We die on our feet! Start of a new century

[Daemon2027]

Mortis, your back. Sorry that you had to sell the Iron Warriors, glad you kept the World Eaters and didn't give them to some crazy dude ;)

Sons of Horus, yeah it's painted well, but I just think it's a little to green, when I first saw the pic without reading the text I thought it was a nice shade for a Salamander. But that's just me. Personally I think you should keep going with the XIIth, it was your World Eaters that turned me on to oil based washes.

I would love to get my hands on that WE marine! I happen to collect SM painted by people on the B&C that I'm extremely impressed with. I count your work towards the very top of the list. Would you be interested in a marine exchange perhaps? I'll build and paint you a marine to trade for this WE?

[Knight of the Raven]

I don't like the thin rim of the mkIV pauldrons or studded shoulder pads with rims, but he looks good. I like the first one better though.

@Wolf pack....many thanks mate ;-) cheers for your comments

 

@The Hydra...firstly, big apologies for not getting back to you mate...went through a big round of the old life kicking ya in the nuts and kinda got lost for a bit :-(

Secondly, thanks for the reply...I want to stick with the worldies...but I have a crazy plan for an all terminator (100 of them) iron warrior force..couple of leviathans and perturabo...lol who knows

Thanks again though :-)

 

@Ephrael...thank you so much for some very humbling comments...would be my pleasure to send that model to ya :-)....just pm me where you want it to go...we can sort the rest from there...thanks again.

 

@knight of the raven... (need to shorten that lol) thanks again for your comments ;-)...not a fan of the skinny rims then lol...your not gonna lkke this next dude...thanks as always for taking the time to reply..much appreciated! :-)

KotR will do.

His studs and rims look less obnoxious somehow. Love the differently-colored faceplate.

Hey no worries dude, real life keeps punching me in the face to. Hope things are better now?

So your going to restart the IWs or is that just a dream at the mo?

I like the colours of the Alpha Legionnaire, closer to the traditional indigo they originally had.

[chaplain mortis]

@KotR...(lol thats better).. Thanks for the comment..i think the different colour faceplate does set it off better... Glad the rims and studs are more to your liking lol :-).... Thanks again for replying.

 

@The Hydra...thanks for your reply...yer things are getting there..lol sounds like life has been as kind to you aswell..hope all is well

And what do you mean Alpha legion...that dude is a starch Ultramarine!...lol took me awhile to work out...but the bloody 2 "X's" on the shoulderpad is quite confusing haha

Thought i was being clever by putting company markings on the shoulder pad...knew i should have gone for 25th company lol

 

As regards the iron warriors... I did have the most fun painting them up and trying new techniques, and with plastic cataphractii going for so cheap on ebay..

 

A year long plan would be..

 

Perturabo

Golg..( the new termie captain from the BAC box would do as a counts as)

Master of signals

 

3 x 10 tyrant termie squads

3 x contemptors as a talon

6 x 10 cataphractii squads

1 x 10 iron havocs

2 x leviathans

1 x deredeo (or another leviathan)

 

Bit of a ramble, but do-able if i could get my arse in to gear...and just stick to one thing!

[Daemon2027]

Ahh my bad, I just presumed he was XXth cos it has a certain indigo vibe. Saying that I remember your XXth was more turquoise. I would love to see an all terminator Iron Warriors, maybe based on a ship?

I'm tempted to grab the BaC box but I won't use the catraphractii, if you want them there yours.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Excellent Ultramarine there, Chaplain. I love the weathering. Do you use a pencil?

[grand_master85]

Blimey crikey....those plastic marines look awesome, as ever! Really lovely work there, chap.

 

What was your scheme for the Ultras?

[chaplain mortis]

@the hydra....definitely keep me in mind if you want to swap the cataphractii :-) ....still on the fence about what to do though. .nothing changes there lol...thanks for the offer

 

@Raass...hey mate, hope your well? Good eyes there...some of the chips and edges are picked out In pencil... handy things to have :-)

Cheers for popping by.

 

@Grand master...thanks for a great reply...appreciated :-)...the plastics are coming out better than I hoped.

Did you want a full run down on the ultra scheme or just the blue?? Keep up the great work on those white scars

[grand_master85]

@chaplain Mortis - The whole shebang please!

[chaplain mortis]

@Grand master...lol just sent you a pm then i saw your response here haha...any probs let me know....

Might get round to trying a stage by stage tutorial for ultramarines if enough interest.

Cheers again for your comments :-)

[chaplain mortis]

Hey guys and gals....hope you all had a good xmas?

 

So a new year is nearly here...so a new/old project is gonna start (god willing)

 

So im gonna embark on something I have wanted to do for years...a full terminator company..

 

Thanks to the recent plastic cataphractii, this has now become a possibility in the heresy setting

 

So im gonna be sticking with the IVTH legion astartes, such fun to paint, mixing things up each month with either termies or dreadnoughts of varios classes...and watch out for a suprise visit from a primarch.

 

 

And as every project has to have a start.. here is the nearly finished first terminator.

 

Thanks for looking

@Dantioch...well met brother! How goes you and your ultras?? Hope your cracking on with them ;-)

@Kriegriss...many thanks mate :-) really appreciate your comment, glad you like

 

@Reyner...and thanks to you sir for a great comment. ..just hope you wont be to bored popping by and seeing loads more like that lol...again thanks :-)

 

@Slipstreams....hahaha..thanks mate! Gotta love termies...especially supported by dreads! Thanks for commenting :-)

 

@The Hydra...thanks mate..hope all is well...and hoping to get cracking soon on what will be the command squad you provided ;-)...hope to do them justice!

 

Soooooo...work on the first demi squad is going well...just secured some more termies aswell taking the army total so far to:

1 golg

5 termie command squad (thanks hydra)

20 terminators

2 contemptors

[Reyner]

Stop! I want to paint mine now!

 

Also check the not-terminator-but-really terminator pads here if you want some variety :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

Yay! mortis is doing Iron Warriors. Great looking termies so far. Can't wait for the eddies.

[RandomMarine]

Stop! I want to paint mine now!

 

Also check the not-terminator-but-really terminator pads here if you want some variety :)

I've got some of their cog vet pads great moulds but in the flesh I wasn't that keen on them so as yet un used

[chaplain mortis]

@Reyner...awseome link there mate....have just ordered a couple of sets of them :-)... They should add a bit of difference for the termies....thanks again for that!

 

@raass...how goes mate? Hope everything is going well for you :-).. Thanks for the reply mate..think the leviathan will be getting done next :-)
