Ainar Adalson's "Sesc" Company (some large pics)

[mercbat]

@Jegind Black undercoat, Mechanicus Standard Grey, Devlan Mud wash, then restore MSG, highlight with Codex Grey (Dawstone in nowadays).
On the lower pic we can see (if use some magnifiers ) little scratches done with 1:2 Chaos Black:MSG mix and pure Mithril Silver over it. Maybe some more photos tomorrow, as I've succeded to "scratch" a whole squad today.

 

Finally I've learnt a battle-damage technique that suits me =) I don't like a lot of weathering (rust, dirt,  etc) as big part of fluff says that marines are keeping their armour in a good conditions.

Hello mercbat,

 

I am interested in you recipe as well. It looks great! But what is "restore MSG"?

 

Thanks!

[mercbat]

@Pork Chop Express "restore MSG" means - "apply Mechanicus Standard Grey again over all mini, except recesses, after washing".

[mercbat]

Scratched members of the pack, sorry for pics quality once more - me and my phone are not the best pair.

Some reposing of extremely stiffened BaC dread:

[MosesGunn]

Looking good brother. Very crisp colour scheme and basing technique!

[SW1]

I was looking at doing a dark grey scheme and will be taking this as an inspirational starting point.

[mercbat]

@MosesGunn Thanks!

 

@SW1 You are welcome! I've aquired so much inspiration from the Fang that it's a honor to return some of it. :)

Keep in mind that my scheme is closer to "pro" photos on the first and second pages of this thread, last photos are "mobile" and a little bit darker than they really are.

[mercbat]

Plastic dread from the BaC box.

Finally It's finished! Five times in a row I've tried to make hip joints till getting some satisfaction.

Unimaginable thanks to @Argyle for his "Fur and cloak" tutorial.

And from now - I would prepare for my ETL vows only.

Fenrisian valkirya, slightly more than a year old, and a new job leaves very little time for hobby, but I'm softly moving towards a HH army.

So this is my first 10 Grey Slayers. Just half of the pack.

Where did those shields come from?

[mercbat]

@WLK They are self made. I've got tired while searching "just round wooden shelds", so had to "forge" them myself,

That's even more freaking awesome then!

[Dantay VI]

Sweet mother of pearl, I love those!!!

[betrayer41]

These are utterly fantastic

[mercbat]

I think this thread need some revitalizing, so here is reincarnation of Ainar Adallson - Jarl of the Sesc:

Some minor tweaks are in my mind, but I'm overall happy wth the result.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job. The knotwork wolf is an original idea. What does it symbolize? Fate?

[mercbat]

Oh, I haven't looked at that angle yet. For now it's just my new jarl/company badge. :) I don't like decals, do like knotwork and this is the best I can repeat on miniatures without feeling myself "all-thumb'ed".

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

oh that's beautiful

[Kassill]

Fenris Hjolda, this is a beautiful army brother 

[mercbat]

After seeing FW preview I've felt an urgent need to build Varagyr pack myself.

Keeping in mind Inferno Varagyr pic and fact that my HH Vlka is seriosly less adorned than 40K, I've started:

Pic clickable.

Still thinking if need some more runes, teeth or talon talismans, or try represent everything else with paintjob.

C&C are welcome as I open to any idea even if I wouldn't use it right now.

[Dantay VI]

They look great, some nice variation in them too

[mercbat]

My last paintjob in this year. Varagyr pack assigned to Sesc Great Company.

Thegn

His brothers

Whole pack ready to hunt

After long thoughts I've decided to represent all frost weapons as they were made from fenrisian kraken-bone rather than "energized diamond" so some serious repaint in army awaits me ;)

[Guest Triszin]

damn good

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Terminators are well painted and posed, but they can really do with more ranged weapons- some holstered pistols, at the very least, to show they're prepared.
