15 tactical marines- sarg combi weapon

 

15 tactical marines- sarg combi weapon

 

5 terminators- various power weapons

 

contemptor- 2 assault cannons

 

also added

 

fw champion and signal characters

 

ive also just brought a 2nd calth box set, ill be breaking these down to make the 2 x 15 man taticals up to 20 each and the other 20 marines im going to make into vets with different weapons.

ive also got 5 spare bods which ill be making into a heavy support squad with missile launchers

so here what I got done so far

all comments welcome. c

cheers all for looking.

They look simply great. Our HH colour scheme is awesome and you nailed it brother. Sargeant in tabard definitely adds character to a unit (no that without sargeant it wouldn't be cool). Can you tell me how you achieved this muted black?

I've never been very hot on the FW shoulder pads, and now I see better why. The way the emblem hangs over the rim is rather distracting. Hope FW comes out with a dedicated decal sheet soon.

That being said, your DA's look perfect. Going to try to get a similar look when I start with mine!

im considering painting the bolters red but decided against it until they get official rules and paint scheme from FW , this is also why ive not done any heraldry on my sergeant , but ive got a good  idea how theirs will look as ive also put them in robes to show them as caliban born.

 

The mk iv shoulder pad I got from fw are the only ones that slightly hang over at the bottom, but all in all I really like the look I got,

 

im just finishing up  all the characters and terminators then the contempters not far behind.

 

ok a few have asked about the way I got my black

its really really simple and only a few stages to get the basic colours

 

base coat black

 

heavy dry brush the whole model Eshin grey

 

dry brush administratum grey

 

pick out all the trims  in ironbreaker

pick out any red parts

 

then wash the whole model with nuln black

 

with the wash phase I didn't do a heavy wash, just enough to tone back the greys , the administratum grey dry brush we did creates a natural highlight throught the wash.

 

I will get some picks up of the step by step as im just starting my next squad later in the week.

 

cheers all

thanks guys,

 

so I've just finishing my champion and I've had a go at his personal heraldry, I've also just about finished the contemptor,  terminators and Chaplin and will get pics up tomorrow when I get some better light to take pictures in . 

ok so picture time, hopefully they come out ok had to send via my pc as my phone wouldn't upload them.

ok so you can see lots of pics, ive still to put some text on front of contemptor and also heraldy on terminator character, ive ahd a go with some heraldy on the champion as you can see.

 

first pic of the dread can be clicked on for a more up close look at the tabard script

Also interesting you chose the larger wings, I opted for the smaller veteran ones:

Also, how did you do the weathering on the boots/shin plates?

im gonna try retake pics on my mobile now im home and re upload them, I had to email them to myself which seems to have  made them smaller .

 

yeah I choose the larger withs for this one and I got another which im going to go with the smaller wings, the weathering on the shins /boots is just a couple of different light dry brushes till it builds up like a natural dusty/muddy look.

So after arguing with myself for days and deciding that I wasn't going to do Dark Angels for one of the sides in BaC, I spot this thread, and my mind is completely unmade. Cheers for that :P

 

You've done a lovely job with these. Swapping the chainblade in the fist out for a sword is a fantastic idea, really works well on him.

lol thanks guys , ive just ordered 20 more shoulder pads and one complete upgrade kit( pads, torso, heads) these are for  my vet squad so will have more to come.

 

as a little extra, I painting primarchs and characters up at the moment so will get some pics of them up , I have angron, fulgrim and maneus done , with horus, mort and lorgar to do, along with about 6 different characters.
