Inso's Primaris Patrol [LEAD LEGION].

[Lost Egg]

Lovely conversion work on the helmet, so smooth.

Watching very closely...I do like these.

[Andym]

Well done on that helmet! If you hadn't shown the before shot, I would beloved that was part of the original model!

I think that this miniature will be the 'hated leader' of the patrol. Someone who insists on being different and refusing to admit that he is wrong .

He might get "fragged" on patrol if he is hated that much...."accidents" happen you know

He has some VERY wise Senior NCOs to keep the guys in check

I have started the camo and just have the little black flecks to add... but I am happy with the way it looks so far:



The aim is to use similar colours to British DPM but use geometric shapes rather than random splodges. This first miniature is a trial so if it ends up that I don't like the scheme, I don't have to use him .

Love, love, love the camo! I've always had a soft spot for Space Marines in camo, and this one is turning out fantastic!

I have now basecoated the whole pattern and it looks like this:

But there are no female/wife marines? 

I am leaning towards howling griffons for my own primaris marines, going with the whole bright quartered colours. They are also well known for actually using camo appropriate to their surroundings as well which could help you out on choosing a chapter?

[tomrommel1]

good start indeed

[Inso]

Now that I have replaced the Photobucket images with Imgur, the Primaris are back

I noticed a thread on here about Lead Adventure marines. The colours that are being used aren't far off military ones... so maybe the castle/moon motif could end up on these marines? Who knows?

I have the second miniature primed and coated green and that basically makes the two commanders for the patrol. As a result of the little mix up with getting the correct miniatures, I will need to do a head swap for one of the Sgts in a bolter squad (needs a bare head, rather than a helmet) but apart from that, they will all be un-converted.

I am planning on using 'crackle paint' for the bases but will be darkening the martian colour with a coat of black or brown ink... I've never used crackle paint before so I will test things on a spare base first.

Lots of 'firsts' for me on this project .

[punkrabbitt]

Very nice work! I love seeing camo Marines!

[Commander Vyper]

I finished sculpting the 'bulge' on the helmet (for the bionic eye) and managed to get some primer on my Lieutenant today:



Next will be a basecoat of dark green before all the fun starts

Nice nod to the c100 commander Steve. You know where else u can post em when done   crimson fists please. 😎

[Inso]

The second of the lieutenants now has a first base coat, ready for tidying up :

[Predatorpt]

That camo pattern looks great on the Primaris due to their lack of skulls and other 'gothic' stuff. Nice work.

[Inso]

Still lots to do but I have washed everything and finished the camouflage and pouches... the base is still wet due to having crackle paint applied :
