Thantoes Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Here then are the 9 models that make up my sternguard. The LPC only required 7 but what the hell, the more the merrier. There is also a 10th guy to be finished and I will add him later. I was a little miffed as I was going through these photos as it seems there are a few filiments of flock on some of the figures. However since I had already put all my photography stuff away and since its not much I have decided to leave it in the pics. Anyways, on with the pics.

son of nocturne Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Congrats on compleeting your vow bud, brilliant looking squad. S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Those are some nice Marines. I like the highlights, they are sharp but not too sharp. The Sergeant is pretty cool, the white powerfist works really well. Well done on your vow. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 The look really good. How did you make the combi-flamer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 I used Rindaris's tutorial for the combi-flamer body and stole Marius Perdo's idea to use a termi storm bolter mag. It came out really nicely I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kek Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well done for completing these great maarines they turned out brill hope to see more of their like in the future ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ompfris Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Wow I like them - Really good I love the MK8 marine, to me he looks a bit like 'bored at work' - I just see him saying "there's one" <BANG> "there's one" <BANG> Really liking the Sargeants helmet too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 I just hope that they come out with a decent plastic combi-flamer at some stage. The one I made looks good but its VERY bulky, especially with the box magazine. The scope also doesnt help with the size but it does look much better with it than without it. I also cant stand the hanging scroll cases on his arm. However, since its a thin resin shoulder pad and it was stuck on there very strongly I didnt want to risk breaking it off after I decided I didnt like it. So there it will stay.

lmyrick Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Very very nice Sternguard. I will be looking closely at these as I paint mine up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Gah, was hoping to have the heavy flamer marine finished by now but I am just lacking the time. Should be done this weekend at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hmmm, double post but seperated by a few days so not so bad. As promised, here are pics of the last member of my squad. The heavy flamer dude. (Thanks to angryjohnny for his tutorial on doing this) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3406/3241767496_ea5156e788_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3262/3240934411_2ccf9a994f_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The Mk8 Veteran is the most impressive, IMO, but they all look good to me. There's just something about your highlighting that really sets them off... Care to share the method with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherAtrox Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I'd like to see this heavy flamer tutorial. Good looking minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 @Thantoes I like your Sternguard. They are very well done. I especially like the quartered helmet and white power fist on the sergeant. Oh, and the Heavy Flamer too. @BrotherAtrox The Heavy Flamer is a Multi-Melta that has been fitted with the Heavy Flamer Nozzle from the Terminator Heavy Flamer.

There's just something about your highlighting that really sets them off... Care to share the method with us? Its nothing special. I paint the armour with enchanted blue. I then use broad highlights on the armour plates with a mixture of enchanted blue and white. What the exact proportions are I dont know as I poured the blue and white into an empty pot till it looked right. Then comes the sharp edge highlight of SW grey. The guns are done with a base of mecharite red with a broad highlight of blood red. Thats all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Sounds too easy :P I really like the blue, though... Mind if I steal the recipe for future use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
