Desert Eagle Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Cheers guys! A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away i began painting my Desert Eagles DIY space marine chapter... and finally i can present you with a painted force. This is for a tournament held here in Umeå, in northern Sweden. It's a friendly tournament called the Fancy Fanatic (with alcholic bewerages allowed, catered meals and also a dresscode... so i hope i can squeeze into my suit :sweat: ) You´re encouraged to bring nice list. The limit is 1437p. I don't know why the odd number, but i guess it's to make people re-think their standard lists or something. So basicly this is (using codex: space wolves) Logan, a runepriest with chooser of the slain, 2 venerable dreadnaughts, a couple of TDA wolf guards, a uniy of grey hunters with an attached wolf guard riding in a rhino, a pair of speeders. 1436p Army http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/12Army.jpg HQ http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/1HQ.jpg Elites http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/4Elite.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/5Elite.jpg Troops http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/6Troops.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/7Troops.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/8Dedicatedtransport.jpg Fast attack http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/9FastAttack.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/10FastAttack.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p35/tjuven52/11FastAttack.jpg Thanks for looking, C&C is always appriciated.

Tyrannicide Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Such a complete and beautiful sight. This is what makes the B&C one of the best boards to go on. It's armies like this that inspire and I'm glad that I started this hobby nearly a decade ago.

blackbabyjesus Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 ^^^^^ what he said! This army has been a massive inspiration to me for a couple of years now, so much so I even started a small biker force of my own, extremely small as it turns out, in trying to emulate the detail and quality of your painting I managed to finish a mere 3 models! How you've managed to paint a whole army to this standard I'll never know! Kudos to you Desert Eagle. P.S. more bikes!!!

wokkers Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Watching you paint this army has been one of the highlights of being a B&C member, echoing what the esteemed Darth Potato expressed previously.

plasman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Painting white properly can be difficult, but the way you do it is simply flawless. :) Great work!

It's armies like this that inspire and I'm glad that I started this hobby nearly a decade ago. I was going to start my first post on the forums with a wip thread, but never mind :D I've been a lurker here for just over 2 years and have been following this thread. I was thinking of getting back into painting and your thread is what did it for me. Absolutely amazing work and very inspiring. P.S: I really liked your 1st captain :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247609-desert-eagles/#findComment-2998596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxx Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 the tournament sounds like fun! And no one will notice if your suit doesn't fit, because they will be blinded by the awesomeness that is that banner! Seriously, its outstanding (as is the entirety of your force).

Gop Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hey, nice painting there. It can be kinda difficult to paint mainly whites, but it turned out nicely. Are you adding more stuff? Many games are around 1750 so maybe another troops unit? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247609-desert-eagles/#findComment-3007623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatcrusade08 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 these are awe inspiring models, im amazed and somewhat envious of your talent. white can be really hard to pull off, yet youve done it perfectly, and the weathering is top notch Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247609-desert-eagles/#findComment-3008067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
