UltraRich Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Ive been working on a few minis in the WIP section but thought Id share them over here too as that seems to be mainly power armor Im trying to see if the scions can blend with my small IG PDF force and heres the results of this weekends work. I'll pose more as I go but Ive got Yarrick prepped and ready as my next mini Edited September 15, 2019 by UltraRich MechaMan, Pigshead, Chefzilla and 19 others 22 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Furious Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I always believe Scions are a great addition to any IG force, no matter the size. Great work and loving the Green on the Armour/Fatigues. walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Must be a pretty hellish planet to get Scions with PDF! Good to see these fully painted. Last time they were just bare plastic and a dream held together with sticky tac. Well, welcome to the Guard! librisrouge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 fantastic paint job!!! ...but I prefer the Kasrkin models, or, failing that, the old astronaut models...these new plastic glory boys are meh. librisrouge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yes, the Forge area is more power armour so all Guard painting/tactica/etc stuff is not just appropriate here but also welcome :) Even more so with such finely painted models ;) The green is great along with the face, we'll be looking forward to seeing more soon so don't disappoint us Ultra :lol: librisrouge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraRich Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys Im always moving onto the next project before Ive finished the first one so before I invest in a box of scions Ive vowed to finish all of the IG minis that Ive had I bought about 12 off ebay in various states. some were fine and cleaned up, others were glue bombs. To get me started I based these last night Once its dry Ill paint and highlight them to match my Ultra army The sarge came out well (I need to finish the arms etc) He must be doing something right as he survived long enough to grow a tash Heres the next six undercoated and prepped Im only doing the bodies as I want to use the scion heads once I get that pack and once these are done then onto.....

UltraRich Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) Ive cracked on with the minis and Im about to call in at GW this weekend to pick up a box of Scion troops. I found a spare cachan head but Im not sure it goes that well. What do you think Here are the other 4 with the cloth done (awaiting final highlight) and the green washed awaiting shade Edited September 14, 2019 by UltraRich 4CIN87, elmo and walter h 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The head looks great, as do the models in general - the faces are fantastic! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I think the head looks just right. Nice looking models, keep it up. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys Ive just about finished my flamer The lights washed out the shade so I'll try and get a better picture later Ive also used one of my sternguard meltas and replaced one of my flamer arms with it This will be next up Edited September 14, 2019 by UltraRich Father Mehman, walter h and WarriorFish 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 That scion is lovely! Also the odd beret goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Does the melta work nicely on the other side as well? This idea has been officially stolen ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 @ Mehman It does, I'll get a photo of it. The flamer handle sits nicely on the flat plate of the melta. This isnt glued yet so what Im going to do is glue a ring onto the side of the melta so the handle connects to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 That's what I was wondering about- the length of the plate comparative to the handle. Put down a plasticard circle and voila! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 this is great stuff here, the painting is clean,crisp and pops well, it doesn't get any better than this! consider this one being watched closely. congrats on some good stuff and the inspiration that comes from looking at it too Cheers, Mithril p.s the face on the beret guard at the top is verrry well done nice stubble effect and what colours are used on the fatigues if i may ask?..

Chefzilla Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've gotta know how you painted the stubble? That is some awesome work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 More great models, the melta conversion went very well so that'll be well worth doing again :) How long before we can get a nice army shot I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks guys I'll come back with an update on the colours later tonight but just as a note on the melta the stock behind the hand grip is longer on the SM version so to make it fit inside the bend in the arm I had to shave a couple of mm off of the back of the melta (Essentially cutting the sloping section off at the back) and then recut the slope back in further down. This then meant the IG hand fits neatly up to the point where the old trigger was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Good to know, UltraRich. After the projects on the table are completed, I think a few melta and plasma gunners shall be in order, thanks to your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Evening @ mithrilforge The fatigues are to the GW guide. Its a Steel Legion Drab base, washed with devlan mud, then highlighted with various mixes of steel legion, tallarn sand and karak stone. the final highlights are pure karak stone, I then give it a really watery wash of medium and devlan mud to blend it. Re the stubble just take whatever colour you use for the face and add a small touch of black (and I mean a dot of it) it then goes a grey/flesh colour. Add some medium and apply to area..... just dont overdo it or it looks odd As requested here are a few reference pics of how it sits. I'll probablt add a small disc mount point on the side of the melta where the handle connects but I'll do this once Im ready to prime Compare this to a standard melta and you can see the stock has been reduced slightly Edited September 14, 2019 by UltraRich WarriorFish, Father Mehman and 4CIN87 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Nice photos! Also for stubble you can add together your final face and/or head highlight colour with Stormvermin Fur and then apply as needed. I stipple/drybrush it onto the areas but you could probably paint it on, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraRich Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I ended up bidding on a couple of sniper minis over the weekend and got them for Edited September 14, 2019 by UltraRich 4CIN87 and WarriorFish 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
