Hey guys!

 

Since I am in Sicily for the next 4 months, I thought about starting a new army for the new Space Marine Codex.

After a while I settled on the Storm Lords - mainly because I like halved schemes, they are partly white and I wanted a bike army to get the most out of the new grav weapons.

 

Right now with me I have a tactical squad, but once I am back in Germany I am going to add the bikes, centurions and all the other stuff to this 1500 points project.

 

I just finished a test model (to be honest, it was the second), yet varnishing left the model with tiny tiny white dots here and there which I had to clean up (mainly on the black parts). Sicily is very humid, I don't think it is really recommended to use varnish here... alas I will finish the other models and varnish them when I get back to Germany for Christmas.

Comments and criticism welcome.

Next year I am going to print and add decals to it... I will post pictures of other completed models here!

 

Greets,

Wow, I've always had a soft spot for the Storm Lords (what a striking scheme they have!) and you've pulled it off marvelously! These are the best I've seen.

I would never dare tackle such a project, as they would require alot more talent than i have, unfortunately.

Only thing I'd change would be the red arrow on red ground on the shoulderpad. Kind of hard to make out. Insignium Astartes uses a scheme with white arrows and roman numerals in black, which is easier to read.

The final highlight on the yellow could be a bit brighter, but maybe it's just the picture.

 

Very nice, clean painting and good choice with the Storm Lords. My FLGS has a Storm Lords army on display and they look great. I like it.

It's the picture... the final highlight on the yellow (Bleached/Ushabti Bone and then 2 coats of Lamenters Yellow) is actually pretty striking.

The thing with the red arrow... I was thinking the same beforehand, but - maybe it's a stupid reason - I want different symbols than in my Raven Guard army. As far as I am concerned: As long as I can read the tactical symbol, I am satisfied. In addition, I had the chance to use the numbers from the Cadian transfer sheet... msn-wink.gif

Thanks so far!

Storm Lords? HECK YES. Your first marine looks excellent, especially considering the challenge of such a complex colour scheme. I shall be watching this thread with great interest, as, I imagine, will many others. :)

 

The eyes of the B&C are upon thee brother, make us proud.

Hey guys!

Thanks for the positive feedback so far!

I hope it's okay to use this thread for all the pictures... I don't want to bother anyone following the WIP pictures and then start searching the thread with the finished pictures...

Yesterday I sat down and got myself to work on the flamer guy. Beforehand I converted his flamer to resemble a dragon's head and attached some scales (from the shield of a Lizardmen Saurus warrior) to his shoulderpad. I was sick of all the rolls, all the pelts and so on... thus, I decided to add scales. Just something different msn-wink.gif

I will have to basecolour the rest of the metallic parts and the black, but then I'll start on the white... hopefully within a few days, but with guests right now it's hard to find spare time.

I hope you like him!
