Raphiel Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 After quite some time of collecting, modelling and painting I can finally field a 1,500 point army from my own chapter, the Crimson Justicars. I still have to write an IA for these guys... it shall be done! As I collected a lot of inspiration from these boards, I figured it's about time I tried to give some back. And since I completed the first stage of my army, what better time to show some pics than now? My goal was to complete a decent looking bunch of tabletop quality space marines. I hope you enjoy them! First up, my terminator librarian. This one is still the old metal version. Lovely model to paint! http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0465e.jpg My custom kitbashed librarian http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0467.jpg Sternguard squad http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0471.jpg Razorback, Sternguard transport http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0473.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0474.jpg First tactical squad with Rhino http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0475.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0476.jpg Second tactical squad with Rhino http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0477.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0478.jpg Counts-as Telion http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0479.jpg With scout sniper squad http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0480.jpg Assault squad http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0481.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0482.jpg Close up on the jump pack exhausts http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0484.jpg Two Land Speeder Typhoons http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0485.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0486.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0488.jpg Two Vindicators: Invictus and Indomitus http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0489.jpg http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0490.jpg Total army shot (including poor lighting!) http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy45/AzzY_NL/IMGP0495.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238220-crimson-justicars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissah Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I really like the whole army, nice colours and the Librarian is looking like he is casting some sort of power with his glowing hand :D Also Telion looks like a beast ;) Edited September 11, 2011 by Vissah Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238220-crimson-justicars/#findComment-2872782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A17roolz Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Really nice mate! Loving the smooth, crisp, paint work and the colour scheme is tops :lol: May I say as a little side note, I too had the idea of using the missile marine's arm, champion's torso and glowing eyes for my Librarians... great minds think alike eh? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238220-crimson-justicars/#findComment-2872819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphiel Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Very slick looking army there! I am also curious about where the scout heads are from. The scout heads are from Pig Iron. This sprue to be precise: http://www.pig-iron-productions.com/hd6-he...prues-p-16.html I really didn't like the original scout heads, so I searched for an alternative and discovered this sprue. They fit great! Edited September 12, 2011 by Raphiel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238220-crimson-justicars/#findComment-2873337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Awesome army. Definitely given me a bit of inspiration to get my DIY finished. :nuke: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238220-crimson-justicars/#findComment-2873524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphiel Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the positive feedback everyone! Definitely given me more motivation to complete some more units for this army. Currently I have a dreadnought on the painting table. Given my record, I will probably finish him in about 4 months.... :nuke: Once he is finished I'll put a picture up!

Raphiel Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 I really love that red! What colors did you use? I must know! Considering you've posted this question five times, I'll answer the question! :P The red really is very simple. It's just a couple of coats of watered down Scab Red, with the recesses in the armor touched with a Badab Black wash. Then highlighted with a 1/1 mix of Blood Red and Scab Red, with (some) final highlights of 2/1 Blood Red and Scab Red. Hope this helps!

Megapope Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Love it, your army inspires me even though Im a true blue Ultramarines painter. So much so that I've ordered the same heads for my scouts and am going to try an inverse version of that awesome glowy effect you did on your assault marine backpack, using orange to yellow. :( Edited September 15, 2011 by Megapope Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/238220-crimson-justicars/#findComment-2876202 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fellow hobbyists sharing ideas, that was the whole point of this thread. :) I think an orange glow would do a blue colored marine much more justice indeed, considering the contrast in colors. That's the same reason why I opted to go for a blue glow on my red colored marines. I'm curious how they'll turn out.
