Excessus does stuff...sometimes...

gallery_61265_13249_94592.jpg

I don't really remember anymore why I had started a second WIP-thread when the new CSM models were released, or why I named both of the threads specifically after my Alpha Legion warband when quite a lot of the content was for different stuff. So, third time's a charm! I merged them together instead of starting a third thread now that I'm back after a short hobby-break, better to have everything together (if nothing else, just for me keeping track of how much or little I have improved over the years)! But I thought I'd at least explain things than just randomly merge stuff together and start a new WIP-thread on page 18. :tongue.:

Now, back to a more innocent time...2013... :smile.:

Ok, so since my entire WIP thread was pretty new, it got bombed with the rest of the new posts. :smile.:

So the ETL is going along nicely for me. I am planning to have everything done in just a few days.

Here is what is done sofar: (I'm crappy at taking pictures...and I only have an iPhone as well :sad.: )

Well, I managed to finish my ETL vow, and here is a crappy picture to prove it:

...and then I had a little moment where I was suddenly inspired by the new BL supplement artwork. An hour later or so, this guy showed up...

He was fun to build, maybe a bionic Plague Marine? :P

Is there any chance that you could provide close-ups? They look great at a distance, but they reveal none of their details, which is what I'd like to see :smile.:

 

Nice looking Bionic Marine :thumbsup:

 

EDIT: Oh, and since the board ate up the post where you gave me a short tutorial on how you painted them up, would you mind posting it again?

@Ludovic: It's Kantor Blue, drybrushed and highlighted with Sotek Green, the HQ have a Kabalite Green highlight as well. After that it's washing with Drakenhof Nightshade. Legion markings are Kabalite Green highlighted with Warboss Green.

 

Here are my two plasma guys. (that has developed a bad habit of blowing themselves up in each battle)

Ok, I am trying out some various ways of photographing my models...and it's not turning out as I would have liked...

 

I only have my crappy iPhone 5, and various A4 sized papers to reflect with. I should probably build a lightbox but I am too lazy...for now...

 

This time I tried angling them a bit compared to the lightsources. Result: meh...

Aaaand that's it! I had to fix these ones up a bit, I painted them while half asleep and they looked like crap! Painted, yes, but not something I personally would be happy with... :P

 

More crappy pictures:

Thanks!

 

So I'm going to a 1500 point tournament 1st of nov, and have a few tings to build until then.

 

First up might be a lord with an above average flamer on a...jetbike?

I need to find some more "jetbike bits" around my boxes though...

@Brother Melice: I'm not good at taking pictures or making tutorials though, but I took pictures and we'll see.

 

I cut off the legs at the groin, and cut off the toes. Then I positioned them as I wanted and built up new heels with GS.

The knees already have pretty good angles I found out, it's just the feet and groin that are attached in an unnatural way...

 

@jimmy101: I drybrushed with a very dry brush with Mournfang Brown, and then a smaller area with Karak Stone.
