Mikey's Marine projects - Mephiston

[Battybattybats]

That's some expensive base decoration there but it looks very cool.

[Brother-Librarian Haegl]

Nice Knight and base (and everything else in the whole thread, for that matter)! 

 

However, being both Tyranid AND Hacked up by a gigantic chainsword, I would like to suggest the addition of blood, gore- and/or slime strings on the Trygon. If you decide to give it a go, I can recommend this tutorial. 

 

  Good luck with the progress of your projects. The Emperor protects.

Finished my Knight. Getting pictures has been a pain thanks the size of the model and the crap weather, however here it is- Velstadt, t, The Penitent Lord.

I like that blue on the knight much more than I would have imagined i would.

[Forté]

The more I look at it the more I like it. And mostly due to the arms being the opposite way round to how you usually see them.

 

Only thing that I find isn't coming across (and your not the first so don't take it personally) is a sense of weight. Not the easiest thing to show.

You're right about the weight thing. I'm not brilliant with GS and other converting methods so I opted not to reposition the toes or have the foot sinking into the Trygon's torso, which was my original plan. Didn't want to mess up an £85 model. :P

 

Glad you like it though I wish the photos captured the details like the weathering better. :/

[Forté]

Know what you mean. Photos always seem to show up any little mistakes you make but not little details you'd like people to see (like the veins on my Forgefiend's tongue for example).

wow! Looks truly stunning! Love the colors, and the turquoise goes brilliantly with your metal work. Bravo!

 

How was the assembly, overall? Things fit together they way they should?

The model went together really easily and with no issues. It also was a suprisingly quick build for such a large model. :P

[geektom]

Good to know... I am considering taking the plunge, but have been intimidated.

They are a tonne of fun to assemble and paint. 

I'd love to see you paint a Knight. ;)

Back to painting the Wolves and I've finished 2 Grey Hunters giving me 3 total. Only 27 to go....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[chaplainmikey]

More Wolves! Well, one more Wolf, with a standard. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Montuhotep]

Thank God, at last there is another Great Company instead of everyone running around with the Blackmane company.....

 

These look very good indeed - how did you do the grey?

[chaplainmikey]

Thanks. I'm not too fond of Ragnar's Company markings either, much prefer the lesser represented Companies. :)

 

The grey is:

Basecoat Eshin Grey

Shade with Agrax Earthshade

Highlight with Dawnstone

Highlight again but with Administratum grey

 

:)

[deathspectersgt7]

The red is Khorne Red on the shoulders, elsewhere I highlight it with Evil Suns Scarlet and Troll Slayer Orange.

 

The Wolf pelts I base with Gorthor brown, Highlight with Karak Stone, highlight with Screaming Skull.

 

Hope that helps. :)

Got my copy of Stormclaw today and wasted no time putting together the Krom model. Swapped the head out for one I felt looked more befitting a grizzled Wolf Lord.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[BrotherJim]

Very nice mate, the purple cloak really works well.

Thanks for sharing, such a nice model

[recon0321]

Very very nice...I wish I could have gotten a hold of krom....

@mikey are the other spaces regular SW kits or unique?
