LutherMax Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 That must be pretty satisfying to have everything red plus the helmet colours. This is going to be an extremely awesome army when done, something to be proud of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Nice! It's great to see you progress with this project. :) As LutherMax has said, it'll be an amazing sight once it's all finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hey folks, I've not been idle, I've now based every marine I have (except the terminators...), lots more of my stuff has been built too :) I'll try and get pictures of everything on the weekend, but wanted to show what I've been painting most recently - it might not seem like a big deal, but I've been painting vehicle interiors so that I can actually stick the vehicles together. :) Rhino Primaris: Land Raider Excelsior: Spartan: outside of that, painting wise, I've been continuing with applying base colours here and there throughout everything else, and have that first tactical squad finally almost finished :) on the building front, I did the second half of the second devastator squad for 40k built a vigilator for 30k built a heavy weapon team for 30k built 5 more breachers built 6 destroyers built 6 jump pack death company and 10 on foot death company built the land raider and rhino above built a couple of castellax for my praevian sculpted head for my bare head sanguinary guard leader. built a terminator captain built 5 more cataphractii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 Figured I havent shown a group photo for a while - but this is where things are at: also, 30k praetor as he currently stands: Heresy inspired Sanguinary Guard in the background (used the Invictus Suzerian heads on them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Can we get a clearer shot of the 30k Sanguinary Guard? Or are you holding off for more to be done with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna707 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I second that request! I would love to see your heresy stuff more clearly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 small update, decided to refocus a bit on getting at least a basic 40k playable army (although it'd be usable in 30k too to be fair). There is also a unit of death company that a mate donated to me, so i didn't include them as he painted them. progress in the last couple days consists of: painting bases for the sternguard, contemptor, sanguinary guard, dante, corbulo and command squad. doing first set of highlights on remaining tactical marines. adding first lot of shading to sanguinary guard, blocking out some other colours on sanguinary guard too (I LOVE the forgeworld grey knight metal colour), undercoating their wings (not pictured) Blocking in all the silver areas on rhino and predator, doing the shading on the rhino.

LutherMax Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Good progress!  The only FW paint I have it the Castellax Bronze – which is an awesome replacement for the old Tin Bitz. I'll have to give the Grey Knights Steel a try too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thanks :) Â Grey Knight Steel is lovely, bright silver that has a blue sheen, i decided it'd be the base colour for power weapons in my army :)plan is to use grey knight steel, highlight up to stormhost silver, probably use a mix of black and blue washes, then paint lightning like the official sanguinary guard pictures... we'll see if i ever get that far!

Blindhamster Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Brothers, I need some help... I finally got around to getting the base colour onto the thunderhawk but have hit a snag... I don't know what to do with it! Originally I'd thought I'd use white as an accent colour like this picture: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lWVd3Ryp_6U/TlDdlZ4gqtI/AAAAAAAAAB4/eXphYe_3tW8/s1600/Space_Marines_by_Radojavor.jpg However, since then, the Heresy thousand sons and blood angels have had their colour schemes solidified somewhat and now blood angels seem to accented with black and some gold, where thousand sons are accented with white and gold. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've done some looking about the internet and it appears that people that paint blood angels ones have tended to just stick with plain red... which is fine, but I sort of want to be a bit more visually interesting with such a large model. If anyone has suggestions, or better yet fancies photoshopping ideas, please help a Frater out and provide some inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Black bands with 1" painters tape as a mask. Maybe 2 or 3 in diagonal rings starting right behind front winglets to the heightened superstructure (using the rake there for your angle guide) Than go super grimdark and throw some boss big ole blood drops on the wings;)... J/k about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Commander Eidolon Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I wouldn't want to leave it all red, it'd just look even more like a flying brick....  I've seen a few Thunderhawks with a grey/cream lower area, that doesn't look too bad, however I'd go for diagonal black stripes, in place of the white ones in the picture. I do agree BA seem to be more red and black these days, but that isn't to say you can't use white if you wanted too!  I found this rather awesome Fire Raptor for you to be inspired by; if you can replicate the gold trim it'll look epic with black  http://i64.tinypic.com/33vgh1c.jpg  I'll be doing a pink version very soon!

Custom Hero Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Some ideas in white I found online: http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/kalebrisner/Mobile%20Uploads/470F4461-A47D-4051-923C-72BE3F80146D_zpszexp3zds.jpg   http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k630/kalebrisner/Mobile%20Uploads/1DFC923E-409B-4BF3-9D9D-8578E1050222_zpsqjecj3dr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I'm rubbish with Photoshop and that sort of thing, but perhaps a white and black checkered section somewhere on the model would look good? Just an idea, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I wholeheartedly support the idea of adding black and white checkers somewhere. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think you could do with some more iconography on there too, whether it's transfers, freehand, brass etch or plastic (reliefs from the Baal kit). That's a lot of big blank panels even with some accent colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thamier Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 so much great work! very inspireing, and cant wait to get going, keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 @ Blindhamster how about something like these for the Thunderhawk? Diagonal stripes like the one in the background of the reference pic, or a central vertical stripe. Any of them could have thin gold edging on the stripes, might look cool.  http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Thunderhawk-01-Black.jpg  http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Thunderhawk-01-White.jpg  http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Thunderhawk-02-Black.jpg  [url=http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Thunderhawk-02-White.jpg[/img]  http://www.themightybrush.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Thunderhawk-02-White.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 They're very cool :) Â Any thoughts on how to take some inspiration from the heresy fire raptor (like the example above and the art it's based on) https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=heresy+blood+angel+fire+raptor&client=ms-android-samsung&source=lnms&prmd=isnv&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiH8Ybg1v_OAhXIKCwKHV3MCsAQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=512#imgrc=5kEUymqFYeH47M%3A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
