clever handle Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Here are a couple of shots of a dozen noise marines I made a while ago. I currently have less than 1500 points of finished marines when utilizing the newest Chaos codex. I will be painting this force up to 2,000 points & then beginning my Disciples of the Dragon warhost (can you guess what will feature heavily there?) http://i.imgur.com/VYtX4.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Gz0IW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fH67e.jpg http://i.imgur.com/W6ZHm.jpg?1 These guys were my first army & the pink is quite flat. With the release of the new paints I have slowly been "upgrading" the paint scheme. I have never known what colour to paint the backpacks on my guys. I worry that gold would be too overpowering & have always felt that the featureless slab of pink is dull. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever handle Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 a couple more shots: meltagunners: http://i.imgur.com/eaJI2.jpg autocannons (so far): http://i.imgur.com/YOG0E.jpg Icons: http://i.imgur.com/ATMDC.jpg horde o' mooks: http://i.imgur.com/QvksP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QY7OL.jpg Rhino: http://i.imgur.com/iLfPA.jpg Land Raider: http://i.imgur.com/IA93N.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rrUO3.jpg Still nothing too fancy here. I will probably try out some free hand, or at least some interesting swirl-type patterns as I repaint these guys in the new GW pink line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I approve! B) You've got a really lovely pink going on there, perfect for Slaaneshi worshippers. Good job with the Autocannon conversions. I may have to steal that idea. ;) My favourite though is definitley the Land Raider. Those spectral parts look brilliant! You mentioned at the end of the last post that you are going to re-paint them in the new pinks. Is that just because you prefer the tone of the new pinks or because you'd like to have another go at painting these? Personally, I think they are pretty good as they are. Mike.

little Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 :cuss Just one thinh: missing highlight on pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever handle Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks, I'm repainting the marines because I had initially tried to do a zenith type highlighting but the blending isn't very good in many places. I never liked the look of edge highlighting on models and when I did try was never satisfied with the results. I have reviewed FTW's how to paint pink articles & will be attempting to replicate the effect. Any suggestions for the backpacks? The unfinished steel isn't great & as I said I think gold will be too much. Maybe a place to try out edge highlighting on the pink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I think the backpacks look good, but the bright gold jars too much with them and the pink. I think that if you give the gold a wash (brown, then purple?) youll find that they look better together. Maybe some highlights on the silver packs, then. Also, paint the details on them.

The Cosmic Game Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I do say, I think I will poach that autocannon idea of yours. Have been agonizing over a cheap solution to getting roughly 8 cannons on the table. Love that conversion. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever handle Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 I wish I could claim credit for the autocannons but it is a conversion I stole from someone else a long time ago (1+ years?) I'm not sure if it is a cheap conversion either - there are 3 components: 1) The chaos heavy bolter (imperial one works too - one in every kit) 2) The barrel from the reaper autocannon (defiler - two per defiler kit) 3) The ammo drum from an imperial guard HWT (2 per autocannon team - one w/ "bumps" one that is smooth). I really don't like the look of the imperial autocannon barrel on these - I've seen a tonne of those type of conversions lately & I think the barrel is too oversized compared ot the rest of the gun. I need to find myself a couple of extra autocannon barrels - I had a spare defiler sitting around but returned it for store credit a couple of weeks ago without realizing that I had damned myself to proxying the other autocannons.

clever handle Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Hey guys, here are some WIP proper pics of my new JuggerLord (not for this army....) much more GS work to go & think I may change the axe. http://i.imgur.com/mkr79.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kWao1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever handle Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 some wip picks of my Wanton Abandon squad leaders & HQ's. Modeling is almost complete & painting is about half done, many more layers to come still.

Firepower Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The lord with sanguinary guard bits is a very clever conversion :ph34r: That siad... THE PINK! MY EYES! GOD IT'S IN MY EYES!!! ;) Pretty solid work, but as said previously, highlights would make it better (seems to already have some good depth though).

Lepaca Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I LOVE the lord and champs #2 and #4. But I agree #1 and #3 need some work. I think it would be enough to just give them a head switch! (personally I never use those heads because I find them atrocious :yes: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever handle Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 well, I've got about 4 hours of work today & then I'm left to "enjoy" 12 days basically commitment free...... there is a 500pt escalation event next week at the store I play at so I'm doing up as many cultists as I can + the juggerlord for that event, the rest of my time will be spent cleaning up the pink & gold on these boys.... I'll try some extreme highlighting on the pink but I think those lines will be ultra-thin. When looking at the models IRL I already find the pink is VERY bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clever handle Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 Here are some more shots of the juggerlord: http://i.imgur.com/AMAK2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eAGkH.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JfbMS.jpg I still need to add some chain reigns but I feel that the juggernaught needs some work. Currently I've only added a bit of extra barding peeking out under the lord's foot, but I'm not sure where to go & I'm a bit afraid of overdoing things. Oh, here is his escort for the 500pt escalation games this week: 32 cultists: http://i.imgur.com/kj1q0.jpg (12) Chaos Marines http://i.imgur.com/rQBvP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/HvWC9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/pcsUJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/muctx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/n8IDy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
