Olis Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Nice kitbash, brother. More of the same, please. :) As for colour scheme, I think a nice bright orange could be good, especially considering the name (and no, I didn't confuse it with 'luminous' :P ). Perhaps orange and white, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeZephyr Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Using the good Olisredan's suggestion as a segue to a shameless plug, have a look at xmercx's plog for a good orange and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A D-B Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Bless you, guys. Thanks a lot for the encouragement so far. And... it continues. Good start. Who is this representing, out of interest? Vet Sarge? Naw, these guys are just the first two standard Assault Marines. Nice use of bits there bud. I look forward to seeing how you paint him. I have a test model that I'm working on that's had a weird process (White, then yellow wash, then red glaze... Not sure if I love it or hate it...) but I really like this guide from How to Paint Space Marines, as it looks almost old-school "Blood Angels Orange". I asked one of the Sales & Marketing guys if this was okay to post - it doesn't show the step-by-step details in a screenshot but you get the idea of the end result. So I might try this and see how it goes. Sweet start. Will we be seeing some background for them? Yeah. Not an official B&C-style Index Astartes article, but my Angels Numinous Word.doc is at about 6,000 words right now, and almost finished. They're getting some heavy development for my campaign, alongside John French's Red Seraphs. There's a hell of a lot of background incoming. Very unique mix of arms and armor. I try to use at least 3-4 different kits for every one of them, because: I want them to look unique-ish without space bling. I love bling on officers, but not much on battle-brothers. To represent the Angels Numinous' penchant for battlefield scavenging and infrequent resupply. To reflect the fact that a mix of armour marks would be more common among most Chapters than most boxes imply. Although the new Tactical Squad kit has loads of variant armour mark options, which rocks on toast for my tastes. I think the second model is made from 5 kits, and the first is made from 7 or 8. The benefits of a huge bitz box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Huh, I was wrong. Maybe you will get some paint on these guys. :D Good luck on your plog, man, will be looking forward to seeing what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Diverse kitbashery and an attempt at an old-school orange/red? This does look very promising indeed. I will be taking your sig at it's word, though, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Don't let me pressure you, but I'm eager to see your ideas - both in concept/fluff and execution - for the Death Company and Sanguinary Guard.

Xenith Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 If I screw this one up for it to turn into yet another unpainted army, then I'm just going to quit and play Chess Regicide.I dunno. They say that all-black and all-white armies are some of the hardest to pull off... Love the kitbashes, the paint scheme looks good. I'm a little wary of nuln-oil-washing Mephiston red. I'd maybe try in on something else first? I would have thought painting it into the recesses, or a carroburg wash may have been better. I think the oil would smear and darken the surface of the parmour too much. Maybe thin it a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Really liking the diverse armour your going for. Reminds me of a story but for the life of me I can't remember which one. A marine chapter gets a load of armour recovered (might have been salamanders?) and another chapter tried nicking it as they're really badly supplied. Lol ... Looks like I'm going to end up scrambling through books later trying to work out which BL book it was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Captain Redd Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Very nice mix of bits, I am excited to see more, to say the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plague Angel Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Assuming those guys are from the same squad, I like how varied the armor looks between them, but they'll still look consistent since neither has excess bling. From the melta-pistol, I'm gathering stud-head is the sergeant? So he'll stand out just enough, but not too much. Good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 ADB - Nice selection of bitz for the models - interesting without being too cluttered, which can be a challenge when mixing marks/weapons from multiple kits. Something Carcharadon-esque about the Heresy armoured chap. As for the Angels Numinous, although i'm reluctant to give any advice as you're an experienced modeller, i'd suggest you go for something closer to the WD scheme if you're looking at an "old school" red? Washes/glazes can be a difficult blend to keep consistent. I've used a not dissimlar process as the picture above to complete my Pre-heresy Blood Angels, and with the removal of the Nuln washes you can get a very striking red/orange look. I used the fleshtone washes to shade but at the "warmer" scale as I think a pure black wash can sometime be a little much. It can also darker the red to something more Khornate than you'd want perhaps. The trick is to get a suitable orange highlight to drag it closer to the old 2nd/3rd edition techniques. Or score yourself some OOP Red Ink. I managed with a combination of the OOP Solar Mach. orange and the current red glazes/washes. My plog has plenty of examples of the style I think you're describing. Anyway - best wishes on your current project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A D-B Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just a quick update. I'll have some better photos soon, but here's an overall shot of the first Assault demi-Squad, who have "V" in brass etch on their right shoulder guards. I had a pretty specific atmosphere in mind when I made them, in that they're in the middle of a boarding action (or rather, repelling boarders) and are holding a critical corridor junction. I wanted an Assault Squad with a stalwart "Hold at all costs" vibe instead of the usual "sprinting forward to kill the bad guys" theme. I kept up the plan to use 5-8 kits for each model, and as is obvious from the photo, the Angels Numinous (like the Flesh Tearers) use chainaxes as well as chainswords. Behold these unpainted warriors standing atop my printer, defending my wireless headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
