XIX Legion True Scale project - Stories After Istvaan

[Mekol]

I made a decision to start third (and again "final") project and Raven Guard was rather Natural choice.

This is where it all began.  Im gonna have 1 unit of mk6 tacticals.

Decided later to go with Phobos - looks better.

 

 

Second squad is wearing mk3 armor. Thinking about making these Veterans but not sure 

 

Dark Fury hits fast and hard. Hope so...

 

Gotta have Apotechary with the group.

 

 

Im hoping to use Arvus Lighter with Raven Guard. Kind of suits them, taking a civilian vehicle when needed. Just what to put inside ? Melta Support team ? Il probably run IA / SA as allies so meaby them

 

Two Predators Join the force - probably gonna paint them next.




List of model comming up for the project.

10x Mk6 Tacticals - possibly 10 more.
10x mk2 / mk3 Support Squad witl Calivers
10x Dark Fury Assault Squad
10x Heavy Support Marines with Missile Launchers
2x Predators
1x Primaris Lightning 
1x Deredeo
3x Grav Cannon Rapiers
1x Damocles Command Rhino probably.
3 - 5 Characters of various types

Militia / Other legions will support this project with Castellax, Voraxes painted neutral theme.

Killer stuff! I'm loving those Dark Furies

[Gederas]

Love the looks of these guys. The Apothecary's jump pack is hilariously loaded with gear though :lol:

[Mekol]

 

Gederas - iv seen much, much  worse :D Primaris model is pretty much the same, Gotta have swag if you gonna do stuff anyway.

[Cryptix]

I didn't even realize they were Primaris until I saw the apothecary. How did you do the legs on the mk3 marines?

[Pearson73]

Really solid work, particularly on the Furies and painting of the Lighter and bases.

 

How did you make the predator turret?

[ranulf the revenant]

Looking good, especially the MKVI (love that armour). I tried my hand on this method (cutting up the legs and using spacers), but my results have been a bit hit or miss. How did you get them to look so smooth Edited February 12, 2019 by ranulf the revenant

[Mekol]

Cryptix - legs are CSM terminator legs. Just remove all the chains, and some magic with GS. Removing those smaller panels and start is really frustrating but pays of. I only did like 5 in a way i was really happy. 

Pearson 73 - Predator Turret is 3d printed. Wanted to test it out. Had some mk1 rhino front doors doing nothing and vola. Its ok - undercoat will hide most of the layers but mostly i just wanted to this this whole new thing to me out. After 4 - 10 years more people will have devices like these.

Ranulf - Yeah primaris legs are the answer. It is rather easy, not that time consuming but really monotonic work to convert them. One thing you need is cable roller from GSWorld to help with the cables.

Thank you, I might check that thing out. Tell my about monoton work... I build about 20 upscaled marines, and the process of cutting out plastic card spacers again and again... Edited February 12, 2019 by ranulf the revenant

Looking good brother!

[Mekol]

Started paiting my Mk6 marines. Still wip.

But fairly happy how they turn up. Just think RG theme is one of those legions that tend to look (in my mind) unfinished until pigments. Some other projects tend to "feel" ready much quicker.

 

 

 

[Pearson73]

Some nice clean paintwork there, I look forward to seeing more.

[Mekol]

Second squad slooowly takings its shape. ILame Pappa Nurgle blessed me random virus and only thing I have been able to is some painting. 

 Like with the previous squad i think that after battle damage I am happy with the results. Few photos before and after pigments.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[Pyroclast91]

Absolutely beautiful work on those raven guard they look fantastic.

[Pearson73]

Solid work, nice weathering up from the base onto the shins.

[Mekol]

Final Images of mk6 squad. Did some light / heavy battle damage to armor and I call them done. DId not care to take pics after the base clean ups so this is what they end up look like.

Next time i hope to share some legion "Robots"  or a Deredeo.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done.

[Brother Pheidias]

Gorgeous Raven Guard.

[Pearson73]

Continuing the good work and weathering.

[Atia]

Awesome work

[Mekol]

New Toys for the legion. Been paiting kind of lot for the past few weeks and i am fairly happy with the results.

First up - Deredeo.

 

 

fairly happy with this model. I do find it hard to bring some color to the weapons. Meaby bluish / purple grom from the start of the pipe ? I dunno...

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Well done. I like the face you weathered his legs with dust matching the colors of the rocks decorating his base.

[Mekol]

Some Battle-automas for the Legion

 

[Atia]

Really cool!

 

Oh, and a picture guide for turning Primaris into Mark VI would be greatly appreciated :)
