Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 I've got some plans. Lot of beaky helmets sitting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 For those who do not follow Greyall's art thread you really should! Cause your mini can get picked in one of his "contests" and you get a bad ass piece of art for it like this: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/307/c/6/chaplain_thiel___vultures_by_greyall-d8549s5.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Not to necro, but I have been painting some marines for a friend of mine who would definitely qualify for the cult of orange, is there a way to include them somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Just shoot me a link in a PM and I'll add them to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 It has been close to 10 years since I took a miniatures picture with an actual camera. As such I apologize to Jeff Wilhelm for the quality of these pics. The idea behind these Ice Flow I bases is spring run off, similar to what you see in the first pictures. Bases are a bit blue in person but the lights washed it out a bit. I am obviously WAAAYYY out of practice with photography work but I'll get better as this project moves along (hopefully). Definitely need to start with a less shiny black cloth. Blues and whites were done with washes. Water effects (over 130 bases in total) were done with Woodland Scenic's Realistic Water. *EDIT: So you get an idea of how blue they look in person, here is a shot from just before moving them to the light box. Natural light, with my phone: and another from earlier in the process: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Lovely work on those bases, Kurgan. Is this a herald of new orange marines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 These are for some fish-heads but yes there are Vultures on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major_Gilbear Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I like your efforts on the bases, and I don't see these particular ones from DF used very often. Looking good so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileposter Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 EDIT: Misread the original postings. Oops. Those bases look gorgeous. Awesome work. As for the Cult of Orange... I have some Marines left over from a failed Space Wolf set that this tempts me to do up in a similar scheme. Because Orange is a color you don't see on Chapters nearly often enough. Could call them... The Tangmarines... I'm not sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I recently saw an image of a "Capris Sons" marine. Very, very orange. Sadly the Fire Badgers can no longer apply for the cult of orange, as their scheme is now grey and flamey, but I would like to see more CoO chappies like your Vultures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 So Kurgan, now that there is wider stance on armies here at the B&C, can brothers of Xenos mothers apply to be part of the Cult of Orange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Very nice stuff, I have to say that is one of the most unique takes I have seen on miniatures basing I have seen in a very long time they look great. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 The one and only Primaris that the Vultures will get. While it isn't an involved conversion (shoulder pads were easy) I would have to alter the neck guard on every single model in order for the Vulture helm to fit correctly. So phase 1, primer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan the Lurker Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Well it has been a few months but I finally sat down and made some progress. Sadly not only have my painting skills erode greatly but so have my photography skills. Losing my tripod hasn't helped the situation either. I'll need to practice both by the time this guy is done. Anyway....progress....WIPs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lunkhead Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I don't know about your skills eroding Brother Kurgan. Your work is looking quite good to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Decided to give this painting thing a try again. I've been going through my paints (300+ bottles) and the casualty rate is high. Pretty much all my inks/washes are done for. Nearly 2 dozen bottles of paint are beyond savings. Bucket load of brushes in the trash too (thankfully none of my good ones). Anyway, in an attempt to log a more balanced hobby-time at the gym routine I've been trying to put in as much time in the hobby room as I do in the gym each night. If you follow my IG you'll know I basically did not hobby in 2017. So far I'm 4 for 4 on painting this year. Though it has ranged from 40 minutes to a couple hours. #ProjectDragonSuns has started. Primaris Marines will eventually be on this. Starting with some AzTech bases from Dragon Forge Day 1 was just getting them primed:: Day 2, First coat of Rotting Flesh: Day 3: Agrax Earth Shade wash. Day 4: I managed to get some good time in here today. I started with a dry brush of 2 parts Rotting Flesh and 1 part Skull White (yep I got all kinds of old GW colors). I followed this up with a wash of Carroburg Crimson. While that was still wet I then spot-washed areas on the bases with a home made wash of Hawk Turqoise. Tomorrow some more dry brushing and hopefully starting in on colors of the mosaics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
