Morticon Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Matey, ive split your non BA stuff off into a separate thread in the Painting forum. Please keep this thread to BA related stuff. Thank ye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I love the stance of the flamer marine. He looks awesome. Did you just cut the one leg off to reposition it or cut the whole thing into pieces to get it done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's really easy to do vharing, just take a assault marine pair of legs and cut the bent leg at the hip and reposition it how ever you want. You might need a little green stuff to fill in the gap. The hole is usually underneath so you don't have to be particularly good with green stuff to get it looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Here is a sneak peak of my new Vanguard assault squad. This will be the Veteran Sergeant, the rest of the squad will have the same shoulder pads and helmets but a different chest. What do you think ? Suitably 300 enough ?

fivepointedstar Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 nice work on your BA's. On the VV (300) guy I'm not seeing spartan really might be better with a sword instead. I might add to say the old school SW sword would look more "Greek- like". Plus game wise if your SS fails your loosing a TH as well. Better to allocate across the squad with different rolls. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zynk Kaladin Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Wow, everything looks awesome so far! How'd you do the aquillas on your honor guard's jump packs? It is a really nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 You can get the Aquila jump packs of the forge world red scorpion assault squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorre Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 For my LPC I have promised to paint 1 Librarian a 10man Assault squad and 6 man Vanguard Veteran squad.... With Star wars MMO Old Republic out it is not going so well!!! Anyway here is my first LPC update Librarian Base coated and with some minor highlighting And the 10 man assault squad I am still waiting on some bitz to arrive before I finish putting together the vanguard so pics will be a little while Also for anyone who has been following my normal WIP thread I finnaly finished painting my new gaming board! I don't think its the right colour to represent the Blood Angels home world, but for now I will pretend its a important outpost world under there control! A pilgramage to the emperor! I have plans to expand the terrain a little bit, some more area terrain would be nice maybe a little poluted swamp or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Your Army is coming along beautifully! Nice battlefield too. A bit too grey for my liking, but i can't say anything mine is all just desert colour hahahah. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Finally finish my Librarian for the 2012 LPC. Just gotta finish the assault squad and vanguard veterans and im done! Would love some feed back on this guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 A very nice piece. The subtle highlights look good(although they are a bit too subtle for my likings :) ) and the blended white on the hand came off great! Nice choice for the force weapon, if it wasn't for the price and a now redundant libby, I'd already have bought the kit. Â The OSL on the base looks realistic, well done! Â The only things I'd change are the highlights on the armour, the OSL on the lenses and the highlights on the loincloth. It may be due to the picture, but I feel it's kinda bland especially on the foldings of the cloth. Â That's it from me, again a very nice Librarian there mate! :lol: Good luck with the rest of your vow, the '300'-style marines look good!

Firepower Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Loving the job you did on the wings and lava. But like Snorri said, the blue is kinda bland by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, I agree with you on the blue I am not entirely happy with it myself. I tried a lot of new techniques on this model and overall I am happy with it, but there is alot of room for improvement :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, I agree with you on the blue I am not entirely happy with it myself. I tried a lot of new techniques on this model and overall I am happy with it, but there is alot of room for improvement :sweat: Â A tip, if you don't mind: Â I'd try to use a very dark blue or perhaps black to shade the current blue down, especially in the recesses. They lack definition and don't seperate the armour sections from each other. So basically it is similar to blacklining, but not as harsh and generally more subtle. Then, you can shade the lower parts of the armour sections with a mix of Chaos Black and Enchanted Blue and add edge highlights after that for some nice definition. But that's only one possibility. :lol: Â Â Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Thanks for the advice snorri you are spot on with all your comments. I'm not sure I want to go over the blue again as the model is finished and varnished and I'm not sure I can touch it up without making a mess. Â The eyes are really bugging me though I made the source lighting a little to dark I mIght try fix that up, but I really need to concentrate on the rest of my vow as I am really falling behind on the rest of the models.

Jorre Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Ok this is my third update for the LPC done alot of work the last couple days. Finished putting together my 300 inspired vanguard veterans and put the base coat of Dragon red on them. Sorry some of the photos turned out a little blurry The guys with spears are my counts as lightning claws. My assault squad is coming along nicely to, but I want to finish a few more thing on them before I take any more photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Man, those are looking good! I like the poses very much, and you put great effort into the 300 theme. It's nice to see that you get along with your LPC! Still need to build half of my Veterans :) Â Good work. Excited to see some more paint on these!

Kierdale Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Those VV are outstanding! The 300-influence is great. Looking forward to seeing them completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Just a quick update today as I've done some work on my assault squad. I have been working on getting the red armour right and the helmets are ready to go to. Posting my progress and getting feedback has really helped me keep myself motivated, hopefully I can keep it up and get this vow complete in time... Still alot to do!

Gv0zD Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Man, I love your spear wielding VV! They really look awesome, very Greek B) Did you use GK halberds as the spears? I want to see your army fully painted. I bet they will win battles only with their look :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorre Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 The Spears, shields and Helmets are all from Anvil Industries. They also do some galdius which I plan on using to expand the squad to 10 man. Â I actually got to use them in a tournament the other weekend and well I wish they killed as good as they looked to! Rather unlucky day for them. They did kill a Tervigon in one game and a Demon Prince in another, but most the time they came well short of being a worth while buy. I probably didn't use them very well, it was my first proper tournament. However they are great models and Vanguard vets I think are one of the most appealing units in the game to me so I wont be giving up on them just yet.

Jorre Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 So I have a lot of half finished projects atm.... So just in case I didnt have enough here are a few new models I have been working on! Hopefully I can actually get these ones painted!!! Thats the first 3 of a planned 5 man squad! All weapons are magnatised so I can swap there weapons out for assault weapons!

Darklighter Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I like the way you've used the different kit parts to build these terminators. Where did you get them shoulder pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp4rky Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Haha, that is an amazing use of Sanguinary Guard shoulder pads! Those Terminators really look deserving of their 2+ save. Love 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
