Ravendove Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 This is where the finished stuff goes right? ;) If you haven't been following it, I've had a project log going for around six months now. Now the army is finally finished and I wanted to share some pictures. Here we go.

Rapture747 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Congratulations. It must feel good to have a playable army painted to such a high standard. Threads like this inspire me to get back into painting my own marines. If my venerable dreadnought comes out half as good as this one I will be very pleased.

Carmine_the_Wolf Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm really impressed by the bold paintjob on the transports. Reminds me of a very "comicbook" style with the strong colours and striking poses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemainus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The style and visual impact of your models is intense. I love the red! Great recipe, whatever it is. Fabulous, cohesive unit you have there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulous, cohesive unit you have there. Thank you. I was going for a crisp, clean "fresh off the Strike Cruiser" look, rolling on their way to the battlefield. Red is done with Army Painter Pure Red primer basecoat > Baal Red wash > Blood Red/P3 Khador Red on armour plates > Devlan Mud wash in the joins > Blazing Orange highlight. well done sir! (raises tankard in salute!) ^_^ I don't have a tankard (will a whiskey flask do?) but you have my congratulations all the same. :tu: Tempted to do more or are you seeing things in red and white now? :tu: yeah...you planning to do more sons of orar? ;) I'm definitely looking to add at least another 500pts, maybe bring it up to 2000pts if I'm feeling plucky. Depends if I get distracted with shiny new projects in the mean time. You know how it is :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oknights Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Wow the red looks awesome. That is one impressive army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styygens Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Very, very nice. I always liked "factory fresh" Marines because they are so striking -- especially in bold colors. I imagine they spend all that time transiting the warp re-painting and re-polishing their gear. I think you've got just the right amount of weathering.

Leonaides Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Am I the only one who sees a Sons of Orar coloured baby chair (?) on the fridge door in the middle of most of those pictures? Admit it - you're involved in some Ad Mech program aren't you! But very nice crisp models there, Wish I could get my red like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Absolutely stunning, this is the kind of thing that should be in the back of White Dwarf, a 'real' persons army painted to an amazing standard, congrats :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain belisarius Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 yeah...tell me about it! i keep changing my mind on what army to get... fantastic looking army mate...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKits Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 this is an amazing army i love how they look. this fresh and crisp look like they are just going into battle and know they are gonna take some names talk about kicking in the face of *insert random enemy of the Imperium* anyway i really want to know... how did you make that autocannon for the dreadnought. I've had my fair share of attempts at making such weapons.. and well to be honest one of them is still jokingly refered to as Vene-compensation because i had to make one using 2 pred autocannon barrels...

Thanks buddy. I've been keeping a project log in the WIP forum for a while now, where I went over how I did the conversion. Instead of repeating the technique here, I'll just link you straight to the post. It's pretty simple (if you've got the parts). Predator barrels would certainly look a bit beefier though!
