rossjk Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nice looking army. Great job on the Chaplain, my favorite sculpt. Thanks, it's amazing what a bit of nuln oil and a light drybrush can do to an otherwise average paint job Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4382297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossjk Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Sternguard unit done and waiting for basing.... yeah I know not the optimal loadout but doing what I like the look of http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/sternguard%20pre-basing.jpgand added some more detail, moved the sword a little and brightened up shoulders on the comanpy champion....http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Company%20Champion.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4439355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjk Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Back to some more building!, the other captain is a bit of a double-up so I'm putting him to better use as a vanguard veteran sergeant, as half of his bits are from that kit anyway. Will get a jump pack organised for him..For the vanguard vet squad I've kept the loadout simple but with a claw/fist combo in there: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/vanguards_built.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4440569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
okonomiyakimarine Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 First let me say I find the quality and quantity of your conversions and painting is great! Yet imho some of the last images posted here are not completely up to par with some of your earlier works. Probably it is only personal preferences, so please don't take this the wrong way. I went back to the first page where I found these awesome terminators. what i especially want to point out is the variance and balance you found in the coloring of the details. different metallic grey, bright and darker silvers, the cloth and the dirty light blue ribbons... I pretty much love every thing here. for comparison, the newer images tend to have a flat grey (librarian), the colors are quite flashy (devastators) and the chaplains look rather standard compared to these terminators. Maybe it is the lighting, maybe it is just me looking at stuff in a strange way, but I'd like to encourage for more subtle details that you sure are capable of as you showed with these (imho) fantastic guys: http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/Terminators_1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4440581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you say it comes down to personal preference Unfortunately I don't have the time or skill for greenstuff sculpting so some of the kitbashed characters are a bit bland, but I'll make up for it with the converted ones and the kitbashed Marneus Calgar Artekus Bardane! But first i'll get the sternguards based and vanguards painted...

rossjk Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 While waiting for some washes to dry I had a play with some spare legs and scout torso, along with some other random bits one thing led to another and I ended up with a renegade inquisitor http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/inquisitor_built.jpg-edit-Have started a new different thread for a small inquisitor detachment:http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323939-radical-inquisitor-detachment/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4441246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjk Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 some more converting (sorry for the lack of painting updates!!). Scored a blood angels terminator captain, I've now changed him into a terminator sergeant since I wasn't happy with the look of the dark vengeance sergeant - will change that one's sword to a power fist. With his addition this will also give some army list options for the squad (ie-assault cannon or chainfist in the squad). I'll be keeping the nice cloak he had for a future inquisitor terminator conversion. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/term%20sarge%20new.jpgpainted vanguard veterans shouldn't be too far away....

rossjk Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Hasn't been much painting progress with lots of my Necron dirty xenos stuff soaking up time, but got the highlight done on the vanguards, ready now for the detailed bits.http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/vanguard%20vets%202.jpgThe chainswords on the sarges seemed a bit useless when they could have pistols to get a shot in before charging into combat, so fixed that (and swapped a boltgun onto the other one). The combi-plasma (SM commander version) is just silly with the magazine feeding through the lower plasma gun so changed it to a side-loading bolter. Should be a quick paint job to finish them off...http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/reposed%20sarges.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4453011 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossjk Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Here's the kitbashed counts-as vindicare assassin.. didn't go for the usual all-black scheme so he can tie in with the Relictors theme.

Thousand Eyes Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Liking the assassin but I feel he needs some sort of backpack, to show him camping behind enemy lines sort of stuff. Well played with counts as Calgar and all. Good work on the fists. Small thing that only ever shows up after we post pictures, mould line on the back of the sword.

KrautScientist Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The counts-as Calgar conversion is looking ace, and I also really like the paintjob! One suggestion, though; Just imagine how much more he would pop if you were to add some highlights to those chords running across his chest (and around his right leg) and to the pteryges loincloth as well.

Sgt. Blank Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Nice job on the counts-as Calgar. I like the use of the Raptor bitz - I've worked with those arms before and I know the stock poses are limited, so good work overcoming that.

rossjk Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks for the feedback guys :) I'll do some touch-ups on Marneus Relicgar but have been a bit distracted coverting my command squad into honour guard - after a couple of games I'm realising how much better their stats are in close combat... will post new pics of stuff when I get a chance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4488704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossjk Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 freshly converted honour guard waiting for paint touch-ups... will work much better now with a landraider crusader to assault from (on the to-do list!).. The chaos lance will now count as power lance and his backpack banner will be the chapter banner. Chapter champion in front/centre. Going with bright silver on the standard powerswords.. http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/honour%20guard_built.jpgtheir previous state as a choppy command squad: Hidden Content Here's the command squad all done I've done six of them to keep options a little bit more flexible...http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Space%20Marines%20WIP/Command%20Squad_1.jpg also added a little bit of a highlight to relicgar's brown bits as suggested:http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p218/typicalaquarian/Warhammer%2040k/Space%20Marines/Relicgar.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313154-rossjks-relictor-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-4489352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
