seriade Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Great models really well done very nice mix of blending different mk armor together. One small point the shoulder pad with the bolts in it is a right shoulder pad not a left as that pad was used at the time to protect the marines dormant side against other marines bolters.

thewarriorhunter Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yup, those are looking good for having a 'rush' job done on them.

Johanhgg Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 The carcharodons Astra just managed to get hold of some squads of these. Not done by a long shot but posting it anyway.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 The Primaris Carcharodons look promising. May I suggest decorating their bases with enemy corpses, and the Carcharodons themselves with bloodstains?

Aothaine Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Looking good! What kind of bases are you going with? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346162-in-the-empty-void-carcharodon-astra/page/2/#findComment-5175134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanhgg Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks guys! I dont really know to be honest. Im open to suggestions :) I don’t have any skulls or corpses to base with :( I was thinking maybe a battlefield base with snow to make the dark armour pop. Bloodstains will happen:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346162-in-the-empty-void-carcharodon-astra/page/2/#findComment-5175223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I don’t have any skulls or corpses to base withIf you can stomach the expense, buy some models from an enemy faction- maybe Astra Militarum guardsmen whose armor you defaced with Chaos symbols, so they may represent the Lost and the Damned- and put the UNASSEMBLED models on the base. Paint the unassembled models' joints the colors of spilled blood, torn flesh, and broken bones; if you have more time and money, carve open the models' bellies, and green stuff some spilled guts. Naturally, the Carcharodons' close combat weapons should be especially bloodstained, to show they were used to inflict fatal injuries on the corpses decorating their bases. I was thinking maybe a battlefield base with snow to make the dark armour pop.Good idea.

thewarriorhunter Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I would suggest a warmer toned base since the grey armor is in the cooler side of the spectrum. A nice sand color, or khaki could look really good. Lightly shade the edges so it's a little brighter in the center to bring focus to the model.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 The Reiver looks good in black. Will you paint all your Reivers in this color, to identify them as Scout equivalents? Or just that on Reiver, as a Chaplain in Mark X Phobos armor?

golfdeltafoxtrot Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I like the sword swap, looks like something ancient that's been in the Chapter armoury for centuries.

Johanhgg Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yes he is. I will not deviate from the road of completing these 1500 p. There will be more primaris and tanks in this carcharodon Astra-Army.

Johanhgg Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Some more progress, the little ones will be a part of a ten man squad of veterans with stormshields and chainblades/axes. They will accompany Tyberos in a land raider Crusader. Guys, what you say. I only sparsely weared and teared them. Since dirt and Blood will be added i dont want to overdo it.

Shadow Captain Vyper Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I agree, less is more. If you wanted them to appear more battle-worn, I would advise more practical/physical damage (rents, bullet pock marks, chunks of armor chipped/removed). They are scavengers after all! As the stand now, they are gorgeous, but I can appreciate going further given the Sharks legacy.
