Telencephalon Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hey guys, So, due to a current moving project I haven't painted much for the last few weeks. I did manage to finish my first assault marine the other night, though. I still need to learn to speed paint, but I reckon I'm making progress as this guy took 5-10 hours to paint, in comparison to the >20 hours i poured into painting my captain (who still isn't finished) http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/ghaffasagris/IMG_2185_zpspal3gevm.jpg http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/ghaffasagris/IMG_2184_zpsk8zunba0.jpg http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/ghaffasagris/IMG_2182_zpsg8fhyqjm.jpg BAjim, sockwithaticket, Jønke and 12 others 15 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/44/#findComment-4146737 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) Which red do you think is best? At the moment, I'm using B&C red (ff0000) for my discussion articles: Test Here are the alternatives: Blood Red or Red Gore or Baal Red Wash Edited August 17, 2015 by Jolemai Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/44/#findComment-4148880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Definitely Blood Red or Red Gore. I'm in mobile though so the background is white for me! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/44/#findComment-4148917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I'm for Blood Red, personally. The Forum Software is awfully bright on the banner for me and Baal Red Wash is awesome, but maybe a bit dark for BA in general. Red Gore is pretty nice, also.

Charlo Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Spent a good few hours getting all the Mephiston Red onto the Dreads. Two to three coats all over worked nicely, took longer than I wanted though, going to have to power through at least the metal and wash tomorrow to use them in a game I tihnk! http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Snapchat--2236672137044525580_zpspgb0bvjy.jpg More pics in my WIP Thread!

CaptainHelion Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Today I got home from work, and finished putting together the second of my Character Death Company for my ETL Penance vow. This one, like the previous one, is inspired by a forumite.

I'll go for Blood Red (Evil Sunz Scarlet) as that's the colour I predominantly use on my Blood Angels. Cheers.

CaptainHelion Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 You can't see in those pictures, but the helmet of the Heretic on the base has been mulched a touch, to look like its taken a Crozius to the face. I'm planning to paint plasma burns on the torso as well. Now, I need another couple of forumites to inspire me for the next three.

Telencephalon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 So - I FINALLY finished my force commander. I originally planned to make him a battle brother, but after i learned that tactical marines in a BA-army are a waste of points, I redubbed him commander. Freehand on both shoulders + the banner. http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/ghaffasagris/IMG_2217_zps2hemyusr.jpg http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/ghaffasagris/IMG_2223_zpsxu9ajcpi.jpg http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss217/ghaffasagris/IMG_2224_zpscy5chfwc.jpg Lord Leonatos 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/44/#findComment-4149825 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telencephalon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The army lists that I came across always included assault marines instead of tactical marines, claiming that the former better utilized the advantages of being BA. I have no acumen into the details of this attitude, but it seemed legit and quite widespread, so I accepted it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/44/#findComment-4149836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 For the previous Codex, yes. With the current incarnation, we're back to Tacticals.

Telencephalon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Oh my.. Sigh! I'll have to play more efficiently with my assault marines in that case, I guess..

Jolemai Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Have you got the latest Codex? Assault Marines are back in the FA slot where they face strong competition from resurgent Bike Squads and Drop Pods.
