UltraRich Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks Guys Considering Ive seen the standard of your companies I appreciate the comments. Heres an update of the progress on the champion. Im going to have to find a better way of taking pictures as the bulb on my daylight lamp is washing out the highlight shades especially on the cape and helmet. EDIT: Ive switched out the pictures for these now Ive set up a "paper towel" light box ;) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy2_zpsf3efcac5.jpg This is the first time Ive free handed a vet symbol. I hate using transfers so I thought Id give it a go. Only another 10 or so to go! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-2copy-4_zpsf2b1b8e0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Another update. The first three are finished now the champions done. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-16_zps4902c570.jpg I needed a break from blue so I started on some bases. I dont think they are too bad but I have a nagging feeling they look like dog food. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0023_zpsebd426a4.jpg Heres whats next. Its the first of the 5. Ive opted to use plastic shoulder pads as I prefer the trim size to the FW resin pads. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0025_zps2200db27.jpg Q. What colour is a veteran Sargent helmet if the squad is white? Standard red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetdestroyer Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I think're white with a red stripe (or vice-versa) so that both colours are represented. Keep up the great work man, loving everything so far! \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Invictus Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 These really are fantastic. How did you do those cloaks by the way? I can't seem to make mine look anything but flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 These really are fantastic. How did you do those cloaks by the way? I can't seem to make mine look anything but flat. Simple really Start with a black undercoat Then a coat of base red (cant remember what its called) I then gave it a wash with black nuin oil (sp?) and a mix if medium 50/50 this means it flows into all the creases. I then hit it with a wash of devlin mud in the dark areas. It then had progressive mix's of red/yellow and medium until I got to an off orange colour on the main highlights. It then had a thinned down wash of red to tie it all together. Thanks to everyone else re the helmet. I'll post this up tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoogeyMan^ Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nice models, I especially like how you've made white colour. As for bases, you should try to do the drybrushing with light grey or bone colour. I will be waiting for updates Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 These are really something. Fantastic painting and the freehand is awesome. Looking forward to your next update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Quick update Ive been working on my first test marine The free hand knee needs a tidy and it still needs some highlighting but I cant decide if the helmet damage is "right" I dont know if I should over paint it white. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-1copy-16_zpsf72875dc.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/Untitled-2copy-4_zpse98ac30d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 The damage to the helmet looks right to me, as it indicates that the weapon that caused it exposed the Ceramite (or whatever Marine armour is made of) under the armours' paint. Love the shade of Blue and the red cloak etc is such a gorgeous shade ^_^ I really must get around to getting some FW stuff once I've finally cleared the backlog of mini's I already have...

Lachdannan Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Nice marine. Liking the battle damage on the helmet, adds a bit of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Another quick update Ive finished off the one above and started another 3 (yes 3!) Anyone would think I have a vow. Ive started on the sergeant and got the base colours, some shade and some weathering done Ive gone for one of Anvils bionic arms. I dont know if I should give him a chainsword in his left hand or make it a pointy arm (as we all know marines like pointing) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0040_zpsba86ebd1.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0048_zpsf685f716.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Perdo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Nice sutble conversions with a mixing of armour marks and great painting, these are ace. I love the laurel on the red sergeant helm, great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Beautiful. Like many I'm not a huge fan of Ultramarines, but these are outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Famtastic! I am loving the Vet Sgt. Id go for pointy hand. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I'd go for a pointy hand as well. Great sgt and laurel on the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Heres a quick update just to show Ive not fallen into the warp. Mr Pointy if almost finished. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0052_zps74ecdd88.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0053_zps5c51446d.jpg Three of his mates are well under way too These two are base coated and ready for detailing http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0054_zps968436ed.jpg This ones only based and I cant seem to see any references for the rocket launcher colour. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0056_zps63a0849d.jpg Heres the reason Ive not done too much. I thought the 1st could do with some hardware Not sure if I like the sword across http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0049_zpse7d67a8a.jpg or vertical http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0051_zpscd2239da.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'd say go with Red casing for the Missile Launcher in a nod to older editions, but your choice. I say vertical, across makes him look too busy, as if he'd stumble. Vertical gives off the 'Come at me' expression. I like these a lot, always partial to Ultramarines. BT.

Tyrannicide Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Fingerpointer is sexy. Love the laurels on his helmet, they look awesome. You're putting together a great little log here, man. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoVonAwesome Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 A little late on the subject but first company sargeants typically have a red luarel painted onto thier white helmet as opposed to a blue one if you look at the veteran boxed sets painted by the 'eavy metal team.

UltraRich Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks Guys I think Im going to leave the sergeants helmet red as a) I like red and Im not repainting those laurels Ive finished two of the other marines which are below Im leaving the other one as Ive just ordered the maximus mkiv armour squad, mkiv assault squad, heavy weapons squad, comms upgrade and power weapon set. Im going to have a fairly big team when Im done. two new ones http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0062_zps9286e2a6.jpg squad shot http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0058_zps56c4d67d.jpg Company shot http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_0064_zps19aa7f8d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great work, Maximus armour looks particularly good in veteran colours I think :) The Sergeant's helmet looks really good so I'm glad you've decided to keep it, the laural markings turned out well. I like the bases too, they look suitably muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
