Keyoz Devastrius Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My inspiration for my entire mk8 Star Lords 2nd Company comes from this image from a French GW HQ staff member. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/mk8.jpg Actually Its not MK8 - the inspiration behind this model is a picture in Imperial fists IA and the marine is described as Pre-Heresy Imperial Fist in Crusade Armour, and Crusade Armour is the name of MK2 power armour. http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/5404/crusadearmourov2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulse Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Actually Its not MK8 - the inspiration behind this model is a picture in Imperial fists IA and the marine is described as Pre-Heresy Imperial Fist in Crusade Armour, and Crusade Armour is the name of MK2 power armour.http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/5404/crusadearmourov2.jpg The armour in the Imperial Fists IA is infact mk8 armour or "Errant" armour. They made a mistake with the armour, its just the armour is of a different varient of mk8 in the picture. Pulse didn't paint that. Heru is right i didnt paint the model, i said the model was my inspiration for the work i am doing. That picture was on the french gw site for quite a while and i just saved it and used it as a guide. :lol: Also got all the casting finished for the first full batch yesterday, so i will be posting that up as well a bit later on today. :) Edited October 30, 2008 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagsta Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 looks legit! what heads will you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) I am not 100% sure on what helmet i will be using yet, but i think i will use either a standard mk7 helmet and file off the piping or i will convert a company champion helmet to keep it in line with the mk8 armour, but i want it to look as the helmet does in the picture of the painted mini. :D Edited October 30, 2008 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Ultio Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 by the looks of it, it's a helmet that has side vents instead of tubing, I'm sure there's one helmet that has one side with the vents... just remove the other tubes and scratch the vents in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted October 30, 2008 Author Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yep thats the look i am going for. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 @AlphaPHP: A couple of the AoBR marines have mk4 legs, it might be worth looking into. @Pulse: These are amazing mate. I'd love to have an army that looks like what this'll end up as. I don't think I saw it but is there a colour scheme for these guys?

I don't think I saw it but is there a colour scheme for these guys? Yeh matey my Star Lords will look like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/PulsesSergeant.jpg Helmet colours: Veteran Sergeants - Red with a white stripe Sergeants - White with a red stripe Tactical - Full white helmet As for Devastators and Assault i am not sure yet. :D Any more info on the Star Lords check out the link in my sig, that will lead you to the Star Lords IA, its still a WIP just now but will be added to shortly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Nice to see awsome models get an awsome scheme! Devastators could have their hands have a red stripe down the middle, and assault could have special packs just to be fair :wallbash: Edited October 30, 2008 by Midas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 really do like the legs and torso's you have made, and i would welcome a tut on how you did the casting too. or pm me if you cant post it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leethal Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Nice casts Pulse. Yes nice indeed. Saaaay....wanna send me 1 Marine to fiddle around with? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devastators could have their hands have a red stripe down the middle, and assault could have special packs just to be fair :D Aye matey i am very pleased with the colour scheme, equally as standoutish and bright as the Imperial Fists, and still retains the black sections of armour and the oringal helmet colours. I wanted to keep my Star Lords in theme with the Imperial Fists as the IF are the progenitors of my Star Lords. :) really do like the legs and torso's you have made, and i would welcome a tut on how you did the casting too. I am glad you like the work matey its great to hear all of these comments as it pushes me on to complete the work. :P Nice casts Pulse. Yes nice indeed. Saaaay....wanna send me 1 Marine to fiddle around with? :) Erm.. i'll pass on that for the time being, need all the marines just now. ;) ---- And now a quick update, this is what i have cast so far so i took a pic to show it all. :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/Pulsey/everythingcast.jpg Few more to go yet to make my total of 160 marines. ;) Edited October 30, 2008 by Pulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) Wowzers! And I mean Wowzers! Your casting looks like the work done by MDC (Model Design Construction). I have their resin 1/32 Ar-234 model and it is a beauty. This will a truly awesome army when you get it done. edit: typo Edited November 4, 2008 by Thunder_god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scolar Visari Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Pulse those are the best infantry I have seen in a long while, very inspirational! I did try and emulate the shoulderpads with lines scored into them by filling in a shoulderpad with GS. I couldn't manage to get the lines looking how I wanted and struggled to find a way to secure the pad so my fingers didn't spoil the GS, so a tutorial would be most appreciated ;) Keep up the great work! P.S Go on Hamilton! Bring glory for England :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 I will make a tutorial as soon as possible matey, i promise. ;) Yeh i think Hamilton will take the title although it's probably going to be a tough race. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
