Brother Melice Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I love the red striping on the raider, and hooray for magnetizing stuff..! I do not dig the cool white thought, tint it into a warm shade and it will look much better! great progress though! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238118-ultramarines-strike-force-malleus/page/2/#findComment-2897927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
roooooot Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Blurgh, forget the check the polarization of both hatches on side. Although the sponson works fine in both position, the door gets weird. I lost a magnet inside the body and it clamped onto one of the other placed magnets I suspect that that is causing the problem. Obligatory "how do magnets work" joke here.

roooooot Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Put the LR on hold while I wait for the Crusader/Redeemer bits. Picked this little fella up. I was hoping I could customize him a bit more but I didn't have the bits I wanted to achieve the pose I had in mind so he's a pretty straight build. Lots of red and gold, that's how you know he be runnin' tings.

Megapope Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Looking good there! Apart from the choice of weapons (I went with claw and storm bolter) our commanders are going to be fairly identical methinks... What's the shape coming out the side of his base?

roooooot Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 I picked up the GW basing kit over the weekend, it's one of the brass plates in that kit. I bent it up and stained it with some inks.

roooooot Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Ah cool. Whats the kit like, any good? I like it a lot. It's just a big pack of instant debris strewn bases. Lots of skulls and smashed helmets and garbage thrown everywhere and all that stuff. Plus the etched brass pieces, and two tubs of slate in two different sizes. Fun stuff all around Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238118-ultramarines-strike-force-malleus/page/2/#findComment-2905771 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megapope Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Chappy Smashface McKillington. I should probably start moving stuff to a proper hall of honour thread at some point. Looking good. I should get me a chaplain one of these days. I did me up a HoH thread, but weirdly I've found that people on that forum are way more nitpicky and tend to offer advice that's a bit condescending more than on here. No idea why, maybe it's just my impression and being grumpy on pain medication. :cuss In any case I don't tend to update it very much. Maybe you'll do better with yours.

Oh memories. :lol: 5 years later they're just a memory now; but its fantastic to see yours painted this well. Love the assualt squad, def my favorite, methinks. I like my highlighting a lot more on that squad, gotta do some work on the weathering. In retrospect I should've started in black and filled it in with a metallic. Live and learn, and all that. But thanks! Good to see Pullo and Vorenus featuring. ;) Where else would I turn for some naming inspiration? I don't feel there's any need to rip any other names from that show.

roooooot Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 The Hammer of Ichar, pre-weathering. Noticed a few things I wanna fix up as well in the pics. Magentized the Crusader/Redeemer sponsons as well as the vox antenna and side hatches. Didn't bother with the front turrent or hatches, really didn't see a need to it. Also, I feel like I have been working on this :) thing for like ever.

Havokas Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why does mud come out of your tanks exhaust pipes and not soot? needs to be a much much darker if i not black.
