Gstealer Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Been a visitor to the site for a bit and have never done a log before.I posted these over in the White Scars forum but decided to make an official post.Picked up the Primaris Marine half of a box set and figured I'd have a go painting my 1st Marine Army.I'm not new to the hobby but have never done a painted Marine army before. After finding a single Mantis Warrior I painted for 2nd Edition. (yes I'm old) I decided they were going to be it.Here he is with New Brother and an old friendhttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/ON5X60.jpg I'm trying to do a unit a week, but life happens. Lets see where this goes...Started with Intercessor Squadhttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/OTbBl8.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/zYIfcP.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/zku3cF.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/922/n4xrB5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336851-primaris-mantis-warriors-and-other-things/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 ow, these guys are looking good. It's nice to see the Primaris Marines in different colour schemes.

Gstealer Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Also, I haven't decided how these will be based.. so brown placeholders for nowNext up the Inceptor Squad (or Fwooosh Marines) and I like the gun shieldshttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/hfkhZr.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/pXhhyO.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/mI6FFj.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/aiFTZ0.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/LU63QG.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336851-primaris-mantis-warriors-and-other-things/#findComment-4824277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trixie Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Looking good man, very striking combination of colours here. The primaris faceplates look sick in the Mantis Warrior scheme. Please let there be a giant Katana style power sword on one of your future Primaris characters :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336851-primaris-mantis-warriors-and-other-things/#findComment-4824305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Niiiiiice work! :tu: You make the Fwoosh Marines look good! And I was really happy to see that ol' Guardsman. Or perhaps I should say Brood Brother...

Gstealer Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks guys... I'm actually enjoying working on these after I found the exact green I was looking for.Last guy in the 'finished' so far is the AncientI wish the skull wasn't in the center of the banner.The odd spacing is because if I had worked the letters into it they'd be the MAhIIS Warriorshttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/eAs9vO.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/aryUSF.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/924/mM9Scd.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/pVFYOP.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336851-primaris-mantis-warriors-and-other-things/#findComment-4824598 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyroclast91 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Awesome work man I've always been a fan of the Mantis chapter and hated how they ended up in the fluff glad to see them getting the primaris treatment.

FlamingDeth Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Does lieutenant Dan have bionic legs, by chance?
