JeffTibbetts Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Looking good as usual. I like the shoulder plate on the RG. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278149-ratboys-project-den/page/3/#findComment-3568209 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy1664 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 I present to you my new DIY chapter the White Scorpions. The base and knee pads are blank because I haven't worked out any fluff for them yet. The colour scheme is based on the Texas Longhorns football uniform, plus orange is my favourite colour and is a nice change from all the dark cammo stuff I have been painting recently. Also there are not too many orange chapters out there so they look quite unique.

Mike Mee Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I like them dude, love how clean your orange and white is.

Aqui Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Some excellent stuff in this topic! And the colour scheme for the White Scorpions is exactly what I'd like for my Amber Dragons! Could you tell me how you got such an awesome shade of Orange?

Ratboy1664 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 the orange is really easy surprisingly, Chaos Black spray undercoat, Jokaero Orange basecoat, then go over all of the orange with Feugan Orange shade. I then highlight every line with Troll Slayer Orange and then go over the most prominent edges with Fire Dragon Bright. Unlike yellow which requires loads of coats to get a nice finish, orange turns out to be a piece of cake. Hope this helps.

Ratboy1664 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 First up is a quick change. Following the discovery of a transfer sheet and a quick search on Lexi my Raptor has become a Death Eagle, who are far more obscure and therefore much cooler in my eyes so hands off! And another finished White Scorpion. I currently have another one of each on the go and they are a nice contrast to paint.

Ratboy1664 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Greetings all, I haven't posted for a while as I have been painting my Blood Bowl minis, and until a Dwarf engineer sticks a steam engine into his kitbag they remain non power armour and therefore illegal. However I am back to share my marines with you starting with one of my favourite chapters and paint schemes, a Flesh Tearer. The base is intentionally blank as I have various options to investigate in this area, hope you like. My advice to people considering starting a thread like this is do it! The B&C members are really knowledgeable, helpful and kind. I think my painting has improved quite a bit since my first post and I believe that this is due to having a thread to keep me motivated and therefore in practise.

Ratboy1664 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 First up apologies are in order as after I posted the pics of my Flesh Tearer I realised that I hadn't highlighted his arms! So to rectify that: And as a bonus I finished another Death Eagle, let me know what you think.

Ratboy1664 Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 This Raven Guard has deliberately been given newer armour and weapons with little or no personal decoration as I wanted him to be a noob who had just graduated from the scout company and is now continuing his training in the 8th.

Skylifter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Love your models, especially the Flesh Tearers and Death Eagles. The Raven Guard scheme on a non-beakie looks really cool, too. I'm not too fond of beakies anyway, though, so that might colour my judgement. How did you do the weathering on that Scythe of the Emperor marine? Anything unusual? I would like to get a similar effect on a few marines sometime.

Ratboy1664 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Nothing difficult, just a bit of black paint dabbed onto the armour with a sponge and then a bit od silver painted in the bigger bits. For scratches I do exactly the same only paint them on. Hope this helps.

Ratboy1664 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Here is an attempt at a Star Phantom, and yes I am a coward and didn't attempt the freehand symbol just yet but I will.

Ratboy1664 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 After reviewing my troops the other day I came away with the impression that my Flesh Tearers looked a bit too Codex if you get what I mean. Then whilst trawling through Forge World's website I saw a nasty looking bunch of Sons of Horus troops who I thought would look great as Flesh Tearers (which is unusual for me as I must be the only person on the B&C who doesn't like the look of any mark of armour prior to 6). The result is this. Much love. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278149-ratboys-project-den/page/3/#findComment-3648349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
