New Army Blog: Storm Brothers (Primaris Chappy WIP on p.33)

[geektom]

Came across this metal figure-- it is a Grey Knight/Inquisitor model, correct?

 

Is there any good fluff that would explain him being a part of one of my regular squads?

Its Captain Draco of the Black Templars. It would be easier to fit in a Black Templar with your army since most people don't even know the existence of Grey Knights in the Imperium. Maybe he was seconded to the Storm Brothers for a witch hunting mission? Also just read through the whole thread, fantastic stuff! Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks, man! That is great to know! I just checked out some pictures on Draco online-- the one I have has a generic backpack instead of the correct one... I think I can swap out one of my extra Sternguard ones to spruce him up a bit. Fun!

 

I have been kind of scattered on my painting, lately-- I just went through and cataloged everything that have and sorted it into painted and unpainted, and then made a list of what I still need to make a complete 2nd Company. That will be my focus moving forward until I get that done.

That one is metal- just gray primer.

Curious why all your squads have nine members. Is that a fluff thing for your chapter?

 

Also just noticed the name of the sniper scout serg, you cheeky so and so. I bet there are others but that's the one I noticed.

Nine + 1 Sgt- the way I pasted the text doesn't make that clear

Wow this is the first time I have seen this thread...all I have to say is wow! sorry if this has been asked before but do you have a tutorial on how to paint these bad boys?

[geektom]

Thanks, Brother-- no one has ever asked for a tutorial before, but I could do one if there was interest.

 

What specific things would you want to see covered in the tutorial?

Well kind of all of it to be honest! the way you paint everything interests me, looking for a colour scheme myself and im looking for inspiration haha

Thanks again-- I am set to do some more troops soon (completing the Stormtalon, currently) and when I do, I document my process.

[Brother Michaels]

Nice! :)

 

would be cool to see a step by step guide

 

cant wait to see them :)

[The Mad Hermit]

Okay. It's confession time.

 

When I took my first look at the first page of this thread, my first thought was "I don't think that color scheme is going to be anything but a disaster."

 

The stellar worksmanship... and seeing actual models painted up so nicely has made me eat my words.

No worries, man-- everybody says the same thing! 

[JeffTibbetts]

I've asked for a tutorial before, sort of. Seconded! I still have a bike to put together that I plan on painting as a seconded Storm Brother. I still need to figure out where to get a horse tail, though.

[geektom]

I must be ready for my red helmet- I just assembled a Rhino body without ever referring to the instructions:-P

[geektom]

Devastators WIP- continuing to scale back the amount of red and stick with the original theme. Big guns are fun to paint.

Testing, testing... one, two.

 

Does this picture show up?

[geektom]

Hmmm, looks like the link works, but doesn’t show the picture here.

 

I refuse to give in to photobuckets extortion, but will be having lots of updates once I figure the best way to post photos here. Stay tuned!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Not bad. I noticed a "IX" on one of the Devastators' left pauldron. Is this Chapter a Blood Angels (IX Legion) successor?

No, just a squad marking- 2nd Company (yellow trim), 9th squad.

 

My guys are White Scars successors.

[JeffTibbetts]

Dang. I was hoping for more pics. Get on it, would ya? Where's the captain WIP from Facebook? 

[Disruptor_fe404]

I recommend imgur for hosting these days. I tried Google Photos like you did, but it doesn't allow hotlinking/embeds.

[geektom]

Do you mean the posed one I posted in the Conversion group? That is a Sgt., actually- but I am thinking I may do some Captains soon. I tend to always use my "Khan on Jetbike", but it would be good to model up some regular Captains, too. BTW, I dropped from the FB group- quite a few unfriendly/unkind people on there...

 

I am trying to figure out the picture hosting thing- I have to get a bunch of pics off of Photobucket and Google Photo.

 

I am going to  follow @Disruptor_fe404 advice and try imgur

 

I have been painting my first Primaris squad... as traditional White Scars. Sure is easier than my scheme- even with all the line-filling, lol.
