great job, enjoyed reading about your progress. The quality your investing into these is inspiring.

 

my two cents, i think the first batch benefited from the steel elements in the scheme, rather than black

Glad you appreciate my efforts. I have very little hobby time due to work and family commitments, but I do try my best to get my models to a good standard and create interest.

 

The first batch were regular marines, the latest were 'destoyers' - only the destroyers in this force will have the black shoulder trim and wasp style, hazard / identification backpacks ( so supporting marines can see them easier in smog or gas attacks). I prefer the steel too, although i may make this more bronzed for veterans. :)

So its been all quiet on the Western Front, but made a little progress recently:

 

Two Castelax and the start of a Praevian

Mortiat?

Praetor, Tamadas Dion.

 

Slight change to his previous pose, this was for balance and to facilitate easier magnetisation of his scythe arm. I could possibly re-work to go back to the old pose, but it would require large amounts of greenstuff to look 'right'. Also, the new pose is now correct according to the body roll that would be produced by the change in angle of the wings I have made. Still needs a good base and some bling bling before being primed - he needs to be special, but not too over the top, it's death guard afterall.

Looking forward to feedback :)

Still insure if I should remove the heavy bolter part, so all you see is the barrels poking out the nose. But as is seems more beleivable as would allow for a few degrees of tracking without having to change the course of the bike.

 

Any thoughts?

 personally i would agree with removing the HB part, as it's obviously a HB with an assault cannon stuck to the end of it. Just personal preference. He looks magnificent either way!:happy.:

A quick vent: 

 

Had the new red book in my possession for approx 4 hours today, then my neophyte toddler managed to get his hands on it without me realising and ripped one of the pages  :(

Feel your pain, that's why everything hobby-related here is either locked up, or shelved beyond the reach of the grubby little one.

Preavian about 80% there. Nipple tentacles will get some watch parts on the end, and i made a mistake by attaching the backpack to the flamer. I'm going to remove the fuel line, Inthink this guy needs to be dual use with a techmarine and possibky forgelord so will need a magnetised backpack. The flamer too will need to be magnetised so i can swap for conversion beamer when i need to.

Great use of the Warpsmith body, I badly want another one to convert into a 30k mini (I'll use it as a base for Kys Vhalen :P) is the backpack the 40k techmarine servo harness?

Is that the censured black 100 squaring off against your DG??

Nice to see such amazing armies on the table together!!

 

You've made great progress, and the minis are all great and full of character.

Nice to see a motivated collector :-D

 

It is! Arkhan and I are very good friends. Part of the reason of the recent progress is that he is back in town, gives me some motivation

Those two squaring off has been the highlight of the boards these past days :biggrin.:

 

Glad you like it, we hope to get some more photos and batreps soon

 

these look awesome. may i ask what your armour recipe is?

 

Difficult to answer, it's constantly evolving. In essence, I nicked the white ceramite from Lorenzen (scroll down, page 4)    http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262046-lorenzens-abyss/page-4   while the olive green comes straight from the Forgeworld scheme:  https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/fw_site/fw_pdfs/Modelling/Horus_Heresy_Painting_Guide.pdf

 

However, I think I'm looking to simplify this a bit so I can paint table models quicker. The destroyers were given an additional brown/orange coat at priming stage and then AK Interactive chipping fluid applied before starting on the zentithal white. This meant that before doing the washes I was able to 'chip' off the white paint and expose the dirt underneath. Some great tutorials can be found on youtube. I would consider this again for large models and vehicles, but it's a bit intensive for line troopers. Perhaps I'll get some snaps next time I paint?

 

Some really great stuff here!

I like the way your jetbikes are banking, gives 

the illusion of speed.

 

thanks man, I angled the front fins too to help the visualisation of an in flight turn.

 

I'm bumping this thread because I happen to know there's a lot of droolworthy near-completions on Disease's workbench that deserve to see the light of day...

 

Might be waiting a while, but yes, a lot of things are nearly ready to be primed.
