Typical Cricket Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 So here's my first WIP of my first Marine. My Attack Bike: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1819.jpg I painted the metal first: Tin BitzBoltgun MetalBadab Black washChainmailMithril Silver I'm going to add some more details later, like soot around the exaust etc. Here's how I painted the Marines and the bike itself: Chaos Black PrimerAdeptus Battlegrey basecoatBadab Black washCodex Grey And that's where I'm at right now. Next up is a layer of Fortress Grey and a final coat of Skull White before I start detailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Painting white... good luck! So far these models look smooth, but I wonder how much that will change with the advent of white paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 i agree nice and smooth so far, keep it up for the dreaded white :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks for the feedback, guys! I did a little bit more work between classes today. Here's the result: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1820.jpg It's kinda ugly, I know, but keep in mind that this is the first Marine I've ever painted. The White is also far from perfect, and the transfer is lifting something terrible, but I'm still kinda proud of it so far. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Haha you should just stick him on some assault marine legs and he would make a PERFECT zombie!!! I'm serious! Â Dude you did a great job on the white though. Â The white isn't ugly; it looks nice. A kind of 'dirty' white. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostbit3 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Looks good man. I bet you could freehand the chapter symbol without it taking too long. ...It's mostly straight lines. I'd say at least try it on an extra shoulderpad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thanks for the replies, guys! @verpine: Thanks, man! I actually think he looks like he wants a hug in the latest pictures. :P @Frostbit3: Thanks, but I'm not even going to try. As you can see, my painting is a little... unrefined, to put it gently. I'll invest in some MicroSol if the problem persists. Anyways, here's an update: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1821.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCoins Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 You can get a quick, well shaded white if you start with a Astonimicon Grey (I'm assuming you're using GW paints) and then slowly add white to Codex grey and "WetDryBrush" it on. It'll look different then the one you have, which *does* look good, don't get me wrong, but if you use either Asurmen Blue or Badab black to cut the colour, it'll shade fairly easily.

Terminatorinhell Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 do not mess with the model it is going along fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 @InsertCoins: I actually did use a little bit of Badab Black before I started layering the Codex and Fortress greys. I thought about Astronomican (sp?), but it looked a little too blue for me.. Maybe I'll give it a try nontheless though. :) Â @Ternimatorinhell: Thanks, brah! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyalty of Darkness Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The slight blueish tint makes for a very bright, cold white. It works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical Cricket Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Update: The bike itself is done. I just have a little bit of work to do on the sidecar and I'm done! http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1825.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1826.jpg I would also like to obtain a suitable base for it. My new plan is to buy a 60mm round base and two cavalry bases and then do some Frankenstein work with some plasticard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulochromis Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 nice paintjob, but ... the red eyes don't look right (to me). I'd try green or ice blue. Â Cheers, Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 @Lastman: Thanks! That'll sure come in handy! @Paulochromis: Thanks, but I'm keeping them red. Anyways, here's the finished product (actually, I still have to do the backpack) http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1835.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1836.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Looks spectacular. Very crisp lines and colors. Kudos to you on drilling the exhausts on the bike, too. I'm lazy and never bother with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks man! Here's a preview of my next project: http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1833.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Sorry for the double post, but here's what I've been working on -- Assault Marines! http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1840.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well, I hate to triple post, but I think I should update. Here's my Assault Sergeant with his helmet and shoulder pad done. http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1843.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q64/a-rodriguez/Warhammer/DSCN1844.jpg The pictures are really bad because I had too much light on him. Some of the washes were still drying, so I put him under my desk lamp in the hopes that that would speed up the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlOoD_GoD Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 lol, double and triple post. Your models look great, i really like the white armour, since im not that good at painting white. You make me want to start collecting my new army immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typical Cricket Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Heh. Well if other people would add a comment, I wouldn't have to double and triple post! ;) Anyways, expect another shot by the end of tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
