Yup, but never mind! Will stop any fan boy fluff nazi's whining that it's a mixed list, There will be fluff to go with the captain riding a jet bike etc have no fear!
Brush Your Teeth - January 3, 2008 10:43 AM (GMT)
Looking forward to this, will the captain be using that DA special character or will you be converting something for it? (or will you be converting the DA guy :P)
BYT
charlie_c67 - January 3, 2008 03:24 PM (GMT)
No it will be Sammeul pretty much unconverted. Though when I get round to doing his retinune for Apoc games, they will be heavily converted!
charlie_c67 - January 6, 2008 10:25 PM (GMT)
And so AD can find/move this thread...Here's the colour scheme...
charlie_c67 - January 13, 2008 08:27 PM (GMT)
Veterans schemes

Keravin - January 13, 2008 08:29 PM (GMT)
The turquoise is certainly different. Should be interesting.
charlie_c67 - January 13, 2008 08:35 PM (GMT)
Yeah it's meant to be ice blue...
schoolcormorant - January 13, 2008 10:00 PM (GMT)
I like it, a lot.
Turquoise would be cool tho mate!

Turquoise should look awsome! Pretty cool sounding chapter, when will the test figs be painted?

Angel Robertson - January 24, 2008 08:21 PM (GMT)

Thanks, shame my skull freehand wasn't as successful. Think I know where I went wrong though.

Guy on the left. Hopefully I'll improve before I start on the Chapter master bodyguards storm shields later this year.
Keravin - January 24, 2008 11:37 PM (GMT)
Ah right. Just looks like it needs a bit more body at the top of the skull. Hadn't spotted the Iron Hands use before.
charlie_c67 - January 25, 2008 12:03 AM (GMT)
Yup, Templer and DA bits for Tac marines, Wolf and Ravenwing bits for assault, and fists and skulls for devs. Everyone else gets a mix really.
schoolcormorant - January 25, 2008 01:55 AM (GMT)
Lovely stuff Charlie :)

Seconded. These are really nice, especially the colour schemeand how you've carried it out so successfully. :)
charlie_c67 - January 30, 2008 12:07 AM (GMT)
Lil bit more GS work.

On another note the interview didn't go too badly :)
charlie_c67 - January 31, 2008 02:08 AM (GMT)
Well, done some painting for the first time in ages due to a nightmare esasy that's going no-where. Pleased to say the first of the new termi's is almost finished. Just some tidying to do and he'll be ready to show here. Though I will need some help, any idea what colour eyes I should do when the helmet is ice blue? Need somethng that'll stand out!
hiveminion - January 31, 2008 03:29 PM (GMT)
Good to hear you've picked your brush up again mate! As for the eyes, first thing that comes to my mind is red. That'd contrast well with light blue.
charlie_c67 - January 31, 2008 03:44 PM (GMT)
Was thinking of perhaps doing a different colour lens for each one in the squad. However, for this first one I have done yellow to try it. But I'll keep red in mind for the next helmeted one. Pics later this evening.
titan136 - January 31, 2008 04:39 PM (GMT)
these look fantastic charlie, great highlights and neat painting. i'm going to reserve judgement on the veterans helm colors until I see them though
charlie_c67 - January 31, 2008 11:02 PM (GMT)
Well as promised, here's a pic...



Don't you just love the way the macro brings out the tiny bits you missed but couldn't see?
hiveminion - February 1, 2008 12:08 PM (GMT)
Looks good, the blue works surprisingly well in my opinion. Pose looks great too. :)
schoolcormorant - February 2, 2008 12:24 AM (GMT)
Very nice :) i like the bluee too
SC
titan136 - February 2, 2008 04:37 AM (GMT)
ooo i like the space wolf torso on the terminator
charlie_c67 - February 2, 2008 01:47 PM (GMT)
Yeah, that was a bit of a pain in the [arse] to fit. Used
this tutorial from the french website. The result was reasonable but hopefully as my skills inprove I'll get better with the green.
titan136 - February 2, 2008 03:42 PM (GMT)
did you use the black templar french tutorial or was there one specificially for space wolves?
charlie_c67 - February 2, 2008 05:57 PM (GMT)
I used the French one, well the pics anyway, but used a SW breastplate instead of a tabard one. Plus a bit of GS to cover the gaps.
scrubout - February 4, 2008 03:54 AM (GMT)
Glad to see you haven't dropped this chapter Charlie, I've been a fan of the few mini's you've posted of them since the get-go. Good luck with BoB!
Freehand symbols, more ballsy then me by far.

charlie_c67 - March 2, 2008 11:52 PM (GMT)
Right then people. I am officially now part of Bob properly (famous last words) This month I will mostly be painting termi's. 11 in fact. Though all one needs is a new sheild and arm so I guess he doesn't count really....Anyway, 3 CC termi's 6 shooty ones and a special one. Watch this space...
charlie_c67 - March 9, 2008 11:56 PM (GMT)
Hmmm, update pic didn't get put up for some reason. so here it is again...
schoolcormorant - March 10, 2008 03:28 AM (GMT)
Those look sooo neat, you're really improving mate
SC
charlie_c67 - March 14, 2008 12:47 AM (GMT)
Well here is some more porgress, interesting to see what is and isn't in focus! Not sure how much I'll get done this weekend but hey ho. More to come no doubt!
hiveminion - March 16, 2008 12:26 PM (GMT)
Haven't commented for a while, those terminators are coming along great mate! I'm very interested as to what that special terminator might be...
Oh! And happy birthday and such. :D
