My Emperor's Children


Recommended Posts

As a long time lurker and occasional poster on people's minis I thought it was time to put up some of my own. Hopefully this will inspire me to finish my army. Will start a WIP thread as well.

Always loved noise marines since my older brother bought 'the one with the guitar' when I was little.

The purple and pink ones are the latest ones, the black and pink ones are the first minis I painted ever. The ones I'm painting up at the moment are pink and green to differentiate squads. I haven't really set myself a completion date as I don't game anymore [40k died a death at my old gaming club with Warmachine and haven't gotten around to gaming at my new place].

I know these aren't the best you've ever seen but they are the best that I can do - not gonna strip any as I want a record of how my skills have improved [if at all :P].

Anyway here you are, let me know what you think.

The rhino - can you tell this is the first one I ever made? Pretty much all of the doors are on the wrong way around, tried to cover up the mistakes with some creative modelling :P

dude those look GERAT! i love em! ;)

 

Thanks mate that means a lot to me :Elite: I know they're a bit rough but I spent ages on them :FA:

 

Cool man, love the Rhino especially. Did you work from a White basecoat?

 

Thanks dude - Yeah white basecoat, two coats tentacle pink, then 50/50 white/tentacle on all the bits that wouldn't be in shade, then white edge highlights. First couple were worked up from black but I ended up needing about 8 coats of pink to get the effect I wanted [a really bright 'Hello Kitty' pink :HS:]. Glad you like the rhino, got two more to do - hate painting tanks though :HQ:

Nothing really new but based them and got hold of a better camera for some HD pics - lighting still a bit dodgy as the winter sets in here in good old Blighty :lol:

Army Shot

C & C welcome :D

Cheers for the replies chaps :D Keeps me motivated to finish these.

 

Solid TT standard here, the group shot is nice. I like the small touches like the 'nette heads on the transport.

 

I don't like the yellow on the new squad, maybe swap for purple or red?

 

Hope, and like, to see more EC.

 

Yeah I agree, yellow didn't come out as I planned - was thinking of doing hazard stripes on the tubing but I get 'Liberace Hand' when it comes to painting so that might come at a later date - glad you think I achieved TT standard :D

 

I like these.....they hurt my eyes to look at....proper slaanesh.

 

Cheers dude! The bright pink isn't to everyone's taste but I like it and it looks pretty good on the tabletop. I like the old school clashing colours style for Slaanesh.

 

Defiler and another Rhino up next, hate painting vehicles...

I would have to agree with Plasman and Schultz, though I would say they do look good right now, but a light wash would bring the detail so much. I would recommend finding a spare marine and trying it out to see if you like it or not, but good on you so far! Can't wait to see more!
