Thantoes Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 For the LPC 2010 I have commited myself to doing 9 tactical marines and a dreadnought. Here is my work thus far 2nd day of challange. Base coat down on 5 of the 9 marines as well as some detailing. 1 torso has recieved highlighting. AOBR has gaps filled in and bling attached First weekend of challenge. First 5 marines complete. Other 4 have basecoat and some detailing done. Dreadnought has been fully undercoated and the legs are complete. I have turned the completed marines around so I can present them in all thier glory once the whole squad is done. Currently: No pics but the whole squad is done. I just need to finish off the bases. Dreadnought torso is 100% done. Dread weapons are done, just need highlighting. Base of dread made. Just needs to be painted. Since I have finished these up so quickly I have extended my oath to now include Sicarius, 2 Termies minimum and 5 scouts if the paint strips off them nicely.

Freakiq Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Looking good so far, I really like the bold highlights. We Ultramarines seem to be off to good start, many painting logs are making good progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6Veteran Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Looking great brother! The high contrast highlights are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 Here is my test scout. I am going for a more "night ops" version than the classic GW colour scheme. These guys are meant to be infiltrators and general all round sneaky puffadders and I cant see them doing that in bone fatigues and blue body armour. That being said, this is a test mini so all comments and critiques are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I really like that Scout scheme. Enough blue to be recognizable as Ultramarines, yet enough dark colors to make them fitting infiltrators. Only thing I'd change is taking the red off the rifle barrel. Kinda goes in the opposite direction to spec-ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 My origional plan was to have no blue on them at all but rather all black with the Ultra symbol outlined in a gray colour. Unfortunatly most of them have covered shoulder pads so that didnt work. The red silencer is part of the theme that pulls my army together. All (well all that can) of my units have red on thier weapons. This just seemed to be the best place to put it ^_^ I will paint the next one with a black silencer and compare. Maybe find another spot for the red. I also think I am going to change thier pouch colour to a dark grey as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 the scout looks good, but after painting a million of the little buggars i can share some pointers: the black could do with some bigger highlights (cloak and pants, the rifle looks great). i drybrushed a dark gey over these areas and it was a good effect. small details make all the difference, scouts arent great sculpts, so things like leg straps being picked out helps. i panit mine brown to match the holsters. the muzzle needs to be a different colour IMO, a small highlight or drybrush boltgun metal perhaps? Tual does his with the same camo as the cloaks which looks great. Sorry if that sounds too critical, its a great mini regardless of the above ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 You cant really tell from these but straps etc are picked out and painted. I am trying to move away from dry brushing as well. I am starting to see the point about the muzzle brake so I think I will change that tonight to a black or dark metallic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Very nice and vibrant colouring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 I noticed that I havent updated this in a bit so 2 quick pics of what I have done so far. Scouts in thier "covert op" uniform And Captain Sicarius Only my terminators to finish and I will be done with the LPC. I will put up proper images of the above units when I finish everything up.

Monstra Sumus Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Haha, I love the look Sicarius has on his face. It looks like one of his 'eyebrows' are raised and he's slowly drawing his plasma pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sic-boy is a sweet mini and great paint job, as i usually expect from you T. As for the scouts, when i saw your test mini a while back i wasnt sold on it, but these look fantastic, seeing the dull 'metallic' effect on the chest eagles and the highlighting has won me around great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogan Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Waaait... What's that strange feeling in my chest...? Oh! Yes! I must be in love... in love with the inverted Omega! Yes! ... No... doesn't fit. It is... it is ENVY! I hate you for having had an idea how to use those cool sanguinary guard chest plates without looking out of place! ... ENVY! *grumble* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 New year, new LPC. My commitment for 2011 is far smaller than previous years. My life is hectic as all hell. Anyways, I am doing a 5 man squad of devestators i.e. a sergeant and 4 heavy weapons. Here is my first WIP update. Torsos built and based. Weapons built and ready to be painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Nice army so far - could we get a few shots from those guys turning their backs on us? From what I can see, these are the most outstanding miniatures of the squad. Your gold looks very good, and while your darklining appears a little rough, it still does the trick. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 2nd Update: Torsos painted now. Just to do the Heavy weapons, heads, back packs and shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
