I used to play death guard in the 4th edition, and that is what I'm sticking too. Unfortunately, I have to start my army from scratch, as my old one got stolen (which is why I stopped playing the first time). My painting skills are getting a little better with each model, I'm slowly getting better with Milliput, and I'm slowly becoming more satisfied with my army.

I am open to suggestions on how to improve painting /modeling on the unassembled/unpainted models, so fire all your opinions at me.

One thing I would like to make a note of is that I paint sloppy, and then fix all the details at the end (as you can see with my Daemon Prince). I also paint in an assembly line fashion.

Here is what I have done so far:

Primed 28 Marines (5 Meltas)
Painted 13 Marines (3 aspiring champions, and 1 Melta)
Painting 1 Daemon Prince
Painted 2 Death Guard Rhinos
Painting 1 Death Guard Rhino
Painting 1 Standard CSM Rhino
Assembled, Primed, and partially painted 5 terminators
Converted 2 Possessed into Plague Marines
Converted 2 Possessed into Chaos Lords
Converting 6 Terminators into Obliterators (2 complete)
Unassembled 23 Marines
Unassembled 5 possessed
Unassembled Rhino
Unassembled Dreadnought (black Reach)

Converted Obliterator





Painted Terminator



Notice the cartoony skull. I am going to implement this to all my standard CSM units.

My first attempt...im glad i chose Necrons first, regardless of the difficulty at mastering thier game...they are blessedly easy to paint and a perfect army to cut your teeth on if your a beginner...im very happy with the way they turned out.

its suggested that a simple drybrush and detail is enough to field these little hooligans...but i just couldnt stop there...so far ive finished my warriors and scarabs and now moving on to the destroyers...

-complete drybrush with chainmail
-Mithril on the armor plates and weapon "pipe" (blade edge also Mithril, chainmail blade "body")
-joints washed with black
-gauss weapon is boltgun and washed with black
-any green part ("guts", eyes, weapon) first with snot then highlighted with scorpion
-gold on the symbol
-white for "spines" (i like the "appearence" of the spine denoting rank (size/length) between the diffrent units)
-red for one of the destroyer eyes (couldnt resist)
-bases are simple sand and black (for "shadow", and because ill worry about more detailed bases with other armies...keeping it simple for now ;) )

...the "living metal" intrigued me and so i decided to keep the armor shiny and clean...as the Necron takes damage or is completely trashed...the "living metal" repairs itself (WBB)...even after millenia of hibernation the armor would begin to repair itself after it was damaged again, returning itself to a luster as if first deployed (in my mind anyway ;) )...i also opted to make the face of the Necrons more of a "mask"...as per the detail on the heads, the back of the head is as dark as the joints, the front, shiney and "alive"...i think it makes a nice touch...and of course i couldnt resist highlighting the Necron "Guts", pulsing with green....whatever...Gauss power i guess ;)...simply brilliant models!

Our existing boards... I am working on a cityscape board for our games club, the board is currently 6x4 and I have made it into modular 2x2 sections.

Our existing boards are flat and supportive so all I have to do is make the scenic terrain to go on top, here are the initial panels marked out and cut.



They all fit together in any orientation, I have to give credit to Lord of Petropolis' project for the idea of diagonal roads, as our modular terrain is on 2x2 squares I decided to stick with it and expand to fully rotatable modular terrain.

The next stage was to build up some paths, this was to hold the buildings in place (which will be on base boards to fit) when placed on the board - they also give some definition to the roads.

For this I have used cork floor boards, I will distress some of the edges as I build up the texture on the roads so that they have a ruined look.



I intend to use about a 25%/75% mix of CoD buildings cut with foamboard and have some ruined and some semi-intact buildings.
So far I have bought the basilica and manufactorium to take a look at what parts are in them - I am very pleased to see what I have avaiable and look forward to starting on the buildings - but first I need to finish the base boards.

The next stage will be to add rubble to the roads, add some texture and paint the boards. I will post pictures when there is something to look at. ]]> Project Logs Bubblematrix http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=70043 The basilisk rises. http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=70027&goto=newpost Tue, 31 Aug 2010 04:34:47 GMT Today, i have recived my 10 genestealers from ebay, to add to my starting niddys, and here are some pictures over today.

I've managed to complete the first model in the platoon and have three more sat on the Shelf of shame waiting to be finished.
These models will take some time to make thanks to my ineptitude with greenstuff but also i will be piecing them together between working on my main Chaos and ORk armies, both of which take presidence over these guys. Still the final result with my first guy is pretty good so i'll try to keep a log here of how they are doing.

I branched out from there and built a little space marine army. My painting method was simple - spray everything black, paint skulls on everything, add some bits of color, and brush bolt metal on the weapons. (okay, i put a LITTLE more work into than that, but I never really worked on improving my skills)

Eventually i lost interest and got rid of my army. I never lost complete interest in the 40k universe, I eventually got back in through the books. When Space Hulk V3 came out I dived back in, I bought 2 copies of SH-v3, but since I don't like Blood Angels, and thought the new terms where just too far beyond my skills as a painter, so I got rid of them on ebay and bought some generics. spent time hunting for bargins and buying cheap bits until I ended up with 65 terminators. YES - SIXTY-FIVE, 23 are black reach, (but none of the seargents because I thought the BR term sarg's where stupid, those little roman skirt thinkgs look dumb. IMHO) Then I bought a copy of Black Reach, a SM Battleforce, a SM Megaforce and bunch of other stuff and started to assemble my little army.

I decided not to use any existing chapter, but to base my army on the Imperiel fist with some modafications - yellow armor with white and red highlights.

The fluff - The Brootherhood are a second founding chapter based on the Imperial Fist geneseed.

After the Horus Heresy and its aftermath memebers of the Mechanicum approached Guiliman and asked that a chapter of space marines be assigned to help them seek out lost technology. Notall Mechanicum members where happy about the idea of sharing their knowledge with a chapter of SM who were loyal to there Primarch first. It was decided to found a new chapter direct from geneseed, rather than choose existing forces. The Mechanicum made carefull selection of youth from their own forgeworlds to gather the needed recruits and oversaw the creation of the new chapter with a carefull eye.

for more than a thousand years the Brotherhood waded through blood to help gather lost technology until a conflict arose between them and the Mechanicum. Many in the Mechanicum thought Space Marines where too human to ever be truly usefull and wanted the brotherhood converted into servitors - all limbs replaced with machine limbs, brains altered and so on. The Marines objected and left the service of the Mechanicum (and left various Mechanicum members dead on the way out.)

The Brotherhood Wears yellow armor in honor of Rogal Dorn, but uses white and red as hightlights. They are a non-codex chapter, althogh the codex is respected and studied, its no considered the last word on anything. The brotherhood devides into nine companies instead of 10 and each company maintains its own terminators and scouts. Once a scout has proven worthy of his armor he is taken into squad 10 or squad 9, his armor will not yet bear the aquilla - he must "earn the eagle" by an act of valour or by a long period of reliable service. Once the new space marine has earned the eagle he recives a new chestplate with the aquilla and is placed in one of the squads from 2 to 8, squad one is a veteran squad.

(this is not a tournament army, it is just a big pool of modesl from which I could draw smaller armies for games and have fun putting together and painting.)

My painting skills haven't improved from the spray-on-black days, but I am starting to practice, also i don't have a steady hand. But I promise to improve over time. so please go easy on me.

here is a link to my pictures

I wish my camera wasn't so good, it really shows how crappy my paint job is so far. The yellow I'm using needs at least another coat to look even, and lots of bits aren't painted yet. this is still very much a work in progress. I've got lots of command fugres and extra guys to paint, and haven't touched my scouts yet. ]]> Project Logs turk187 http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=69946 storm raiders wip http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=69920&goto=newpost Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:05:26 GMT this is to be a wip of my homebrew storm raiders space marine chapter, not really doing these for gaming , tried my hand at doing some background for... this is to be a wip of my homebrew storm raiders space marine chapter, not really doing these for gaming , tried my hand at doing some background for them and heres what i have came up with.

1: To showcase the models I paint, all of them belong to the Emperor. (May his name be blessed.)

2: To keep myself inspired to paint. If i have no one to show my models to, I usually loose the interest to paint, so I am hoping for a hell of C&C to keep me painting! :victory:


Ok, here is what I have painted recently, or, mostly, the Libby is a bit old, last winter I think :ok:...


Here I have a quick picture of the models I will be showing you now, in a big group picture! :victory:




Lets get stuck in with the individual ones then:





This is my Chaplain with a Jump Pack, and he is one of my favorites this far! I painted him over at my friends (Kai`n) house in a quite short moment actually, maybe 20 min, and thats the fastest one of these. The armor is a 50/50 mix of Codex Grey and Chaos black made by Kai`n for his battlesuit, and I liked it, so I used it for the armor. Nothing else really special, but I like the text written on the purity seals and those kinds of places. The red parts are there cause I want him to be part of the 7th company, not sure of what chapter yet, but possibly the Scythes of Faith, my DIY chapter.




This is my Librarian, and as you might notice his staff is broken, and I have not found the end... Damn... But what ever. I will be replacing it with something that makes it look like a Scythe probably... The armor was base coated in Regal Blue, and the Ultramarines blue was painted onto it to make it brighter. The favorite part of the model is the face in my opinion, as it is the only face that I have painted that actually looks like a face...






Ok, this is actually an old model, my first Grey Knight actually and the first time I used metalics, ever, it is the reason why the Bolt weapons I have are not Codex Grey anymore :biggrin: trust me, before last january I would not have touched any metalics, but I happened to pick up the Codex, and I also wanted a mini, so I got this one. When the shop manager asked if I had any Boltgun metal and Chainmail for it, I said no, and he gave them to me for free!!!! :biggrin: So, when I got home I tried them and this is the result, not bad IMO... I have re-painted the sword as you might notice if you compare him to older pics of him...




This is my favorite Grey Knight this far, I dont know why, but I love him! :biggrin: Painted like the guide in Codex: Daemonhunters says, the same goes for the Terminator :biggrin:


There were supposed to be pics of two other Grey Knights as well, a Justicar and a normal one... But the picture on one of them did not turn up on the web site as planned, and I cant be arsed to upload it again, as it is on the second computer, that is slow as hell, but you can see him in the group picture... The Justicar fell of his base just before the pics were taken, and I have no glue, or no metal glue, GW version, thats what I want, I will never again use some crappy glue made by some random company for my beloved minis... :mad: And the Terminator is missing his little plate that he usually has on his shoulder, it fell of when the Justicar toppled over and hit his head into him...


And here I have to of the minis that were a real pain to paint, they took five hours each, and were painted with the greatest attention ever given to a mini:




Aye, they are two Terminators from the Space Hulk boxed game, painted with my highest standards! :so_happy: I paid very much attention to the honors and the personal icongraphy on their shoulders, and they are painted to look like the ones painted like GW! Sorry for the bad picture quality...


This is what I had, originally there were maybe ten other pictures, but they were so crappy quality, so I could not just post them...

Any comments and criticism is highly welcome! And if you really are arsed to read this thread, then for the sake of the Emperor, post a comment, everyone has an opinion, and I want to hear yours, so please, dont be an lazy bastard! Just post!

Bike WIP. I have based coted the bike as i want to get the first 1 to a stage that im happy with befor i do the other 5.


Stage 2:-

Finished green stufing the Dread.

















Now the Bike.
I have painted it as fare as i can think to go. I have washed and highlited everything i could think to and started to pigment it up tho i think the pigments i have used were poo. To that end im off to the shops tomorow to get some MIG pigments to see if they will help.











Any and all help would be great.
