Midnightmare Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Thanks very much guys, I appreciate all the comments! I am enjoying being back working on these guys, hopefully it’s showing. Here is the next guy - ”I, brother Vaustus of the Jaws of Doom, unleash the fury of the Great Angel upon xeno and heretic alike. Kill, kill, kill them all!” I still need to weather the Chapter symbol! Doh!

Yosef Hausakluif Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) Bringing me back to 29 years ago and reverently flipping through the tomes that were the 1st 40k rulebook and space marine compendium and what not. Great execution of a ‘classic’ scheme brought into the present and done with taste so as not to look too garish or cartoonish. All the details are on point and looks GREAT! I know it may be easy and quick to you at this point; but I am mystified by your weathering painting style. It’s not too much, but gives the grimy battle scarred look of power armor well.

Midnightmare Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments! I had a blast painting this guy in particular, as I hope shows :tu: @Yosef here is a breakdown of how I do my more weathered red as seen on my newer Flesh Eaters; I do use some oop GW colours though but apparently Instar do copies of them which I will get once my supply dries up! 1. Black undercoat 2. Mechrite Red (oop GW colour) 3. Agrax Earthshade wash 4. Reapply Mechrite Red in downward streaks and prominent edges 5. Evil Sunz Scarlet applied the same way, leaving the Mechrite showing 6. Charadon Granite (oop GW) sponged on 7. Leadbelcher sponged on to a lesser degree 8. Runefang Steel to very edges of damage It’s not difficult really when you compare it to how better painters than me achieve results. I wanted something quick and easy for the table top that looks effective :tu: Majkhel and Aqui 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245078-flesh-eaters/page/25/#findComment-5575873 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Thanks Midnightmare! I’ll give it a try soon. I still have a pot of merchite red and it’s one of my favorites for a base. Look forward to your next model and thanks again for the recipe!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Here is the next one - The bloodstains on his chainbayonet are an excellent touch. How will you decorate his base? With the corpse of the enemy he just used the weapon on?

apologist Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Sublime – great individually, masterful en masse. Really enjoyable to pick out all the characterful details, none of which are so eye-catching that they distract from the overall effect.

Yosef Hausakluif Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Apologist said perfectly. I love how they are all posed and themed perfectly together as a squad; they almost have an eerie Deathly mechanical look all together as a squad. A giant evil malevolent Feeling/force emanates from the group shot all together they don’t have as individuals. Might be their helm positions and poses; all really add to this, with the overall weathered look and grisly trophy here and there.

Midnightmare Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Many thanks guys - very fine descriptions of them from you both, you are making me blush. I have had a blast with them, I really have. I did put them together with thoughts of how the squad would look as a cohesive unit; the poses and the trophies, even the details such as the chain blades and Blood Angel icons and vials, I have tried not to repeat them or go to over the top with them as it would have been very easy too. Glad I have got the balance just right! :tu: :tu: Cheers :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245078-flesh-eaters/page/25/#findComment-5584795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Thank you guys! @ Chaz - high praise indeed! Got to keep it grim. And dark!

Midnightmare Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Next up, Redemptor! These have really grown on me, and although it is a long way off completion, I have made a start on what will be one of two Dreadnought centre pieces of the army when I hopefully get to a Warhammer World when it opens with my Flesh Eaters :tu: Little tweak to the pose, I have used (stole!) the idea of the dead Dreadnought on the base and took it off my Death Co one as it was too big on there - Had some fun with Sanguinary Guard wings “Help!” Still a way to go, but progress!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Whose mangled corpse does the Redemptor's power fist hold? A Chaos Space Marine once interred in a Helbrute, who has been freed (read: brutally torn) from his Chaos-tainted prison?

Yosef Hausakluif Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Sweet! Looking forward to seeing that Redemptor come together in your style. I see lots of red gore and torn cabling in the future of that disinterred CSM !
