nurgling6688 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Proof of life :) http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/astralclaw_zps8c21b237.jpg I have been working on Fantasy mostly lately but found some time while primer dried to paint this Sternguard a bit. The cloth only has the shadows done so far, no highlights. I have a Twitter account @mengelminis where I post up a bunch of stuff daily if you don't want to wait between posts on here. Hopefully this guy will be done sometime soonish? I don't have much motivation to play 40k right now, but still love the models and my Astral Claws.

Nomus Sardauk Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Oooh, more of your delicious Astral Claws? Wonderful, this is a great thread and I'm glad to see it active again. I can't wait to see this new Badabian gentlemen and read through his story when he's finished, I know it'll be excellent. Oh, and nurgling? http://media.giphy.com/media/12g2zLSblrgndK/giphy.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226049-the-tyrant-rises-update-51815-tac-marines-done/page/24/#findComment-3862562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Your astral claws are great brother! Just wondering how many points do you think you have all together Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226049-the-tyrant-rises-update-51815-tac-marines-done/page/24/#findComment-3862765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 A little more work on him, the blues are done now except for weathering. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/photo2_zpscd3d7115.jpg I have done more work on the gold since this too. Let me know if these stage by stage photos are too much. I don't want to burn out people's interest in the model. I can save it all for a grand reveal once he's done if that's preferred. As for how many points I have, probably not much. Painted I have 5 scouts, 5 assault marines, 10 tacticals, 3 1/2 sternguard, Valthex (techmarine with conversion beam), 1 assault terminator and a drop pod... I have yet to play anything besides a Kill Team game with these guys. Some day, some day...

GrandMagnus Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I actually like the stage-by-stage updates, its nice to see how things come together. Sure, if you are doing and entire squad in one go it can be quite tiresome, but for a single miniature in each squad, your "test squad member" per-say I think its great.

nurgling6688 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 More work done. The gold is now done and the gun casing is mostly done, just need to tidy up the highlights and weather it. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/hvyflamer2_zps794d73c3.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/hvyflamer3_zpsf27aecd2.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/hvyflamer_zps0486eb75.jpg I have not finished Corien Sumatris yet, but he's next after the Sternguard. I plan on entering that squad with Sumatris in it into Crystal Brush.

nurgling6688 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 Chugging along on this guy. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/astral2_zpsa8a6dcaa.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/astral3_zpsa145936f.jpg http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i317/tylerrox6688/astral4_zps2bf08ff6.jpg I love how much the little details pull a model together near the end. I noticed a crack in one of the purity seals I will need to fix before I continue painting them. Hopefully he'll be done this weekend :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226049-the-tyrant-rises-update-51815-tac-marines-done/page/24/#findComment-3867791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurgling6688 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Thanks! I have a small favor to ask. Now that I know I am for sure entering into Crystal Brush it would be helpful to get some critical feedback. I plan on entering the 5 sternguard and Corien Sumatris as one unit. If anyone would like to take a look back at the 3 I already have done and let me know anything that you think can be improved upon that would be fantastic. Also try and think of them as a cohesive whole as well as individual models. Thanks again!

NightHunters Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Would love to chap, your best bet would be to take a quick group shot, give us an idea on how you plan to have them working together etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/226049-the-tyrant-rises-update-51815-tac-marines-done/page/24/#findComment-3871196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

death given form Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hrm. Stubble on the bare heads stands out, it would be an excellent touch. If you want to go ham, freehand honor marks and perhaps a Maelstrom Warder symbol here and there. I'd say weather them up, but that's more my personal preference than anything.
