Gareth Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KBQLCd80RY4/Ulrw2u1nBlI/AAAAAAAAE64/BbjHICo9_ks/s1600/IMG_7531.jpg I was blown away when I first saw the Centurions. I space marine wearing a warsuit was just too awesome. The models are a little stumpy straight out of the box so I added a spacer to the waists to lift them up a bit. I also chopped the legs at the hip to create striding poses so they don't look as static. Having painted the entire 4th and 1st company and half of the scout company, I feel it's time to start a new company. I really like the fluff for the 2nd company but find the paint job lacking. As a compromise I decided to go full retro and paint them like the the old 2nd edition marines. Oh and here's the all important comparison shot. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aJx4ve0q1kY/Ulrw6nks0MI/AAAAAAAAE7k/Mlokcs79CfU/s1600/IMG_7538.jpg Loads more pics over on the blog I contribute to. http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/showcase-ultramarine-centurion.html#comment-form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Very nice! What exactly do you mean by 'legs chopped at the hip'? Cut vertically so the legs are able to swing forward more? Cut horizontally so they twist a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can but please credit Garfy at taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk please. Very nice! What exactly do you mean by 'legs chopped at the hip'? Cut vertically so the legs are able to swing forward more? Cut horizontally so they twist a little? Vertically so the legs can swing forwards. There are WIP shots on my blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuchinawa Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 bwahahahah I love it! it's so vibrant and it just pops. Like I bet someone is like "Dude make 'em dark and grim and stuff" but I really do love these kinda over the top space marine space marines in an old retro theme. It seems light hearted and fun!

Hyaenidae Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Though there isn't a thing in the universe that will get me to like those Centurions, I'll say that you've done an excellent job on painting these fellas. The old school colors rock. Awesome job, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Though there isn't a thing in the universe that will get me to like those Centurions, Challenge accepted. :) Assuming of course, that you don't hate the way I do my Templars. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mercy. Centurion is a rank, not a giant armoured toddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
