Iv done a little bit of work recently using blues, into nearly white to create this effect on grav cannons. I am tempted to heavily contrast the helmet with bright colours to represent some glowing light etc emitting from the all the data processing units in the HUD. The helmet/visor is where I can give the model a bit more of a personality. Finally, I added the typical Sunbreaker regalia with the crest (Techmarine style) and the cloak.Īgain the theme with this model is to generally be cold and intimidating by being heavy on metals and black. The other interesting feature was the helmet, at this stage I can’t remember the inspiration but still looks just fine. I had to add the power axe as its in his wargear. Then the plasma cutter and flamer have just been slapped on, its a little unprofessional but I don’t think those who follow the machine god care too much. Iv added an extra servo arm (harness) from random bits I found, its a little Doctor Octopus style. He has been heavily converted from the 3rd or 4th edition Techmarine. I hope to complete the model in the week, but no guarantee on when I will get the pictures here. The dark colours create an ominous presence, and metal is cold, which emphasises that point. I want to keep the model dark and metallic to create a contrast between the near white armour of the infantry. The model is painted in in metals and black mainly. Finally, these marines cannot be modelled with cloaks, thus their story is that as a junior in the Chapter they haven’t earned the cloak yet, thus paint their armour red in hopes of achieving the cloak one day. Secondly, actually the model is incomplete- I need to model the crests of the Marines inside. In addition, I have used a couple magnets for safety and ease of transport. So I threw a base together using some spare bits lying around. This model is ancient, in the region of 16 years old, and so the original base has been lost. They are a ton of fun and so its only fair that I get a lick of paint on them to carry out the Emperors work.įirstly is the Land Speeder.
Alas, recently I’ve turned my attentions to getting my Space Marines completed.
There are million reasons I could use to justify the lack of any hobby progress, but I’ll put it down to laziness.
