[L.E.J.]

link is great, thanks

sorry not been around, nipper really been unwell.

any wips yet?

 

[Cleezy]

Yea jericho is really good, has some great models.

Hope the young un is ok.

I have the high elf built but i need a larger base for the idea i have and havent managed to root one out, but its ready to be undercoated though i mite start painting the individual pieces.

As for Pre-heresy marines nothin yet xmas destroyed my bank account

 

[Cleezy]

Ps anything on your luna wolves yet?

 

[L.E.J.]

as long as santa is kind (n the missus has been listenin!) should have all i need to start on the luna wolves tomorrow

will post some wip\'s and some test painty schemes on soon so u can let me know what u think.

hope u have nice christmas

 

[Cleezy]

Yea i hope you enjoy your christmas too, and it will be cool to see the luna wolves when you get round to them.

I will undercoat the High elf wednesday or thursday probs, then get the Wip up. Just got a uni essay to write before i can give it my 100% attention

 

[L.E.J.]

uni essays!! been there n dont envy u!

slight delay on the wips as the nipper still not well but gettin little bits odne (hence the time)

should have a paint test up soon, hope all is well

 

[Cleezy]

Yea they are a pain but have to be done, nearly done the main one then can get the undercoat on my elves and start painting the two separate bits from there the WiP will be born

Look forward to the Luna wolves shame about the young one though, hopefully we will both finally get round to some painting. I think the 7th to the 21st will be time where i can get some serious amounts done.

Are you reading the 6th heresy book yet?

 

[L.E.J.]

have basecoated the test model n starting the base coat. have done some surfing and think im gonna try
shadow grey
codex grey/chaos black
codex grey
space wolves grey/codex grey
space wolves grey
skull white/space wolves grey
skull white

do u mean descent of angels? have read it but didnt really get into it as much as the others to be honest.

what do u think of it?

 

[Cleezy]

Yea that list seems like a good idea for the luna wolves, be good to see them.

I have sterted reading it but as you said im not to sure about it, and i was looking forward to it the most, bein a dark angel fan, bu its got better as iv got thru it mite need to read it further though.

Cant wait for new year thats when im making my models from the heresy hopefully

 

[L.E.J.]

i know what u mean, bein a dark angels fan i found a bit dissapointin but it wasnt too bad.

cant wait 2 see the emp\'s children, have now given a coat of shadow grey so cant tell yet whether i like it or not but when theres a few more coats on will get the piccies on.

 

[Cleezy]

Yea it will be cool to see the luna wolves.

I think first up will be an attempt on the death guard as i haven\'t fully worked out what colours im gona use for the emp\'s kids.

Next week i will have them bought and WiP\'s there after

 

[Bengoodall]

And about bloody time to!

The suspense has been killing me

 

[Cleezy]

Haha i do apologise. Feel some pressure mount here as its been a long time since i painted.

The arm feels good though and i hope there shouldnt be many issues, jus been lookin around for some bits that mite make them look a little more pre heresy, u any ideas?

should be fun to paint tho, Eidolon Tarvitz and lucius will be my emp children characters.

And i will Garro\'s squad for death guard.

wonder what i could do next lol.

rivets and tubing on the torso, legs and shoulder pads:

 

[L.E.J.]

@ freakinacage, very nice model, love the rivets on the legs. what did u use for them?

heres the base of my first luna wolf (not painted yet and may well put the rivets on)

general look

re paint scheme:
not gonna use the shadow grey as it seemed too blue as opposed to grey to the rest.

 

[Cleezy]

@ freakincage- Loving the way you have portrayed them, as L.E.J said what did you use for the rivets? i was gona use the studded shoulder guard idea but was thinking of really simplifying the armour, to resemble just the plates.

I guess its back to the visions book lol.

@L.E.J- Looking good a few bits look as though they need a little more cleaning but so far looking cool. I have set myself a schedule firstly i hope to have the High elf Wip up monday(wednesday latest) and then i will be gettin bits for my emperors children then the death guard

 

[mark.k]

i think they are just small brass nails like the ones here

[Cleezy]

Cheers mark the link was real useful, think they are just small pins. Gona use them i think in small quantities on mine

 

[L.E.J.]

yeah the link is very useful. gonna use the idea for my luna wolves, thanks.

have used a technique on the first marine that i havent used before: head stubble!

what do u think?

ps - the colour scheme on the rebreather is gonna go lighter but thinkin maybe only to space wolves grey, will post another piccie later to get ur thoughts

luna wolves head:

The skin is really good looks very smooth and very realistic.

Unsure so far on the stubble hair as the pics arent the best, so far tho lookin nice but if u can get a better angle. Will b able to tell better.

And i think if the rebreather is the colour of the armour then u have it spot on, tho i would use the space wolves very sparsely. very thin layer.

Looks good just need to get my act together
