Nafi Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 While I'm a bit new to the modeling world here's hoping I can get a few pointers on my models My first painted model: http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2850/1001710y.jpg I colored him using the viva metallica method to get a metallic green and experimented a bit to try and make a metallic black (not so sure that worked out well though) Also any ideas on how to make my Boarding Marine look all golden and champion like while still keeping the metallic green and black color scheme? http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg34/scaled.php?server=34&filename=1001719fz.jpg&res=medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_prophet Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 The easiest way to create a champion scheme would be to maintain the green/black scheme on the appropriate armour segments, but up the gold to the shoulder trim and extra details as well. Champions tend to get artificer crafted armour, which always feature more precious metals, etc. My two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafi Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Here's the work I've done on my Boarding Marine Front: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg97/scaled.php?server=97&filename=1001730uo.jpg&res=medium Side: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg31/scaled.php?server=31&filename=1001732qv.jpg&res=medium Back: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg805/scaled.php?server=805&filename=1001734.jpg&res=medium Any suggestions on what color I should make the helmet plume on this guy?

Octavulg Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I like him. For a helmet plume, I'd recommend red, black or white. Or striped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafi Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 My Boarding Marine is now done I ended up going with a black plume on this sucker http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/249736_2151800312606_1174331157_2700089_2368682_n.jpg http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/247245_2151800792618_1174331157_2700091_2439150_n.jpg the shield was a pain in the ass to paint not because it was hard but because the paint didn't seem to want to stick to in very well http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/260553_2151801072625_1174331157_2700092_3380693_n.jpg Now to finish up the rest of the company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thade Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I like the champ; looks vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafi Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 I like the champ; looks vintage. That's most likely due to the fact that he's wearing my favorite armor mark the mkIII Iron Armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroganoff Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 That's the Forgeworld model isn't it? If so it might still have the release agent on the surface of the resin which will stop paint from sticking to it. I found this out the hard way, too :tu: Just make sure you wash the parts thoroughly before painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this out the hard way, too B) Just make sure you wash the parts thoroughly before painting. Yeah it was and I don't think I washed the shield like I did the model itself so that's probably what the issue was anyhow, I jut got done prepping my Tac and Assault squads for painting http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/8492/1001748t.jpg http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2065/1001749xv.jpg http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/1168/1001750v.jpg and my 2 Sargents http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/8669/1001752o.jpg http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1163/1001758n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Nice dynamic poses and a good colour scheme to work with. Have you chosen a symbol for them? One of the tactical marines (3 pic down, centre right) looks like his left arm's a little misplaced. It might be the angle of the picture though. Looking forward to more brother!

Cambrius I'm planning on making my Chapter symbol a gauntlet clutching a book Yeah that marine had a misplaced shoulder pad which has since been fixed Also I give you Assault Sargent Scheidell http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/7111/1001816p.jpg and for those of you wondering why his arm and shield are Red and Green is I'm planning on making heraldry shields for all my marines and painting their left arms the colors of their heraldry http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/73/scheidel.jpg His heraldry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Intersting concept with the heraldry, looks like you've set yourself a challenge in freehanding with regards to the symbol and shield heraldry. I look forward to seeing how you do it Nafi. <_< Glad to hear the marine's arm/shoulder's been fixed too. Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafi Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 It's been awhile since my last post and I figured I should at least post an update: I recently won a Space Marine lot which provided me with quite a lot of marines(albeit need some work) and four more dreadnoughts: http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/8577/1001817q.jpg I finished painting up my first tac squad and extra sargent (note: they still have black arms cause I've yet to look up heraldry's for them): http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/2323/1001842r.jpg Some marines I'll be converting into a Sternguard squad: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/361/1001841w.jpg And then there's this dude(who an early test for things to come): http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/4649/1001858y.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nafi Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Dreadnoughts are really fun to paint http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/1676/1001884m.jpg http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/1395/1001885ru.jpg http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/9595/1001886a.jpg http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5628/1001887r.jpg And some pics of the Sternguard conversions I'm working on http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/7962/1001924z.jpg http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/2606/1001913d.jpg http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2572/1001919i.jpg http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/4240/1001926z.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2341/1001935j.jpg http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/3551/1001939kz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
