Jolemai Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 Made a jump list :wacko: Having never run such a list (mainly because I don't own any jump RAS or VAS), I've put this up as a future project to work towards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Marines Left = grey undercoat, right = white Think I prefer white even though it's more work. Red needs tidying up followed by detail, highlights and base (13 times...) Arkangilos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That knife will melt! The white certainly makes it a little more vibrant though, but I suppose maybe an additional highlight colour on the grey would sort it? Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah that knife on the flamer made me laugh real hard. :D I like white better as well but the difference is so small it could just as well be the lighting lol Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 That knife will melt! The white certainly makes it a little more vibrant though, but I suppose maybe an additional highlight colour on the grey would sort it? He's in the RAS so it's been affixed for the charge It's only one chap and a bolter chap at that, so there's no real need to go overboard with additional highlights (and yes, I hate that I have to say that) but this kind of the problem that arises from not using Mephiston Red. White -> Evil Sunz is brighter but potentially requires more work if you mess up a dark colour like black. Grey - > Evil Sunz is more dingy so I need to work more but it's better for everything else (such as the brown, green, base, etc). *sigh* Yeah that knife on the flamer made me laugh real hard. I like white better as well but the difference is so small it could just as well be the lighting lol Melta* - my flamer guy for my RAS has an axe head on his Can assure you there is a difference regardless of the light. It would probably show up more on a larger scale model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I can't really tell the difference between the grey and white primers, and I like to think I have a pretty good eye for red Maybe they look more different in real life, and it's just the pic that makes them look so similar. But if they are really very similar I'd say go with the quickest / easiest method! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 GBBO update - Librarian Vow 1 of 2 complete!Librarian:Front: Left Back Right Angle Shopping list Imperial Phallus Jetbike sans rider Space Marine biker legs and left arm Grey Knights power armour torso back and front Grey Knights Terminator bare head Death Company right arm and right shoulder pad Grey Knights power armour warding stave Terminator bling Blood Angels brass etch (x2) Space Marine Tactical Squad bolters (x2) Second edition shoulder pad, bolter sprue Green stuff, paperclips, glue, etc The easier of the two, it just needed some tweaking to make it 40k legal - so bolters added (magnetised so I can still use it in 30k one day) along with some bling, as well as changing the arm of the Librarian and head position to make him less static. Tried a spot of green stuff on the shoulder pad to get the horned skull Librarian emblem thingy but I suck... I suppose I could have done more. Perhaps added a book, etc, but I'm really concerned about the time everything is taking me and I've got a lot to do before the Apocalypse (if it goes ahead that is... The venue has closed down so we're looking for alternatives ) Arkangilos and Damon Nightman 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Tried a spot of green stuff on the shoulder pad to get the horned skull Librarian emblem thingy but I suck... Have you tried using a shoulder pad with skull sculpted by GW, then just adding the horns yourself? Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) That's what I did. It looks like I gave the skull a wig... Awful lighting but it's the "right" picture. Definitely getting the GW sculpting set for my birthday in May (and Lost Patrol too just because). Edited March 6, 2017 by Jolemai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Ah right, my mistake - from the lighting it looks like the skull is GS too! Jolemai 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Plan for the rest of this month is to finish of my thirteen Marines (just details for nine to go and then thirteen bases) and to then get my Inquisitor finished. In April I need to paint ten BaC Marines and these have so far been undercoated - will likely just aim for the three base colours and based level of painting here as they need to be complete by April 28th. I also need to magentise my Imperial Knight as it's too heavy for prolonged blu-tacced-ness. What? That's totally a word... So the question is, do I try and fit in a void shield generator kitbash or not (again, to be done by April 28th)? / CaptainHelion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Given my 1750 list a spring clean and attempted to squeeze an OIF and Chapter Ancients Formation into the list. Needs work to make it somewhat decent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 It begins... Inquisitor Purple cloak on the back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Marine update This is as far as I'm taking these for now. They still need highlights and minor tidying up, but I've got a backlog to clear... Will be very sad the day I run out of these to paint... Third edition chap was a freebie. New way of doing the eye sockets and I love it. Second edition plastic and metal heavy bolter equals on of my "Character bases" to stop him falling over... I got the model with some bits and this is the best solution for him... Left over Command Squad bits with some second edition bolters. Regular SM Tactical box was used here. Heavy flamer is FW. Most blinged Tactical Marine I own so far and Mk I who will lead my Sternguard (or Scouts) Command squad for the 3rd Company. Powerfist is magnetised.

Jolemai Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 How old (real world time) are the tacs in the first pic, Jol? 20/21 years old now? Maybe produced a few years earlier. Up until this year they were in Space Wolves colours. The heavy bolter is the same age. Oddly, the Thunder Warrior is one of the newest in my collection (Finecast).
