tyrannosaurus Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 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. Aspiring Champ NM1 NM2 Blast Master NM3 NM4 NM5 The black and pink squad that I posted up a while ago 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Loken Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Cool man, love the Rhino especially. Did you work from a White basecoat? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/#findComment-2774307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 dude those look GERAT! i love em! ;) Thanks mate that means a lot to me I know they're a bit rough but I spent ages on them 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 ]. Glad you like the rhino, got two more to do - hate painting tanks though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/#findComment-2774336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Fair play sir they're cracking marines. I'm with you on the tank painting, I had to paint tanks for BA cos they're awesome, but my god it was tedious. Can't wait to see more.

tyrannosaurus Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 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: Horny Marine Angry Marine Hoses connected to his eyes marine Smurf Marine1 Smurf Marine 2 Pony Tail Marine Gimp Mask Marine AC with PF AC with PS Group Shot Army Shot C & C welcome :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/#findComment-2917993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 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.

tyrannosaurus Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 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...

DarkMark Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yep there is nowt wrong with old retro pastels on a Slaaneshi model. You could try giving the pink a very thin blue wash to add a little more definition. Good luck with the big stuff!

The.Latros.Sacrum Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Great models mate. I really like the daemonic blue skin you've done, i think it contrasts greatly with the pinks!

plasman Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 A very light wash of Leviathan Purple + Baal Red could do wonders IMO. :yes: Yes, I love the smell of GW's washes in the morning ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/#findComment-2920237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultzhoffen Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 A wash would do wonders to bring out detail. At the moment they seem half done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/#findComment-2927745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo1023 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Have to say the green on those guys works really well with the pink was unexpected! I have one question however... Why are the doors on the rhino stuck on the wrong way round? (sorry if that has already been asked/ answered/ explained) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230785-my-emperors-children/#findComment-2929470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dakath Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 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!
