Excessus Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So I have converted some Rubric marines... One of them has a dead SW on his base, and now I am wondering, how do you paint their shoulders? I know they are quite colourful, but what to paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Hawk Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 So I have converted some Rubric marines... One of them has a dead SW on his base :) Seriously, if you have a SW opponent, then use his heraldry :) . If not, then I recommend the A B D E G L or M companies, as they are bright colours that stand out against the blue of the Sons/Puppehs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessus Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Well, his buddy is already complete. It just took me a week! :) My painting is...slow and purposeful... http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4866/dsc0237xah.jpg http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/1423/dsc0238cj.jpg A squad of five, and it's going to take me a month more... *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 A Rubric Marine with a Chainsword? This is blasphemy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 A Rubric Marine with a Chainsword? This is blasphemy! Then you would hate the Space Wolf Omnibus (chainswords) or Battle of the Fang (power swords) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Actually I loved those. :P I was just sarcastically referencing how the Rubric Marines aren't necessarily the best choice for CC in tabletop.(Or so I've been told.) To be honest I was expecting someone to reply with "This is Prospero!" It sort of flows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 I knew the chainsword would be controversial, lol Don't count out their mighty ONE attack each! :P I pondered putting halberds or glaives(spell correction wanted this as laxatives, lol) on them, but since they are basically made from leftovers I had in my bitsbox I was a bit limited in my options...

Ah-a-nothepsis Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Rapid firing and then assaulting is always pretty effective :tu: I say go for the halberds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonny Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I really like the paintjob though! well done, and well worth the time and effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narse Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah, I like it too... I don't think i'd have the patience for that painting style the way know how too paint it. I must admit I like it better then mine in quite a few ways. a tutorial might be in order ;) i'm interested in the white highlights on the helmet, and the gold coloration is a series of washes?

Excessus Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well, one of the reasons for chainswords is really the fact that I always liked the 2nd ed look of them, where they had "regular" equipment... I played Thousand Sons back then, pew pew http://i51.tinypic.com/2jdqf6d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Ooh purdy purdy! Sorry in terms of the game I'm a new Astartes and everything before the 4th edition is like the Heresy and the Great Crusade. But why, I could see why you would want that.

Cynic Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 From memory the chainsword is from the old plastic Khorne Berzerkers from 1995-1998. From the Stuff of Legends website: Plastic Berzerkers Jase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Very nice work Excessus. If it takes you a long time do to them then so be it. That's quality painting you've got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethrion Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 It also looks like GW are going back to the old Thousand Sons helmet look, as the ones on the thunderwolf cavalry bases look very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
