StruManChu Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Great stuff so far everyone! It's looking like it's going to be another good month for the Loyalists, so I may have to further entertain the thought of doing some Death Guard... I'm having a significantly better month than I did in January, hobby wise, and I seem to be flying through stuff at the moment. Here's a quick and dirty pre-washes WIP of my Apothecary, which is very much inspired by disease's Death Guard one. As ever, comments/criticisms would be greatly appreciated!

LongGone Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Once you put his arms and shoulder pads on, the extra bulk should make it seem proportional. I wouldn't worry about it.

Kor'Vesh Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 MoM - the night is looking great so far - the dark grimy red is fantastic. Stru - I really like that apothecary - excellent conversion idea! Hydra - I think it's great, adding the arms and shoulder pads will balance it out and you'll be set.

Is the chest decoration too big? http://i.imgur.com/lSyjLfY.jpg Seems fine to me, although what you might be seeing is that the neck is perhaps a little too long - Mk III helms tend to sit pretty low in relation to the torso's collar - but I'd wait until you mock up the arms with the pauldrons before you think of altering anything Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302868-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-6-february/page/4/#findComment-3940890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedmeister Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Progress! And they're done (bodies are, at least): http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/hh/AL-Progress-050215.jpg I experimented with weathering the MK VI Marine at the back - I like how this has turned out. I'll weapon and pad them first and then chip the edges and dust the legs. Now, for the weapons and pads!

DimDim Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Got to work on my recce marines tonight and got a test fig done, naturally taking a break in between wash drying times for some well timed R&R. I tried to base the scheme on an existing IF scheme so they would be identifiable as Fists, but didnt scream "I AM YELLOW LOOK AT ME, I LIKE BEING SHOT TO DEATH!". They are snipers after all. So I went with the pre-primarch scheme. Identifiable, unique, and most importantly for a sneaky sniper team NOT COMPLETELY YELLOW. His second last wash is drying now (view-able in the picture) And has yet to recieve his highlights, realistic(ie not completely everywhere) combat wear and tear and finished basing. What do you guys think?

Daemon2027 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Dimdim, I think he looks great, I always thought that the recon marines would have special armour that would dim a certain colour when in stealth mode, well it's what I told my self when I painted RG to explain all the white on them! Thanks for the feedback on my Praetor, I think I'm rushing ahead in my mind and deciding it's not working before finishing the build. I wish I had tried to sculpt the chest detail would have been a more natural fit then. Maybe in the future I'll update him. For now I need to concentrate on finishing the legs, torso, and head. IHF, the head is only tentatively placed, the GS is old (this is a recycled torso, my last Mark III untill my FW order arrives on Friday), I plan to build a gorget but the head will sit closer to the body when done. One question, Dark Angle style robes, or big ass cape, or both?

Slips Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've just read a bunch of Storm Wardens Fluff on the Wikis and them being Imperial Fists successors in all but name (they dont know their founding/Primarch anymore) has me kinda wanting to incorporate that into the legion. Mostly due to how they handle Combat, Honor, the whole "1v1! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!" and their vets wielding Man-Sized 2-Handers (Power Claymores, Thunderhammers, Power Axes, etc.) gel very much with me. The thing is, their colors are Blue and Silver/White. With my Imperial Fists scheme already having lots of Black and Yellow, how would I incorporate those colors without making the model too busy? The obvious is the "One shoulder in Blue-And-White" but I need a bit more than that...Little help fellow frater? This would also permit me to justify making a 5th Apothecary/Primus Medicae (3 standard, 1 in TDA) and give him a Thunderhammer :p ... Obviously, this will be done after I finish my March Vow as well as my 3 Land Raiders currently up for completion this month.

depthcharge12 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I've been brainstorming a model but I'll need the GS tools before I can get around to it. I was going to take a mkIII body and use the bare mkIII command head and put a flowing robe on the guy with the hood obscuring most of his face, except for the sneer. I'd have him brandishing a thunder hammer in one hand and gesturing with the other pointing to his chosen opponent. He'd be my champion model I was envisioning. Garahel, "The Fell Angel"...
