Molloch Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 This is the first time I've actually posted in the Hall of Honour... it's quite an exciting time! So my LPC Vow was to build and paint a 10-man Devastator Squad, a Razorback for them (for when they Combat Squad up obviously) and a 10-man Boarding Assault squad outfitted with some of the IA9 stratagems... So this is where I'm up to: The Devastators and their Razorback are done, as are 4 of the Boarding Marines. I have almost finished the next 3 (see my WIP log for images): I am finding these guys quite hard-going despite the shields being awesome. I'm not sure why... anyway they look cool when finished! And then: Devastator Squad Epheus Sergeant Epheus himself, and the business end of his heavy weapons, And perhaps my favourite Marine ever - he looks totally Badabass (arr har!) And finally, their Razorback. I still haven't settled on a name, but Calibrous Maximus seems oddly appropriate... A quick close-up of the twin-linked Assault Cannons. This is basically just a cut-and-shut job on the Forge World heavy bolter Razorback turret with plastic Terminator assault cannon barrels and some big-ass drum mags from their Deimos Predator...

Isiah Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Minotaurs look awesome when painted well. Yours are awesome sauce. I've gotta set some of those shields - they look rock hard. The razr is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 :angry: ;) This is top notch work Molloch. It makes me want to put a squad together just by looking at them... How'd you do the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molloch Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks :tu: I picked up the FW Deimos Predator but I wanted to spread the bits around slightly, so that's where the front plate is from. The Razorback turret was just a case of clipping the muzzles from the heavy boltes and delving into my bits box for a coupleof plastic assault cannons, which I snipped off just behind what I call the 'motor', just in front of where the Terminator's hand is. It took a bit of blu-tak work to get then lined up properly, the I just added the drum mags to the sides where some of the 'techy bits' on the sides of the heavy bolters were. Liquid greenstuff to fill any gaps et voila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well, it works! Bravo. The bronze looks almost non-metallic to me... What's your recipe? (if you don't mind sharing) :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 excellent work through out! I agree, the paint looks awesome. And the razorback rocks! The front plate and the turret make it really unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molloch Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Thanks fellas (or indeed ladies if such ye be!) Captain Semper - it's a basecoat of Tin Bitz, overbrushed with Dwarf Bronze then Shining Gold and finally drybrushed Mithril Silver for that burnished effect. Quick, dirty, requires a large brush but I am quite proud of the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 And so you should! It's a great effect! Interestingly you have avoided verdigris... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molloch Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah... My marines were just gold marines before they became the Minotaurs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 And perhaps my favourite Marine ever - he looks totally Badabass (arr har!) Where is his bolter from? Is it one of the Forge World ones? Very nice Minotaurs. I love the boarding shields, might have to get a set for myself soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 YES! Terminators ... 'nuff said :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molloch Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 And perhaps my favourite Marine ever - he looks totally Badabass (arr har!) Where is his bolter from? Is it one of the Forge World ones? Very nice Minotaurs. I love the boarding shields, might have to get a set for myself soon. Thanks dude - the bolter is from Marneus Calgar's Honour Guard, in fact. Nice use of Badabass :blush: I have the final 3 guys for the Boarding Squad basecoated and almost finished, so while time is running out I should get them finished...
