Acolyte of Dorn Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi All, I am in the process of building up a complete battle company of Red Scorpions. Having been long ago bitten by the 30K bug; I decided they needed a Fellblade to be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 That's really nice! How'd you get that unusual gold color? I like it. EDIT: To be clear I'm talking about the metallic paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jeff. It's undercoated in Balor Brown, basecoated in Vallejo Glorious Gold and then washed in Agrax Earthshade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A very nice Fellblade! I especially like the yellow. Did I get that right? You're building up a force of 100+ marines? How long do you think will it take you? My four marine squads took me about two years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daevyll Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Beautifully done. It's a very nice model so deserves a good paintjob, which you have definitely given it. In nitpicking mode, why is the red scorpion logo on the turret not done on a white background? You've done it on white on the side door and it looks very striking, whereas it is not as dramatic directly on the dark color of the cupola.

It's one of the larger transfers on the FW sheet so I figured best to use it on a large model like this. I like how it looks in person but it got very washed out looking in the pics, I agree. Thanks for the nice words all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you think will it take you? My four marine squads took me about two years... So far I have; 2 tac squads, a Devastator squad, 6 bikes (outriders), 2 different Captains, Commander Culln, Sevrin Loth, 3 Centurion Devastators, 3 Assault Centurions, 3 Predators, a Stormtalon, a Relic Sicaran, a Relic Contemptor Dread and a Venerable Dread. All are painted except the Dreads right now. I have a 10 man squad of Mk4 assault marines coming this week. I am not in a real hurry to complete it. It's more like a long term project. I really hate Rhinos in game so they will come last (or possibly not at all). Probably another year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
