WestRider Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I love that sculpt. Great job with it! Definitely worthy of ensuring the spiritual purity of your dudemans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted June 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Thanks! I was originally going to forget the orange off the armor but when I sat and looked at the figure, I just couldn't deal with it. Made the base look dead. So did my best to dry brush orange to at least give some sort of source lighting even though the purity seals would all burn up that close to lava. I'll just say they are animal skin or something that could take a little heat :D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I seem to remember a bit from somewhere saying that they sometimes use more durable materials than wax and paper for purity seals on armour that's actually going into battle, as opposed to ceremonial duties. Like, ceramite levels of more durable materials. Materials that don't even notice something like a little bit of lava ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter c Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I like the guy with the melta gun. He looks like he's screaming "This is NOT my helmet!! Who grabbed my FREAKING HELMET?!?" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted July 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Heh, yeah that's kind of what I thought. especially since he has a bionic eye which would NOT fit that helmet. Here is yet another man for my pile: Also, I think I've contracted model paint poisoning or something because I've got 12 more guys I am starting tomorrow. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Aren't BA Vets supposed to have gold helmets instead of the yellow that the Assault Squads have? I'm just sayin', those are some pretty shiny dudemans, but they could be shinier 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just sayin', those are some pretty shiny dudemans, but they could be shinier 😄 3rd edition veteran assault Marines had yellow helmets. Most of my paint schemes try to follow the 2nd/ 3rd edition theme (black bordered shoulder pads and whatnot). I made some modifications on it like my main company has silver chest plates vs yellow and such. But I've adapted it so that any Battle company Marines get codex standard ( red rimmed shoulders) but have 3rd edition chest eagles (orange/yellow). Gold will probably go on my sternguard since veteran Marine squads used to just have red helmets and stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Now you mention it, I think it was actually Command Squads that got the gold helmets, back before Sanguinary Guard were a thing. It's been quite a while since I really looked at the BA heraldry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 If it's an issue, could just do them all without helmets... I do like how your helmetless models have been turning out. You definitely have those eyes down. I fail way too often at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Oh, maybe my eyes are just getting worse, but there's something off about the level of focus in some of the shots above.

It's just my phone's camera so focus can be off sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 So endith my 2018 painting binge. I still have plenty of other things to paint (side eyes on these Primaris and Horus Heresy stuff) but at least I made a good dent in my stack: 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
