Scythes of the Emperor; the few left


Johanhgg

Recommended Posts

Im mostly in to primaris now, but i have tons of little brothers laying in various boxes and such. My wife recently realized how MANY models ive tried to hide away. I had a lot of explaining to do.

 

The result of that conversation was that no more models is to be bought before i paint the 100+ old marines. Ok. These marines will be the Scythes of the Emperor. I imagine the time for the chapter is before getting reinforced by primaris. Heavily dwindling in numbers and currently engaged in hit and run-attacks/salvation-missions against various hivefleets. These activities is reflected on the miniatures as well as Army-choices. A small core of troop-choices and several sternguard/tyrannic war veterans to begin with. The bases reflects boarding-action in a stealer-infested space hulk.

 

Comment as you please, good or bad!

Great job! Scythes of the Emperor are a really cool chapter, its cool seeing some being painted up!

Thank you! Yes im fascinated by chapters in the struggle. And those hit and run-salvation missions inside Hive-Ships to gather lost geneseed and equipment from brothers gone is a crazy and brave thing to do.

 

I thank you brother for your comment and more progress will be made tonight!

How are you doing the weathering ?

Hey man!

 

Its i mixture of teqnicues. The back is done first with regular basecoat, shading, highligthing etc.

- then lightly sponge dawnstone, rhinox hide and leadbelcher to get worn effect.

- A Vallejo mud-wash in some recesses is applied - lastly typhon corrosion at the feet/lower legs.

- transfers is sponge with black if they are placed in the black armour, averland sunset if they’re placed on yellow parts of the armour

 

Weathering Yellow is done by

-multiple layers of seraphim sepia in recesses,

- lightly sponging Uriel yellow to achieve highlights of next step which is sponging rhinox hide

-carefully paint leadbelcher in some of the bigger splotches of rhinox hide letting some of the brown show.

- some models have splashes of blood for the blood for the blood god

 

Typhus corrosion is sponged on weapon and maybe hands/elbows. All metal is washed with Devlan mud.

 

I hope I gave you some ideas!

The yellow and the effect of battle demage in the paint and the bases makes your marines really cinematographic. Olso that glow effect in the lenses...superb.

Thank you! Really Appreciate it! Ive been sidetracked by my white scars and Raptors but will return soon to these!
