Jam Master Flex Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Hey all, Some of you may know me from the Imperial Guard sub forum. I got back into the hobby at the beginning of 2017 having not done anything for 20 years nearly. Any how I've finished my guard army and decided I really ought to paint up my 2k or so primaris marines I've purchased since they were first announced. I've decided to try to recreate the Smurfs army I poorly painted as a young teenager in the mid late 90s, using old marine helmets as a homage. I'm aiming for a core army of marines painted like so: http://i.imgur.com/kPQvVF7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/e3puNdD.jpg And then for the rest of the army I'm thinking of painting combat squads as successors, with the new Calgar to lead them. Hoping to use this as a bit of motivation! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Master Flex Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thanks for the kind words guys. I managed to get my combat squad leader finished, and I've made a start on the Silver Skulls contingent of my army: http://i.imgur.com/T5V0ZDi.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5W8fQ2i.jpg I'm thinking Silver Skulls, Sons of Guilliman and Sycthes of the Emperor for the rest of my army. Really enjoying painting something with colour after spending the past year painting Cadians! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Master Flex Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Thanks for the kind words lads. This week's progress: http://i.imgur.com/ClPXANe.jpg Done the freehand squad markings on the silver Skulls squad, and got all the base coats down etc, made a start on basing. For the ultras I've still got a ton to do but I keep switching between them and the silver Skulls to keep me interested. Also treated myself to a redemptor Dreadnought as I don't have one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam Master Flex Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 So I'm still working on the dreadnought, but I've taken a break from it to get through the mind numbing task of batch painting. I've managed to get 10 marines and 5 hellblasters basecoat with 4 colours on each, then next week I intend to do the highlights etc. Did a test recipe of using Altdorf guard blue for my first layer after base, I normally do Macragge>50/50Macragge/Calgar>Calgar>Fenrisian>Blue Horror. On this one it's replacing the Macragge Calgar mix: http://i.imgur.com/i4ku6Ol.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joukernaut Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 For some reason your other blue looks more vibrant. I must admit ai like both variants, your painting looks awesome. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
