GrandMagnus Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Nice brother, the bearded marine looks really well. Great way to make the sergeant stand out, now I feel like adding a scout squad to my GofC.

The Yak Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Really nice scouts. I love your work. I must say that Space Wolf a couple of pages back is beauty. Lovely combination of colours.

I must say that Space Wolf a couple of pages back is beauty. Lovely combination of colours. What do you have planned next? Thanks! :) I have 5 Tactical Marines I'd like to get finished before next week when the ETL starts for which I'll be painting more Tempestus models. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279234-mikeys-marine-projects-mephiston/page/6/#findComment-3665797 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplainmikey Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Decide to finally have a proper stab at a Heresy Era army and again I'm going with Emperor's Children. Cobbled together 7 MKIV Marines from bits used in my other armies which, whilst meaning I had to tear apart some primed Crimson Fists and a Minotaur or two, gives me a decent start along with my Kakophoni and Fulgrim. Test model is done except for the base. Pretty pleased with how it turned out, especially the face. These guys will be the traitors that followed Fulgrim and be set after the Maraviglia (spelling?) so will feature some Chaos parts through out.

chaplainmikey Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 That is an amazing take on the purple and it's 1000% the image I have of the iiird Thanks Jaspcat. :) do feel like the mini is off centered by only on shoulder trim being gold, but that might just be me. What are you planning for the base? I was worried the gold on only one pad wouldn't work. Do you think I should paint the other trim gold to balance out the scheme or drop the gold completely? I'm not sure about the basing. The 2 Kakophoni I finished were to be part of my Chaos army so have my standard grey bases but I think I want to try something different. Any suggestions? Absolutely stunning. Lovely colours and the freehand really stands out. Be good to see what else you come up with. Thank you Forte. :) I have a few ideas but I'm thinking my next lot (after the Tac Marines) will be a squad of Palatine Blades. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279234-mikeys-marine-projects-mephiston/page/6/#findComment-3667650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice purple though lol Ha ha, yeah, I also kinda 'repurposed' the MK IV and MKVI Vets that I had painted as Crimson Fists. What can I say, I'm a cheap skate! :P Jasp- BA parts do look good on the IIIrd. My mock-up of a Centurion is based on an old metal Sicarius model with a Sang Guard sword and shaved down Death Mask. ;) Another box of Sang Guard are a must. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279234-mikeys-marine-projects-mephiston/page/6/#findComment-3668393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplainmikey Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I do think painting the trim on both shoulder pads would balance it out, and I always imagine all of the Emperors Children with gold on them somewhere. As for the base, I think something with a little green would be a good start, as it would contrast well with the purple. Perhaps something with a little grass? Or is grass not gritty enough for Warhammer? -Tarvik I think you're right so I've decided that both trims will be gold on these Marines. Maybe a dark brown base with patches of dead grass, or at least grass that isn't too bright? Thanks for the help Tarvik. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279234-mikeys-marine-projects-mephiston/page/6/#findComment-3668871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Finished a second Pre-Heresy EC, this time the Sgt.
