I've got too many space marines lying around the house, some are destined for eBay, but I don't wanna sell everything, not to forget that I dont wanna sell my older brothers 2k BA army.


So, I've gotten all my unpainted / half painted space marines together, and have managed to get this list done, with still loads of things i could add in case i paint to fast :D


So, the list (because this is the BA list, things like smoke launchers etc. come with the unit entry):

Angels Cruor 1.5k:

4th Company

EDIT! new list:


HQ:

Captain Lucius Vandeas: Dante Rules
200pts

Elites:

Death Company (no elites slot taken): 2x extra members, 6x jump packs
85pts

Dreadnought Titus: Venerable, Plasma cannon, smoke launchers, searchlight, extra armour
180pts

Veteran Assault Squad Damaris: 5 extra marines, 1x power fist, 2x pair of lighting claws

C&C welcome



Tepok

Squad Vadias are my first squad to get painted:




The sergeant is what the scheme is going to look like, without the black helmet (sergeants only)


Tepok

Nice list there dude, a powerful CC force you got there. You planning conversions for the captain and chaplain or using the dante and lemartes models?

The sergeant looks good, looking forward to seeing the finished squad

Maelstrom

I thought BA operated on Dark Angel grounds these days so no 5 man maxed out weapon squads?

Close ups! I demand close ups!

And then a brief run down of how you done the red!

Pretty nifty looking force-list there, definatly in-character as far as BA goes!

Painted 1 guy up, I've changed the tone of the red a bit, so the Sergeant will need re painting.

Aright, run down of the red:

Merchite red base (with a bit of water), 1:1 Mix Blood Red & Merchite Red (with a bit of water), then a 2:1 mix of blood red & merchite red (with a bit of water), then 3:1 mix of blood red & merchite red.

the last 2 layers should look like this:





Then paint the rest :P


And the actual marine, with tactical squad marking and chapter symbol:










C&C welcome


Tepok

I'm assuming you're doing the Chapter and Squad markings that way around because the direction the Chapter symbol goes in.

Got 3 more done :D

And yes Keravin, im doing them the way im doing them in :P
They aren't 5 man squads, they are BA squads with 5 extra men (so 5 basic, 5 extra).























C&C welcome


Tepok

Misread the list. So used to seeing 5 men on lists :) Codex is good.

blood angels are papsmear

And so are you ;)



Got 1 more done, 5 man squad read! :D ...





All I need to do is paint the other 5 and I've reached this months point limit



Tepok

Quick work, they look good too, my only crit is that the decals look a bit rough, this could be fixed with some decal setting solution like Microsol or Microset.

Good list too. Good luck with the rest of them :D

Hmm.. I shall try and get something like that.


Just realised that I mis calculated, the Vet assault marines cost 360, which means I'll have to drop the predator. Instead I've given las cannons to the 2 tactical squads for long range tank busting.

New guy and grenade guy (also new):




C&C welcome


Tepok

jeez you paint fast, looking good dude you'll have this months squad finished in no time the way your going.

on the flash front, the pictures have come out good

Maelstrom

Sweet

I really like your red mate just the way i imagen BA's or there succsor chapter's :)
and i like the battle damage you've added as well
awesome mate!

Yay, talk about timing... 220pts done, I hope to get more stuff done, si I'm going to make this into a general imperial log, as I kinda want all my imp. stuff painted, which is around 4-5k points <_<

Anyway, red comes out in these pics as flat as hell, i'll get some better ones on the weekend.








C&C welcome


Tepok

How did you make the transfers lie flat?

Lovely effect from the plasma coils there! How did you go about doing that? And very nice squad as well, keep it up!

very nice looking squad there dude, and i agree with TheGrizz the plasma coils look ace.

Really liking the coil effect. I might lessen the lighting on the eye so you can see a little more green.

Flat transfers on marines are a pain! (just ask my ultramarines, they are blue from all the foul language thrown at them trying to achive the impossible flat transfer without having to cut them!).

Tell me about it. Nice curved shoulder pads and flat transfers do not co-exist!

thanks guys :)

I've figured out how to do the transfers smoothley, add some varnish onto the area you want to put the transfer on first, put the transfer on second, varnish again (I used 'ard coat).



Tepok

Very nice man.

Hey those tacticals came out really nicely! I'm impressed by anyone who painted red marines. red is the bane of my existence...

Right, IG, DH and WH have joined this thread under AD's permission, as I don't have enough time to paint two armies at once.

Therefore, for this month, I'll just post these 3 Russes I painted somtime at the beginning of this month, in my IG thread:














C&C welcome


Tepok

Looking awesome, looks like you've put a lot of work into them!

Part of this months units will be a thudd gun / nebelwerfer battery, and 3 mortar teams:

Lots of mould lines still... I hates them so much..









These two guys need a bit of GSing around their hands:



C&C welcome

Tepok

Loving the Nebelwerfer and crew.

Thats a brilliant yet simple conversion, like to see how you've done the chassis

I'll get a tutorial up as soon as I start building the next one ;)


Tepok

Awsome gaurd conversions! I really need to get my arse in gear and make my guard a bit more interesting!

AR

Nebelwerfer looks brilliant :)
