brother tycho

Hey beaky novel idea this 'leadweight' total, its enjoyable to see that number reduce. I could enjoy auditing what's in my pile, will hold that thought and report back. Earlier this year I was on this footing and cashed in 6k of backlog, traded a good 50 models, but didn't update a spreadsheet that I was using to work out a painting debt - scary believe me

So the project has morphed into a 30k army but the ambition remains, few refresher models I painted recently

Wulf Vengis - those heavy bolters are off the MKIII horus heresy sprue Gots some yellow to share with everyone - here's the first squad toward the company - 9th squad devestators. These are really an up-gunned tactical squad in practice, being pressed into service by command with predictable frequency. The character of the squad has developed in kind, with a workman like blunt and intractable approach, the unit wades into enemy strength to trade firepower against grit and armoured plate.

Happy easter everyone. I’ve managed to get this dev squad sorted, enjoyed being able to break out some red for a sergeants helmet, trying out some miniature chain during modelling, and having a go at zone mortalis style bases. Luck to everyone in bringing something in toward their vows – and cheers again Dos for another good honest imp fist painting event. More pics of these marines in my WIP thread ‘project 100’ if your interested.

congrats to those with a finished vow already, and keen to see progress from Dosjetka's desktop - thanks for getting this event happening again dos. thought id share some tinkering around on shields toward my vow, wouldnt want to overuse counters/shields but a few for interest might work out

Check out Mengel miniatures tutorial, its a really nice yellow.. Mengel Miniatures: TUTORIAL "CLASSIC": Imperial Fists

beep: acknowledge incoming comms relay - reinforcements will be requisitioned... I, brother tycho, vow in the name of Rogal Dorn and the imperial fists to complete two devastator squads by 24th April 2022. For Dorn, Terra, and the Emperor!

great stuff man, im inspired

inspiring, love seeing the deep red blood angels in their 2nd ed style

unreal goodness, man that does some to fire my nostalga of conan, what a fusion to theme space marines - your creativity is fluid

few new marines toward the dev sqd. the theme is cautiously moving through an urban space, just supporting or scouting ahead of the heavy weapon squad members. i've added a primaris on the right just to establish the scale these are being built to.

Galron - hope i can offer some motivation toward your own minators company Smoke Frog - yes that image precisely describes my goal, do love they took the time to represent mixed marks of power armour, credit codex space marines 2008 thanks for your comments guys. this was a bit of a warmup batch, the rest of the squad to get to work on, but these were fun to paint. ok ive gotta reign thigs in, gee its hard to keep the weathering effects subtle once your started, but im happy with the candy yellow brightness which i want to kindof focus more on, games workshop style sortof. ninth squad devistators are depicted, performing close fire support and leading from the front they are treated more as a tactical squad in the 5th comp. like a fatigued and over used favourite brush, command redeploys the squad in this role, but privileged access to the armoury is given in return. we can see a preference for the heaviest plate, as well as the compact drum fed heavy bolter of rare heresy era provenance. service studs can be observed, this is contrary to less experienced brothers holding devistator positions, but perhaps a billet in the ninth squad is desirable for the high level of deployment it sees. use of optics is less common, as these men are often at the bald face of action.

few heavy bolters to warm up on, these were mostly gw mkiii plastics very nice, reclaimed ebay buy, they even came with fist upgrade shoulder pads. anyway think advancing cautiously, mkiii issued for heavy armour protection for short fire support, have a feeling any list could start with these guys

Brothers, here's my thread for fans of classic marines, yellow armour and upscaling. premise - are there others out there that ever craved a full company? does anyone else still prefer the power armour styles now termed classic (not to mention have drawers full of it)? Some of the thoughts that will guide this build - models will be upscaled to match primaris scale - mkX should have been just another mark! - aiming for passive, alert, realistic posing, been in the field a few weeks not on a parade - want bright comic colours with a suggestion of weathering - aiming for standard company composition - 6x tac, 2x dev, 2x ast - mix and match mkII - mkV armour for flavour around a core of mkVI & mkVII - sgt name and background fluff for each sqd - fifth company yellow black scheme, red and green spot colours for interest - timeframe of a year so the question as always, can i walk the walk, or as Dorn would say bare the gauntlet..
