+++Space Marines Outpost+++


Recommended Posts

 

Since some of us are posting updates on their progress, here's mine:

I somehow feel that after I'm done with the Marshal, the remaining 5 Marines are just a formality... even though they outnumber him five to one. Although I treat all my models the same way, HQs somehow always tend to take up more of my time.

Man!

I really love the face.

Very nice done.

Are the crosses decals or freehand?

Thanks for the recognition and kind words! I must admit, the face turned out nice, considering my usual skills! Everything I do is freehand; I used decals only a couple of times on my vehicles. Basically since the very beginning, I have committed to painting all chapter and/or crusade iconography myself - admittedly, to varying success.

Some amazing vows in here - and especially some very inspiring progress and the first completions being made! Wow! I need to get going now...

...and to only name a few of the last page:

 

Kisada, that is one fine and crisp layer of painted metal. Incredible.

Tankus Wokus, that's an incredible paint scheme - and you deliver it so damn well. I am highly impressed.

Brother Cristopher, the Marshall could stare down an Eldar Fleet or Tyranid Horde with ease... I like how his halfway relaxed, but really tense pose delivers this feeling of "Oh :cuss".

 

Honda, I'll definitely follow your progress! I was always intrigued to see how those shoulders will look on an Imperial Knight.

Kierdale, I want to see close-ups of their stubble! And a handy guide, if you would tell me tricks of your trade. ;)


TO EVERYONE WHO IT MAY CONCERN:


I know how stubborn we all probably are and how much we can do in the last few days of the ETL, when the pressure is high and the nights are long, BUT...
 

This is a long hunt ...and we don't want to see the simple men and women of the Imperium, the disgusting Xenos or the elderly Historians of an Age long gone win! Especially not the damned Traitors and their foul creatures!

 

So chip away at your vow, if in any way possible!
Any Bolter, Marking or Face painted today, is one you do not need to paint tomorrow!
Look into the Threads of your Brother-Astartes' Chapters for Inspiration and Motivations!
Compliment, Advise and Critique where you can! This is a joined effort.

 

Most of all: We all are HIS Space Marines... and we shall know no fear!

RikuEru, the stubble/shaving is not too difficult. I went by Duncan’s video tutorial from some time back:

Basically Lamian Medium and a light grey mix, glazed over the skin you’ve already painted. Build it up with coats as necessary. It looks like grey-glazed-over-skin up really close :D but for the tabletop it’s very good. :tu:

Edit: previous examples...

Not a huge vow by any means, but I'm strapped for time.

 

Welcome Decimus Felix, much needed reinforcements at a time where the SMs seem to be running out of steam... Good luck mate! :tu:

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

I've initiated recruitment in the WIP subforum. If anyone else wants to join in feel free to do so, though please avoid bogging down threads in ETL recruitment propaganda as it will put people off! :tu:

Thanks for pointing it out Dwarfin87. Your vow was registered in my spreadsheet but not on the first page here... I guess I was anxious to get everything in place for the weekly update, I forgot to do proper procedure (i.e. first update the first page, then the spreadsheet). :blush.:

 

It should be ok now! :thumbsup:

TDA bases are decalled and weathered...

med_gallery_63428_11269_1354491.jpeg

...and have legs attached...

med_gallery_63428_11269_90189.jpeg

...next is adding Mars dust to both.

After that I just need to airbrush the weapons and the squad is done.

I like those bases, where are they from? I’m looking for some starship deck plating type bases for an Inquisitorial warband I’m planning.

Thanks.

They’re not bought, though. I make them myself with thick card, wire...the grating is from a hardware store (used for gardening. It’s crappy cheap plastic but takes paint if the base coat is sprayed on) and bits (bolts, grills) from bits-makers here in Japan. I must do a thread about them sometime as likely they’re available online.
