zxyogi Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Nice work! Love the PDF, have had an idea similar for my army but more in the line of ammo supply to my Marines.

StraightSilver Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Cheers guys. So I have made a start on an HQ choice - gotta say not really enjoying this mini so far.... It's the limited edition Praetor and the one I got had a lot of issues, mainly miscasts. I should have sent it back tbh and FW did offer to replace it but one thing led to another and I never got round to it. I have fixed him up as best I as I can - quite a bit of greenstuff, and thought would get some paint on him as a practice piece. I had to swap the head, not because of any casting issues, as I hate the one it comes with. Still very WIP but looking at the photos needs some tidying up but he's getting there. Will obviously look better with arms..... http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/Untitled_zpsk0pglfmo.pnghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/004_zpsd9mvzbfq.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/002_zpse6byrfxo.jpg zxyogi and Soric 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4307361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Callidan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 You did a great job in hiding the crap cast dude it's looking great. How do you do your gold?

War Angel Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 That's some good looking gold. Quite inspirational.

StraightSilver Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Cheers guys, the gold is just Retributor Armour gold with a Reikland Flesh shade wash. Then tidy up with Retributor Armour gold then highlight by adding old GW Shining Gold then final highlight of 60/40 Shining Gold and Mithril Silver. You should get same effect with Auric Gold and Runefang Steel? Retributor Armour gold is amazing though, goes on in one coat. :) zxyogi 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4309367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Decided to take a break from the Praetor for a bit (ever just get one of those moments where you aren't enjoying painting a particular mini but having a break helps?) so I started another potential HQ. This is one of the guys from the MKIV Command Squad, the standard bearer is also on the go. Again still very WIP but he's also getting there. Also quite pleased as this is the result of a day's work which is super fast for me - I'm getting quicker. :) Obviously will be painting arms the rest of the week..... http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01538_zpssief8cxz.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01535_zps6bfdprls.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01537_zpsaotqavbh.jpg The photos have kind of bleached out the colours a bit but happier with the head and face than I thought I'd be. Didn't like the look of the one that came with the kit and was going to swap it out but actually looks alright. He looks a bit small though.

StraightSilver Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Progress is a bit slower than expected on these guys - the cloaks have been pretty fiddly to be honest but I'm very happy with them. Still WIP, need to finish the gold parts but now the cloaks are done I reckon the rest of the models should be pretty quick - except the standard, which obviously is the biggest part of the model but looks like will be tricky to get the decal on.... http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01544_zpsjwt2sbxy.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01545_zpsinoz3tq9.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01546_zpsf8zkhge8.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01551_zpshm3mde0f.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01550_zpssvxbuzkw.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01552_zpsq1ct5ihj.jpg[url=http://s354.photobucket.com/user/MacraggePDF2/media/DSC01552_zpsq1ct5ihj.jpg.html] Kierdale, rossjk, zxyogi and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4314247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 So I am gonna call these guys finished now, they took a bit longer than expected and I did rush a few bits but overall pretty happy with them. http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01561_zpsj4krpc8a.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01556_zps0siidkbg.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01558_zpsawgwbl2m.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01559_zpsy6ld2r58.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01553_zpspqeirlvn.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01565_zpsapwli7gq.jpghttp://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/DSC01563_zpsebmfbhri.jpg Gonna take a quick break from Heresy stuff as I need to finish my 40K Land Raiders and do some work on the Macragge PDF but plan to start working through the Betrayal at Calth boxed set hopefully next month. noigrim and Argent aquila 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4335024 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraightSilver Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 Cheers everybody. So I haven't managed to get any painting done for quite some time. Work, study and life in general have eaten up all of my hobby time. So now I finally have a bit of spare time I managed to get something done.Because I haven't painted for a good few months I thought I would start with something big as I was feeling a bit rusty. I bought loads of Betrayal at Calth boxes so have a fair few Contemptors kicking around so had a go at one.This is the result so far. Pretty much finished - just gotta add decals and do the base. http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/16830873_10158211516475075_6292431824442135524_n_zpsqtokjhfi.jpg http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/16681528_10158211516875075_8866478549810094380_n_zpsqcl1s1qx.jpg http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/16830965_10158211516795075_1906662305101008528_n_zpsqw0bvdmz.jpg http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r430/MacraggePDF2/16708719_10158211516360075_6515581067089058955_n_zpsunmirc3u.jpg It's nice to be painting Ultras again. :) WarriorFish, Thrillhouse and Kizzdougs 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4661411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 You have a great collection of great painted models.

StraightSilver Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Hi everybody,Small update from me, as ever bad photos though...Considering starting a new plog as I have lost all of my photobucket links, not sure how everybody else is resolving that one?Anyway I have managed to find a bit of time to get some painting done. Not much, just a WIP of the Primaris Lieutenant from the starter set. Need to get some photos in daylight as the face is looking a lot darker than in IRL.

Grotsmasha Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I resolved my Photobucket issues by deleting all of my images and telling them to take a long walk off of a short pier.....but I digress, the Lietenant is coming along nicely :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4813264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Cheers guys. Ok so apart from the base the Primaris Lieutenant is done. Took way longer than I was expecting (so used to painting "normal" marines and these are pretty different) but overall happy with it, hopefully be able to get them done a bit quicker now. As always my photos are awful though! :) The blue is actually nowhere near that bright / light IRL.

StraightSilver Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) It's been so long since I did any painting I couldn't find my own Plog.... lol. Anyway still not much to see but have started to add some more Primaris - obviously these are still very WIP which is why they have no arms, heads, etc....

StraightSilver Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 OK so a tiny bit of progress. Heads aren't attached yet but gives an idea of what they will look like.I have also started a painting challenge on another forum - paint a 100PL army in 6 months. I am going for 100PL Ultramarines Primaris list, that way I can run them on their own or add them to my Ultras 2nd Company.So first month's pledge is a Gravis Captain and 10 x Intercessors. Just base coated so far but for once I'm keeping to a painting schedule. how to upload photo to internet Sagentus and Grotsmasha 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272848-defenders-of-macragge-macragge-pdf-attached-to-2nd-company/page/4/#findComment-4978216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
