@the_chaplain...many thanks for your kind words. .as regards the imperial fists, im waitingto get my grubby mitts on the 3rd heresy book to see what yellow variations I can do for them..thanks again for replying!

 

@daemonclaw..cheers mate, they so far are sticking within my 3 hour time limit per marine, so I now feel comfortable to continue with them..im confident that by your b.day I might even have 2 units and a h.q to game against you haha

 

First marine 95% finished, just needs base and blood splatter which I will do the unit in one go.

 

Thanks for looking and any replies.

Well done on the Blood splatter and the Decal placement. The last pic of the Imperial Fist is cool

if your impy fists looked like chimpy boy you would win all your games as your opponents would die laughing .hey a win by default

also guy in the centre looks smaller than his brothers ,is it just positioning of the bases or is he smaller?

kudos for making this guy also match up ,looking forward to seeing a whole squad complete with bolters

[Leman Russ SW]

They look fantastic.  May I ask how you have done the fading on the transfers?  Thanks

[chaplain mortis]

@DSS7...thanks for your kind words and glad you liked the imperial fist haha

 

@ daemonclaw..thanks for looking mate, bolters and bases will be done as soon as I finish each ten man squad..so only a few months haha.

 

@leman russ sw..thanks for your kind words and cheers for replying, sorry for the late reply as regards your question...I use the sponging method for fading the transfers..use your base colour, then apply different pressure to the decals to produce more or less weathering to them.

 

Another one bites the dust..4 out of 20 so far..WOOT! Haha.

 

.thanks again for looking, and a special treat added to keep you fixed on this thread!

ALL HAIL THE HIPNO-TOAD! ALL HAIL THE HIPNO-TOAD!

 

Great World Eaters you have there (I think I might have said that before :D). Your blood-spatter effect is very realistic.

[daemonclaw]

i must be tired as it looks to me like the new guy is doing a little jig on the pot

great work again dude

[Knight of the Raven]

Good painting and weathering.

[chaplain mortis]

@Anaziel..Hypnotoad commands you buy chaplain mortis lots of resin goodies...thank you for your words mate..very appreciated..always good to hear positive feedback.

 

@Daemonclaw..your right about the jig..he is just happy to be finished haha..thanks again for your comments.

 

@EPK..sounds like you have been a victim of the hypnotoad before hehe..thank you for your words, again very appreciated!

 

@DSS7...thanks for your comments..now stare at the toad!!!

 

@Knight of the Raven..thank you for your reply and happy at your comments..cheers.

 

Now with some pomp and ceremony, I have finished the first 5 marines..the bolters have not come out well in the pics but they have been dusted quite heavily with dark steel powder to give a nice subtle metallic effect.

 

Hope you like and thanks for looking

[Warpsmith_Johnson]

Are you planning on modeling any tactical legionnaires with"blades out?" It seems like a rather nice opportunity to model them with bolter and chainaxe.

[Relict]

Very nice. I like the weathering and blood splatters. 

 

Welcome to the XII Legion. See you in the, uh, painting pits, brother. :D

[Chaeron]

Shaping up very nicely. Love the weathering!

[Reyner]

How have you done the white for these guys?

[That Guy Matt]

Looking good.  Great weathering on the World Eaters especially.

[chaplain mortis]

@warpsmith_johnson...definitely got plans for blades out, 2 blocks of 20 marines with chainaxe and bolters..I did have a bag of chainblade bolter attachments for these guys but somehow that has gone walkabout.

 

@Relict..well met brother..glad you like em and painting pits you say? Better sharpen up my chainbrush haha..will you be joining the heresy forum for this years ETL?? Thanks for your reply!

 

@Chaeron..many thanks for your reply, very appreciated. .hoping to get more to show soon..

 

@Reyner...regarding the white. .its all done with enamels..can explain more if you like? Most ppl just say ohhhh when you mention enamel haha.

 

@asamodai..thank you very much for your comments, always goot to have positive feedback. ..many thanks again..

 

Now to start planning for the E.T.L mwuh hahaha

[Telhdrat]

Very nice. The blood splatter and weathering is indeed great, clearly visible but not overdone.

ETL with the August 15 deadline? I will most likely take part. I just got done painting the first batch of my FW WEs. I plan on placing a second order from FW in late May/early June. That should give me plenty of resin and time to model and paint. 

 

My WEs are a bit rougher than yours (for I am still a novice painter). Check them out - follow the link in my signature! 

 

You just got yourself another follower. :D

[chaplainmikey]

Fantastic work, some of the best Pre-Heresy World Eaters I've seen!

[Warpsmith_Johnson]

I'm glad to hear your nutters will have their trademark weapons, it was a reason I was tempted to collect world eaters.

[Cyrox]

Very very nice World Eaters. At first glance I thought the weathering effect was too much but having looked at it, and considering its WE, I think you have it spot on

[Augustus b'Raass]

Aw man these WE look great. Just discovered this thread and i'm very impressed.

 

thats a nice looking world eater,

funny how these well painted threads die a death unless you constantly update meanwhile the poorly painted ones get the constant "awesome " comments

So true. Im so glad you kept at it after you thought the thread died.

 

The blood splatter is tamiya clear red, right? Could you give some tips as to how to achieve the effect?

 

Keep it up buddy!
