Tactical WIP and test

Test tactical marine is complete.  I decided to roll with purple eye lenses.  Ordinarily, I'd run blue eyes on yellow power armor, but I feel the purple works well with the red crest.  I think the blue would have conflicted and I was really trying to avoid a rediculous primary color marine with red, blue and yellow. 

Lysander Complete

Lysander is done!  Well, he's done, but his base will need a bit more.  I'll throw some basing on and call it a day.  I'm going to hit him with testers dull coat before I do anything else.  The red crest on his back is super sensitive to touch.  A slight nudge and the red comes right off. 

Tfire Techmarine WIP

 

 

If you've seen one Tfire techmarine, you've seen em all.  I think I've squared off against at least 50 angry techmarines that have recently lost their best pal thunderfire cannon to enemy fire...   needless to say folks...  they're usually out for vengeance.  God help us all if its big guns never tire and they're scoring angry vengeful techmarines! 

Yellow - Nightmare or Challenge?



I've heard horror stories of painting white, red and yellow power armor and I wonder if it has nothing to do with the painting method or even the colors themselves, but the sheer amount of negative area on a regular space marine?  I'm about to find out.  A lot of folks like me that like the hobby and the game in equal measure are really torn when it comes to complicated paint schemes; on one hand I want to have awesome and masterfully painted models, and on the other I want to get those models on the table as soon as possible.

Lysander WIP

 

I was really impressed with the Asterion Moloc forgeworld model but who wants to build and paint a whole minotaurs army?  wierd!  After I wore down the minotaur icons with my file, greenstuffed up some really obvious mino references and applied some copper Imperial Fist icons, the model was ol captn' lysander!  I've got some work to do on his base; I'm going to file and greenstuff up the ground behind his back leg and make him a bit more dynamic and less "suspended"looking.

My Take On New Blood Angels

By: Norbu the Destroyer

After two years of playing the current 40k I finally ventured into running a Marine army. I’ve dabbled with wolves, and I’ve proxied vanilla marines, but I’ve actually given Blood Angels some serious thought and play. Now my view may be skewed as it will be from the eyes of someone who has almost exclusively run Necrons and Daemons, but hopefully it will give you some insight into GW’s latest codex. I have not used all the entries of the codex so I will touch on entries I have had experience with.
