Something fishy over here

GodEmperorOfMankind · September 26, 2013

Inspired by Nurglings Astral Claws, needing to get some of those sweet new sternguard vets, and having a bunch of DV marines and other assorted loyalist parts lying around, I've decided to undertake a new chapter, the Carcharodons!

Without further delay, here's my WIP of my captain:

Not quite finished yet (apart from missing his left hand that is) I'm not sure how to finish painting his face (thinking of a gentle blue wash to the recesses)

Hoping to get his command squad (made up of sternguard) sorted in the new few days

Squeaky · September 26, 2013

Nice start brother, I agree adding a blue wash and maybe a little grey to the face as their flesh turns grey also the eyes turn completely black when a carcharodon's get older. Don't forget the blood :)

GodEmperorOfMankind · September 27, 2013

And my captain's command squad ( those new vanguard vets are awesome!)

Glad I'm not the only one who gets crazy ideas like this!

Looking forward to seeing more from your project here. What are your plans for the master of relics' backpack? I see you did a swap out on that front. (Really liking the visual of that enormous storm shield with the mk v heresy armor the master of relics has)

tomfoolery · September 28, 2013

I like where this is going!.

GodEmperorOfMankind · September 28, 2013

The new kits are just great! Really detailed and sooo many bits. I honestly don't mind the price with these kits.

The original backpack will either go on ebay or stay in my blitz box until there is suitable inspiration. I got the model because I like the mk5 armour, and he looks so mean!

Glad you appreciate the thread. Hopefully I'll be able to post more by sunday

Urauloth · September 28, 2013

Oh man, the galaxy's biggest jerks.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the sternguard kit... it really is one of the nicest things GW have ever made. Are you going to do the swirly patterning thing on the armour?

GodEmperorOfMankind · September 28, 2013

I wish I was good enough to do the tribal designs, unfortunately I'm not

GodEmperorOfMankind · September 28, 2013

Some of the squad with hammers and shields:

Where's the head from on the first guy in the post above?

GodEmperorOfMankind · September 28, 2013

I think he was from the old baal predator metal kit. But I could be wrong. All I know was he was sat in my bitz boz, is metal, and looks just right for my command squad

EDIT: Found him, I was correct

Squeaky · October 29, 2013

Awesome stuff. Like how you have done the grey flesh and deep black eyes :) can I ask what colours you used? Keep it up mate hopefully il actually get some of mine done xD

goosey_j · October 29, 2013

Hey buddy,

Very nice Carcharodons. They're my chapter as well, though unfortunately I possess now painting ability, so I'm getting them down via commission instead.

I was wondering about their grey skin - where abouts is it written that they develop grey skin? I scoured my IA10 book and I could only find references to the very palid, almost corpse-like colour to their skin, with the oldest of them having eyes that are entirely black. Or is it just something you decided to go with when you were coming up with the concept of the army?

Either way, I like it. It's very cool.

GodEmperorOfMankind · December 26, 2013

Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I've been away a while. To answer your questions, the flesh was done mixing grey and flesh, then washing with blue, then highlighting with grey and higher amounts of flesh/white.

As for why that colour of flesh, it's because they're sharks! Also I drew a lot of inspiration from this picture

http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120806212202/warhammer40k/images/5/55/Carcharodons_by_rumbles.jpg

Here's some of my work while I've been away:

Biohazard · December 26, 2013

Really liking thy Storm Talon conversion. The rest of the guys are looking great as well.

Nusquam · December 26, 2013

Awwwwyessssss I love me some Carcharodons! Looking good

infyrana · December 26, 2013

How did I miss your sternguard ? honestly... Hammer and Shield, Greyed armour, blue skin ... approved indeed, very nice :)

deathspectersgt7 · December 26, 2013

Very cool!!!!!

GodEmperorOfMankind · June 28, 2014

Well instead of cracking on with me ETL vow I've been distracted by the sharks. So I present you with the first of 3 centurions that are going to be transported in a stormraven to drop on unsuspecting enemies.

Also anyone who's got the 3rd HH book will have read that the majority of Terran born Raven Guard were dispatched into the outer darkness as nomad predation fleets. Also has anyone noticed the forearm markings on the XIXth Legionary?

SW1 · June 28, 2014

Oooo ... Tasty!!! Do you serve them with chips and a squeeze of lemon?

Really like the predation fleet info. Not spotted that before you mentioned it. ;)

Squeaky · June 28, 2014

Sweet so I wonder where the shark actually comes from :) I've always had a suspicion since forgeworld painted this http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/mkIIcommand.jpg but yeh good to have you back mate on the sharky front :D that centurion looks sweet!

GodEmperorOfMankind · June 29, 2014

Cheers guys

Squeaky I'd not noticed the detailing on the banner, that's awesome!

I've got a 2000 point list made up now, and I have most of the models so if I can focus there should be more updates.

So what's on the list?
