Crusader of Dorn Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nice work man, i just got hold of the IA Badab books and the Huron miniature myself. I may well be joining the Legion :tu: I'd like to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Cheers man I'm building em quite slowly out of bits and bobs so they may be few and far between. However, I managed to strip down a Dreadnought using the Dettol solution so once I've blinged him up a bit he'll be on the list too. And I seriously recommend the IA books. It's like grown up 40k, and the chapters in there are just awesome (Charcaradons are a personal favourite after the Tyrants Legion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey all, just finished Lufgt Huron. Here he is in all his glory. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2289.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2291.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2290.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Stunning work, best one yet, looks just like the one in this month's White Dwarf - suspiciously so even... :lol: Pics are a little dark though, got any brighter ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 haha I wish! Thanks dude. I got some lighter pics now. I realise I've done a bit of a Neil Hodgson and only painted the front of his loin cloth/apron. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2292.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Very nice work, i'm in the process of painting some Mantis Warriors (my favourite, so death to to space fishes! haha). I have the Tyrant ready to paint, though i plan to paint a combat squad of each Badab chapter - so mine will be a Badab log rather than AC specific.

Rob_Loken Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Sweet mate I like the Mantis Warriors style, helping the people of the Endymion Cluster and such. I think they are an excellent counter weight to the Astral Claws utter disregard for non-Astartes life. And once again it muddys the waters of the Badab War. Well I said I'd Dettoled a Dreadnought and here is the result. One old Dread restored to something approaching a decent paintjob (my standards anyhoo haha). http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2299.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2298.jpg Cheers for looking, C&C welcome.

Olis Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Parchment needs writing squiggles, methinks. Besides that it looks pretty good. The sarcophagus decoration looks nice. High Elf, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Sweet, i'm afraid to paint claws now. :P Should get a FW ven dread aswell, your skill warrents it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Mate with your skills you've got nothing to worry about. I'm seriously considering a Ven Dread to paint up as Ancient Kleitor. But that'll be when I get paid properly by work and I've finished my little 1000 point list. I've got so far ; 1 x Lufgt Huron - Painted 1x 5 Man Tac Squad - Painted 1 x Rhino - to build 1x 5 Man Tac Squad - WIP 1x Razorback - to build 1x Dreadnought - Painted 1x Terminator Squad - to buy 1x Whirlwind - to buy Then I'll push the ante and load up on some more Forge World goodies :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Dread looks double hard mate, loving the red lense and jewell as well. Only thing that could improve it would be to have some stomped Red Scorpions on the base :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 Ooh I like that idea. Guess I know what I'll be doing on my day off tomorrow. I think when I get round to the terminator as well I'll put a fair bit of loyalist detritus on their bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyfox1990 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 really nice work - first few photos I wasn't keen but as I flicked through I realised you ve done some really nice models - gratz :teehee: will keep an eye on this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Cheers mate I find that the first few tend to be me working out a method, then when it's sorted out I can go about improving the paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Its turned out well though, i'll be working on my claws soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 Cheers bud, like they say "practice makes...you slightly better than you were before". Can't wait to see your take on the Claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hey guys finished up the Razorback last night. Here's the pics. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2307.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2308.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice one, you dont paint slowly at all, it took me half a decade to finish my old space wolves army :tu: Did you use much badab black on the razorback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Cheers mate, I had a day off and the GF was at work so I went to town on it. The only place I used Badab Black was on the TL Heavy Bolter. The rest was just a mixture of drybrush and streaking (not the party kind) with different silvers.

Crusader of Dorn Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 cool, looks like you've washed it, but i'm viewing on my ps3 so its hard to tell. I need to buy a new Tyrant mini as i've converted mine into a DIY Chapter Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Really nice work on Huron, and on the tanks, I like how you've transferred the Chapter colours to them. Am I going nuts or is the Razorback turret non-standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Not only are your minis awesome but you're also prolific :D Nice work on the razorback, the streaking came out really well, as did the green lenses and the techmarine. This is giving me inspiration to get my tanks sorted but I hate painting them :) Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Cheers guys, the razorback is indeed scratch built out of the heavy Bolters of a Landraider/ Razorback and the casing is from an ironclad seismic hammer arm. The middle of it is part of the interior of a drop pod. Makes it individual I guess though I still want to make a circular base out of plasti card for it. I used to hate tanks but just trying out new techniques on them makes them more fun than painting my BA tanks. Which makes me slightly sad as I love my BAs.

Rob_Loken Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just thought I'd throw up a pic of the force so far. Got some Terminators coming soon to add to the force as well as a Rhino. But it's getting there. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2315.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2320.jpg Also a better pic of Huron. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae63/Astartes_Loken/PICT2318.jpg Edit : Added photo of finished Tactical Squad.

Machinepriest Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Very nice stuff! I like the turret on the Razorback, never seen that done before. Huron looks great. Nice weathering on his armour. I think the gold could use a highlight though. 50/50 gold and silver on the edges would really bring it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
