SickSix Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So I felt the need to paint yet another Space Marine force! :facepalm: I wanted a Skyhammer force and bought two boxes of the new Devastators and two drop pods. And while assembling them I kind of groaned at the idea of painting yet more silver and black. I realised that since this is an autonomous formation it was actually the perfect chance to paint something new. Over the last year or so the idea of painting White Scars became very appealing. One because they are a stark contrast to my Silver Skulls and a much stronger challenge. Painting over white is not very forgiving at all. This would be a great test and learning experience. So, enough babbling. Here are the first pictures. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/3/17/786229_sm-WS%20Devastators%20WIP%201.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/3/17/786228_sm-White%20Scar%20Devestator%20Sergeant%20WIP%201.jpg I am very pleased with myself with how well I managed the tribal markings on the sergeant so far.

Brother Pheidias Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Looking good so far, I'll be watching this. Will they be clean-cut or dirtied up? My own HH-Scars will be treading a fine line, so I'm interested in your take on them.

My own HH-Scars will be treading a fine line, so I'm interested in your take on them. They will be fairly clean. I am not a big fan of heavy weathering.

SickSix Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Okay I do need some input on one thing: As red is already the secondary color, what should I use for purity seals? Green or Blue? Something else? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320451-white-scars-skyhammer-force/#findComment-4338689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

abadizzle Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 So far so good! For purity seals I'd do the new GW trend of pink on the wax seal. Screamer Pink base, wash of nuln oil, tidy up w Screamer Pink, edge highlight w Emperor's Children. Keep up the good work!

SickSix Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 Getting really close now! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/4/2/789694_sm-Devastators%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20White%20Scars%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/4/2/789695_sm-Devastators%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20White%20Scars%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/4/2/789696_sm-Devastators%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20White%20Scars%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/4/2/789697_sm-Devastators%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20White%20Scars%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.jpg The Grav squad needs a little more work than these guys. And due to a total accident I never primed the second sergeant so will probably do a painting tutorial with him.

Shrieker Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Very nice 'scars, For OSL, maybe it need a further white highlight in the 'source' as yellow light tends to be very 'white intense' if that makes sense?
