Kizzdougs Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Looks good bro! A really nice paint job. The only thing that takes away from it is the massive mould line on the top of the axe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that takes away from it is the massive mould line on the top of the axe... Haha, yeah. I also need to remove the blood drops from it too. Just added it to the model for pictures, it's only on their with Blu-tac :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Good to hear mate. I look forward to seeing the finished product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nicely done. Promising stuff here for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Primus Medicae finished, I magnetised above the elbow to enable me to swap the power weapon. I do need a good tutorial on painting Power Weapons though, does anyone know of one? More pictures on my blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlzee Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 I've now started work on some troops! I'm converting some of my 40K Space Marines I had into Veteran Tactical Squads. Bodies built ready for undercoating this weekend, legs have had their knees cut off, ready for some Green Stuff MKIV knee joints :P Note: be careful if using hobby knife to cut of knee pads... Otherwise you will end up with a cut up thumb like me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 After green stuffing the knees I then built the bodies, leaving off the head, arms and backpacks. I bought the Emperor's Children helmets to save time, rather than converting the helmets from MKVII to MKIV. The Sergeant I built from a Palatine Blade body. I have since Primed all this. I have yet to finish working on all the arms and weapons. The 40K Tactical squad has many arms that cross the body holding the bolter with both hands, however I'm modelling them with Chainswords. I'm having to be creative in modifying some of the arms. Not to mention I've shaved the forearms, in preparation for turning them into MKIV forearms.

Trysanna Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 The new MK.4 legs look pretty good. I patiently await seeing the squad painted. -Tarvick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Wow, what an awesome start! Your scheme looks great and all the models so far are really consistent. Love that purple, and love the conversion touches- just the right amount, IMO. Can't wait to see the troops painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Wow, the Emperor's Children look great. You did a stunning purple. I also liked how you showed going through the selection process for each of the models, such as the medicae and Eidolon too. The effects on the power weapons are about the best I have seen, they are ace!! Did you find a tutorial for doing them and if so where?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 these are amazing.......probably the best Eidolon I've seen to date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys! @dantay_xv: I found the tutorial on these forums, here. Took me a while to find a decent tutorial, as most of the YouTube ones are for airbrushes :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've finished three more. Just need basing and weathering. I'm very aware of how slow I'm painting, and it's really getting me down. But must stay focused. I believe my mistake this time around was to paint everything separately. If I had assembled the whole models with the exception of weapons across the chest, I may have been able to paint them quicker. I will try on the second squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
