MetalFingers Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) After a long hiatus from the hobby I have been pulled back in after watching the Astartes 2 Trailer. I haven't played or gamed since 4th edition, so I'm in for quite a shakeup it seems with state of affairs in 10th. Naturally, with my reintroduction to 40k being Astartes and Space Marine 2, I had to pick up a box of intercessors. Going with a custom chapter for these guys and calling them Siege Dragons, an Imperial Fists successor chapter in my head cannon. Lots of Vindicators, lots of dreadnoughts and lots of plasma. Should be good fun! I'll be posting my updates here as they come in, got some basecoats, shading and edge highlights on these Intercessors over the weekend. Hoping to get to some clean up, lenses, bolters and chipping/weathering this coming weekend. 12 years of rust is a lot to dust off!!!! I have also decided that it would only be a proper return to the hobby if I sculpted some plague marines. This will be the B project of this log until I wander off to paint some Necrons and AoE. Going for a cleaner, less dirty nurgle with these guys as I dont LOVE the current take on nurgle models. I'll be going for some Ma.K mixed with 3rd edition nurgle designs at a Primaris size.

Firedrake Cordova Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Looks like a good start on the Intercessors, and an interesting colour scheme.

Pearson73 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 That's a clean start on the loyalists. The Plague Marines are already starting to look really cool too. I also much prefer the old style for them.

Terminatorinhell Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I really like the scheme. It's sort of like loyalist DG and raptors mixed.

Firedrake Cordova Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 They look great as an assembled group. The bases look very nice, too MetalFingers 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385431-metal-fingers-hobby-log/#findComment-6101633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusted Boltgun Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Very smart indeed. What tufts are you using on those bases? The combination work well with your Marine scheme and ground colour.

Im using a combination of gamergrass highland tufts and swampland marsh grass I believe, still need to hit em with some varnish and add a bit of pigments to really tie em all together. I appreciate all the kind words y’all! Having a blast getting back into the hobby. Currently trying to get the rust off of vehicle painting with an old poorly built, poorly primed predator. Bonus Inceptor block in included.
