Captain Malachi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Looking pretty good, that scar gives it an edge that's really cool, might have to steal that idea ;) For some reason in the first pic the helmet looks chubby :) Probably just the angle, nothing to do with your painting anyway.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Great work on the marines, the yellow has come out very well :) You should be able to finish your LPC vow with plenty of time to spare ;) Just a quick note with the images, although the board has auto-reduction software in place to resize images, you may still want to do some resizing of the images before you load them up since they are all averaging 1600 x 1200 pixels, and as a result may be slow to load for users that may still be using a 56K connection (or unfortunately got shaped to 56K).

Mal Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah I probally do need to reduce the image sizes, i'll see if I can get that done tomorrow when I get home.... in the mean time heres another update: I have started the squad commander, fairly standard loadout, plasma pistol and power sword, I decided for giggles to give him a banner pole too, which is something I rarely ever do. Well let me know what you think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Theyre looking great! and inspired me to sign up too ;) Really clean job and a good yellow tone from the shading makes them less glary than others i've seen, battle damage also helps break up the yellow which sometimes you really need. The banner pole looks cool and works with your sgt's pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 Ok more work done on the capt, 8 more to go... one will be armed with a flamer as I have run out of plasma and melta gun bits.... For the other 7 guys, what would you all like to see... but please remember im making these from salvaged bits so some thing I may not be able to do. So, suggestions please.

Captain Malachi Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 How about one of them kneeling down taking aim, maybe with a sight on his bolter? Probably won't be the easiest thing in the world to do, as it would likely require a head and leg swap, but it would look cool :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I think I may be able to salvage a pair of the kneeling legs from one of my armies. It'll require arm adjustments to make the marine able to take sight down a scope tho, their arms are not in the right positions for that... i'll see what I can do... Any others?

Mal Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ok i've come up with the last 2, one is holding an auspex with the arm converted to hold it in a half decent pose, and the other is carrying a flamer... the serg is also very nearly finished now, pics to follow soon.

Mal Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Eep, I think my thread is dieing.... not to worry! I have more updates!! Ok, the Serg is coming along nicely, im espically proud of his head, I still need to do the bannerpols and top and pit lightning effects on his powersword, but hes very nearly finished now. I also have Malachi's idea for a kneeling marine aiming with his boltgun done, all he needs is transfers and basing. And of course I have yet more! The 4th marine is a guy scanning with an auspex, the arm repositioning on this guy was a pain, he will be holding a boltgun in his other hand.

Solid Smurf Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You sir know how to paint yellow. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Ok, nearly finished!!! Heh, I think I had best add another 5 marines to my vow.... Well I made a few modifications, the kneeling marine aiming along his bolter now has an extended barrel and a gun stand, and marine with the auspex now has a head and a boltgun and the last marine is also built and painted, hes armed with a flamer. I'm just putting decals on and painting and flocking the bases then I'll get sonme new pics posted, I think i'll edit the first post to have the full team displayed. Hopefully I will have them all finished off and flocked by the end of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
