Dantioch Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates I've got a few important hand ins for uni this week but as soon as I've got them handed in I can really make more progress on my army and try and get the marines done for my pledge. Here's a quick Wip just now, I'm quite happy with the flesh but the picture doesn't show it very well. Still no where near finished but getting there. Enjoy! http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/photo%2025_zpsuzbtuekw.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Looking good! That head goes really well with the rest of the model. Are you planning a nice open pose to show off the torso? Seems a waste to hide it behind a bolter. I really like how you've done the lense and the flesh tone. Keep up the good work sir. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is too much lovely detail on that DG torso to waste it by covering it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That is a very nice metal color. I'm a big fan. Great work so far displaying an under-represented legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantioch Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Okay the first marine of my pledge finished, please excuse my horrible photography skills http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/photo%2027_zpsj0czol3f.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Looking snazzy. Is he bluer than when we saw him last? He seems bluer. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Just got ultra confused looking here then in the monthly challange.... He looks good, like the fact that the dark metal still has a nice shine in places. He does look badass too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operative Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I like him, maybe you could add a melee weapon to his belt, I just think he looks a bit bare with just the pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Nah I think he is the sort who will rip an enemy apart with his bare hands. Put a bit of blood on his knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain mortis Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Love the metallic sheen you produce! Glad he has an open pose to show off the detail. Hurry up with your uni work and crack those brushes out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantioch Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just ordered the new IW upgrades, its a bit weird they came out of nowhere. I'll reserve judgement on them until I have them in hand.... Looking snazzy. Is he bluer than when we saw him last? He seems bluer. Dallo Cheers, I think its just the lighting that's making him look blue. But now you mention I wonder how they would look with a bit of blue glaze..... Love the metallic sheen you produce!Glad he has an open pose to show off the detail.Hurry up with your uni work and crack those brushes out lol Thanks Mortis, just one more month and I can go on a painting frenzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_out Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'm still not sure what the point of putting the star on all those IW torsos was...is there something I'm missing? I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them painted I honestly don't see the point in the stars either, just flicked through Extermination again and there is nothing on stars. I wonder if it is still to be covered in upcoming fluff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's some relevance to it...along with not-quite-centered "belt buckles" Its because belts and their buckles move with your hips, not your torso; so them being posed that way means that they dont look ever-so-slightly-wonky when you off-centre them to have a turning torso or whatever.

They're off-centered the wrong way; almost all bolter holding marines are twisted to their left, whereas these buckles would need to have the marine twisted to the 2. All other marines will seem off if you only have a handfull with their belt buckles centered so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Fantastic models - really great looking army you'll have. As a fellow Scot, and someone who live about 15mins from Hamilton - we should butt 30K heads once you've finished your army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantioch Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share Posted March 22, 2015 Thanks guys, made some slight progress on my Deredeo. Still a lot to do on him. Looks like my pledge may be in jeopardy though as I just noticed there are legs missing from my MKIII and MKII bags, just waiting for FW to send out the parts http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/photo%2028_zpsjwcrwxed.jpg http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah131/Dantioch/photo%201%207_zpsvh0wlohk.jpg Fantastic models - really great looking army you'll have. As a fellow Scot, and someone who live about 15mins from Hamilton - we should butt 30K heads once you've finished your army! Thanks dude, Yeah definitely. I'll just need to finish my army and learn to play I'm still not sure what the point of putting the star on all those IW torsos was...is there something I'm missing? I'll have to reserve judgement until I see them painted I honestly don't see the point in the stars either, just flicked through Extermination again and there is nothing on stars.

Maybe something to do with Perturabo's visions of the Eye of Terror? They do look more Great Crusade era than any other upgrade so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Oh, wow. That red really pops on that Deredeo. The more of these I see painted, the more I like it. And I liked it in the first place. Quick question, what sort of mounting fits the Aiolos; i.e would it fit a Predator/Whirlwind kit or would I need a bit more work to get it to fit?

Guestimating, the Hole on the back of the Deredeo for the mounting looks roughly or a bit smaller than a Tank Crew Hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
