Sigismund229 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 It's nice to see one of the less done chapters receive some attention, especially when said attention produces such fantastic models as these. Please keep it up sir. Oh and(a very late) congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjk Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Thanks Sigismund Can't wait to get onto the vehicles, since that's what I've always enjoyed modelling the most (last vehicle I built was the Airfix 1:24 Mosquito). There's a landraider, dreadnought, rhino, razorback and drop-pod desperately needing some daylight!. But first there's the sternguard & vanguard squads and those last few HQ's to paint I've saved those for last just to make sure I could get the technique & colours sorted better on the standard guys first... apart from my necrons (simple to paint) these marines are my first proper attempt at painting figures! Nearly there... must stay motivated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjk Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Would've had a painted librarian to post up today, but failed miserably on the head & face... if you've seen ever raiders of the lost ark with the face-melting nazi at the end - well the end result wasn't too far off that ended up destroying the evidence! so no pics until his replacement head bit comes - a dark angel robed head! Will work much better with the robes he's wearing. on to some other hq's in the meantime.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfender Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Keep up the nice work. I'm glad you went with the grimacing skull icon and have been doing alternate colored power weapons. I enjoy your updates, love seeing my favorite chapter getting more face time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So, I've got to ask... did the inspiration for your thread's title come from my thread? Or was it parallel evolution? Also, man... your work is excellent. I'll definitely be following your progress admiringly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjk Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks for keeping my motivation up there guys So, I've got to ask... did the inspiration for your thread's title come from my thread? Or was it parallel evolution? Thats a parallel coincidence I'm afraid, saw it in the Relictors section of the 40k wikia: ExcommunicationContinued conflict with the Inquisition over the use of Chaotic artefacts during the 13th Black Crusade resulted in the Relictors ultimately being declared Excommunicate Traitoris by the Ordo Hereticus and the Chapter was all but destroyed by the Ordo Malleus' Grey Knights under the command of Inquisitor Cyarro. --------- Keep up the nice work. I'm glad you went with the grimacing skull icon and have been doing alternate colored power weapons. I enjoy your updates, love seeing my favorite chapter getting more face time yeah that earlier grimacing icon works a lot better, I did a test with that other no-jaw skull after tracing it into CAD and it lost most of it's key detail when scaled down to shoulder-pad size, a white blob slightly resembling half a skull. Looks a bit too buck-toothed also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossjk Posted November 14, 2015 Author Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hi Guys,After the last episode with my Librarian I was brave today and had another go at some face painting, thankfully didn't mess this one up (phew!)Sgt Telion, painted to match in with my scout snipers (on page 1), with a couple of minor conversions:- Added a sniper rifle stock to the gun, gives it more of that 'special forces' look it was missing.- Shaved off the smurf logos (but left one on the gun there though, didn't want to botch that!!). http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/Sgt%20Telion.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Very nice work, I think you've really captured the feel of the chapter and I really like the scout sergeant especially. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossjk Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 So I was feeling that I needed something else unique to fill out the HQ ranks... So I'm building a kit-bashed counts-as marneus calgar with a relictors twist. He's got two chaos powerfists which will have matching chaos bolt pistols attached to act as a darker version of the gauntlets of ultramar. A chaos sword is sheathed at his side... Have gone with an aggressive running pose for this one... hard to get a good camera angle to catch the pose but here's a test pic (mostly blue-tacked together for now):http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/Calgar%20test1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillhouse Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 These guys are turning out great! Such a cool chapter, really ties in with the ing Inquisition-schism.

zxyogi Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Like what you are doing very much! The latest figure is good....but the pose looks awkward....the legs need to be right leg down, left up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest figure is good....but the pose looks awkward....the legs need to be right leg down, left up. yeah you're right he is a bit awkward that way.. I need to try and find a skull head for my chaplain anyway so i'll see what legs the ebay bit sellers have available when I do the next order...

That Guy Matt Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 First time I've spotted this log and just ran through it. Really cool army you're getting together. I like your conversions and some of the cool simple painting techniques you're using. May have to try your method on the swords myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
