We die on our feet! Start of a new century

[chaplain mortis]

Hey all,

 

Thought it would be a good idea to set up a plog for my try at painting a company sized force of the nutters in white and blue,

It will probably be slow going due to work and family but hope you enjoy the updates as and when they come.

First up a few pics of the finished tester marine and my box of goodies to help me on my way.

Hope you like and thanks for looking.

COMPANY???

dude i would be happy to see you do a full squad

so much untouched resin ,time to get building .lock the doors turn off the phone and get cracking

very nice painting again ,weathering looks great in a closeup as well .top stuff sir but i think he needs a weapon unless he is going punch everyone to death

but then he is a world eater and they are that hard

[Montuhotep]

Of course he punches people to death - when the power pack runs out on his chainaxe, what else is he meant to do?

A promising beginning, there!

Hey all,

 

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. ..

 

Got the first of the hq`s ready and just waiting to piece the first ten marines of a 20 man squad together.

Should be ready for painting by the end of the week.

 

Assuming those pesky boys in yellow dont steal my attention as I have a 20 marine breacher squad that would look great in fists colours haha.

 

Thanks for looking.

Just a quick update of the first half of the first tactical squad...and not a chainaxe in site!

Will finish this lot first before starting on the next half.

 

Thanks for looking

[chaplain mortis]

should have some updates pretty soon...

 

would a few skulls on the bases be a bit cheesey??

[Forté]

should have some updates pretty soon...

 

would a few skulls on the bases be a bit cheesey??

Nope. All depends on how the rest of the base looks.

[gunbabe]

thats a nice looking world eater,

funny how these well painted threads die a death unless you constantly update meanwhile the poorly painted ones get the constant "awesome " comments

[reckoning]

Dat blood splatter...

[Athrawes]

Seriously impressive quality for a line Astartes! Nice work, the basing looks great too.

[chaplain mortis]

@forte...i hate painting bases..and faces for that matter haha..so i generallly just go for mud basing using good old mig mud from a tub...thinking a few skulls buried in mud with suitable weathering should work a treat?

@gunbabe..thanks for the comments, will take it as a compliment haha, was generally thinking of renaming this "my thread has died on its feet"

@reckoning34..nothing beats the power of tamiya x-27 for realistic blood on minis..except maybe for real blood???

@athrawes...thanks for your comments...quite a quick scheme really as most of the effects come from the shading and weathering. thanks again.

just throwing up an pic of the tester terminator while i get a picture together of the first 5 basecoated termies..

this guy is not 100% finished but will complete him with the rest of them.

thanks for looking

[Forté]

Sounds good on the skull idea. Take a look at Massive Voodoo for tutorials. Got some good basing ideas.

[Dange]

These are awesome cannot wait to see more :) the blood splatter and weathering are perfect :)

[GrandMagnus]

THose IF are niiiice! Great yellow and weathering. The WE too, you have given them a nice bloodspatter without going too far.

[gunbabe]

That world eater termy is lush

the gold is amazing what are you using?

The fists are very nice too but those world eaters are the best i have seen on these threads

nothing else comes close

[chaplain mortis]

@forte..cheers for the heads up with massive voodoo! Guess I might have to put more work in to my bases..

 

@dange..your comments are well appreciated, many thanks!

 

@anaziel...Don't start about the fists..haha now I want to start on that breacher squad! Thanks for the comments!

 

@gunbabe...the gold is done with vma bright brass washed in agrax and hilight with bright brass...as for the best looking world eaters..I think poom is winning that one haha..thanks though for your comments.

 

Quick update of the models looking more like worldeaters. .next up is the decals and then to mess em up to look like the tester...might do the master of signals first for this thread to celebrate nearly 10 years as a b&c member.

 

Thanks for looking.

[Knight of the Raven]

The master of signals is original, but then again I've only seen like two of them in this site.

 

The painting, weathering and decals look good. I like the cataphracti's brass best.

[Forté]

With the quality of your models they deserve bases to match.

[chaplain mortis]

Hey all,

 

Back on the painting wagon after a brief break, thought I would put up a pic of a marine in w.i.p stage.

All thats left on this guy is the panel wash and to hit it with more weathering to match the tester.

Thanks for looking.

[The_Chaplain]

You've achieved a nice, crisp white on your world eaters-- and the weathering and blood splatter you've done on them so far is impressive.

 

Hoping for another update on those IF breachers at some point though.

[daemonclaw]

nice work bro ,looks like world eaters might be the dudes you stick with eh?
