Bam-AoD Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Olisredan: I would love that at moment, although the heat helps undercoat dry a lot faster, I'm glad someone recognised the pose :lol: Thanks NightHunters and thedarklordobsidian. Finished the final squad member, he looks a bit bruised and battered: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1497/imag0160fd.jpg http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1826/imag0161o.jpg http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/4499/imag0162vk.jpg And PIP on the Libby. http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/196/imag0163dj.jpg Bam.

Bam-AoD Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Rifleman Dread for close fire support. http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1680/imag0179se.jpg Painted up this fellow during the down time while painting the dread, I think I enjoyed it too much.. http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/2048/imag0180r.jpg http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/4285/imag0181h.jpg He seems a little lonely... http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5558/imag0185c.jpg I'm just wondering, Should I start a new thread for the army or continue using this one?

batu Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Use this one for all your Badab stuff !!!! I really like your Astral Claws. Every marine looks like a real individual. Very good posing. The painting is also fantastic as well as weathering and battle damage. I little point of critic though, the black battle damage / scratches on the silver parts are a bit to big, meaning some look more like dots of paint. I hope that makes some sense. Again very cool stuff and nice to see a dead Medusa ! Keep up your fantastic work ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Awesome! COngrats on the finished vow! Love the bases as well, I think that apothecary's weathering on the boots and shins looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-AoD Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks for the nice comments guys :P Batu: I know exactly what you mean mate, I'm trying to work out a way to fix it, I was thinking about painting the center of them with a rusty colour so it looks like the bare metal has rusted, like a car does when the bare metal gets exposed (Or perhaps the inner rust is revealing the true nature of the Astral Claws ;)). Brother Syth: I've been using the ruins pieces from the first LotR packs they released back in the day (2001?) But I'm running out of them so I've been coming up with alternatives, I sculpted the apothecaries base and liked it so I've been practicing with a couple more bases, I might get some progress pics of them up soon. Okay well this thread shall now be my Badab War thread, mostly Astral Claws with some Minotaurs mixed in. Bam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studio Silvernale Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think that Minotaur likes his odds TBH. He needs a little speech bubble saying "bring it" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-AoD Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Posted too early. Will fix it soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-AoD Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Okay Guys I'm back, I haven't been able to buy undercoat so my Astral Claws have been put on the back burner until I can. Until then I've decided to finally reboot my Crimson fists with new paintjobs and extra equipment. They can be seen in my Hall of Honour thread in my Sig. Personally I can't stand most of them, They were rushed in order to make it to Arcanacon 2010 or 2011, I'm not quite sure which it was.. So Here's a look at how the new scheme will look: As you can see they're going to be from the fourth company, I know fists don't usually have trim colours but I want something different. Now I don't want Kantor leading this force, but he will make occasional appearances. Instead they'll be lead by: Horace Antarius, Captain of the fourth, Master of the hunt. I know, I know he has a powersword instead of a fist, but he'll be used to represent Sicarius and Kor'sarro, Mostly because I felt being a hunter he would want to strike fast and kill his enemy before they could get a hit in. A little background fluff.. Horace Antarius, Captain of the fourth, Lord of the hunt. A famed and honoured Captain before the disaster of Rynn’s World, Horace Antarius is a master strategist, preferring to take the enemies of the emperor with superior tactics rather than sheer brute force. After the disaster, Captain Horace pleaded with Chapter Master Kantor to allow him to avenge the brothers who fell in their home-worlds defense against the Orks. Knowing that others would seek the same thing he begrudgingly agreed, Re-naming Horace the “Lord of the Hunt”, tasked with leading the remnants of his company in a crusade against the green skins. Gifted with one of the few remaining barges available, Horace set out to remove the shame from his chapters name and seek vengeance wherever he could find it… The army will include a lot of weathering to befit their chapters fall from grace, As well as some new bases. I've begun with 5 marines and the first is almost complete, Hopefully I'll get a picture of him up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batu Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Just checked out your Crimson fists. They dont mirror your painting skills ( as seen on your astral claws), but they are not that bad either. I think you will make a fantastic job on their new reincarnation. Im not so sure about the green trims. Surly you will make them look good, but the fluff factor bugs me. Im looking forward to see the weathering and battle damage. But please dont forget your Badab stuff ! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-AoD Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Batu Thanks a lot mate :tu: Hopefully I'll make the trim work, so far it's not bad but it'll likely be darker than on the picture. What's bugs you about the fluff? I'm terrible when it comes to fluff so any help is appreciated. The badab stuff will not be forgotten, don't worry about that mate I erven have another apothecary built and waiting to be primed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batu Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I just meant the green trims are "wrong"according to the fluff. But don't let that worry you! Its just a matter of personal preference. Every thing goes, in our wonderful hobby :tu: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-AoD Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Batu: Ah that's understandable, my mistake :P Here are some very WIP shots to show how the green looks, I think I really like it. http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/1972/imag0199j.jpg http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/5789/imag0200sj.jpg He still has major details to do but the blue and green are finished. Still need to highlight the freehand chapter symbol, I'm not sure yet if I'll freehand it or not, We'll see how well this one turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronus Stormbringer Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Love these, great weathering im a real fan of the used look on armour. The Librarian is something special too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Loving your minis, really great paintjobs! I'd probably suggest toning down the brown mud effect on the apothecary, it seems a lot heavier on him than on your other warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam-AoD Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks Kronus Stormbringer and WingsOfTheFalcon :sweat: WingsOfTheFalcon: I have thought about toning down the mud but I'm really happy with how his armour turned out, so I'm afraid to in case I ruin him. It does grow on you after awhile though. I should have the first marine finished soon, we've had some really hot nights here the last couple of days so there hasn't been a good time to finish him.

Grizzly_bear Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think cOncerning the trim/company colours when it comes to the crimson fists is that because they have never been shown In art work with the company trim it's just odd (too most) to see them with comPany colours on their shoulder trim, I my self started the CF 4th company and tried the green trim, I likedit and alot of other liked it too but I really wanted my CF's to look authentic to their glorious look waaaaay back in RT days, but as it's always said it's YOUR army so you bloody do what you well like with it lol I really like green wax on the purity seals too, how come You haven't gone for the best battle captain ever?
