Brian W Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yes, those pads are FW Terminator pads. I've always considered the FW pads too small for Terminators, and considering most of my power armour guys are little "bulkier" than usual, I think they fit well with them. There is 1 out of the 5 pads that I don't like, but the others are great. Haha - I normally have the same policy :D Never liked working with metal parts, and resin is just so annoyingly brittle and un-glueable (what a word...). I have ordered a load of the plastic UM symbol pads from the the SM Commander sprue, and these work well as standard pads, but the FW ones do have some nice details. /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 So... I played around with a bunch of Space Marine parts tonight, and this is what came out of it. http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt63/Brianworning/TomeWarden.jpg Not exactly an Ultramarine - or then again ... I'm playing around with some ideas to use the new stuff I've made (this guy, dual heavy flamer, the Dreadnoughts, etc.) in combination with the red colour of the Son of Orar above (combined with the crisp white). This dude will be treated with the Emperor's Holy Brush tomorrow night after work, and if it turns out the way I imagine, I may change my Ultramarines v.3. project slightly. /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Made some progress on this dude. Needs some static grass on the base. Another model has deep-striked onto my painting table, so this fellow will soon be joined by a comrade. I need to do a few more models before I can really explain my thoughts about this project, but I can say that these Marines will replace the Ultramarines under my Codex Revision Army Project. The picture has been taken today at night-time under artifical light, so the red colour seems more "flat" than in real life. Will try to take a new picture in daylight tomorrow. http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt63/Brianworning/TomeWarden3.jpg /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian W Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Photo taken under daylight conditions. the gold colour is apparantly very difficult to catch on a photo, but after a few attempts I got one which is very close to the original model. http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt63/Brianworning/TomeWarden4.jpg /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Funny, I just stumbled on the updated Invictus Rules in WD from back when the Tyranids were released for 4th. ed. Your model's a great representation of the 1st. Captain. ´The rest is really great as well, if you want your marines blinged out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian W Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's holiday in Singapore today and since it has been raining all day long, I used the day to complete my (possibly) third addition to the "golden army project TBN". I'm not sure whether ALL models should have golden armour, or if only Veterans, Terminators, Dreadnoughts, Command Squad, and characters (50% of the army) should look like that while Tacs, etc. should look like this guy below that I just finished. Suggestions? http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt63/Brianworning/AegisImperator1.jpg By the way, the only vehicles will be Dreadnoughts and drop pods. /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I think the red would contrast wonderfully with the gold. I've always preferred to have the rank-and-file in a basic colour scheme and the HQ & Elite in something... more. The army can still be very cohesive and you get more opportunities to add extra variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 I finished my Hurrricanought today while listening to the first few chapters of the Horus Rising saga on audio book.

onipunk Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I like how the red and gold looks, you should stick with all gold for the veteran units, though. Nice paintjobs all around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian W Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 This is a thing people can do with dreddies? :ph34r: Not really :lol: The weapon configuration is not legal codex-wise, but I love the idea of a Dreadnought bristling with guns! I'm going to use it at around base cost (105 pts) in friendly games. It loses it's powerfist in order to gain the second hurricane bolter, which I guess doesn't exactly make it the most competitive Dreadnought out there :) /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassWave Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Very nice stuff ;) My only complaint is that Cassius does not have enough bionics, he's suppposedly more machine now than man. I guess you could assume that its all under the armor, but showing some more modifications would have been nice too. Btw, the hurricanought is crazy!

Brian W Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 @Ragnarok: thanks :) @BassWave: well, in fact the Chaplain wasn't originally made as Cassius. He was made for a Dark Angel project which never amounted to more than a 10-man Tactical squad (and him). Later I then inducted him into the Ultramarines army because I liked the model and felt it was a shame not to use him. Since I made him with a combi-flamer and bionics (although admittedly way too few), I thought he'd make an acceptable Cassius. @Mr. Malevolent: a few weeks ago, gold was actually the worst colour I could think of painting. Definately my least favorite colour! Could never really get it right. Then I took out a half assembled Sanguinary Guard, just for practice purposes, and began toying around with gold colours. The result was pretty satisfying, so I thought I'd use it on some models I'd actually plan to play with. It starts, as most of my models do, with 1) an Adeptus Battle Grey undercoat. 2) Then it gets a 50/50 mix of bestial brown/tin bits. 3) Then they get a 50/25/25 bestial brown/tin bits/shining gold. 4) Then a 33/33/33 bestial brown/shining gold/boltgun metal. 5) thinned down gryphonne sepia with a dash of brown ink. 6) 2 x 50/50 gryphonne sepia/black wash. 7) light wet-brush 50/50 bestial brown/shining gold. 8) and finally a very very light dry-brush of chainmail. /BW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why... *cough* What I actually wanted to say: Thank you for that picture. I bought a box of Grey Knights "looong" ago and so far had no idea how to paint them - I couldn't paint silver for my life - but now I'm inspired. I hope you don't mind if I steal that colour scheme.
