Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Alright, pictures of Bob, the Innocent Test marine:  His unchanged from my first attempt painting Battle for Macragge form: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j448/Dyingdutchman2/P1020696.jpg  Hand under-coated: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j448/Dyingdutchman2/P1020701.jpg  First basecoat: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j448/Dyingdutchman2/P1020708.jpg  Theoretically finished, but not for long: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j448/Dyingdutchman2/P1020709.jpg  After many attempts, Bob with transfers: http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j448/Dyingdutchman2/P1020714.jpg  I've decided that I should actually be moving to a darker color, rather than a lighter color, so I'm going to try a 2:1 Adeptus/Mechanicus Grey:Chaos Black mix and see what happens. I'm also going to make the highlights more visible, as they don't show up very well. Also, he's a test model, meaning I wasn't really bothering to clean up anything, as you can probably tell from the bolter and other locations. Oh, and I think I'm going to lighten the black. It seems to dark currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just took a jewelers saw to the mkIII boarding marine I was keeping around for conversions. He's donating his arms (and his bolter), for now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge caster Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just found this online and thought it may be useful. I particularly like the Minotaurs painting guide. Â http://fromthewarp.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/featured3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Is it cheating if I use the iron hands bionic bits? Â Â Lucked out my LGS still had the old paints 40 bucks later I should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Reporting in for the Fire Hawks first up, failed test marine, I was just using the paints I already had, i'll be going to GW on Fri for more appropriate colours. Secondly, the assembled Sternguard squad Bolters are seperate for painting Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperors Immortals Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Some nice progress there, ill be following this thread close :P Â Not sure the etiquette for this, as its not poaching, but just wanted to say you're all welcome to post wip or finished shots to the other Badab thread as well - its just a place for Badab modellers to post and its very relaxed, but different enough that we are two seperate threads. Â Also, wondering if down the track we might all throw in and have an open call to run a B+C Badab War online campaign? Youknow, post results of local games and Vassal matches, mostly cause i never get out of the house and a lot of people cant get a regular group together or havent played a campaign before but are interested. Â Anyway, the maelstrom grows dark....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 @ Brother Syth: Thanks!! The combi-plas are just FW bolters with cut down plasma pistols. Â Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Great looking minis Grotsmasha! Â My latest Fire Angel. I tried to keep this marine really simple. Usually I'm guilty of trying to squeeze as much detail on to my minis as possible. I'm fairly happy with the result, in fact i think he is probably my favourite so far. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN2168.jpg?t=1335761615 Â I'll probably add some more detail latter on.

chaplain belisarius Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 nice work guys...nice idea for a thread too! (i really need to decide on an army!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Oh boy.  This should be fun a quartered scheme with yellow and red/orange.  So a combat squad by when again?  You always do the varient scheme with quartered pads and black armour.  Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge caster Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Just wanted to add these 2 pages of inspirational, old-school Badab colour schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm much more interested in the Exorcists new scheme than the one presented in your post Dirge. However, that said, I don't doubt others will find that useful. :) Â BTW, pictures are going up tomorrow of Sergeant Balus. With the squad itself I'm going for an anti-tank vibe, so there will be a melta coming soon. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Alright, so I'm currently working on the Rhino for the Tac Squad. I think I've gotten a nice fluff list written up, so I just need to add fluff blurbs to the units. I'm basing my force off the Pyraeus assault force, partially because it gives me a good reason to have Loth and Culln in the same force. To that end I have nothing in the army that can't deploy via Drop Pod or teleport, as I figure that the Thunderhawks wouldn't have been able to land at that point in time. I may choose to expand it later using the Siege Assault Vanguard and a load of Land Raiders. I've based it off a demi-company at the core, much like everyone else does, and it currently rests at 3,500 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Keyaetus Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I think my head would explode if i tried to paint up that old tiger claws scheme, wonder what an army painted like that would actually look like though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 not really, just paint them orange like normal and then paint white stripes on them then add the black over that, same way you paint kaskrin in cadian 8th colours really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hey guys, got to GW today and picked some new paints, This is two thin coats of the Jokero Orange and Averland Sunset bases, straight on, no primer. Tomorrow Ogryn Flesh and some flames. Cheers, Jono EDIT: Just discovered the RT Fire Hawks livery, which do you guys prefer? I quite like them both.

Lachdannan Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I vote for the Fire hawk as well. Looks quite close to a phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
