So, I had assembled a few bitz and pieces that were awaiting an undercoat of Chaos Black followed by a dry-brush of 'Night Reapers' blue ;-)
3 Veteran Devastator Squads 'Count-as' Long Fangs,
3 Lone Wolves that are actually going to be part of 3rd Company but that had the good fortune to be sitting on my painting tray,
I haven't decided how much of my Tech-Marine will be in the traditional red colour so I've just given him a dry-brush all over and I'll paint over any parts I don't want in chapter colours in whatever shade of red I finally decide on,
Huron as 'Vulkan' seems to have been in the wars since I last dug him out and his spear arm has managed to both fall off and break. I'm not sure I liked the original that I made anyway,
It seems that I'd started to paint him anyway so he might not take as long as I thought he might. His cloak* actually looks better than I remembered so that bit will be staying.* Which you can't seen in the picture which is a shame as It's the bit with the most painting done, lol.
In addition, what would a Space Marine Chapter be without a fleet of ships to get it to places so it can get shit done,
Most of these have been bought cheaply 2nd hand and re-painted, which explains the odd selection of vessels. Since I'm only making their fleet for my own satisfaction then I don't suppose it matters how much of it is a 'legal' list. In fact I suppose the random nature of the vessel selection is only to be expected with a bunch of renegades...Tomorrow evening will be spent completing the rest of the basic details on the Long Fangs and maybe a bit of work on 'Vulkan' if I have any time left.
Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
I really like the dull metallic look these guys have. I hate to sound dumb, but what did you do to get that look?
ReplyDeleteI really like the teminators, that fine line between chaos and codex. looking forward to seeing some progress on those.
ReplyDelete@ Loquacious - No Problem, sharing information is why we blog isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's a mixture of Ultramarines Blue and Boltgun Metal which I then dry-brush on heavily rather than 'paint' it on. I couldn't tell you the exact quantities as I mix each batch to match the previous one but it's roughly a pot of Ultramarines Blue to half a pot of Boltgun metal.
Hope that helps.
@ TheDogmata - Thanks. I'll be working on them after I've made some progress on 'Vulkan' and the Long Fangs.
