Fleet Captain Mhotep Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i stole this guy off one of my friends he was either a Dark Angel or a Thousand Sons chosen but yeah i added should pads i found and jumped on the SM Painter and made a scheme it looks like this http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/death69_bucket/spacemarineCAEMKM8B.jpg here's a couple of angles on this guy... http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/death69_bucket/IMG_1905.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/death69_bucket/IMG_1906.jpg http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa117/death69_bucket/IMG_1907.jpg i tryed making his power weapon purplish but you cant really see unless i do a close up on the sword which i might a bit later, also what should i write on the scroll on his shoulder pad? C&C appreciated Mhotep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Disciple Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 First off congrats on a rather nice looking first marine. Bad news is now you have to do more of them. Sorry couldn't resist. The only critisism I have is that the white is a little uneaven. Its a really hard coulour to paint but dont get discouraged as your scheme looks great. The scroll though, thats a tough one. Since he's your first why not give him a name? Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleet Captain Mhotep Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 thanks, yeah i dont really know how to do white my tau and orks never used white, i've never done space marines and only know chaos fluff so i have no idea what to call him. does anyone know i good way to paint white? also that shoulderpad without a sword was just paint with a watered down coat so it doesnt look to great.

Kuchinawa Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 First off... WHY IS EVERYONE'S BUT MY FIRST MARINE LOOK AWESOME ok yelling aside your first marine is like 100 times better then my first. But here's a trick for white. Undercoat the model black Then a base coat of Adeptus Battle Grey then a slight coat of fortress grey then finally white. hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algavinn Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Paint looks pretty clean though I can't tell too much without a larger shot. I'm in love with the pose, I really should utilize the missle launcher arm more often, it has a lot of potential, as we can see. Show us more of your work when you get it done.

Fleet Captain Mhotep Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 thanks for the comments guys. hopefully your white recipe will come out better than mine on my next marine. yeah that conversion was fun using the missile launcher and the dark angels mace arms to make that. i might post up some more work soon.

captain_shrike Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thats good for a first marine. And I like the scheme. With white it can be really tempting to slap it on thickly to get it, which is obviously a bad idea. So make sure you follow that white recipe ^^ and thin the paint down, so you're not doing several layers of thick paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 All righty :teehee: build confidence by going through your very first marine! (coz like dark disciple sez: now you gotta do more of 'em, respect to our IG allies and other horde players :lol:) Seems next would be to hook yourself up to some of those new Citadel washes, or the famous magic wash :wub: So how do you plan on basing 'em?

Stargazer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Very nice have to agree with baal dropout though you should perhaps blackline it with badab black just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snackes Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Start out with Shadow Grey before you start painting pure White. Really helps getting a good coverage. The blue Bolter seems a little out of place. I think the blue is a bit too blue. :lol: I think it would look better if you made the blue a bit more gray/black.

Fleet Captain Mhotep Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 so shadow grey or space wolves grey for bolters? ok i'll try both see how they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
