Jerre Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I got some work done yesterday. I worked on the bases of my painted minis. As soon as they are finished, I'll post some new pics. I also found some time to start assembling the next batch of marines. Two grey hunters with bolters. The first one is on cork because I will place him on top of a piece of rock. http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7645/dsc07068f.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3894/dsc07081e.jpg http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/3029/dsc07084t.jpg A grey hunter with pistol and chainaxe. I'm going to differentiate my squads of grey hunters with their weapons: one squad with bolters, one squad with pistol and chainsword and one squad with pistol and chainaxe. http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/9636/dsc07079z.jpg http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/3158/dsc07080i.jpg The second wolf guard with combi-melta and powerfist. This guy also goes on top of a piece of rock. http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5528/dsc07071b.jpg http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4934/dsc07073m.jpg Another long fang with missile launcher. I really had to butcher his backpack :( Why didn't they take chaos backpacks into account when they made these things :) I didn't glue on the head as it would be near impossible to paint it afterwards. So I'll have to paint it separately. http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/480/dsc07076q.jpg More to come ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Here are the "finished" pics of my first batch ... http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/7075/dsc07088h.jpg http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/2500/dsc07091l.jpg http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/7170/dsc07094q.jpg http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/3379/dsc07097n.jpg http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/1007/dsc07098cp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerre Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 I got some more work done tonight. Here are the next three marines I assembled. http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/8751/dsc07105os.jpg http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/3976/dsc07108s.jpg http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/8729/dsc07109zc.jpg http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/7753/dsc07112p.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Small update. I have finished the partial assembly of the first drop pod. http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9521/dsc07132b.jpg http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7408/dsc07123d.jpg http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5923/dsc07122v.jpg http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5648/dsc07124jv.jpg I also did some magnetising so I can swap between the stormbolter and the missile launcher. http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/9789/dsc07127d.jpg http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/8307/dsc07125c.jpg I also added magnets to the inside of the bottom piece. If I ever want to make a display board, I can use some magnets or metal to keep the drop pod from falling off. http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/7730/dsc07116k.jpg I'm thinking of still adding some chaos bits to the doors.

subtlebrush Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 This army is coming together very nicely. Good luck with that drop-pod :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 I finished assembling another two marines. http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/9620/dsc07138km.jpg The second grey hunter with meltagun ... http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/1928/dsc07147c.jpg http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7128/dsc07146i.jpg and the second grey hunter with mark of the wulfen. http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5066/dsc07150t.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/8298/dsc07153tq.jpg And a WIP pic of the five marines I'm painting for the moment ... http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9973/dsc07162f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Masariel Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nice work here mate.. ..indeed..I'd use the wulfen heads on those dudes with meele.. I can't see a rabid werewolf aiming and shooting around..can you? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerre Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 I don't know what happend to me tonight, but I actually found some time to paint and it went so good, I pushed through and finished these five models. http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/3439/dsc07170p.jpg The second wolf guard with powerfist and combi-melta http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/6023/dsc07172.jpg http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8485/dsc07175r.jpg The second long fang with missile launcher http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4589/dsc07176yx.jpg http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/3322/dsc07178g.jpg A grey hunter with bolter http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3093/dsc07180x.jpg http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/898/dsc07182n.jpg A grey hunter with bolt pistol and chainaxe http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/109/dsc07185x.jpg http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9338/dsc07187f.jpg And another grey hunter with bolter http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6633/dsc07189r.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/244/dsc07191i.jpg http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/852/dsc07192c.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think your painting skills are rocking, so I'm a bit thrown by the eye pupils. They're very "pin-prick". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I think your painting skills are rocking, so I'm a bit thrown by the eye pupils. They're very "pin-prick". I'm not confident enough to do it with a paintbrush. When I do the dot of white, I already mess up the flesh color and have to correct that. Let alone do a smaller dot of black within the white. Or two small dots of white left and right of a black dot. Maybe I should get a finer brush just for eyes. For the moment I do the eyes with a micro pen. I do believe this batch is already better than the previous ones. Althought I took the pictures from angels you can't really see it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I use a micro pen too (0.005 to be exact) and I think it works pretty well. It looks like you're making a stroke on the eyeball, causing a cat's eye sort of line to form, rather than just stabbing the eyeball, which would make more of a dot. The right eye (his right) on the 2nd to last image looks like it's a pretty good size. But I agree.. using a brush used to drive me nuts. My hands have a tendency to shake more and more these days. Trick I've found is to cramp up your hand into a fist as though you were knocking on a door, then use that grip with a pen. Feels like there's more minute muscle control.

I don't feel that unsteady hands are a problem, more that I cannot get a fine point to my brush to deliver just the right amount of paint. It's always either to much paint, not enough paint or an uneven dot ... I did try this batch with a stroke as I thought that would be easier to do than a dot in the centre. I'll try some more dots next time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 I started on my terminators today and finished the first one: the wolf guard in terminator armour with chainfist, storm bolter and cyclone missile launcher. I haven't glued his head on as it will be simpler to paint it seperately. I like the irony of using the one-eyed head for the terminator with the most shooting power :D http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8948/dsc07202e.jpg http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/9154/dsc07205z.jpg The missile launcher is magnetized so I can play with or without. In case I play without, I have magnetized another bit to hide the magnet on his armour. http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5947/dsc07206m.jpg I also got the seeker of the slain done. This one didn't need assembly. I haven't glued him to the base yet, so I can paint the figure and the base seperately. http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/4812/dsc07208i.jpg http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9452/dsc07211sm.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 And here's the second wolf guard terminator with wolf claw and combi-melta http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/5437/dsc07214p.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/926/dsc07216u.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/5183/dsc07218x.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirax Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'll be honest, when I saw your test model, I was a little sceptical, but you've pulled it off really well ;) good job! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I still have to decide what color/chapter to paint the broken marine helmet :) I think it's fairly obvious... it begins with U and ends with ltramarine.

Quixus Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Normally I'd agree, but the blue color won't have much contrast to the armor's trim. So for color I'd say: Blood Angels or Imperial fists. Another thought crossed my mind, make it a white Veteran Smurf helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerre Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 A small update ... I assembled the fourth terminator today, the wolf guard with combi-plasma and power weapon ... http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1360/dsc07444k.jpg http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5286/dsc07453l.jpg http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6617/dsc07447g.jpg It was my first combi-plasma conversion and I cut a bit too much off the bolter. I covered my mistakes up with a wolf skull. I think the final result is still ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another thought crossed my mind, make it a white Veteran Smurf helmet. I like it that you keep it simple: painting red, yellow or white. It's not like those are easy colors to paint :lol: But those three colors are already in my scheme. So maybe something that is completely different like dark angels green ? It would fit with the space wolf vs dark angel grudge thing ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
