Ironwithout Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 So I am about to embark on my second 30k army but in all honesty my first real love when it come to Marines. This is also my first attempt with an airbrush so we will see what happens. This is what is sitting in front of me plus a betrayal for Calth box. /gallery/image/167046-21199395163-0702abed25-k/][/url] Made a start on 5 marines. I may e use these as the actual tactical squad but to be honest I'm not sure how happy I am with the result just yet. ://www.bolterandchainsword.com/gallery/image/171837-23601177041-887c368630-k/][/url] I like to think I am a relatively good painter but white is a serious challenge if I'm honest so any tips, thoughts and constructive criticism would be really well received! Especially around weathering White in particular. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironwithout Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 Cheers for the feedback gents. Finished the 5 now. gallery/image/171912-23080985223-ca36149f70-h/][/url] In all honesty I'm not sure if I have enough red on them. On the upside though I am pleased so far.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 They look good! Maybe a bit more red would make the paint job pop a bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnHeretic Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I think they look great and you've struck a good balance with the red/white. The right hand pattern is very well done and the metallics have come out well too. A few chapter/company/squad/army badge etc markings perhaps on the lower legs/knee areas will break the white up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeatTheBeat Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 This is looking amazing. Following with great interest, keep it up!Cheers,BTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Cheers for the comments. I think I'm going to leave these guys for a bit and try something a bit different on the next one and do some greenstuff on the armour and a small amount of fur. I'm also still not sold on those Forgeworld Helmets as they don't really seem to scream White Scars to me. I'll see what I get done today and post up some of my attempts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 So I decided I needed to add more character to the marines as they seemed a bit boring so I got the bits box and the greenstuff out and made a start on my Sargeant. He's a bit shiny as once the greenstuff is dry I can wash the vaseline off. Thoughts? gallery/image/172267-23669466352-f79b9a3843-k/][/url] Also I want to do a custom brotherhood (company) and need help for a name. I was thinking along the lines of Brotherhood of the Comet or Falling star. Any ideas would be great. Cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Impressive work on the sergeant. Is that a fur collar? Will you add fur to his cape, so it looks as if was the hide of a vicious predator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yea fur collar. Didn't want to go too overboard so just did the collar as opposed to a whole hide on the Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Great job on that fur collar and the bolt icon. I just wonder if you might need to sculpt him a bit more of a neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
