RagingChainsword Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 For Tiger Claws would I be painting the stripey paint job or the black/orange paint job (see 40kWiki)? I've never used green stuff before and I have little painting experience, so I would be incapable of crafting an Executioners marine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingChainsword Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry for the double post, but when I make lists would I be allowed to base them off of the Blood Angels codex as it is the one I already own and it saves me from buying a fresh codex when some might get an update soon...

dirge caster Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Feel free to use either paint scheme and any codex. For example, I'm using the space wolves codex as it represents the Raptors quite well. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingChainsword Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Okay, I'll take Tiger Claws please. Thanks all. :D EDIT: Just found out that Tiger Claws are Chaos lol noobie mistake. Am I still allowed to use normal SM models, or will I have to change to a different chapter? Just out of interest, are there any more spaces available? I have a few friends who may be intersted.

The Yak Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 There cant be much better in life than a Badab War Painting log!! Id like to congratulate everyone taking part in this challenge as they're always harder than they first seem. Here's a few special mentions to the guys showing the most progress. @Dirge caster: Great looking Raptors! You have got them looking damn fine, love the mud, the beakies and the extra ammo packs. @Kizzdougs: I think your Fire Angels are looking excellent, nice painting and the chapter symbols look ace. @Grotsmasha: Nice take on the Fire Hawks, love the MK III helmets and the back banner is a a nice touch. @1000heathens: Checked out your marines Malevolent the other day... Inspirational! Seriously loving Desba and Cheveyo. I always appreciate the details and it helps bring the squad alive. Cheers The Yak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I hate to admit it but i couldn`t make another deadline ;) Any chance i could try again this month, been bog down by finales and testing all months. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 kizzdougs, the Fire Angels are coming along well. Fantastic glowing eyes. Also, I just noticed the desert themed bases you did. Would you mind sharing how you achieved that look? Thanks mate. I've also been asked to make a tutorial for the 'glowing eyes', so I'll try to make a double tutorial on the weekend.

Dosjetka Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks mate. I've also been asked to make a tutorial for the 'glowing eyes', so I'll try to make a double tutorial on the weekend. But, but you've already done a tutorial for the eye glow... :tu: I really like the lenses. Mind sharing how you did that? Thanks mate. I love giving my space marines glowing eyes. I think it helps to make them look more intimidating. Recipe. Lenses. I started with a mechrite red coat. Next i painted blood red over the top. After that i just added golden yellow to the mix (about 2-3 stages) until I finished of with pure yellow. Glow. I simply used watered down blood red. After the first layer had dried I added a second. To finish up i took boltgun metal and neatened up the transition between the silver and the red. Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 But, but you've already done a tutorial for the eye glow... Thats true Ludovic (I'd forgotten :) ). I've previously listed the colours and techniques I use for painting eyes. I thought I might as well do a step by step tutorial with pics. Maybe I'll do a tutorial for how i painted my Fire Angels. That way I can cover several techniques and methods at the same time. I'll have to see how i go on the weekend :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grotsmasha Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hey all, sorry for the inactivity :P time and distraction (ETL anyone?) got the better of me. I've got four cruxes to paint then the first five are done. These two guys will be this months HQ choices; Time permitting a third HQ may make an appearance as penance for failure.

Hyaenidae Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 A few days late, but hey, better than never.... :sweat: Veteran Retaliator Gabriel Lorek, former Tribe-Champion of the Tiger Claws 3rd Company: Once a Company Champion of the Tiger Claws, Gabriel Lorek was one of the few individuals who actively fought against the assimilation of the Tiger Claws into their 'parent' Chapter. He refused to believe Huron's vow to rebuild the Tiger Claws, and did not trust his word to return their independence. Like the animal his 'true' Chapter was named after, Lorek felt caged, his troubled mind pacing, constantly on edge. The blood of Krohda, not Badab, pumped through his veins, and only grudgingly did he finally accept a position within the LXII Legion Auxillia commanding a Retaliator squad. Even there, at the edge of the Maelstrom, far away from the bastard king of Badab and neck-deep in pirate scum to slay, Lorek was consistantly aggresive and disrespectful to his fellow cousins, only held in check by Centurion Alaxindr, who was also a Tiger Claw and a man who he respected greatly. As the Badab War began, and dragged on through the years, Lorek's attitude worsened as he saw any chance for his beloved Chapter's rebirth slip through his fingers. By the time the LXII fought it's last battle on Badab Primaris, Lorek was no longer a leader of men, no longer gave orders, and cared not if his men followed him into hell. He wasn't even sure what he wanted any longer. All he knew was that his Chapter had been betrayed twice, first by the High Lords of Terra, then by Lugft Huron, and these poisonous thoughts consumed him entirely. When the vox waves were drowned with Huron's demise, Lorek suddenly realized he was free. The man his Chapter had sworn their existence to was dead, and with his death, Lorek no longer needed to continue down this path, didn't need to die. He could be free, could ensure that the Tiger Claws would never be forgotten, and have his revenge against the hated Imperium again and again. Without a word, he turned away from his despised cousins, and ran into the burning ruins of the Palace of Thorns, looking for a way to escape a fate he felt was never meant for him. Brother Alois, secretly as bitter as Lorek for being placed with the LXII who were a pack of misfits and outcasts in his opinion, was right behind him, poisoned by Lorek's brutal charisma. The legend that Lorek would create in the years to come, with his reborn and reimagined Claws, would prove a bane of the Northern Fringes of the Maelstrom...but that's another story...
