ravenguard2010 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hail brothers. Here is my finished test mini for my new Omega Marines army. There wasn't much out there in cyber space in regards to this chapter so I didn't have much to go on but I'm quite happy with the outcome, so will slowly be making my way through collecting a 750 point force and posting the finished models here. Constructive criticism etc welcome. Rob Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263675-omega-marines/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urauloth Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Wow that looks completely fantastic, love the weathering on the armour. That halved colour scheme looks great. The scratches on the launcher look good too - is that brush or sponge weathering? ;; would you mind sharing your colour recipes, too?

smallvictory Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Great scheme, great weathering and I love the touch of color on the boots to make him dirty (paint or powder?). I can tell the base is some kind of grate (I think) but I feel you missed an oppertunity to add some color there. Keep up the good work.

AlexCrute Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Nothing wrong with this guy. Match this standard with the rest and you'll have a fantastic army.

ravenguard2010 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Cheers for the kind words all. Wow that looks completely fantastic, love the weathering on the armour. That halved colour scheme looks great. The scratches on the launcher look good too - is that brush or sponge weathering? ;; would you mind sharing your colour recipes, too? No problem at all mate, happy to share. I've kept the recipe fairly simple - it takes me long enough to get a model painted up, so I know if I made the scheme too complicated I wouldn't get very far with an army!! It's a skull white spray base, given a few liberal Nuln Oil ink layers (actually taken from painting tips in the newest WD), taking care to get it right into the detailing. I don't go too heavy on the highlighting stage to try and keep the model gritty and battle worn rather than clean looking, and the weathering around the boots etc is dry-brushed scorched brown. The scratches and armour chips are painted on with boltgun metal first, and then highlighted and shaded on opposite sides to give them a 3D effect. The black is standard chaos black with a very small amount of codex grey mixed in, and the face was a 1:1 mix of Dwarf Flesh and Bleached Bone, washed with Ogryn flesh, touched up with the first mix again, then highlighted with a 1:2 mix, and finally a bleached bone highlight on areas such as the teeth etc. Hope that helps.

Renoster Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Immense. I've been on painting hold for ages now, but seeing that model, once more unto the breach! Cover me Brother!

Vourne Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Really nice! Love the colour scheme. I'm a big fan of weathering and yours looks great, just the right amount. Can't wait to see more!

Urauloth Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Cheers for the in-depth reply! I'm surprised that's nuln oil over pure white, I would have guessed you'd used rakarth/dheneb as a base. I'll have to try this method out somethime. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263675-omega-marines/#findComment-3213553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went by one of the painting articles on one f the Forgeworld models in the newest WD. I've used it more liberally than they did after looking back at that article, but it still gives a good effect.

Dakkin'Outta'Control Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Love everything about the model. Great work. Cant wait to see your HQ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263675-omega-marines/#findComment-3214861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 He looks fantastic. It's nice to see some Omega representation. I was a little unsure about the bone at first in your wip thread, but it looks very convincing. Is the Tactical marking a transfer or freehand?

Glad you like it, the Tactical Squad marking is a freehand. I toyed with using decals but there's so many great painters on here who freehand absolutely crazy stuff on banners etc, so I thought it was about time I tried that sort of thing out for myself.

reckoning Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Amazing paint job all around. Especially like the weathering/scarring. And the flesh is superb. If I had one small criticism it would be the base. Compared to the rest of the mini it looks rather bland. Minor detail however, the model is outstanding.

Dosjetka Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I love that Omega Marine with a passion. So gritty and grimdark. I'd love to paint my own squad or two (I may do that after I finish my Iron Warriors) and I can't wait to see the rest of the squad done ;) Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263675-omega-marines/#findComment-3216800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daevyll Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Looks good! Where did you get the chest armour from, if I may ask? I really like the look of it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263675-omega-marines/#findComment-3218203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sgt. Steine Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I like this... Hope to see a full squad soon. For Guilliman! BSS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/263675-omega-marines/#findComment-3218326 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Forgeworld piece mate. Cheers again for the kind words all. Might be some time before a full squad emerges I'm afraid guys, though I've just ordered some more Forgeworld goodness to make up the rest of the marines.

Isiah Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 For a test mini, too awesome. Love the dirtied, battered armour. The warmer tones of face/head really draws the eye in. Great work.
