Grey_Death Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Starting the first in my Desert Support Squad marines. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/2/18/20265_sm-Heavy%20Bolter,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG These should be a cool fun break :).

Cry Havok Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Wow, those look superb, probably fairly easy too. Why'd I do dark marines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey_Death Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 More progress: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/2/19/20342_sm-Heavy%20Bolter,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG One more stage of highlight I think and maybe a little bit of orange/brown wash for some color variation. Then camo striping goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey_Death Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 More Progress, sorry for the pic quality, but it's not too shabby for a phone! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/2/19/20484_sm-Heavy%20Bolter,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.jpg Better photos, hopefully finished photos sometime tomorrow!

Grey_Death Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 My first Desert Support Marine is finished! http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/2/20/20587_sm-Heavy%20Bolter,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.jpg All except chapter marking of course, but that's not happening until the very end I suspect. This was a very nice break from the green, and I'm very happy with the final product. It does take a while to get the colors where I want them, but the effort is worth it. Plus, I only NEED to do 5 of these guys. I suspect a few more than that will end up in this scheme now though >.>.... And a quick comparison shot: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/2/20/20588_sm-Heavy%20Bolter,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.jpg You can see the tie ins very easily. The weapon colors are identical, and the black shoulder pad rim and chest eagles. Basing is the same as well. A more subtle tie in is the battle damage. They are both done with the exact same colors, Catachan Green for the initial damage marking and bleached bone to highlight. Hope to do more SoMs this fast in the future.

bluewolf74727 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 looking good keep it up you got fluff for the chapter sorted yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I like them, I've always loved anything to do with the Badab War. I'm looking forward to seeing these guys finished. Also, why does the green marine in the last pic on have one black shoulder rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5nivF Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 awesome looking army you got started there grey_ :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey_Death Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Ferrus - The single black trim was simply because of the molded tactical symbol of the AoBR marines :). I ended up making it a neat little detail that I kept as a part of the armies colors! ++++++++ Just a quick update on the current progress: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/3/29/24994_sm-Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG Working out my method for batch painting them. I think it's coming along well so far ^_^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey_Death Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 They're finally finished (Chapter badges will be applied/painted all at once): http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/3/31/25414_sm-Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Tactical,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/3/31/25416_sm-Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/3/31/25417_sm-Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/3/31/25415_sm-Multimelta,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2009/3/31/25418_sm-Multimelta,%20Sons%20Of%20Medusa,%20Space%20Marines,%20Warhammer%2040,000.JPG Click the images to go to the gallery page for a fully zoomable image! I'm really happy with how quickly this group came together. I painted 5 from the start and added an additional that was a WIP from before to the mix and had no issues with the extra workload. I think this method will go even faster once I get even more marines finished this way. I'll be starting another batch this week. I'm really excited to get working on them!

Khrangar Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 That'a really nice looking unit. I especially like the black and the tactical markings, specifically on the multi-melta marine. Khrangar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son of nocturne Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I have to say G_D your models are brilliant! The colours are very striking and i really like the camo heavy bolter marine certainly stand out from the other marines! I like the tie ins on the armour and the battle damage as well, cant wait to see more of these guys! S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Brotherhood Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 These SOMs are looking great. So envious of all of you texans that get to play in the Badab BOLS campaign. I wanna play! The Desert Support Squad scheme looks excellent, one of the most successful camo schemes I've ever seen on a marine. Keep it up and I will be watching this with interest.
