Maerlen Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Greeting and the Emperor's blessing upon you. For the first time ever I feel confident enough to post my creations in this forum. All of the techniques I have used I have found and learned from here. So in a weird bizarre way, these are your creations too! This is the first picture I've taken of a marine from a new tactical squad that will become part of the Skyhammer OrbitalStrike Force as found in Warzone: Damnos The aim is to eventually represent the entire ultramarine force that fought on Damnos including Deathwatch kill-team etc. These are taken with my smartphone and so I will try again tomorrow as the colours are a bit too bright. So, basically this is a first try to paint battle damage. as for other details, I'm only just starting with freehand (the campaign badge if yo can see it ;) ) Used Microsol and Microset for the transfers. C&C Very welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Pretty good. Nice and neat paint job. One query - I thought it was the 2nd Co. on Damnos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Indeed but elements of the 3rd, 5th and 6th were also there. According to the book, the skyhammer orbital strike force existed entirely of 3rd Company tactical squads. So I started with those to get a change of colour :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Finally succeeded in making better photographs... If you find mistakes/imperfections feel free to share :) I'm prod of these, downside is my first mini's are starting to look terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maerlen Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Finishing of the rest of the squad, 2 marines left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Nice work with the squad markings and chapter insignia - something I keep meaning to do for my Exorcists but keeps slipping my mind. Love the weathering too, looks like he's been doing the Emperor's work for a while. I'm prod of these, downside is my first mini's are starting to look terrible Haha I know the feeling, my Tau force (and some of my first Black Legionnaires) that I painted years look absolutely shocking compared to some of the stuff I'm putting out now! Keep it up dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Thanks ! For the moment I have 1 marine left to finish. I did half with this technique (gouges and cuts in the armour) and other half sponge weathering (armour flaking off). Still deciding what is best. when they're all finished I'll let the community decide :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Finally the 5th Squad of the 3rd Company is finished! I certainly hope to see c&c. I chose to continue with the sponge technique for the weathering as I can apply it more subtle. If there are any questions, I'll do my utmost best to answer them! Cheers, Maerlen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Invictus Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Nice to see Chaplain Cassius there, he's definitely my favourite character and model, nice to see him done justice! And that Land Raider is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted May 8, 2015 Author Share Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks Saul :) LRR is one of my first attempts to create weathering. Now that I've gotten better I intend to go back to him and touch him up a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thousand Eyes Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I am really liking how you are creating them into a unified force, trust me on this as I normally don't like ultramarines at all. So saying it is good takes a lot out of me. Keep at it man, glad you are finding your technique is improving over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks! It just makes more sense to me to have a force unified by a certain mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maerlen Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Latest work. I know how he looks but he isn't one of my favourite models so I just finished him and no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Pretty solid. One (small) comment: give your red helmetted sergeant green eye lenses, not red ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
