MagicMan Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r238/Machinepriest/Hobby/Fourbrothers800.jpg I'm not that confident with my painting skills and this is actually the first time I'm posting a finished model online. Lol what? Your painting skills rock. Keep the sharks rolling... Well swimming.

dublindawg Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 These are by far some of the best painted marines I have seen on here. Simple paint job that's not hard to replicate for an entire army. Can't wait to see how you do up some Command figures.

Urb Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have to agree. Great example of weathering and exceptional quality for the TT. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2771945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Bravo, brother! A MK4 was asked for and a MK4 was received! I've gotta say you have given me high expectations for your future work (no pressure)! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2772484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinepriest Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 Just a quick update. I'm just about done with two more marines. Working on a Plasma and Meltagun at the moment. I painted the sand on these bases different since I wasn't that satisfied with my previous technique. Problem is, I now have to redo the bases for the three previous marines... Something I'm not looking forward to. Not sure how I will do this to be honest as they all have static grass on them which means I can't just repaint them. Damn this is gonna be hard work :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2775076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machinepriest Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 My first minimum size squad is complete! :lol: Yeah yeah, I know you can only field special weapons in 10-man squads. But I'm getting there! Slowly... I'm quite happy with the contrast the plasma coils gives the squad. It really pops (Literally)... Magnetized special weapons: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r238/Machinepriest/Hobby/Plasma-Melta800.jpg 5 Violent bastards: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r238/Machinepriest/Hobby/5Mansquad01800.jpg New bases: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r238/Machinepriest/Hobby/5Mansquad02800.jpg Very happy with how the new bases look.

BassWave Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Very nice work :) Btw I just had a great idea on how to make corvus pattern helmets look more ferocious. The way I see it, a marine issued with this helmet would take advantage of the fact that the helmet comes to a point, prefect for impaling enemies with your face! So what I would do is sharpen the beak a little and splatter blood all over the helmet Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2776310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nice squad, there. Can't wait to see more. ;) What mark is the sarge going to be? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2776348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 These Space Sharks are superb, the three shades of grey really complement each other with the lightest grey giving them a sharkey feel without going over the top. Plus the forgeworld parts take them to another level. Despite the Space Sharks fluff sounding like it was written by a 5 year old girl [no pupils, float around in space, strike without warning, fondness for tuna etc.] these are double hard. Nice work mate. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2776365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinepriest Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 What mark is the sarge going to be? I'm thinking Errant Armour for the Sergeant. Maybe a skull hanging from his belt. High collar and the beefy shoulders from the Company Champion that's apparently part of the Errant Armour according to IA:10. Will probably do some conversion work on him as well, making the legs look a bit different from the MK VII Aquila legs. Thanks a lot people ^_^ Glad you like 'em. Keeps me motivated!

worrywort Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Really nice work ! Love the grey and the bases. Have you planned some tattoos in the armor ? And will you mix some differents bitz of armors ? Like MKII shoulder pads with MKV armor for an exemple ?

BassWave Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Lol, thats a ridiculous idea, BassWave. I just read helsreach. Grimaldus, the black templar reclusiarch , dealt quite a few killing blows to orks by "using his head". Just thought a particularly blood thirsty space shark would do the same, especially with the aid of a sharpened corvus helm :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230406-carcharadons/page/2/#findComment-2778104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Oh my..... these are some ace Carcharodons! I hate finding threads like this, I could have an idea in my head for the perfect Chapter to work on next and then this comes along and BAM! I no longer think of that project but now going for the Charcarodons..... if only I could afford the FW books. Cannot wait to see more!
