Shotbreak Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 "I, Shotbreak of the Liber Astartes, vow on the honour of my Chapter to paint and present at least ONE COMBAT SQUAD OF STERNGUARD VETERANS WITH AN ACCOMPANYING CAPTAIN OF MY ECLIPSE TEMPLARS on or before the 31st of March, 2011. I promise to provide at least two WIP updates, with pictures, in that time. I vow that if I should fail, I will provide the Librarium with a hopefully awesome article of my DIY chapter and wear the Signature of Shame until my penitence period is done." So this was my vow, fashionably posted first :) So I guess it's time to start my topic by posting pics of my Sternguard WIP. They pretty much just have the undercoat put on and I'll be starting on the basecoat tomorrow and post up some more after that stage. http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P1300003.jpg http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P1300002.jpg And to prove they're mine.... http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P1300001.jpg Haven't gotten started on my Chapter Master yet since I don't have the necessary parts (first conversion).

Shotbreak Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 UPDATE: Got some better pics to replace the others ones ;) So here's my first(and a half) update, took a little longer than expected ^_^ but here is the first Sternguard, almost complete, and ready for C&C ;) http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P2010003-1.jpg Another angle http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P2010002-1.jpg this is the only "good" side since the other side of the helmet came in looking like the Nurgle half of Two-Face :( http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P2010001.jpg Suggestions welcome if there's something that needs changing (The Combi-Melta's getting a red casing, haven't bothered to do it yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonidus Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 hey dude your lighting mean that we can't actually see the detail or the "true" colours of your marine. From what I can see though he's looking rather fly ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicced Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 nice models, but your paint looks a little thick to me. it gives some parts of the model a poriferous look (first marines helmet f.e.). i'd recommend to thin your paint before applying it to the models.

Shotbreak Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 It's actually the undercoat that's causing the poriferous look, forgot to clean the models before I sprayed or it might be that I sprayed them lackluster but it's biting me in the :P: now, gonna be careful for my Chapter Master since I haven't started on him other than putting him together.

Plenty of time :D So here are 2 more marines to add to the fold http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P3210001.jpg http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P3210002.jpg and the one I completed awhile ago but never got to posting him :P http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P3210001-1.jpg http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P3210002-1.jpg one green eye and one purple ;) just felt like making him "unique" AND the first group shot containing the finished guys http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P3210001-2.jpg http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P3210002-2.jpg Hope you all enjoy and C&C welcome as always :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotbreak Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 So here's another update, didn't make the quota for the LPC but I'll at least finish :P Sternguard #5 COMPLETE! about two days after the deadline so not too bad. http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P4200002.jpg and my chapter master WIP http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j389/Shotbreak/P4200001.jpg let's get some more comments people!!!

FatMan Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Nice job, I really enjoy the color scheme, but the Orange is a litte blotchie and your primer seems to chalk, a lot. The metal is the one that needs the most work, try hitting it with Badab or Devlin, or even paint it with Boltgun metal instead of chainmail (which this looks like but correct me if I'm wrong). Other than that, very nicely done and interesting paint scheme! Laters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriptor Tharxes Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Your painting Style is nice and the color scheme too but try to use less primer or shake it a bit more before start spraying. And thin down your paints, then you'll really get very nice marines there. Nice Orange on black primer is harder job then thin Orange and black paint on white primer. You should try this way too.

Olis Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Loving the chapter master, dude, however he doesn't seem very... ornate. Maybe it's just me... :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotbreak Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 @FatMan: My primer skills are a bit mediocre atm but I'm hoping I'll get over that obstacle with my next project. the metal parts are a bit bright but it isn't just chainmail, pretty much the boltgun, chainmail, mithril routine,but I will use some badab to fix it up a notch, maybe hold off on the mithril silver next time. @Scriptor Tharxes: I will try out the white primer idea, it'll probably make the orange more "uniform" and won't let the black seem likes it's trying to hide underneath in a fail kind of way :P @Olisredan: It's not just you, I noticed that after I got started on him. I got some bitz lying around from a commander kit I got and hopefully there's something in there I haven't noticed that will really amp him up. Thanks for the tips and comments guys :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
