Tankus Wokus Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I've been working on this army for a couple of years now but have never posted any pictures. The army is going through a re-arming and re-organisation exercise so I thought I'd snap pics as I moved through each squad. My original aim was to paint a full battle company but I have acquired so much Space Marine stuff that my ultimate goal now is to finish the entire chapter. Captain Zilus Grax of the 5th Company. Although Terminator armour is usually reserved for the 1st Company, this suit of Cataphractii armour was gifted to Grax by the Forge Masters of Vindalex for is aid in defending the Forge World from Abaddon's forces during the Gothic Wars. http://i.imgur.com/ff9AsLe.jpg Company Command Squad http://i.imgur.com/qjK9PvM.jpg Tactical Squad 1 http://i.imgur.com/P0BN6OJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EIhmTN8.jpg More pictures will go up once I have sorted through the squads and re-armed them appropriately.

WarriorFish Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Very nice halved scheme and choice of colours, highlights in particular help it pop :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4539174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Wow, those look superb! It's a Chapter I'd love to collect at some point and I think you might have just pushed it up the list.

Race Bannon Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 The RTera squad is so choice. That was eye-poppingly awesome. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4549066 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draakur Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Well that came out of nowhere! So cool seeing such an obscure Chapter being presented at such high quality - really, bravo! He would be proud brother, very much looking forward to your next instalment :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4549235 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Goodness me, I haven't enjoyed seeing red and yellow Space Marines so much since I first saw Fred Reed's Howling Griffons army in GW Bristol far too many years ago! Well done, these look absolutely fantastic and you should feel very proud of them. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4549239 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lephisto Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) This is awesome! I actually thought this was your DiY chapter until I read until the end, then realizing its already a chapter. Just out of curiosity, what kits did you use to make the command squad?

Tankus Wokus Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 Again thanks for your comments guys. @Deathspectersgt7 - My free hand is awful to, they chapter markings are transfers I got from the download section of this very site. @Iephisto - The command squad are made up from Sevrin Loth's Command Squad with added laurels and helmet crests (the scorpion was also removed from the champions helmet.) The Apothecary is from Forge Worlds heresy line.

Race Bannon Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 What transfer sheet brand or service did you use? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4551485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Wokus Posted November 2, 2016 Author Share Posted November 2, 2016 I got it from Amazon UK. Clear Inkjet Waterslide Decal Paper supplied by Mr Decal Paper. I think it comes from China though (packaging was a give away). Used my own printer BUT make sure you varnish the transfers once printed to seal them or they will disintegrate once you put them in the water. I give them a quick spray of Citadel Purity Seal and that works just fine.

abadizzle Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Powerful slick T-wonk! Really dig the painting, some of those poses drive me nuts, they aren't quite "slipping on a banana peel" bonkers but I'm a "level-guy" at heart. Very solid showing nonetheless, thanks for sharing! ...now ...paint/make/model/win KDK :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4558103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankus Wokus Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 @ abadizzle - Ha yeah I know what you mean with the poses, the bases make it a bit hard to position them correctly. They do look better in real life I promise, as for the KDK my heart just wasn't in it. I found them quite a chore to be honest Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327090-my-completed-crimson-guard-new-units/#findComment-4558185 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBelly1863 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 LOVE the color scheme! Doing the split colors is definitely tough, but you achieve the look well and with such vivid colors as well! Keep up the awesome work, a whole chapter of these guys would be crazy!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Excellent work. I'm surprised there's actually a canon Chapter named "Crimson Guard"- I initially thought you named a homebrew Chapter after Cobra's elite shock troops.
