Gulltramarine Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) This is my custom RG successor chapter, the Angels Laridae. http://i.imgur.com/j4PEJ65.jpg It's a mostly jump pack and flyer army, the colour scheme is based on seagulls http://i.imgur.com/U6Q7e3U.jpg This is 1st Captain Myke and his unfortunate pet cultist, he's my counts-as-Shrike http://i.imgur.com/KKWZSE8.jpg This is Chief Librarian Tredavious and Father Beatdown, the only Chaplain for the entire chapter http://i.imgur.com/2egHFOa.jpg Here is Lieutenant Gylfi with his double-sided eviscerator (counts as Teeth-of-Terra in-game). He was one of my first paintjobs after an eleven year hiatus from the game, he's a bit rough http://i.imgur.com/9bk3y2s.jpg This is my Chapter Master. As per Chapter rules, he has long relinquished his actual name and is simply referred to as the Admiral. The Admiral gets carried into battle by Livingstone, an ancient giant gull native to our home planet, Galapogor http://i.imgur.com/5DkPk3a.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eQZ50jr.jpg Not everything flies. Galapogor has 2 extreme climates, one is oceanic and coastal, the other is icy and cold. On this side of Galapogor is where the much smaller contingent of tactical, scout and devastator companies are trained in isolation from our airborne manfleets http://i.imgur.com/xWw27ZW.jpg I will update you with their progress Edited August 26, 2017 by Gulltramarine NiceGuyAdi, Colonel Bindoff, 9x19 Parabellum and 11 others 14 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duz_ Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Dude that's awesome! I really like the conversions and colour scheme! What white do you use? I also like how you've added those wings to the jump packs instead of just using the full sang guard back pack Gulltramarine 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like how you've added those wings to the jump packs instead of just using the full sang guard back pack Thanks, and thank you everyone. It's White Scar white built up from Celestra grey. Tbh, when I started back to the hobby, I had no idea that white was so hard to paint, and I think it shows. A lot of the layering is quite rough and inconsistent. But I basically have lahmian medium dumped into all of my whites and greys and my more recent paintjobs have shown a deal of improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Haha I feel your pain my white is similar ulthuan grey + WS and medium ... Im considering changing to off white Still looks ace though! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Where'd you get the giant eagle? Does he simply "count as" a jump pack, maybe granting bonus attacks when the Admiral Charges? (I don't think a real eagle will be useful in the vacuum of space, or on Venus and other planets with toxic atmospheres.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I don't think a real eagle will be useful in the vacuum of space, or on Venus and other planets with toxic atmospheres.) It's a great eagle from fantasy with a green stuff beak. He just counts as a jump pack. I actually have two packs for him that both magnetise on to his back, one is just plain if he needs to get into a building or not fall.over every 2 seconds Edited August 28, 2017 by Gulltramarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoBread Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I can see you've put a lot of time and effort into the painting and I commend that, I'm not a decent painter either but you've gotten them to tabletop standards so well done. And then to prove their tabletop standard you put them on a standard tabletop. But please don't get bogged down on the modelling painting side of the hobby, you could be good at the gaming part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinbones Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Great idea!! shame its not painted that bit crisper, the sloppiness really lowers the overall look I think you need to be more fair than that, clearly a lot of time was put into painting this army. Its quite high concept to replace the Raven motif with Seagulls, and I think OP deserves credit for thinking of this. Most people don't live near the sea and haven't heard of Seagulls NiceGuyAdi 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauFish Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 like the time and effort you put into this, the models look really good. No doubt that you are a good painter. Would you be able to give some background into why you went with Seagulls? It would seem an odd choice, most would probably went with a more fearsome animal like a hawk or Eagle, seagulls just seem a bit dull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulltramarine Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) seagulls just seem a bit dull Seagulls are great lads, I respect their A-level game They have a pretty distinct colour scheme too, so that helps Edited August 28, 2017 by Gulltramarine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauFish Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Do you live near the sea? They really are just considered vermin really. They are good at stealing food from old people and kids. And fowling up statues. Like I said, just think a more fearsome animal would have been a better use of your time. And White is hardly a colour scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauFish Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 But is the field by the sea? I am just really curious as to why you picked seagulls, it just seems like an odd choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I said it was a good concept but time spent on painting does not equal good painting Welcome to the B+C and the Ravenspire. Now that 100% of your posts so far has been spent telling someone how their paint job is not good, maybe share a constructive suggestion about what you would do differently?

smokinbones Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm still blown away by the idea behind this army, replacing one bird theme with another is such a brilliant idea. What white did you use? Is there any difference between Corax white & White Scar?I really struggle with white, should I spray Corax and then base with White Scar or is there any difference?
