Hi All
Bluddtoof here with another new addition to my Space Marine Chapter; The Thunderbolts.
This is my new Captain with Jump Pack, Shield Eternal and Teeth of Terra. He will be leading a demi company with auxiliary support as part of a Gladius Strike Force against a bunch of filthy heretics in the form of Docs Traitor Guard; in a game in a week or so. Beware Doc!
Here's some piccies....
The base model is an old metal one I had in my bits box; one of the old Masters of the Chapter models. He originally had an axe in his left hand I think, I chopped the head off and replaced it with the large chain blade from an old metal Vanguard Veteran; also from the extensive bits box. The jump pack is just a plastic one from the old assault marine sprue.
I'm really pleased on several fronts; firstly I painted this in less than 2 days, pretty impressive for me; my painting occurs at glacial speeds usually! Secondly I built him over 2 years ago and he's been sat in the "to paint" case all that time. Thirdly the white went on so much easier and smoother than I'm used to; only 3 coats as opposed to my usual 4 or 5. Win all round.
And hopefully Win against the renegade filth on the 28th!
For The Emperor!
Bluddtoof.
Awesome! Now please paint that base so he pops on it!
ReplyDeleteCheers Greg. I need to spend some time rebasing pretty much all my marine infantry. Currently they look consistent. But consistently poor.
DeleteIt'll be a major project in itself.
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteAt pains to say nice when I am on the receiving end! It is nice and crisp and will fit in really well. One small thing I don't like is the handle of the blade being also white.. I would imagine it being leather so more likely brown for me. It would also offer more of a contrast against the armour. Just over a week till you have to chop through thousands of em!

I know what you mean but the weapon grips throughout the army are all white.

ReplyDeleteGreat Stuff (as usual). he just needs a assault company to go with him, 1 down 106 to go!
ReplyDelete1 squad done and some vanguards, another squad built. Maybe by 2020!
