Imperial Space Flush Marines¶

The first fire team is done. On the left shoulder pad the chapter symbl is missing, but this I first need to design and have printed as decals.

I painted a fire team designation on the helm, which is hard to see in the photos, and which also does not look good in real life... I have to come up with something different. In the end I can always paint it on the base, but I would like to have it on the model itself.

The rank designation of the Corporal is, according to the Roge Trader Space Marine painting guide, meant for Sergeants. I will try to give my Sergeants a double chevron - sufficient brush control provided.

Orks Marauders¶

Only four weeks after I planned to, the Orks were finished today with static grass and a coat of Army Painter Anti Shine Varnish.

The final group shot:

I shaded the models. Black for the metal, black/brown for the red areas, SSW yellow snow for the shoulder pads and Woodgrain for the... wait for it... wood.

The first fire team is painted in the basic colours. The ammo pouches were painted leather brown; the tubes, elbow and knee joints etc. were painted black; the eyeslits were painted dark green; the shoulder pads yellow; the weapons in a light wood colour; the metal areas a dark metal.

Time for shading...

Orks Marauders¶

The models were brushed in Army Painter Quick Shade Dark Tone. Here is a group and a single photo before:

After the Quick Shade was brushed on and dried, the models looked as follows:

No comparison to manually shaded and highlighted models, but as a quick and dirty method good enough.

The models are quite shiny now, after the static grass is added to the bases, they will receive a coat of Army Painter Anti Shine Varnish.

The Waaagh! Boss is done:

With all the bosses done, it was time to cut the back banners and glue them on.

I hope to finish the models this weekend with the Quick Shade and static grass.

Imperial Flush Space Marines¶

With the Orks nearly finished, I prepared their opponents, by doing all the airbrush steps on them today. The opponents are of course the classical ones, Space Marines. I choose the Knight models from Alternative Armies for them, the Chapter is named "Imperial Flush" (which will more sense when you see their iconography) - a non-codex chapter as you can see from their organisation in the pictures below.

As with the Orks, I bought these models quite some while ago, in November 2011. They are ready build (well, except one flag pole which I forgot to build) since January 2012. They are as they came, except that all the leader models were equipped with Mechanical Hammers from MaxMini.eu and I added flag poles to the leaders from plastic rod.

When painting them, I roughly followed "How to paint Blood Ravens Space Marine" by Lester Bursley as published on his YouTube channel "Awesome Paint Job". For colours I used:

After a basecoat of the surface primer, the models were sprayed black (forming the deepest shadows), then from a 90Â° angle with Mahagony in downward strokes, then with half Mahagony/half Carmine from about a 45Â° angle and finally with Carmine from the top and in selected spots (like shoe tips, extended hips, etc).

Then the models were sprayed in gloss varnish.

Now the brush work can begin.

Orks Marauders¶

The last mob is done, getting the yellow face as mob sign that you can find on Warhammer Fantasy Battles 3rd edition Armies. Also, this mob contains the scratch build plasma gun I tried to model after the iconic Rouge Trader style plasma gun - and gave it the flaming tip.

Only the Waaagh! Boss left now!

Orks Marauders¶

I continued work on the iMob (TM pending).

The backplates were painted white, then a blue circle (well, in theory at least) was painted in the center (roughly).

The backplate was then painted purple, forming an iSlit. I tried to have the slit touch, but not overlap the iRis.

Next, the iLids were painted. Here, I tried to follow the contour of the purple a the tips, but this time overlapping the iRis slighty at the top and the bottom.
