Hello

 

Have decided to wipe the dust off my Silver Skulls Space Marine army & what better motivation than to join the E Tenbrae Lux

 

So heres my oath

 

“I daismith906 answer the challenge of the Unforgiven and vow to complete:

 

x1 "Counts As" Lysander - Completed

x10 Tactical Terminators (x2 Cyclone Missile Launcher & x2 Chainfist) (x5 Completed)

x2 Assault Bikes with Multi-meltas - Completed

x1 Librarian - Completed

x1 Chaplain in Terminator Armour - Completed

And a few pics of my exsisting army

The metal colour you have here is gorgeous. i love the look of the captain and company champion. Great looking army so far and your planned additions are looking good as well. Will be keeping a close eye on this thread.

I'm loving these minis!

 

Great paint job and the skull helmets for the characters are excellent.

If i was to make one suggestion it would be to add a bit of mithril for a highlight.

 

Really great work. Looking forward to seeing the Librarian painted!

Cheers for the kind words.

 

The helmets/skulls are actually painted in mithril silver, camera has faded it out slightly.

 

Managed to put together the two attack bikes this afternoon so hoping to get everything primed tomorrow!

 

Cheers

Great painting and inspiring use of parts! You have quite an imagination. As others have said, the use of chaplain and LOTD models is really good. I particularly like the captain, company champion and TDA librarian.

Subscribing to this one!

I think you quoted the wrong Silver Skull there :D

 

That Librarian is awesome to the max though. Most of the conversions here are, and I especially like various skull helm featured throughout the force :tu:

Liking everything so far :D

 

About the Riflemen Dreads' arms.... are they conversions? Or can you get them as a kit, as I haven't seen many online and GW don't seem to sell them.

 

I only ask as I'd love to do a Rifleman Dread myself and they look awesome B)

Managed to finish my StormTalon this weekend

 

Had a slight accident involving plastic glue whilst sticking it on :P which was only just usable so had to paint it to hide the damaged

 

I dont like it but it was either paint it or leave it looking :tu: so i expect flaming :( !

test it on something you dont need first but if you gloss the absolute living piss out of the canopy windows you could in theory get a privacy glass kinda vibe going with it.

Which panel exactly got smudged on the canopy? You can always paint strip some of the panels so the pilot is visible, and then paint up some vibrant targetting arrays and HUD images (think the helmet hud from Iron Man movies) and really go to town and make the most of the situation.

It was pretty much spread across the whole canopy lol!

 

Might try the gloss idea though

 

Cheers
