Metal Apostle's White Scars thread

Been really lazy with my posting! Since last time i've completed about 1000 points of stuff, including some infantry, two land raider variants, rhinos, attackbikes etc.... but sadly you won't be seeing them in this post. I've had no photoshop lately and haven't been able to adjust/quickly edit/reduce my pics. Soon, i promise!

What i would like to share with you guys though is a set of heads i've sculpted for the White Scars. The plan is to have a set of five asian/mongolian style space marine heads that i can have made in resin and used more and more commonly throughout my army. These have longer, asian looking features; grimmer facial features; topknots and the occasional Fu-Man-Chu; and of course... those famous ritual scars! They've already been used in that 1000pt batch i mentioned earlier, so you'll see them painted soon enough. For now, check out the greens i've made.

I'm really glad to see you back mate :tu: Epic work as always! By the way, to replace Photoshop, why don't you try out GIMP? It's free, open-source and a really powerful tool (not the exact equivalent of PS, but it does things very well and has very similar tools/functions).

 

Cheers,

Greetings! So I'm back for another round of LPC and I've vowed (Holy Emperor's teeth, it's late Feb already!) to paint two squads of fully magnetised Land Speeders. With the recent Dark Angels releases it seems GW has upped the ante on chapter details on their space marines; not wanting to be beat in this department without a fight, I've worked on adding more talismans, more pelts and other White Scars iconography to really give these sky chariots a bit more character.

Here goes:

The Speeders themselves

The Details

The Crew

The Bases

The reason why the assembly stage took so long!! wallbash.gif

On the point of the guns.. I've made the heavy flamers from the IG sentinel kit and built the typhoon missiles to be chin-mounted so as to simplify the design of it all. I still have six more chin-mounted heavy bolters to complete in the next few days... after this and a bit of sand, i'll be ready to spray!

Wish me luck.

Huzzah for those who join late thumbsup.gif

I must say your vow is quite a bit more challenging than mine, though! Good luck to you, and after looking at your other models (especially that command squad drool.gif ) I know these speeders will end up being outstanding!!!

There's not much that beats seeing White Scars done well.

 

Great stuff! You have got them looking like they should. I used hate seeing White Scars in (modern) White dwarfs. Look loads of bikes, loads of normal space marines on bikes.... Put your shades on lads because these boys are bright, bright and clean.....

 

These remind me of the Legend that was Paul Sawyer and his White Scars army from back in the 90's.

 

The Mongol shields and all the little details really make these work. The dirty white with battle damage really adds to the image of Marines who live for the hunt.

 

Good luck with all those speeders and weapons.

 

Great, great, great work.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the support guys! I don't want to wear the banner of shame either!!

@ Yak, i know right?! They ones in WD are far to clean and codex be White Scars. True Chogorians are born in the saddle. And don't get me started on the herasy of that Scar dreadnaught furious.gif

A quick verbal update, I've finished the bases and I have the additional 6 heavy bolters on hand now. I'll try build them tomorrow night sometime!

Full speed ahead.

Update #2

Only 3 days to go!! So far behind!

I'll keep this one short, but here's where i'm at so far... Only just done with all the white and blacks so the plus is that it's all downhill from here, the minus is that there's still so much to do.

Hopefully post again in a few days time and good luck to those still completing their challenges. Now back to the painting table...

Less than a day left! Since yesterday, I've finished all the metallics and currently finishing up the browns. The plan now is to complete all the transfers and reds tonight with the weathering and basing tomorrow.... so tired... but so, so close...

"Guns... lots of guns"
