These are the first "new" marines I have built outside the Space Wolves I collect and I am impressed with the detail once again that GW are squeezing onto the figures.
It's so detailed it's quite easy to paint a very detailed model without actually using any fancy freehand or transfers, a great point for painters who struggle with that sort of thing.
I've not painted black armour before on marines so it was a good challenge to find some colours that worked well.
What's next well I believe it is a Tu'Shan model (Lysander in game terms), I'm still finalizing some details then I will post up the plan for that fella.
On a personal note I have been playing a few games of 40K lately with the gaming group, we have rekindled the hobby after 6 months of no action.
I have found myself playing with Terminator Lone Wolf's in my games and Fenrisian Wolves too so I shall be making and painting some of them for myself as well soon.
Anyhoo thanks for looking and your comments are always welcome

Very well done indeed, I think with all the great detail GW have laid on with these models it's all too easy to get carried away painting them and over guild what should be a sombre tone. These guys are after all kamikazes in their funeral colours.
ReplyDeleteIMO you've got it spot on, I particularly like the effect you managed on the red of the power fist, tabards and weapons.
Thanks mate I a appreciate the comments.
ReplyDeleteIt seems the Red is getting all the attention do I shall share what I did:
Base: Mechrite red
Shade: Devlan mud
Highlight: Bloody red (vallejo)
Highlight: Blazing orange
That's all it takes.
