No Foes Remain Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Looking pretty good so far, loving the crisp line between the two colours. The bolt pistol looks a bit funny with a drum mag, but thats my only problem with it. /Ventris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Thanks, I'm still working on this, it's crazy how many imperfections u find when blowing up the pics lol. The bolt pistol with high capacity mag is featured in their entry IA9, 'Spectris pattern' i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Very nice stuff, great job on the GS work on the legs it's looking really clean. :huh: The magazine is a really nice touch I like that. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I love he way he is done, i think that softer blends would even more bring out the awesomness of this fig, but he is great!!! I want to see more!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I think the ermine cape is a little too much, in that, there's not enough of it. If it were a full cloak or similar, no problem, but it looks a little silly when it's that small. Other than that, excellent face, excellent armor. Though, that purple line on his face, is that a scar, a wound, or a shadow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Crazy smooth job on the legs. Any tips on how to get my guys to look like that? :mellow: Great overall. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Crazy smooth job on the legs. Any tips on how to get my guys to look like that? :mellow: Great overall. - Natanael Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's Huron's head, with a scar? Looking super sweet dude, I wish I could get my legs that smooth. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 cheers, i used a small file and knife to scrape the legs once the GS was ready. As for the 'cape' its not really a cape or cloak as such, i just faniced doing it rather than having prayer cloths and the like. I got the idea from the Emperor vs Horus pic, both the emperor and sanguinius have have pelts on their armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, he's actually wondering who parked a rhino in his space.... again The head is indeed that of huron and the scar is part of the sculpt, i just emphasised it to look fresh. I removed the pelt from his backpack and will change the pics in my next update. The rest of the squad are underway, i may show their current state during a break. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I actually liked the lion pelt. It just required more sense of motion to look right, I think. But in regards to the model, she's a beaut. Your Novamarines were very professional, but the Marines Errant are begging for attention. I'm actually thinking of stealing elements of their color scheme for my DIY, it's so damn fine. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 yeah it is a nice colour scheme, I wasnt sure about the ME previously as their colours were the same as their sire (Eagle Warriors) it would be easy to mistake them for each other. I'm gonna leave the pelt for my captain. thanks alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I love the model as it is, but i think i found what messes up the pelt, need a VERY LIGHT wash on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander S. Caesare Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 "Seriously, guys? Seriously? I just washed the damned thing!" Very nice. He's got a lot of stuff on his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Still got quite abit i want to do with this guy before i declare him finished but heres a taster http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10090.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10088.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10089.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10086.jpg The caption for the sgt actually reads - "C'mon guy's, this :) aint funny anymore" after finding yet another lapdancer in his meditation cell.

Natanael Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Looks great so far. How do you reposition the arms to get a bolter held like that? And what arms do you use? My guys usually have a CCW in one hand and the bolter in one since I havent bothered trying to get the arms like this. But it looks really nice... - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 These might be some of the most realistic true-scale marines I've yet seen. Good job sir. But scribbles are needed for the purity seals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Kanithon Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 The Marines Errant are meant to be white and blue aren't they? saying that, i really like the halved silver/ blue scheme you have going on =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 The arms i used for the bolter marine are termie assault arms, thunder hammer and storm shield. I cut the right arm above the elbow and turned the lower arm inward, i had to shave the joint to an angle before re connecting it. There was abit of a gap because i did it roughly but some GS sorted it. the hands are from PA bifz. The left arm didnt need adjusted on that one but have on the others i've done. Do plenty of dry runs to get the positioning right. It was my fist attempt. All insignia is to be added, including the purity seals, i'm just wondering if i should buy custom decals or put my faith in FW... :cuss I'm looking to get smaller bases aswell, 30mm perhaps. The Marines Errant were blue and white but this seems to have been changed to the sliver and blue i've pained them in. See the IA9 book or search online.

Grotsmasha Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hey man, for insignia's I reacon hit Lamenter up for some of his GS moulds, it may take some looking but there's a vid on his websie Master of the Forge. For bases, definitly recommend 30mm bases, it's what i use for my TS marines, here's a size comparison pic, As you can see there's still a distinct size difference to Termi bases. I get mine from ebay store Big Lemon UK in lots of 20 for a rather acceptable price. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snejk Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 The Marines Errant are meant to be white and blue aren't they? saying that, i really like the halved silver/ blue scheme you have going on =] White is the heraldic color for white metals such as iron/silver etc, so i imagine one could be bold and paint them metal/blue and still say they are "white" and blue. But what do I know. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
