Sigur Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Hey fellas, between painting World Eaters I got a short notice call for help to paint some reinforcements for an army I painted last year - Crimson Fists Space Marines based on the Rynn City siege. Basically the info was "I need two attack bikes, five assault terminators and a Land Raider Redeemer painted and at my place within the next 30 days". Well, here's the first piece: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bMXKa1ziu-M/Ub8k7ED79QI/AAAAAAAAC14/4X18g62KEro/s1600/atbneu1cschrift1.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B7zC8jo7nCg/Ub8k6bA27OI/AAAAAAAAC1w/vg-JizFdrLA/s1600/atbneu1aschrift1.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-995qJgaxTwA/Ub8k6pH7ciI/AAAAAAAAC10/EDjzgBtMUTo/s1600/atbneu1bschrift1.jpg The idea was to make the attack bikes look a bit different to each other as there is a strong focus on individuality in this army as you might remember. These guys have been besieged for quite a while, fending off Orks left and right constantly, so the fellas are dirty, wounded and kind of crazy and their equipment beaten and worn. On this fist attack bike, the gunner's throwing a frag grenade at something they're just passing by which is an image I always enjoyed for some reason. As always, C&C are highly welcome and don't forget to "like" Battle Brush Studios on Facebook, check out my own blog/site for info on my painting/modelling service and many more pictures. Also check out Tale of Painters and feel free to contact me about any commission job you have in mind. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277017-commission-crimson-fists-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus de Mortalis Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Looks amazing. That is the best looking attack bike I have seen in a while. I really like the individuality you've added to it! Although the base makes it look like the bike has to make a dangerous terrain test just sitting there!

Kaika87 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That looks really amazing. I sincerely wish I could do weathering like that, the bike looks like it's been through some tough scrapes. Nicely done! Where did you get the driver's shoulder pad by the way?

Brother Eleysium Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Like the model, a lot, even though I'm not digging the head wrap, or headband on the gunner. Whichever it's supposed to be.

Sigur Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Okay, I'm back from walking the dog to a "dog bath" with a friend. Before that, I managed to finish the Land Raider and take some pictures. Even had time to edit (crop and such) them, even uploaded them, but just had to leave before I could post them properly. ;)http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr9schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr8schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr7schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr6schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr5schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr4schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr3schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr2schrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/lr1schrift1.jpgDone! Off to the post office with you rascals tomorrow and they should be home way before the end of the month. Hope that you like the Land Raider. :-) As you probably know by now, these are meant to represent the force that held Rynn City during the siege so all the Marines and vehicles are meant to be really messed up by now. The Land Raider's got a fair amount of extra stowage and vox so it can work as a mobile command center as well to quickly set up hard points of whatever you call it at new hot spots.

Firepower Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Very cool The flamers seem awfully clean though, given the condition of...well, everything else. No scorching? Edit- Never mind. I couldn't see it in the direct profile, but the other angles show it much clearer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277017-commission-crimson-fists-army/#findComment-3397531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylu Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Only one criticism. Why does the gunner not have a crimson fist (like you did on the attack bikes)? Both his hands are blue!

Greyshift Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Very nice, do you mind sharing how you achieved the dust effect on the tracks and lower hull?

Sigur Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 @Firepower: Thanks very much. I was surprised how much the metal still shines through the soot in the pictures myself. :D It looks proper burnt up in real life. @Cylu: :D Oh dear. Thanks for the heads up, I made a happy little mistake there. @Greyshift: Thank you. It's a mix of airbrush, drybrush, "stippling" (if that's a word) and pigments. So pretty much everything in the book except for actually dunking the model into dirt and dust. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277017-commission-crimson-fists-army/#findComment-3397923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigur Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hey fellas, here's the last entry for this batch of reinforcements for the commissioned Crimson Fists army: Here's Assault Terminators squad GALLACUS (as you may remember, this army is based on the force at the defence of Rynn City):http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/astermwhitebackgroundschrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/asterm1schrift1.jpgHope that you like them. edit: Right, I fixed my avatar picture now too.

Sigur Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 @Brother Alecium: Cheers. I'm quite a fan of those head bandages. Makes them look wounded and battered and whatnot. Not sure if you can see it but there's some crusted blood running across the forehead and over the right eye. Here's the second Attack Bike: The other attack bike has the driver firing his bolt pistol whilst driving because in 40k you just can't keep drivers of anything from getting their handguns out and firing them somewhere. They also got a bunch of battle honours on the attack bike, probably because the gunner keeps focussed and doesn't start chucking grenades left and right.http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/atbneu2bschrift1.jpghttp://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/18/gallery/space-marines/atbneu2aschrift1.jpgSo glad I finally found some bases for these attack bikes too.
