The Pounder Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Looking great Darren! I really love the gold very clean and neat. I'm still trying to perfect metallics. The dread is a cool model for sure. Keep 'em coming.

Snakes of Ithaka Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 No missiles on the Deredeo???  They are mandatory, trust me  yeah i forgot to order it with the dreadnought, next time i order from FW i'll pick it up  Looking great Darren! I really love the gold very clean and neat. I'm still trying to perfect metallics. The dread is a cool model for sure. Keep 'em coming.  thanks for the kinda words  so been a while since i posted anything and in that time the betrayal at calth came out and of course i picked up a copy, so sent the last week going through it figuring out what loads to do.  Thinking of have 2 ten marine tac squads then using the remaining 10 models for a veteran tac squad and magnetize the weapons so i can switch the load outs out, still need a think on how i'd kit out the terminators though.  so first up a new member for my next tactical squad, sergeant Septimus Ventris  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151121_143654_zpsjcfxcmbr.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151121_143644_zpsjivmwzuz.jpg  followed by the first of the BAC models i have painted up, thinking he will be used as the chapter master for the 2nd chapter  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151121_143356_zps553c4d9o.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151121_143405_zpsaumr3ihj.jpg  and finally started on the BAC dreadnought  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151121_143331_zpsizwfr7b6.jpg  so making some good progress, until next time.

The Pounder Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Very nice work Darren.

Snakes of Ithaka Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Very nice work Darren. I have to wait til Christmas before I get my grubby mitts on the BaC minis, so this has really wet my appetite! Keep them coming!  the BAC minis are certainly worth the wait  Excellent thread. Great models, putting my own to shame.  thanks for your kind words   so while working on the dreadnought i've managed to run out of paint so i have put that on the back burner until i can pick up some more paints, so in the mean time i started messing around with the BAC and adding FW bits to them, so started on a veteran tactical squad.  here's a test mini of the squads sergeant in artificer amour  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151125_201840_zps05etlfrp.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151125_201855_zpsbpqrqf17.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20151125_201904_zpso10oinzz.jpg  still along way from being finished but hopefully it gives an idea of the colour scheme that im going for with them. i wanted to try use the colours that we are familiar with from the 40k veteran scheme used by chapters that follow the codex astates, i was going for a scheme that would be the precursor to the one that we all know.  so until next time Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313313-darrens-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/2/#findComment-4235279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyCrow Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Really digging the gold ! In the name of Guilliman, I shall take inspiration ! Â PS : As a fun note, when I opened the page, your last post only showed the top of your first picture before I scrolled down, with that very fluorescent yellow on a blue tube. For a moment my heart stopped as I thought that was the yellow you picked for your gold xD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313313-darrens-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/2/#findComment-4235365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBelly1863 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Darren, these ultras look fantastic! The gold looks great, and all the colors in general are solid and bold in a way that i really enjoy. It's almost like a matte finish, and I think it looks really solid. How'd you do the cape on the termie captain? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313313-darrens-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/2/#findComment-4235594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skalpynock Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I love that gold. Less metallic, smoother, and yet still distinctively gold. Looks really better with blue than usual paint recipes.

Snakes of Ithaka Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 so after the hectic Christmas schedule , its time to get back to the XIII Legion.  one of my problems is that i'm not the most productive painter and its something i'm hoping to work on this year, so now onto some pics of the progress i have made since my last post, starting off with the first 5 men for the veteran tactical squad  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121250_zpsbxdvkgd2.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121314_zpsakixkcy6.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121324_zpshdedr1xz.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121339_zpszkxgczfi.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121356_zpsuutfzoud.jpg  pretty hppy with them so far just need to get the next five men done, aiming to have them done in the next week.  now onto the BAC dreadnought  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121110_zpslyddwhee.jpg  nearly finished him though still got some work to do on the metal parts on his back but thats about it.  over the festive period i had a little play around in the bits box as had the idea if making a few models of notable Ultramarines characters it started as an attempt at making Aeonid Thiel, but instead it ended up being tylos rubio as a knight errant (i know not technically an ultramarine but he used to be) really happy with him so much so i'm tempted to make several more knight errant as well as picking up Garro.  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121434_zpsdwblnyec.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121441_zpszu3krrsg.jpg  and finally a couple of future projects that i got given at Christmas  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121500_zpsca6jztie.jpg  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/20160102_121525_zpsssfgjfbh.jpg  cant wait to start on Guilliman, though not looking forward to doing his base as i'm struggling to find away to paint decent looking marble so far my test attempts have been a bit underwhelming.  until next time.   Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313313-darrens-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/2/#findComment-4266774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Glad you haven't been idol over Christmas! Coming along nicely. The Guilliman model is an amazing sculpt (no matter what people say!) You'll enjoy painting him definitely.

Snakes of Ithaka Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 so another day another update really have made some progress on Guilliman, really happy with how he has come out especially the face as this is an area that i tend to struggle with normally, now i just need to work out the best way to paint a marble effect for the base  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/final%20robute_zps9iyu1dqk.jpg  was hoping to get on with the rhino today only to discover that i had run out of Vallejo game air ultramarine blue, so had to order some more in the mean time i started to paint up the sergeant for the terminator squad, I've based the scheme on one the pictures from tempest.  http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac299/Ventris6405/terminator_zpsocxdeec0.jpg   Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313313-darrens-xiii-legion-ultramarines/page/2/#findComment-4283233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
