Grognard meets Primaris


Recommended Posts

Update:

The armour has been finished as well as all parts with the second colour (dirty white). In addition the pouches and the belts are complete too. Still to do: Eye lenses, chainsword activator buttons, brass icon left glove, laser sights and gloves. Well and last but not least decals and base/weathering which will come at the end.

Edit:

Who said painting marines is trivial and quick?! I am now sitting over two weeks with those cyborg killers. Ups, it´s actually a month. Damn Space Marine 2 is ruining my paint schedule. I need to sue Saber Interactive for ruining my progress.

Update:

I wasn´t satisfied with the eye lenses so additional work has been put into them. Furthermore the texture paint for the base has been applied with a wash of Umber. And last but not least the first five marines got transfers. This took quite a while to cut all transfers so that they would cover the surface more smoothly. As a result of this not the entire squad has been decorated yet. Just ten marines take a lot of time to complete!

I proudly proclaim: It has been done! I have finished them without breaching into the next month. Ten cyborg killers are ready to maim, kill and eviscerate. They shall cause such havoc to the enemies of mankind so that the holy Emperor can see their handiwork even from far away Terra! (my favourite quote from SM2 although it is not 100% correct).

This time I tried something new and put the glow effect on the exhausts of the plasma pistol barrel instead of the plasma spool which is less bright in comparison. So it vents excessive plasma after overheating and that is why the marine is now intend to chop things up as he can´t use the gun for shooting right now.

I have finished assembling and basecoating the Outriders (3 bikers) from the Command box (9th 40K). It took me two evenings to do so and it was a pain in the butt because I had to cut the connector rods otherwise the models wouldn´t fit. This also included breaking apart fully built models to remedy mistakes. In a nutshell it was the horrid Necron building experience all over again. I am still so annoyed that it took so much time to assemble these guys that pics will follow tomorrow.

I used a dedicated Iron Hands head from the IH_Primaris upgrade kit for the sergeant. A very silly question concerning this kit:

 

It comes also with shoulder pads but all the shoulders of the Intercessors and Bikers are moulded to the arms. So for which models are those shoulders for? As of now I can´t use them for any modern marines but maybe there is a use for them for the vintage marines which would be quite funny. 

 

Edit:

Hobby plans for the rest of the year: Complete Outriders and the two characters from the boxes in November. Start working on the forty IH Tacticals from the HH core box in November. Finish those forty marines in December with the two characters from the core box. Also finish the Space Hulk battle report and upload it to the forum.
