GSCUprising Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 As someone who enjoys painting his models with a really heavy, gritty look, I can really appreciate what you're doing here. In particular, thanks for inspiring me to up my basing game. Looking forward to seeing more.

Tallarn Commander Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 As always, the models are superb, especially the shading, weathering, and color palette.

The Pounder Posted October 23 Author Share Posted October 23 @GSCUprising, thanks very much for the compliment, I thought your basing was already good! Cheers @Firedrake Cordova! Thanks @Tallarn Commander, I have used a muted palette in most of my projects, I’m considering doing a Ork Kult of Speed to mix things up a bit! Thanks @W.A.Rorie! I’m nearly halfway through my last Infantry Squad, pics to come! Thank you guys for the interest!

The Pounder Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 This is my final Infantry Squad for the Krieg! I’ve really enjoyed this project and I’m happy with the paint job. Thanks for all the comments, they really help to keep me motivated! Here’s the pics: Death Korps of Krieg Death Korps of Krieg Death Korps of Krieg As always, thanks for looking!

GSCUprising Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 (edited) Going to start tinkering with some different basing techniques, thanks to your inspiration. I did well with my Atalan Jackals, but need to broaden my horizons. I'd love to unleash my lads and lassies on your forces. What a battle would be had!

Firedrake Cordova Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Your painting style is definitely in keeping with- and sympathetic to the imagery of the Death Korps The Pounder, Gnasher and GSCUprising 2 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/386548-the-pounder%E2%80%99s-40k-and-hh-project-log/page/2/#findComment-6138711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 Thanks @GSCUprising would’ve been quite the spectacle! Sadly I’m selling my Krieg won’t be possible but thanks you. @Firedrake Cordova, cheers man, I have a very scruffy style of painting so I feel it leans in well to the weathering! Thanks very much @Endtransmission! Next on the painting table I’ll have some Dark Angels!

Bonehead Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 (edited) Superb work as ever, which probably goes without saying by now. One question: does the heavy weapon set now just come with one guy per gun?

The Pounder Posted November 1 Author Share Posted November 1 Yes they come with one Korpsman per gun plus a spotter for the unit! (He gives them the ability to shoot on death) Cheers for the compliment! I’ve been sucked into Blood Bowl atm so my next 40K update may be a while.

The Pounder Posted November 23 Author Share Posted November 23 So life has been in the way of hobby for a little while now. I finally got going on my Ultramarines again! This update is my rendition of Captain Mikael Fabian! The description of him in the books are that he had lost an eye and left arm so has bionics. I sourced loads of parts and raided my bitz box to bring him to life! I saw on YouTube that Vallejo was producing some new “True Metallic Metal” paints so I thought this time I’d use them. Really happy with the results: Captain Fabian 3rd Company Ultramarines Captain Fabian 3rd Company Ultramarines Captain Fabian 3rd Company Ultramarines Captain Fabian 3rd Company Ultramarines Captain Fabian 3rd Company Ultramarines Not sure what’s next, hopefully things will calm down a bit!

Brother Christopher Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 1 hour ago, The Pounder said: So life has been in the way of hobby for a little while now. That's the worst, isn't it? But being in the hobby for a long time means that this will happen. I let the opposite happen: I let the hobby get in the way of life and now have to suffer the consequences. Good luck with whatever life brings, both hobby- and otherwise. The model looks great. I like the edge highlights, the (what appears to be) metallic finish of the shoulder pads' trim and the general feel. The choice of bits is also great: While I'm not familiar with the character, he looks like an UM commander should.

The Pounder Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 I hear you @Brother Christopher. It’s definitely a tightrope keeping the balance between life and fun. Thanks for the compliment and best wishes I hope things go well for you too. I’ve decided to paint a Jump Captain next! Such a good sculpt!

Brother Christopher Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 (edited) 2 hours ago, The Pounder said: I’ve decided to paint a Jump Captain next! Such a good sculpt! That's a good choice. And I'm glad you like him. I find all Primaris Jump Infantry a bit awkward but the 'old' Primaris Jump Captain is by far the best of the bunch (the new one, with a storm shield, is okayish too). I'm curious where you'll land with him. EDIT: Are you planning to modify the mini or you'll go with the vanilla kit this time?

The Pounder Posted November 25 Author Share Posted November 25 Thanks @Brother Christopher! I’m using the one with the Relic Shield and Thunderhammer. Just a head swap this time! Cheers @W.A.Rorie! I used the bionic arm from the Lieutenant kit, I removed the hand and used a Gladius from Archie’s Forge! Thanks @Vairocanum! Hopefully not too long before I get a chance to do some painting, looking forward to doing another update! @GSCUprising, I’m really trying to work on my neatness so I’m happy you like what I’m doing.

The Pounder Posted November 28 Author Share Posted November 28 Thanks so much @space wolf! I too love the Roman edge to Ultramarines, it’s why I’ve restarted this project! As promised, another Captain. This time with a jump pack and badass Thunderhammer! I absolutely love this sculpt. So dynamic and imposing. He looks like he’ll take nobody’s :cuss:! Here’s the pics: Ultramarines Captain with Jump Pack Ultramarines Captain with Jump Pack Ultramarines Captain with Jump Pack Ultramarines Captain with Jump Pack Next for the Ultramarines will be either Marneus Calgar or the 3rd Company Ancient.
