Captain Mike Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I was thinking that. I did it my usual way, but it hasn't worked as well. I'm going to try again I thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Okay. I mixed ice blue and skull white, and drybrushed that over the plasma coils. Looks good in real life, but I thought it oughta try some different techniques for taking pictures. Just tell me which one seems better. This is under a combination of natural light and a spot light about 2m away. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010118.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010119.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010120.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010121.jpg (same again, but back view) http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010122.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Those ropes on the front are to hold up a cloak. They don't look as purposeful with out the cloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yeah I know, but I like the rope, gives a bit more detail, so I kept it. Lets try these. Should be clearer. I covered up those metal dots I think the camera was focussing on, and taken these pictures in sunlight. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010129.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010130.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010131.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boramar Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Those ropes on the front are to hold up a cloak. They don't look as purposeful with out the cloak Those ropes can also be a form of honors.

Captain Mike Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I like the color scheme the orange on black talks to me. Don't listen! It's all lies! But thank you.

Captain Mike Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well boys and girls, ain't you all lucky, I have 5 more troopers for you! One is just a hair re paint of one I posted earlier but still...# Scout Snipers in the Fire Badgers tend to be a controlled yet still insane lot, who relish in the sight of limbs being removed with surgical precision, and the thrill of hunting their prey. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010132.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010134.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010137.jpg (1000 yd stare) Sean Connery is about to shoot you. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010138.jpg (I lied.

Captain Mike Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Not much to say. Just heavy bolter guy. The script on the feed belt is to mask where I didn't put it together quite right. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010139.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010140.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010141.jpg Working on the command squad at the moment.

Captain Mike Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Time to wake the Fire Badgers up again I think. So I've been in my first year of University, and the time for painting was short. Now that I've settled into my new house, and with all my tools and paints, I've decided to get back to work on everyone's favourite terribly named chapter (statistics curiously missing). Nothing much at the moment, just a little pledge that I am working! http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010159.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010160.jpg Unfortunately, games workshop stopped making blazing orange paint, so I'm having to experiment a little to get the right tone. Until then expect a lot of black undercoating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Come on man, this is just unfair. I can't sincerely C&C a paintjob when it's a Chapter like the Fire Badgers. It would be like explaining the finer points of formal silverware arrangement to a rabid hippopotamus. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Haha, Fire Badgers?! Love it. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Bit of work. Probably should have picked a less central model to regain painting on... My idea was that seeing as Fire Badgers see combat as form of worship to the God-Emperor, their fightiest men will be suitably religious. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010161.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010162.jpg (New house, need to find a good light spot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Looking cool! If you're still open to ideas about the name, the Wiki entry another poster linked to mentions: The Oxford English Dictionary states it probably derives from "badge" + -ard, referring to the white mark borne like a badge on its forehead. I think White Marks sounds like a cool name, and it matches the white helms your marines have. Just a thought! Either way, the force is starting to take shape nicely. The champion is especially cool.

Captain Mike Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Apothecary WIP. Just need to base it, really. Some attempts at other source lighting (inspired by my painting LED lamp) http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010163.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010164.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010165.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010166.jpg Enjoy!

Captain Mike Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Just a little work on a scratch built techmarine. I thought the legs could be to add support when he's doing heavy lifting. Except his version of repair seems to be the Age of Empires one. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010170.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010171.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenios Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'm just gonna leave this here. Anyway... These are really nice, I always love colour schemes with orange in. Can't wait to see some paint on that techmarine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
