nurglespuss Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 OK Quick update, did a bit of quick basing/dry brushing/wash this evening before bed ;), so should had '5' guys ready for my E Tennebrae Lux vow very soon! (hate painting around bolters, but needs and cack hand drives! http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0369.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0370.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0371.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0372.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0373.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0376.jpg have also won some cheap on-sprue marines, and finally got my Dante from fleabay too! so once the Rhino arrives, and I've done the drop pod, I may add those too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0379-2.jpg Tick tock tick tock ;p lol after this a yellow and then red glaze was applied (now drying!) to blend the edge lights in (though I am very inconvinced with the new GW glazes...) Just relying on the postal service to come before I finish these! And can't wait til I go home next to retrieve a landspeeder, the rest of the terminator squad, and possibly a cheeky death company dread (but that will be last on the list after these tac marines, the rhino and drop pod!) *edit* OK notice horrific unadjusted camera colour and toned down! - the highlights arent as stark as they appear in the photos, will turn flash off in better light when they are done (they are just tabletop quality). this is post yellow.red glaze drying and eyes done (bar yellow glaze) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0381.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 OK taken ages, and my freehand is very poor compared to what i used to be able to do, but pretty much done, just varnishing and basing left, then ill take a shot with the decent camera (not these quick phone snaps), and I'll have completed part of my vow! soon as these orders arrive, i can paint the remaining 2 members and their rhino :) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0389.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurglespuss Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 OK first squad (combat squad) all done and based for my Vow! :) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0588.jpg and as they form part of a ten man squad, here's the heavy bolter, flamer and sarge seen previously (based) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0594.jpg and, in the mail today another combat box <_< so the last 2 marines will be finished to complete the ten man squad :lol: http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0598.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 OK I finished stripping my ebay dante (and his incredibly thivk layers of colour schemes!) and unfortunately, his face was badly smooshed :) However! not to be dismayed (and as my drop pod/rhino still havent arrived :( ) I converted him into a chaplain :) What do you think? I think he looks pretty creepy really! - now deciding on colour scheme. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0403.jpg Replaced face with skull and tried to remodel wreath. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0404.jpg He was also missing his pistol arm, so replace it with plastic, and a suitable shield. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0405.jpg Sawed out shoulder and replace with a skull pad filling in the gaps. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0406.jpg Had this knocking around since celestine first came out lol.

nurglespuss Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Quick update before bed ;p Impatient to paint the chaplain, so am trying out the Death Company scheme on one of my absolute favourite Blood Angel models (so happy i found it very cheap on Ebay!) - am very tempted to include all the old second ed. sergeants in the squad ;p but will resist the urge for now! I've got some Magnets on order, so will have swappable back packs/jump packs for either being transported, foot slogging or jumping ;) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0411-1-1.jpg Basic black with some grey tones and edge white before tidying and glazing with gloss black and black ink. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0414.jpg Red 'X's a plenty :) and keeping the yellow chest eagle theme, will probably keep the power sword dark with red edge. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0417.jpg Slightly wonky freehand skull ;p but considering the contortions it got me in, I'm OK with it - might alter it. Cheers again, all comments welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I really like the chaplain, although the skull mask needs re-angling so that it matches with the rest of Dante's mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thank you :) Hmmmm I've checked and it seems to follow Dantes original face position? Which way do you think it would need to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 OK still working on his sword, but almost there :lol: http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0599.jpg Ahhhh and the Ebay Rhino arrived, bit of a mess, the white paint is, incredibly? Tippex!? Just working out the best thing I've got to hand to strip it with... http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0421-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinful eyes Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 That DC marine looks really excelent... Its minis like that combined with painters like you that makes me wish I had a squad of the old DC marines painted black. And I do like the Dante Chaplain, although the face does seem a little off center or something... Though that could just be the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightguy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Rhino is a bit of a mess, but actually rather well painted for its era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurglespuss Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Cheers, just got rid of every scrap of paint using Fairy Power Spray in 30 minutes! Mental stuff that doesn't damage the plastic (or your hands) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 OK so this is the power of Fairy... http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0430.jpg and with a bit of repair work and filing/filing etc. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0432.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Usual before bed update ;p http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0437.jpg Started work on his skull mask, gone for a slight glowy socket effect :cuss The armour highlights may be a little 'too' subtle... but we shall see ;) I've decided to keep the yellow chest eagle theme going (though might make it darker yellow) and I 'think' I've decided on painting Celestines cloak a deep red. I'm putting a death company 'X' ovr his skull shoulder, and on the shield back ground, is that enough do you think? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 And always time for 20 min of quick pre work painting! ;p http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0449.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 OK usual bedtime painting lol getting there slowly! Just need to shade down the white, and re-highlight, then its on to the various pouches etc. to finish his body off. Then its red 'X's (hate that bit ;p). Any feed back appreciated. The bright stuff looks very bright against the black armour, but, i hope with the back drop of the cape it should bring the miniature together ;) *edit* lol just noticed how the white looks in that photo! don't worry, its not thick! thats just a white glaze drying ;p http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0452.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGK Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 not too bright at all, actually i would suggest paainting the haft of the crosius red as well to make him truly old timey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
