Conquer the universe! Pre-Heresy space marines.

[dirty_shank]

You've done a really good job on that marine and the contemptor is coming along very nicely. There is something about that bright yellow that makes me feel all nostalgic and kind of screams pre-heresy if that makes sense? Im not usually too fond of Imperial Fsts but these are lovely. The forgeworld early armour variant kits are seriously nice, might have to pick some up sometime.

Now I remember why I have a soft spot for Imperial Fists
The contemptor is shaping up great, love the claw/conversion beamer combo. This is the only time I've seen they MkII armour and thought 'badass' too. Good job all round!

Thanks dude, I'm glad you like them I gotta admit that it is even more satisfying to do pre-heresy marines than I imagined, so I might end up doing a lot more of this kind of projects

[Cryptic]

I love everything pre-heresy and heresy!! I love what you've done!

[the damned artificer]

Now to keep my word and throw up some further wip pics for the contemptor!

It still need some detail work but I'm getting there.
The arms have gotten a lot of work done to them, and the metals have been washed with a few different washes to age them and dirty them up a bit.


And a power pose.


The conversion beamer is shaping up nicely, and his personal insignia too.


The power claw with the graviton gun. the two pics are an attempt to show how the articulation is working. I split the fists icon in two to fit it, and it is now an integrated part of the shoulder articulation.



Lastly I wanted to show the components for his arms, the way I've made him he can easily have a new weapon added to his armory.

[aghast]

Awsome stuff there!

[SDKFZ]

Looking awesome, Mate ! The metal areas benefited greatly from the washes.
Like the articulation and the magnety swappy ness.

As im not a SM player, im just curious, is the grav gun back ?

ve some more weapons for this guy sooner or later

Absolutely ace (of spades). I really like the copper metal of the zappy gubbinz in the conversion beamer. May I ask what paints you used? Be really appreciated.

the weathered yellow looks great!

Thanks mate, and sure you may the steel colour is Vallejo model color oily steal, washed with badab black and devlan mud. The copper colour is from Vallejo's range of alcohol based metallic paints called liquid gold. And the colour I've used is red gold, and then given it a wash with devlan mud for shading.

the weathered yellow looks great!

Thanks man, much appreciated

[Mascharius]

Looks very good.

The conversion beamer looks awesome.
How have you done the brazzen parts?
The Aces of Spades free hand is a cool plate.

Yeah I'm tempted to buy another one myself, it's one of the best kits I've ever build. The idea with the book as a backdrop for my pics is something I've kindly borrowed (read stolen :P ) from my friend Ash here on warseer
