This is a combined wip.The current pics are not great but I will try to fix.The first image is of Corpus Captain Zachariah Kersh aka the scourge.

the battle damage I used a knife and file.Which I have never done before.I plan on using army painter primer for got the name but a bone color. maybe it will help w/pics.

Thanks for looking C&C welcomed:D

Looks good Deathspetersgt7 - but as you said better pics (or larger for that matter) would make it easier to appreciate!

[deathspectersgt7]

Thanks CS  is there a good tutorial I am not very good at this pic taking

[Visitor13]

Finally, someone doing the Excoriators!

[Captain Semper]

Well, there are tutorials in the tutorial section... But my point was more in relation to the size than the quality itself... So the question is how do you upload? I suggest you make an album here and then upload straight from your computer. Then you can link the pics you want in any thread and even choose between 3 standard sizes... PM me if you want more details! :)

[Kronus Stormbringer]

Nice battle damage from what I can see, will follow this one with interest :)

[reckoning]

Was wondering when someone would tackle this project. I actually liked Legion of the Damned, even if its namesake had very little page time.

 

Ill be watching.

[deathspectersgt7]

Thanks brothers going to post a larger pic to see If I did it right

I hope this helps to see some of the battle damage.

[Captain Semper]

Great! Now all you need is work a bit on the focus! :D

[deathspectersgt7]

Ok played around with the camera I think I finally getting the hang of this.once again Corpus Captain Zachariah Kersh of The Excoriators 5th Co.

[deathspectersgt7]

Ok here is another view of the scourge . I used a knife and file to do the gouges in the armour.And drilled bullet holes.

thanks for looking.

[reckoning]

Very cool stuff man.

 

Suggestion: You dont have to physically assault the model in order to make it look like battle damage (exception doing believable bullet holes). Scratches and scuffs can be done using paint and brush. Not criticizing your method because I think it looks good. Just saying there are other alternatives if you dont want to permanently alter the model.

[deathspectersgt7]

Thanks brother , I thought of that but when I was sitting at my work area the knife and file kept saying pick me up pick me up . but seriously my painting skills wouldn't make look believable.Will have another post later.

[deathspectersgt7]

Finished up on some of the main characters .Going to post in reg pics but will post larger pics if requested

They are from Anvil Industry .

[Spaced Hulk]

Nice work mate! The battle damage looks really good. Is Ajax's two handed chainsword the one from the Forge World weapons set (been thinking of getting that myself)?

[deathspectersgt7]

Thanks Spaced Hulk. yes it is wish they put more than one in the set. Also it fits well on all torsos even anvil. also here are a couple pic's of painted Crimson Guard test model.

C&C welcomed

The Crimson Guard looks great mate , it's quite a distinctive colour scheme and you've really done it justice.

Quick question about the forge world weapons pack: are the melta bombs that come with it smaller than the usual plastic ones? Reason I ask is that I'm planning a conversion of a Revenant with a belt or bandolier of melta charges, probably slung across his chest plate, and the plastic versions are a bit too large.

[Adeptus-Alaska]

LOL, you should roll them all into one thread and call it "the other four armies thread"

your crimson guard rocks!
