daemonclaw Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 :wub: thought i would put up some pics of a little side project i did when bolter was down the idea is a space marine army stranded on some distant world cut off from the emperium by warp storms . Having their numbers severly cut through battle losses they have to rely a great deal on scouts and desert camo hit and run tactics to continue the Emperor's work.anyway here are thesnipers i made before i knew they were doing new plastics :ph34r: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/beb5646a.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/467c086d.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/72e45eba.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/d08bdaf3.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/b358b69c.jpg comments and crit welcome to help with the fleshing out of the army and fluff cheers D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85155-homemade-snipers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
valincius Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 :ph34r:, I love the models. But, I would go for a more stunning paint job, perhaps some more texture.

flyinghippo Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 It's a shame that they're bringing out plastic sniper scouts this summer tho... Adding a little depth to the cloth would make it look a lot better. Try doing brown and then just go over everything but the cracks in the current colour followed by white on the top of the folds.

daemonclaw Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 thanx for the input guys the painting was kind of a rush job to get a visual idea down, i was thinking of a camo scheme on the cloth kind of desert storm like this http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/40knew107.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/cabc2fa5.jpg bare in mind these are also just made up quickly to get a visual reference :ph34r: also here is a vet sarge one of the few remaining space marine troops http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/47418cae.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/imperial/79548d77.jpg any help with the fluff and stuff is appreciated cheers D :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85155-homemade-snipers/#findComment-985157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 wow, I really like the desert Camo guy, my only criticism is that one of the rifles looks a little "bendy". I especially like your turquoise(sp?) colour Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/85155-homemade-snipers/#findComment-985435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

valincius Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 The same thing goes for the bolter guy, but the powerfist guy is really nice, I would ink the backpack though, make it look more worn like the armour.
