librisrouge Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Rocket Pod Sentinel!!!! I just finished painting my first sentinel and I'm again in love with the model. Glad to see some more being worked on. Can't have too many chicken walkers. UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Ive finished a couple more troops. I wanted to try and get my female conversion done so I could see it in colour against the others. I think it turned out ok except for the giant feet. Ive got one of the raging heros commissars and you compare the legs which are as thin as a gun barrel. All the bases will be painted once Ive decided on a colour http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5757_zpsote9zeo1.jpg Edited August 19, 2015 by UltraRich WarriorFish, CyderPirate, librisrouge and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Still need to get back to my conversion but this looks good. Never enough time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Ive finished a couple more troops. I wanted to try and get my female conversion done so I could see it in colour against the others. I think it turned out ok except for the giant feet. Ive got one of the raging heros commissars and you compare the legs which are as thin as a gun barrel. I think she looks fine. It is better that she is heroic scale to blend in with the rest of the men rather than too skinny so that she stands out. As for the big feet... maybe the Quartermaster only had size 12 boots and she is wearing loads of socks ;) UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Thanks Guys Had a quiet painting weekend but managed to finish another trooper. This one is my Larkin stand in to act as a sniper with modified las carbine. Ive just realized I havent shaded the stock though... This minis a bit of a mix as its a GK head shaved to fit in an empty helmet (hence the long face which I think looks different to the standard heads) and a Scion gun with the cables trimmed. Ive also used a ammo belt and a bit of GS on the blue pad to show spare ammo although its hard shot and not for the laser http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5768_zpsm19qpiza.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5765_zpsfoliembv.jpg Edited August 23, 2015 by UltraRich WarriorFish and our_baz 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 He's a great kit bash, it's always a good job when it looks seamless when the paint goes on :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just got back from holidays and needed to do a quick kit bash Id won three heavy weapon teams on ebay that Ive stripped but need basing. One is missing the gun armor so I thought Id do a little ruin out of plasticard Once its dry I'll chip it and add the cracks and craters http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5770_zpsf1eaot92.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5775_zpsi8t5vgly.jpg Also started 3 Scions This is the base coat and wash stage but it shows my process http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5777_zpsmcwapyuq.jpg WarriorFish, our_baz, The Ergonomic Enginseer and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 The base looks great, same with the colours on the Stormies keep the updates coming :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 The bases are done for my heavy weapon team so while Im working on them I thought Id mix up the squad so Ive ordered some magicsculp to give it a go instead of green stuff and a set of these http://product-images.highwire.com/9838444/5-man-squad-universal.jpg and these http://product-images.highwire.com/9843564/5-woman-squad-universal.jpg Im going to sculpt shoulder pads on them so they tie in with my IG squads and will do some head swaps with IG helmets and berets. I'll also sculpt aquilas on their chests so they all tie in but look slightly different I'll do an unboxing once they come as I cant see any other mention of them on this board WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 You mustn't have gone back to enough topics because we all know and love Victoria's miniatures here ;) We'll still be eager to see though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Ive looked. My search fu must be off as I couldnt find any pictures of the above painted. Even if you google them there are only a couple of examples and not in the context of mixing them with the standard guard. If you know any on here please drop me a link I dont know if I should do a head swap for IG helmets or keep them and maybe paint the helmets blue as a separate squad.

WarriorFish Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 There has been plenty of talk on Victoria's models, but no pictures on the Arcadians - yet ;) The models are thinner compared to GW's, so I'm not sure the larger helmets will work but you can always try a few out and see how it looks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderPirate Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yeah, there's a decent amount of Victoria Miniatures in the barracks, but not much on the Arcadians. I think a lot of people go there for something a little different from, and they're very similar to the Cadian range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 The VM arcadians are in the post so they should be with me in a week hopefully In the meantime Ive worked on my Scion medic. Im fairly happy with it but I need to redo the arm screens as Im not happy with them One thing you cant do is rush these minis theres way too much detail on them http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5807_zpsmzmnirok.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5811_zpsd9avtz2x.jpg I ended up with a few radio backpacks so I used one that I cut down to make a medic version of the normal pack http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5812_zpspncfea5d.jpg WarriorFish, Guilloom and our_baz 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 That helmet really works well on a Scion, plus great painting as usual! Looking forward to your next one :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Ive got my hands on some magicscupt which Im going to use to Cadian the VM Arcadians I thought Id have a play and its really easy to use as long as you go at it in stages. Expect more stowage and arm/leg positions to follow http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5813_zps5j1vufkr.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5815_zpsaxeros1o.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5816_zpsn49wac1o.jpg Im going to have a go at a few special forces helmets with goggles and lights etc Heres a Work in progress.

WarriorFish Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Very nice work! The extra pouches really change how the model looks. Is that a cut down chainsword sergeant arm with detail added to make the fist? That's come out brilliantly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Yes, its a chainsword arm with the grip carved out They other bolter arm is a grenade arm repositioned with the grenade carved as the gun grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Im still waiting for the VM Minis to arrive so I started work on my tooled up Pask Russ Ive given the tank an undercoat but started work on the fuel barrels. Im not going to rust the whole tank but I want certain elements to look old. The fuel drums is the first thing. The weathering was done with paint, salt chipping, oil paint streaking and weathering powder!! http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5823_zpsizxjegx4.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5822_zps2bntxhkm.jpg I also found scout heads look good on scions http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5827_zpshmv6flma.jpg and I found I cant sculpt ears. Best I could do was with GS and then they are massive... http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5832_zpsfzosurpg.jpg our_baz, walter h and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Scout heads are useful for the Guard :) Just got to be careful you don't have too many Wayne Rooneys in a squad :P Weathering looks good so I'm looking forward to seeing more!

We already take squads of Rooneys, they are called Ogryns. Anyway back on topic (before I get a bolt round)....Rich what are you going to do scheme wise with your Russ?

UltraRich Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 ...Rich what are you going to do scheme wise with your Russ? Its going to be in the same style as the Valkerie. Im going to highlight it and oil weather it. Its going to have a blue nose to show its part of the Ultramar PDF The VM minis arrived today so ive dived straight into them. Ironically I also won a Bulgryn figure on ebay last night so thats going to be a tester to see if I want more Too much to paint.... not enough time.

UltraRich Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 The VM minis arrived yesterday Im really pleased with them even though there is a very slight size difference due to the non heroic proportions. Done a bit of a kit bash and also sculpted some pads on one of the arms and I think its come out ok. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5839_zpsvpsrttsp.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5843_zpskh5kdzwp.jpg The Ergonomic Enginseer, WarriorFish, our_baz and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
