Mean and Green - Sons of Medusa on tour


Recommended Posts

I decided I wanted a bit of a change from my usual black and silver Iron Hands for the E Tenebrae Lux challenge.

I thought I'd try something different (but related to Ferrus Manus ;)) - something green.

 

I present my entry into the challenge, one Master of the Forge with conversion beamer and a 5 man tactical squad.

I have every intention of adding more to this force, but as I'm in exams until the end of the month, I thought it wise not to pledge too much, lest I suddenly find I no-longer have the time.

MoTF - power weapon, conversion beamer

Tac squad - sarge with CCW, 1 melta gun

 

Here's what I've got so far - 1 test marine, several legs glued to bases, some heads, a converted head and half of the MoTF.

 

I'll admit I've never painted green before, aside from as helmet lenses.

Cheers for looking - as usual, C&C is more than welcome ;)

Thanks guys :)

Hopefully I can do their scheme justice with my painting!

 

Well, 3 exams down 1 to go.

I managed to get this done last night - work on the MoTF.

There's something not quite right with the positioning of the axe hand. The Conversion beamer backpack has been undercoated too.

 

This photo gives a more accurate look at what my green looks like, unlike the last photo.

Cheers again guys!

C&C Welcome as usual ;)

More progress -

The power-axe was made from the techmarine's big servo-arm.

The melta-gunner has MK7 legs, MK5 torso, a MK3 helmet and right arm, and MKIV left arm. I wanted him to look like his armour had been damaged heavily during the conflict and was patched up with whatever was available.

 

C&C welcome as usual,

Cheers! :D

Thanks Ludovic!

 

Bit of an update (I've been moving out of my flat, so progress has been slow...)

 

Sergeant Hastur is built, and painting has started. I think this might be my favourite conversion I've ever done (even though it's pretty rough and not terribly tidy)

I wasn't happy with Forge Wright Lumic, so I rebuilt him. Whilst I'm indeed much happier with him, it has been pointed out to me that he looks like he's shouting "come at me brah" at the enemy...

That's 3 of the tactical squad built and painted - 2 left.

After that, they'll all need basing.

 

Cheers for looking again!

Well errr... finished!

 

I would have gotten this done sooner, but my own absent minded-ness (some might say stupidity), and my camera "going missing" caused me to get distracted from this.

Anyway, I've finished my (incredibly small) vow.

 

Thanks Kassill, I wanted to give them a grimy, battered look, like they'd been fighting almost non-stop for a long period of time in a campaign.

 

I'm really happy with the squad leader, Hastur. I know it's not the most impressive conversion you'll ever find out there, but by my own shoddy standards, I like it.

Forge-Wright Lumic hasn't changed much, only recieving minor alterations to his paint, and a proper base.

And finally, the group photo.

I've enjoyed participating in this (my first ever vow). I'm tempted to start a Sons of Medusa army now... but I may have to wait a while first.

 

Cheers again guys.
