Meet the spartans! - SM Log

[DesertLion]

I like the paint scheme you have chosen.

[crandall87]

The second tactical squad.

[Y'inglye]

This apothecary conversion is absolutely fantastic!

[hairyyahoo]

I've also had a go at sculpting parts on the chapter masters legs. The pic isn't great but hopefully you can sort of see what I've been trying to do.

i've never had much luck with scibor-type armour like this. did you make a mould like they suggest on their website?

[crandall87]

Yeah. This was done the same method scibor used on their website however I made my mold with green stuff. I also used vaseline between the green stuff mold and the green stuff being pressed into the mold so it would come apart easily.

This is a much better picture so you can see the result better. Unfortunatly it also shows my poor attempt at the feet. lol

[Triszin The Wrath God]

why dont you also make a press mold for the feet? awsome legs though

[crandall87]

Thanks. I never thought about doing the same for the feet. They are larger than terminator feet so would need to be the size of obliterator feet.

[crandall87]

I have made a couple of sergeants. This one was kindly sent by Cuthlas





I also have Sicarius



My next posts should contain some painted models.

[Cuthlas]

Ahh...now the plot thickens. Nice idea to use them for sergeants. Looking forward to seeing them painted .

Just a little update on the chapter master. I have added his body and his weapon choices are magnetised. So far I only have a pair of lightning claws and one thunder hammer.





I have no idea what to use for his head yet.

[Triszin The Wrath God]

why dont you try to create leonidis helm? you could use the chaos champion head from the CSM tactial box, and add horse hair to it, thats what i did for a practice head and it looks pretty nice.

remember about the cape though.

cant wait to see more.

[LokkoRex]

really cool models, the AOBR captain with power fist looks awesome, and so to does your capter master and librarian! will you remove the u on sicarius helmets, or will you have the U:s represent their names?(urilius and unos, perhaps?).

keep up the great work!

[crandall87]

The U's will be gone. Nothing a bit of greenstuff can't fix.

Thanks for the positive comments so far guys. I've finally got round to undercoating a lot of minis today, unfortunatly that's too many fumes for one day. Hopefully during the week there will be far more painting updates that usual on both of my logs.

[crandall87]

I have nearly finished off the dred. Just need to paint a few details and that. He has came out better than I expected. But I didn't expect much tbh.

[Vimes]

Had to look up your sig

He looks great and has a distinct feel to him. Very fitting for this army.

And if you want to look up a head for your chapter master. There is a line of models called War Gods of Olympus. Here a link to a german internet shop:

Spartan Hero with armor rack. I have that model for a project that i will start shortly, when i have the few missing pieces. It fits perfectly, and you can also use the helmet on the rack for a second figure.

[crandall87]

Thanks for the link. I may have to get him to try that out. I'm not sure if the plume fits too well in termie armour but if not I can always use it for another model. Thanks.

[Vimes]

Well, if your not to much in a hurry to paint up your commander...maybe i'll find you a nice one perfectly fitting for your theme by next week.

[crandall87]

Thanks I am certainly in no hurry. His arms are magnatized so I still have to make the other options. Currently working on a storm shield arm so hopefully more pics soon.

[crandall87]

Just another weapon combination for the chapter master. I take no credit for the idea for the storm shield as I saw something similar on warseer a while back and thought it was a good idea.

[alexh]

Nice cabbages . Seriously though, your army is looking good.
