@ Naryn: Really nice Rogue Trader vibe with those Marines, well done!

[Naryn]

Wow, SpacedHulk, those guys are lovely! I love how the blue and copper/gold play off each other and contrast with how stark the landscape on the base is. Awesome work!

 

The backpacks on my guys are spliced together molds of the Imperial Space Marine pack vents and the Ennox Sorrlock pack body. If I were a smarter man I would have cast a version I had already frankensteined together, but instead I have each base pack as a separate mold, basically doubling my work

Your models are well-painted.

[Midnightmare]

Apologies Dosjetka and fellow Badabians (I know, I know I made that word up!) but I am going to have to respectfully drop out - I just don’t have the hobby time/resource as I have gotten into Necromunda over Killteam, and I have decided to use my Primaris as Flesh Eaters.

 

Sorry guys, keep up the good work as there are some awesome conversions and paint jobs here!

I'm making slow progress on my naval security detachment but I am making some as you can see

Worth nothing a lot of the contrast is down to the hard lighting it is under, but the plan for the armour plates is to have that effect painted on. I would usually go for edge highlighting on black armour but given the limited scope of these I figured I'd try something a bit different.

#EDIT#

Since I've completed the armour, I thought I'd add it in rather than spamming, the shoulder pad didn't quite work out so will have to rework it, but you get the jist

I did also pick up some of the imperial navy dice from Aeronautica game (for if and when these guys end up in a game)

Cheers

Love the colors on those guys Mr Yellow, the highlight on the armor is distinctive and will look even better in a group. They look kind of beetle-y, which is how I always imagined the Imperium sees its shipboard forces and crew--more of a hive than a set of individuals. Plus I like the idea of them swarming when the hull is breached

Not much progress for me today, work has let up but between allergies and a nasty cough I haven't had much time to paint. Did manage to get some modeling in though; this time working on a few specialists for the team. Also managed to tweak my camera settings to get slightly better pictures! Or at least have more control over the focus. Anyway, here's the two newest lads, bringing a little heavy firepower to the team:

Managed to sneak a spare Intercessor leg onto the sniper, and cut down his rifle a little bit. I also gave him the scope from the Suppressor cannon I turned into a heavy bolter on the other guy. I may replace the ammo feed with a flexible one from a third party manufacturer, I had a hard time lining it up after splicing it onto the custom backpack I'm using on these guys.

Pretty pleased with how both of them turned out! I have the materials to make two more of each of these guys once I branch out from the killteam format, which is pretty exciting. Eventually I'd like to have a small army of these guys, since my old Mantis Warriors are all out of scale. Got some more wire on the way to finish off these guys and a few others and then I can start the painting process

How has everyone else been getting on?

[W.A.Rorie]

Finally get time on the airbrush and left other paints I need at home.......

Love that mix of colors!

Good job on the Marines. Are they Primaris, or truescale Marines who haven't/won't cross the Rubicon?

[Dwango]

Hey, war009. I really like the detail you've put into those faces! Very realistic.

So a little update from me. I have completed the players. Now just need to finish the shadow seer. That should be done soonish.

[W.A.Rorie]

Thanks Dwango, your harlequins look great. No way I would even attempt to paint that checkerboard pattern

[Mr Yellow]

Thanks Dwango, your harlequins look great. No way I would even attempt to paint that checkerboard pattern

Yeah, you've got to be a sadist or something if you want to paint a force that has lots of chequered patterns on it  

[W.A.Rorie]

Yeah you are sadist yellow and chequered patterns. But your Lamenters look good too

[Zebulon]

Awesome Quins Dwango!

 

This challenge runs to the end of the year doesn’t it? I need to get back to my Marines Errant, I am also all over a Harlequins army at the moment...

[sockwithaticket]

The Raptors look good , but I feel like you could push the shading on the armour a bit darker.

[W.A.Rorie]

And the first 5 of 19 are done besides making the slings for 2 guns...

[Naryn]

Love them, especially the guy with the chainsword. Great rich colors on those guys as well!
