Hey folks,

 

as some might know, WH Conquest has finally been released in Germany. So I decided to try my hand at some Primaris Space Marines. I'm sort of painting along with issues, though I'm not superfast and might get sidetracked from time to time. To be honest, I already sorta am, I'm painting a warhound for the "Titans of the Heresy" event here.

 

Anyways - the Primaris will be standard 2nd company, although I plan to use them as sort of the personal guard of Tetrarch Felix, so the gold is more of a general Ultramarines signifier than standard 2nd company markings. 

 

Well then, let's see how far I get with these, shall we?

 

Here's the first one:

 

2nd one is already work in progress. 

 

Got any comments, critique or a question?

Hey what is Warhammer Conquest? Your painting work looks good, love the skin color.

That is really nice, I especially like the blue. The lighting on it is superb.

Also thanks to both of you.

Excellent painting!

That's some great painting. Reminds me of the sketch style... Kind of like what trovarion does for example...

It's pretty similar, yeah. It's a way of highlighting that's pretty popular with a lot of the bigger names in painting currently. I learned that from Cult of Paint at one of their workshops last year. It's pretty neat and not overly hard to do. It just takes time... :/

I thought I might add some rather bad WIP pics - bad, because these are snapshots, I didn't bother adjusting the lighting.

 

My second Intercessor is coming along nicely and will be finished soon. I'm still trying to find shortcuts to get standard troops out faster while having a similar look to characters and sergeants, which get a bit more love. 

 

 

I've also kitbashed and did some super-minor conversion on two more of those snapfit Intercessors, so that together with Calsius they form a nice little squad of 5 Intercessors and one Lieutenant.

And the second Intercessor is done - got 3 more lined up on my desk already. Somehow I'm not liking the pictures though - they seem off compared to the wip picture. What do you think?

 

[Kenzaburo]

I finished another Intercessor about two weeks ago and forgot to post him here - he's a kitbash of a snapfit Primaris with hand swaps and some classic marine bitz added.

 

 

I'll post another one probably tomorrow.

Thanks, mate.

Very nice! What do you use for the weathering on the boots? AK Streaking Grime?

@Ranulf Actually it's nothing fancy. Just some thinned down Mournfang Brown that I also use on the bases. Thin it down to a glaze and do 2-3 layers of it and you're golden.

Currently working on the 3 snapfit Reivers - their heads are almost done. Wow, those recessed eyes are incredibly tiny. 

 

Anyways, I feel like this should do:

 

Got the aforementioned Intercessor almost done, too, but it might take till next week for me to finish it.
