chaplainmikey Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hi, I posted these in the Hall of Honour but thought that I may as well put them here for good measure ;) . They really are lovely models with so many small deatils and touches that really set them apart from loyalists such as the choas symbols, the warped armour with deamonic growths and the abundance of funky armour trim. I was also really surprised to see that it appears the bolters have customised grips that look like they are supposed to be made of a wood-like material which gives them a nice antiquiated look that I really like. :D http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_Photo0936.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_Photo0934.jpg These two took me AGES to paint though thats most likely down to me over doing the layers on the armour. I think I did 5 layers on the pink, when really I should just paint the pink straight on in thin coats, skipping the the 2 preiveous purply colours, and add definition via a purple wash. Seems i'm gonna have to start cutting some edges ;) . I think i'm also going to paint up a few cultists or the Hellbrute just to give myself something different between painting the Chosen. Looking forward to seeing how everybody elses models turn out, great idea for a thread! Cheers, Mike. P.S. Has anyone who bought multiple sets converted a Hellbrute yet?

Bungicats Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Well my dark vengeance box FINALLY got here *grumble* @ 5 days shipping. Anyways I noticed something weird in my box within seconds of opening it and wondered if anyone else had the same problem? I don't recall seeing this "miniature" (theres nothing small about it) in the pre release photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyl- Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 with all the true scale projects i've seen, shouldn't the bigger marines be a good thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Darkshade Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sorry for the dark pic my camera phone didn't pull off a flash but here is a very early stage attempt at M'kar http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47/Talon_Darkshade/Chaos%20Space%20Marines/WiPMkar.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So cute! If that's what seperates the limited edition from the regular, I want it! :P The cat is like "Yes I am sat on the scenario booklet, and no, you are not getting it".

Iron Father Ferrum Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks for the comments, but is it just me and Brother Nathan that has gotten their sets? I've got mine too, I'm just slow. I'm spending a lot of time working on my Iron Hands for the Feast of Blades, and I'm anal about mold lines, so it takes me a while to trim up any miniature before I'll start applying paint.

Lepaca Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Use my normal warband painting scheme on the DV minis or use them as a start for a Word Bearers warband? Help my decide B & C! EDIT: Not seen on the picture: Lots of red freehand markings and some bronze details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing this "miniature" (theres nothing small about it) in the pre release photos. Schrodinger has been looking for that. I like that one picture he is looking up and the other he is not but they both have the same time stamp ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplainmikey Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I wouldn't allow any of my cats sit in my box, they would likely leave me a little present in there! :tu: Talon Darkshade- love the Hellbrute conversion. How will you be painting it? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ugh mine is supposed to get here tomorrow. Looking at everyone else's minis, I really hope its on time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnosaur93 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 ive gotten quite alot of work done on mine, that will be made into a tzeentch warband consisting of fallen ravenguard or spaceshark marines (some minor conversions and such) and i think i can have some pictures up in the weekend (they are currently stationed elsewhere, where i wont have to acces till then... also i only have a phone for pictures myself)... and hopefully the 3 squads of chosen and the posessed bits i ordered will arrive soon aswell as for the miniatures in general i absolutly love them. the style is nice and retro (looks like RT chaos) and they are actually properly proportioned! the heads are smaller and the legs/torso/shoulders are bigger and bulkier... they still lake overall scale though, but personally i feel that the biggest problem with marines are their proportions, not their scale. also, am i the only one who have noticed that the plastic seems different than the normal GW plastic? it seems alot softer, and the plastic itself feels about twice as heavy as normal (that said, the newest GW kit ive got before this one is the dark eldar talos/chronos kit(which might potentially have been sitting on a shelf since the model was released). so it might just be me being behind on this matter...)

Schrodinger's cat ... in a box ... both alive and dead at the same time ... the quantum state of sub-atomic particles is both stable and unstable at the same time until it is measured and thus it is the act of measuring that converts those particles into a defined state ... no one has heard of this? Never mind. Jokes loose their impact once they are explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look lovely! its all about the thickness of the paint, i tend to water all my paints down a bit, although i put those higlights on a little thicker to maintain my lines. its hard to explain in words, its taken me ages to work out paint thickness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
