Combat_Vet Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Seeing as I am going to have a bunch of left over bits from my penance army I have decided to make a small force for 40K. After seeing the phenomenal work done by Dorns_fist and reading "Bitter Salvage", I have decided to try Marines Malevolent.I figure with the extra time it takes to paint these guys I won't have to worry about painting as many. Plus it forces me to paint yellow, which I normally avoid like a hug from Papa Nurgle himself.http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/2015%20Army/12D6B00B-9125-497D-BDCE-BA952D7A6F65_zps6ejahdua.jpgAs always any C&C is welcome and pointers, tips, or advice would be appreciated. Thanks for taking a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctem Cultor Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Id maybe try to make the black look less flat but otherwise it looks great. Are you spraying the yellow or did you build that up? Because it looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Noctem - it's all brushed that's why I said it's going to be a small force One coat of dark sea grey (Vallejo Game Color) Two coats of thinned Ochre (Vallejo Model Air) Washed with the old flesh wash (GW) Two coats thined Golden Yellow (Vallejo Game color) Recesses "washed" with Earthshade (GW) I see what you mean about the black. I may have washed it out after my highlights. It has two shades of gray highlights and then a black wash, but that may have been too harse. I will try diluting it and see how that turns out. Thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Brother Traced, The Broken One, Last of the Tanhauser Defenders, the Zealot, Marine Malevolent Veteran. Brother Traced was destined to live and die as untold billions within the Imperium. That changed when he was discovered by a Marines Malevolent recruitment purge of his hive slum. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/IMG_0692_zps1cb630d2.jpg He quickly progressed through the ranks of scout and distinguished himself as a tactical marine, culminating in the battle of Tanhauser Wall. The remnants of his squad were the sole survivors of the battle for which he earned the Iron Aquila. He still incorporates this award into his armor to this day http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/IMG_0694_zps2592b8b0.jpg Though his squad mates and Brothers refer to him as "the Zealot" closer inspection reveal that his prayers are not directed to the Emperor, a Primarch, or even a Chapter ancient. Throughout each battle his prayers are sung to the ancient machine spirit of his battered and failing Tactical Dreadnaught Plate. Requesting simply one more battle for the imperium of man (visible is the modified tageting array moved from Traced's helmet to an external pick-up in his power fist)... http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/IMG_0695_zpscba933ba.jpg Brother Traced's left shoulder plate bears honor markings for two of his Imperial cousins that gave thier lives so that his plate could continue to serve the Imperium. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/IMG_0693_zps5b8ad48e.jpg Tried this one with a white primer rather than a grey one. As always C&C is welcome and tips and advice are always welcome. Thanks for taking a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I love the terminator marine. I think the white primer worked very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combat_Vet Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ephrael and Grizzly_bear, thank you both :) Now that I have the right army it is just a matter of repetition to get the right colors. These guys seem to be perfect for me as they allow so much diversity in the builds as well as being nowhere near "parade ground pretty" which most armies are.

Combat_Vet Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Made my first attempt at air brushing (made lots of mistakes). Used chipping medium for the first time and put polyurethane primer on top of it. It all peeled up so I had to start over. Used oil based paint for shading and I have a lot of work to go to get it right, but I can definitely see why people like it. Started the mud work but haven't added the powders or heavy effects yet so its not an issue yet. Tried to do rust but didn't have "rust streaks" so tried it with a rust wash instead. I think being Marines Malevolent saves me a little with the paint job :) C&C, tips, or any advice are always welcome. Thanks for taking a look.http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/2015%20Army/F5F68530-0313-47BE-9D5D-BD1FA1816257_zpscctvh2sy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Went with Heavy Bolters and made the doors in case I want to run it as a rhino. Still need to add the mud and pigments, but I am surprised ( and honestly happy) with it as a air brush test piece. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w291/meadows88/2015%20Army/346EDE09-D4C0-41BA-8176-0C9FC87347C3_zpsowg3scb1.jpg The black and bits are brush painted, but the majority is airbrushed. It's just a matter of getting over my fear of the equipment I guess :) As always any C&C or other input is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I've just stumbled across this. Excellent start here 200! I'm really liking the terminator you've done and the tank looks suitably bust up. I've gone for a slightly darker yellow for mine but that shade you've got is lovely.
