Chaplain Raeven Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The poses for all your marines in this thread have been really amazing so far. Splendid work. Your choice for the combi-flamer with the Dev's made me giggle. Seems like an unlikely choice for guys with 36" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Fantastic conversion work! I like that the assault squad had Beaky helms with wings on most of them - very angelic. :) I confess that I'm not fully sold on the Blood Angel jumping legs though (they look very BA), but the other stuff is very very good indeed. Well done sir, well done. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raztalin Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks GRC - the reason behind that was more an anti-charge deterrent ... hopefully, they will only get charged the once, and he'll do enough to thin their numbers! @Major - I was running out of Assaulty / Jump legs, and they were the least "offensive" of the BA ones. I've since bought a Death Co. box set and they have some different ones there that could have been better but by that stage, they were glued. I'll just have to try and make sure the painting makes sure they stay DA-esc! Major_Gilbear 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. 12 HB-shots (let's hope it would still be that many) and a flamer with our improved overwatch could indeed prove to be quite the deterrent. I wouldn't risk charging that!

Raztalin Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hadn't really thought about it like that ... as I don't play very often at all (maybe one small game a year) I wasn't 100% sure on the rules. Whilst building them I was under the assumption that if they had shot in the shooting phase that they couldn't fire overwatch when charged - but now I think about it, they would only be getting charged in the opponents turn ... silly me! oh well!

Major_Gilbear Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I've since bought a Death Co. box set Good call - the arms have decorative ropes and such around the wrists too, which I have found great for using on Company Veterans. The double-handed TH arms in that set are also begging to be made into a Chaplain wielding his Crozius two-handed. ;) Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sound tactic you have. Your sarge won't be shooting anyway in favour of his buffs, so that precious shot is saved easily. The flamer is a nice measure for the sneaky hobbitsessssss that manage to sneak up on your guys. Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenz Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Aaaaaaw man, I'm loving this! Nice models, you're really nailing these guys. The assault marines are so dynamic, and that chaplain looks ready to start splitting skulls. Great angle shots on those devs... Very manly poses ;) What torso and cod piece is that you've used for the dev sergeant? Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raztalin Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Cheers Greenz. The base model is Ennox Sorrlock from the Deathwatch Overkill box. He had the number 1 on his knee, which for me just screams 1st Legion. I replaced the Combi Melta for a combi Flamer, his Deathwatch arm for the Devastator Sgt. bionic arm and the backpack from the Dev kit. All his limbs on the left hand side of his body are now bionic - probably tried to play "keepy uppies" with a grenade or some sort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemac Vradon Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 They look really great mate, the Sanguinary Guard legs worked out well too. I really love the chaplain :tu: Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he uses a Combi-flamer now. He used a combi-plasma once, but he should have listened to Chaplain Snoop Dogg. Drop it like it's hot, drop it likes it's hot...

Lostrael Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Those guys look great. I really like the assault marines. *need to sift thought the Death Watch boxes again*. Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 As a quick further suggestion... The Death Company come with a number of engraved "X" shapes that need to be disguised, and I found standard Milliput by far the easiest way to fill them in. Because it behaves just like traditional clay before it cures, its easy to get a really thin smooth finish without needing to do much afterwards, and you can even rinse the parts in warm water to get any excess off. GS and liquid GS are nowhere near as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raztalin Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) @Lostrael - thanks @Major - thanks for the tip on the Milliput, I'll get some in. Just another quick WIP pic - I started this a while back, you know, back when we could play a DeathWing only Army ... So he would have been another adaptation of Belial or Generic Co. Master in TDA. Both arms and magnetised, and so are the wrists. I lost focus on him when I started to build the Lion's Blade. But thought it time I at least gave him some screen time. Let me know what you think: Pic link died Cheers as always.

Greenz Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm thinking that's one of the best Belial counts as that I've seen in a long time. He's dripping with character, and I know I'll be "borrowing" some ideas from him! Raztalin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raztalin Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Wowzers - doesn't time fly!?!? So with the arrival of our first child, I've actually had some time at night to apply some paint to models!!! -I know, shock horror It's not a lot but its something, and by using a wet pallet, i can easily just drop brush, attend to screaming daughter - change nappy / apply hugs etc. then pick up brush and continue! So without further ado, here is my progress on the Company Master: Pic link died I've also made a start on the next tact Squad: Pic link died And for my birthday I got a little treat (such a good sculpt!): Pic link died Lots of work still to do on all of these, but no doubt i'll have plenty of sleepless nights ahead!! Looking forward to 8th dropping too, and will be getting a set of the Primaris marines to supplement the ranks! Peace out peeps, and hopefully the next update won't be too far away!!

Greenz Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 First off, congrats on your daughter! Oh the first child, I wish I could tell you it gets easier, but it doesn't ;) Second, glad to see you're still churning out models. Solid paint jobs brother, hopefully you can keep that momentum going! The wet pallet is such a wonderful invention!

Raztalin Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Looking great mate . I'm still most excited about your Company Master, It's just such a cool model. I will have to kill him Nemac Cheers bud. Depending on what time "little one" decides to go to bed this eve I'm hoping to get the highlights done on him and Cypher. I tried to do a hazard stripe effect on the Sgt.'s chainsword too, but failed with the masking spacing, so have painted over that - more patience will be required to nail that me thinks! Looking forward to adding some Primaris to the ranks too - they look like really nice models to paint! Nemac Vradon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
