AngryJohnny Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Here is my first WIP update since making a vow to complete 5 Tactical Marines for the Librarium Painting Challenge. Once finished these marines will finish my first 10 Man Tactical Squad. They aren't glued at the moment (for the most part) they're just pinned. I would love to hear your comments and suggestions for them before I get too far along in the process. "I, AngryJohnny, vow on the honor of my Chapter to paint and present at least 5 Tactical Marines (for my DIY The Priory of Dorn) to finish my 1st 10 man Tactical Squad on or before the 28th of February, 2009. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, preferably with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with an article and wear the Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done."

Captain Malachi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I quite like the lascannon guy, actually looks like he's aiming at something, the standing ones tend to look a little goofy. I'll say more when they some paint on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Malachi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Just standing lascannon marines, the rest of the marines look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I've started painting up my Tactical Marines for the LPC. Here they are after they're initial base coat. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_001-2.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_002-2.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_003-2.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_004-2.jpg What do you all think so far?

Mal Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Im not sure if I like that green... it looks like they have been walking through a sewer..., but that aside, the paint work is pretty clean, you could do with another coat or two of the green as its a tad patchy. But its a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 OK, I've got another update. I've added about 3 more thin layers of the green & now most of the patchiness is gone. I think they may need 1 - 2 more thin layers. Then I can start picking out some of the detail. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_001-3.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_002-3.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_003-3.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/PoD_WIP_Tactical_Squad_004-3.jpg Let me know what you think!

Mal Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Much better, thats camo green isn't it? If so, then you'll probally want to see if you can get your hands on some of the old dark green ink as that works great for picking out details on camo green.

AngryJohnny Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 The green is actually Testors Model Master Dark Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
