SirTainly Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 First post on this one, but I've pledged to do the following: 2 Units of CSMs (10 figs each) 1 Unit of Bezerkers (8 figs) 1 Unit of Havocs (5 figs) 1 Unit of Raptors (5/6 Figs) Just to make it interesting I need to get all five squads done by the month end before I ship out for Canada! I have the month off, but I have loads of packing up to do - Lots of early starts then! :cuss Today's progress was to make a good start on the Havocs, 1 guy almost done, another about 40% and the rest of the squad undercoated (they are partially assembled). I also stuck th legs for one of the CSM squads to bases to speed me up later. Almost done, need to paint the base. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_4.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_3.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_2.jpg Lots still to do. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_1.jpg Had some spare green stuff, this guy now had a lanyard. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 I relaised how poor the photos looked first time, so I've gone abck and retaken them. I struggle with photos as my normal lighting rig is half packed so I have to make do with household bulbs. :D one more shot: http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken86 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 im liking the autocannon conversion may i use it and is that a sentinal autocannon? good job brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thanks. It's IG support AC but with a shorter barrel, the Sentinel one is a better size, but needs more work to make it into something that'll fit on the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Not too much time for modelling today but: 5th man of the Havoc squad, needs base finishing but he's got a nice battered look. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/hvc_7.jpg First man of my first CSM squad WIP. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/sqd1_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Few more CSMs progressed today: (all of these have been worked on more since the photos were taken so there's more for tomorrow) Fluff Squad Leader guy - no effect in game http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/sqd1_5.jpg IOCG guy http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/sqd1_4.jpg Normal CSM http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/sqd1_3.jpg Melta CSM http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/sqd1_2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Juts a little update, the first CSM Squad is pretty much done, the Aspiring Champion needs his base doing and then they all need a touch of Dullcote but that's it. I've assembled the second squad today, so hopefully I'll get through these pretty quickly. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm3.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm12.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm4.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm11.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm10.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm9.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm6.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm5.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm8.jpg Something from squad 2: http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/csm7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 You've been busy, they look great. Have you considered giving them a little Gryphonne Sepia wash in the recessed parts of the metallic bits? It would give them better definition I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 thanks, nothing like a tight deadline to make me busy! I tried some sepia at your suggestion, but wasn't really happy with the colouring. That said using my ghetto wash (black paint and Future floor polish :rolleyes:) has really sharpened up the metallics - wierd really black wash on black figures. No photos of those figures now washed, Dullcoted and packed but some of my Bezerkers' Rhino. Had to order 2 more Rhino's today to avoid paying the extra £2 each that GW will be charging in 3 weeks. Those I will just spray black, desprue them and finish them when I'm in Canada. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/rhino1.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/rhino2.jpg Photos are a touch washed out and don't show the subtle hi-lighting. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Overall some great work. Congrats ;) The only thing that doesn't seem right is the limp hand of the first autocannon model. Otherwise keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirTainly Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Nightrunner - thanks - he's a very *nice* Spacemarine! ;) Actually it's a bit of a problem that the CSM sprues have so few decent left arms. Matt - do you see lines, which models? I spent ages scraping the blighters off, but the drybrushing picks up the vestiges of them. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Did a bit more on the Rhino today, but nothing worth photographing - lots of red! :P Started on my Skull Champion, he's an optional upgrade for my squad since without him I hit 998 points which is right where I want to be to get some games in. http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/skullc2.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/skullc3.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/skullc4.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/skullc1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 small update to the Skull Champion... http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/scf.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/Pics/40k/scb.jpg Lots of base coating going on, hope to have another squad done very soon.

MattCrawford Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 If I do see molding lines, they seem to be on the inside of the lower leg casing. Might just be a trick of the light, but I'm sure I saw a few. Either way, your painting is great and I can't find anything to fault you on. Can I get your red recipe? I'm working on some Khorne boyz now :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirTainly Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 I probably missed a few, still I'm more of a gamer than a modeller so as long as they look ok at distance on the table I can sleep easy! As for the red, it's nothing special, just the GW paint they suggest for the Bezerkers (forget the name, will check when I go back upstairs) painted over a skull white spray undercoat, and then washed with my Special Wash (Future floor polish + black paint). PS I'm up at 1:30AM as I've been killing myself on the second squad of CSMs, I hope to have them painted, but not based by this time tomorrow.

SirTainly Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Sorry for the delay, things became manic with packing up to leave, and in the event there wasn't room for my CSMs <_< so they had to go into storage - dammit. Obviously that means no more updates for which I apologise, I gave it my best shot but just ran out of time. Anyway here are the shots I managed before I left: http://warweb.homelinux.net/albums/war40k/csm_mg.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/albums/war40k/csm_icon2.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/albums/war40k/csm_skull.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/albums/war40k/havocsq.jpg http://warweb.homelinux.net/albums/war40k/csmarmy1.sized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
