noysh Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Here are some pics of my DIY chapter of Space Marines: The Flatliners. Pardon the mold lines. Some of these guys are Macragge marines. I have since mended my ways and my newer stuff I clean those off.

SharderBlade Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The painting is kind of cartoony in a good way. Excellent black lining, I imagine these guys look pretty impressive across the table top. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorschach Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Very pretty, nice scheme and very cool highlighting. I agree with SharderBlade about the cartoony look, and I simply love it, quite close to my own models. On thing to comment on is that your paints seem a tad thick-ish, but this may be the photos. Watering down your paints is essential, especially when you do the rest of the job this well! By the way, I dream of seeing something tank-y from your army :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoxI Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 nice job dude! Does the name have anything to do with the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st.germaine Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Very nice looking scheme. Don't see a lot of brown. Any background info for them? What traits or codex do you use with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Amarel Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Oh very nice, brown is very underused (my tiny DIY chapter 'Screaming Apes' uses a very similar, if not identical, scheme but doesn't pull it off as well as yours does). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Tiberius Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Personally I don't care for the chapter name, but I really like the paint scheme. I agree Brown is underused and it will definitely stand out on the battlefield. The paint seems a little thick (mostly noticeable on your highlights), but definitely not a condemnation from me as I have the same problem. My only suggestion is to go back and "carve" away some of the highlights to make them thinner. Otherwise I can't wait to see what you do next. B) Oh, I forgot to add that I really dig the gold lettering, it adds a nice accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Redemption Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Nice stuff. Cool colour scheme. The gold parts work very well as does the writing on the shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTDemon Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 maaan , I was pondering a colour scheme sooo similar to this but i thought it'd look weird... thanks for proving me wrong ! these guys look awesome! the colour scheme looks reeeeeaaaaaaal nice :) , good choice of limited pallette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primarch16 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Love the colour scheme dude, nice to see more brown space marines out there, could we have a tutorial perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozenflame Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I agree. Very nice colour scheme. Love all the neutral colour colour-schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demaroth Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Cool Idea, Nice Color Scheme, Good Execution. Great way to show your stuff! Seconded for more info. With a unique name and chapter symbol like this, you've got to have a good background. Eager to hear about it. :wub: - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noysh Posted May 31, 2006 Author Share Posted May 31, 2006 Thanks for all the compliments and comments! Some responses: The name 'The Flatliners' isn't a band reference. I've never heard of the band. And I admit it isn't a stong name. Likely an anachronism in 40k. But I was trying to come up with a name that went with the zig-zaggy icon (which I came up with before the name) and stopped with that. Alternate suggestions are always welcome. ;) Colors: Base with Scorched Brown Armor plates-> Graveyard Earth Armor Highlights-> Commando Khaki Arms/Heads -> Commando Khaki Built off Graveyard Earth Hightlights -> Bleached Bone I go to Bone with Skull white highlights on helmets of vets and commanders. I accomplish the gunky looking glold with Shining Gold, Brown Ink, Shining Gold drybrush. I've been attempting to age the metal because, while they take good care of their equipment, the chapter hasn't got any new gear in quite some time... The blues are Scaly Green/Hawk Turquiose/Ice Blue or Shadow Grey with increasing amounts of Skull White added. Part of my problem with the hightlights is that I need to mix some midtones between my highlight color and the color I'm highlighting. While I have no trouble highlighting flesh, I'm still a little lost when it comes to where to slap the highlights on power armor. Shading has always been the hardest part of a composition to me. Typically, I water down my paints quite a bit, but, with my commander's helmet-- well... I wasn't really paying attention till the damage was done. And I'll be happy to post pics of a tank when I've painted one. :wub: I'm working on a write-up on the Chapter's History-- I'll be posting it in the DIY forum when I'm happy with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaptermaster13 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Like a lot!!!! made me think about not doing tau (don't kill me mods) for my next army and maybe doing some marines. i think the colours are underused and look great when done well on space marines! Great work, Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bra'tac Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 nice coloursheme, cant wait to hear the fluff.. still theres one thing on my mind, it just itches... I Saw Some MOLY MOLY MOLY MOLDLINES! get rid of em... -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The Moldliners eh? :lol: I really like your colour theme, it works really well. It's funny, because I think for some reason they look one notch better than what they should be when I look at the highlights which are a bit chunky. The colour scheme really works wonders. Good stuff. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkiraCho Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 fantastic, simply fantastic, altho im not a big fan of using grey knights as sergeants because it makes the rest of your squad look kinda simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
