WarriorFish Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I think the GW bits work really well on them. The helmet heads seems to give a very cool and distinctive look. UltraRich and lionofjudah 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Another ebay distraction turned up last weekend so Ive made a start on it. These are a dream to paint. Large areas which make it so quick to paint http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5852_zpswtzoje1u.jpg Complete with tat http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5868_zpscdvmwgup.jpg our_baz, Vel'Cona, WarriorFish and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
our_baz Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Great freehand tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yeah the tattoo is great, I found the Ogryns a lot of fun to paint so I need to get back to my own. They won't quite be painted so well though :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 Thanks guys I hope to have it finished this weekend. I could easily see me getting an army of these. I think I'll order a box once Ive finished my 10 Scions, 2 Leman Russ, 40 troops, command squad, 3 heavy weapons...... and thats what I can remember!!

UltraRich Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Heres this weeks update The bulgryn is about done. I want to get more as Ive a great idea for one with a Nid shoulder pad on one arm and I have the perfect nid bit to use, http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5876_zps8y503hbd.jpg Heres a couple of others about finished. Scion number two and Sarge. Both need final highlights now.. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5875_zpsumukz1ne.jpg Finally Im trying to mix up the squads so Im looking at experimenting with legs. This still needs smoothing but I think Ive got the proportions right. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5882_zpswgtqovtw.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5883_zps61gsyabr.jpg I also won 30 guard on ebay this week so Ive been stripping them and fixing them (taking them apart!) One had lost the end of the las and it gave me an idea for a hard shell snub gun. What do you think? http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_5879_zpsf7mxfuwo.jpg Toxichobbit, walter h, WarriorFish and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

our_baz Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The nid shoulder pad is an interesting idea. I stuck some genestealer heads as trophies on my bone 'eds belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Found some time to paint over the christmas break. Im going to build a command squad made up of custom characters. Each one will have some mod or other Heres where Ive got to A couple of them have converted rifles that are switched to hard shells. Mr Bolt Pistol with GS pouches The commander has a modified powerfist and new head Las sniper with modified legs Flamer with flame mask (trying to use those sergeant heads) and modified flamer with its own fuel Probably the least converted is the guy about to attach his bayonet. http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6144_zpsijqij7zz.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6141_zpselahsoua.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6142_zpszn9tdl4l.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6143_zpsic1kmzfu.jpg Ive finished Bulgryn 1 and got another. I got this one from a bitz site and didnt buy the body so hes made up of sprue and putty under the armour! I love these so bought another box with my christmas money http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6148_zpshwoooa09.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6149_zpspoan2odv.jpg Guilloom, our_baz, WarriorFish and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Very nice work as ever, worth the wait ;) The conversions are great gives them a lot of character :) UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Rich doesn't slow down, it seems! Those Ogryn are pretty awesome in general, and once again the subtle conversions abound. I still don't understand how he gets faces/flesh colors so well . . . UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrim Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Never saw this thread before, very, very nice Guardsmen my friend. UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Thanks Guys I tend to do this where I dont get near them for a few weeks then it becomes all consuming and I paint at every opportunity. Had a bit of a sort out of my home office as my guard needed a new place to live as they are growing so they now have a shelf above my UMs Once the two sentinals, heavy weapons teams, two russ's get done I think they will need their own shelf! Question is do I convert that bane blade back to green ;) http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6152_zpsngatol8c.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6154_zpsiw2s5ehd.jpg Emicus, WarriorFish, The Ergonomic Enginseer and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guilloom Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 [spam turned off] All together, your guardsmen look totally badass. Even along with those under-steroids-and-canned-and-acid-spitting Marines ! The Baneblade is nice in blue, but I believe it deserves to be more connected with your Guard UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Need their own shelf? Nice try, more like two... or three ;) UltraRich 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ive got some paint on the command squad this week. Theres still a load of small highlights to do but Ive got the bulk done. The bases and mr bayonets gun will be done shortly http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6160_zpswe4egxaq.jpg WarriorFish and elmo 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 While I was waiting for a wash to dry I thought Id add some diversity to the squad Heres the new member of the team Same height, wider armour http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6180_zps2mivoyfl.jpg WarriorFish 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not content with just fantastic painted models I see... Thanks Im aiming for variety Ive got about 30 troops and each one is unique. Theres probably only about 10 that are standard builds Only issue is its a slow process!

WarriorFish Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Better to take your time and get the results you want :) Even if for armies like Guard that can take a bit longer :P I'd like to see you add a tank or two with this level of attention :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Apparently its all about the base so I got to work on this one tonight. Just need to highlight and weather the boots into the base now Ive also just won a load of unpainted Catachans on Ebay so expect more conversions, arm and head swaps http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6193_zps3e8y4paz.jpg elmo, our_baz, Brother Handro and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I always remember the old 'eavy Metal saying of "bases and faces". I know it's true because I have no talent with either two Base looks great on him, another excellent example of how less is more Makes me want to finish my Bullgryn Squad, if only I had another so I could make them a squad for Assault on Lutum...

WarriorFish Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 They're great models, nice and different and surprisingly large. I'll definitely get some more when I've finished this box, just wish their rules were a bit better (or rather cheaper) but maybe next codex... Any other different units that might hit your painting table? Ratlings perhaps? They've a very different change, but small so quick to paint :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 He has an arm! Ive tried a slightly different blending and shading technique on the arm so its slightly pinker than the face but its ok He has a punisher tat to match the one on my Valkyrie but its hard to see on the photo. Slab shield is under way so hopefully this will be done this week http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6198_zpsgezhbtn7.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f372/rbrewster101/IMG_6201_zpslge2jxuv.jpg WarriorFish, CyderPirate, elmo and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
