add; ~ Rhino for the Devastators. ~ Rhinos and Drop Pods for the Sternguard squads, in addition to bumping each up from 9 men to 10. ~ Cortez's Command squad. ~ Pedro's Honour Guard squad and Razorback. ~ Whirlwind. This will give me a nice selection of units to choose from for small games, and also provides the base for several Apocalypse formations - namely the Battle Company, Linebreaker, Whirlwind Suppression, Predator Assassin and Land Raider Redeemer Hellstorm Assault. I'm also considering the 1st Company - I already have 30 members, just 70 to go! I don't foresee the army being finished any time soon - probably not even before the next version of the Codex comes out, but it keeps me busy when I'm not working. The only concern I have is getting distracted by shiny new Grey Knights... Any comments and criticisms are welcome. I know I'm not the best painter in the world, far from it, and I can only get better by learning! Araziel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araziel Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Sorry, I'm in the process of editing the codes. :/ Edit - Problem solved, many apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nice job. The green may be a bit hilighted but nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araziel Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks very much. The green is actually a lot brighter and more defined in person, though. It should be - its 2-3 coats of thinned Scorpion Green with a Thraka wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Twisted Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I like how the green came out. Paired with the dark reds and blues it's very striking and makes a good point of contrast. Helmets on scouts look fantastic too. I should try that. Just curious, would Alessio Cortez be a reference to a certain ex-GW employee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Cortez is a 3rd ed. CM:SM Special charecter. They used to have a mdoel for him best image I can find of him - Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araziel Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks again ;) And as its just been pointed out, Cortez is an old independent character from the Crimson Fists. Unfortunately he didn't make it into the latest edition, I think he and Pedro would have fitted in well together. I decided to include him anyway though, just using a Captain's profile after reading Rynn's World by the Black Library. He's just too awesome to miss out..
