Marines Malevolent and Other WiP

[Combat_Vet]

The new Commander for my 2017 army. 

 

Still WiP, but would love some input on the yellow. I can't seem to get a functioning color.

 

The same thing happened with my Night Lords, but I eventually got it where I wanted it. 

 

I've got two DI boxes, so I should have a decent start to the army. I'm considering a mix of Primaris with about half the army being "real" marines converted up to scale. 

 

Any and all input or advice is welcome. I should be able to update every few days (school permitting).

The yellow looks Good. Do a Mix of regular and Primaris .

The yellow looks fine to me, but you may want to fish around in the Imperial Fists forum for some ideas.

 

The weathering looks a bit excessive to me, detracting from the rest of the paint job. The amount of weathering might be based on the backstory to your army, though, representing a force that has been in the field awhile, or is in a very muddy/dirty position, so that's a minor quibble.

 

If you're interested in painting up some legacy Adeptus Astartes miniatures, you might check out the "Armageddon Needs You!" link in my signature.

Nice gritty look! Brother Tyrax might be able to say more about the yellow (which looks good to me), he also does tremendously gritty Marines Malevolent. Off to a good start!

[hushrong]

He looks like malevolence incarnate! The colors, gritty wear & tear, and angry demeanor look to be right on the money!

[Garrot]

Love seeing Marines Malevolent, no matter the context. The yellow looks fine to be honest.

Looking forward to seeing more.

I haven't given up on the MM's

 

I've started a Veteran Squad for use in Specialist Games

 

But during the process I got side tracked and decided to try my hand at terrain. I am going to make a board that progresses from wasteland, through light industrial, into shantytown (poor habitation).

 

My first attempt was a roadway

 

My Second attempt is a Schola/Temple that is in disuse

 

If terrain doesn't belong here please let me know for future postings

[Brother Tyler]

The squad looks good. What "Specialist" games do you plan on using the squad in?

 

And terrain is perfectly acceptable in the Forge forums.

[Combat_Vet]

I apologize for the late response Brother Tyler. I'll be using the three man team as a "prop" squad in Necromunda here at the house,  I'll add a few Marines to it for games of Kill Team, with finally filling out the squad for games of 40K.

 

Since my last posting work has progressed on the Malevolents.

I've also completed an Escher gang, a Goliath gang, and I'm working on an Orlock gang now.

 

 

As always and tips, advice, or any C&C would be welcome.

Looking good, Combat_Vet. Keep it up! :tu:

 

My only bit of advice would be to go a bit easier on the weathering as it's a bit on the heavy side, though I know from experience that it's easier said than done!

Love the MM!

 

I think for the MM, the weathering is fine, as they typically are scavenging for equipment anyway.

[hushrong]

Dang, I thought I had posted earlier! Your MM are looking great and I love the look of the Hellblasters. I love that extra wear and tear on their armor.

[Combat_Vet]

Thank you all for the kind words and input on the weathering for the marines.

 

I have started my vow for the ETL VI with the Chaplain, Centurions, and Primaris Captain. I will use this thread for the ETL as it is easier to simply place my WiP here rather than start a new thread.

 

Centurions (no longer Blue!)

These are the early WiP so any C&C now would help. If you see a mistake or know a technique I should try, please feel free to shout out.
