Deus_Ex_Machina Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Well, it´s about bloody time to finish up those Recruit & Command boxes from the previous edition since the Necron Rust Bots are already standing tall and proud in the glass cabinet. What´s left? All the Primaris. Right now the ten Assault Intercessors have been built and primed: https://ibb.co/album/k5BnSL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted September 9 Author Share Posted September 9 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. https://ibb.co/album/k5BnSL Dr_Ruminahui 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Ex_Machina Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 (edited) Update: Paintjob is done. Still needs base, decals and weathering. https://ibb.co/album/k5BnSL 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.

SvenIronhand Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Haha, yeah. It ruined my streak, too! Deus_Ex_Machina 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Ex_Machina Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 (edited) 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!

Firedrake Cordova Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Progress is progress. Decals can be a pain to apply, although the results are normally worth the effort Deus_Ex_Machina 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Ex_Machina Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 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). https://ibb.co/album/jh406q 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.

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted Tuesday at 09:30 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 09:30 PM 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.

Deus_Ex_Machina Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago (edited) And here they are: https://ibb.co/album/D9NZjP 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.

Rusted Boltgun Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The boxed mullti-part marines (such as these) rather than the easy build versions have separate pads, allowing the use of the custom ones. Hope you find a home for them. Deus_Ex_Machina 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus_Ex_Machina Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago The only remaining Primaris in my collection are those from the Leviathan box. Are those also easy to build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
