aretziel Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 after a long time of waiting, a few e-mails that got lost, I got my order at last. black templar order 1x space marine tactical squad 1x space marine devestator squad 2x space marine scouts 1x black templars battleforce 2x black templars space marine assault squad 1x black templars space marine chapter upgrade 2x space marine dreadnought 3x space marine land speeder tornado 1x space marine bike squadron 2x space marine attack bike 2x space marine terminator close combat squad 1x space marine terminator squad 1x space marine land raider 1x space marine land raider crusader 1x black templars space marine rhino 1x space marine terminator chaplain 1x space marine chaplain 1x black templar storm shields [content 5] 1x black templar brass etched icons 1x black templar terminator shoulder pads 1x black templar land raider door [set 2] + varius bitz of books and stuff first thing I did was to open all the troop boxes. removing legs and chest and heads from the sprue. I usualy want to paint these first and arms later ... I took a few days to remove lines, flash and other things that needed fixing. I count them around 35 pair of legs. next up I primed the legs, heads and chestpieces ... and went for a testpaint on a few faces ... I tried to get them to look as an old head I painted when I was ill back in -05 or -04. marine face from -04 or -05 my hope is that after painting a few faces I would get back some feel on painting. -- update 2006 June 23 03:11 (03:11PM) -- there, been doing some painting and I picked three heads and tried to get a pic on them. and I must say that this camera I got isn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtrAxX Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 From the millions of boxes you showed me to this? Great work my friend! I suggest you keep the model at this stage, but do a bit of touchups on the little outlines of the armour. But besides that its golden Now paint more!

Sian Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I just got a quick question for you all ... what color on the backpack? black? white? or bone as the rest? ideas or suggestions? I dissgarded the split scheme idea ... SOME bone on the backpack. Perhaps just the armored cover, with a dirty boltgun (brown it a little) color for the rest. I think that would fit in well. Looking good! Massive amount of work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been painting black joints and the first thinned layer of kommando khaki on 15 of the marines ... got 1 more thinned basecolor layer left and the 'downlights' in the cracks etc. ... before the 'real' panting starts =) hehe ... but your idea on the backpack seems good =) will do a test tomorrow I think to see how it looks =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 I would keep the scheme as is and experiment with adding black here and there. It is looking really good so far :) like: - Tabards and shoulder pads (bone rims) with white, ivory or deep red crosses Cheers -t14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
