nurglespuss Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi guys, just a quick one, had these old combat squad marines knocking around, thickly painted. So I stripped them, repaired them and repainted them. I used some older painting techniques, and the new red wash from gw, be warned it makes things very dark. Anyway here you go :) http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG1625-1-1.jpg Based http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG1628-1-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurglespuss Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Cheers! They were really quick to paint (if a Bugger to get the guns to fit), I miss buying boxes of these with my paper round money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Very nice work. I too remember the Strike Force boxed set of 15. Bought it at GW Edinburgh on holiday way back. Got any more golden oldies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightmare Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Some golden oldies right their! Well done, I think I am inspired to dig mine out however I think they are beyond saving with the uber thick orange paint job they have....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ah that's where my magic paint stripper comes in: http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG1608.jpg Strips metal and plastic with no damage, and really easily. Found out by accident when a plastic arm made it in with metal models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I have to say that Rhino looks blinding. Literally. I had to squint to look at it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasmus of Baal Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Those Assault Marines are an excellent re-use of the Sanguinary Guard wings! The DC former Sergeant looks great, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rainbow Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Loving you work! The dread is probably my favourite. Did you change the powerfist arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Very nice rescues! I like how the dark red turned out. I take it you used the Carroburg Crimson wash? Do you do the wash after the basecoat and before the highlights, or after all the highlights have been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 After the highlights, but you have yo do w red/blsck ink over the top to make it look red again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
