@Bloggard: Thanks, much appreciated!
Here's more!
Since this army had me paint through more or less the whole Primaris range I took the opportunity and try to learn all the new names.
Aggressors:
I enjoyed painting those. Big, burly Space Marines in what reminded me a lot of the 2nd edition Ork Meganobz.
Each of them got their own style of adornment painted on their armour.
Blood Claws (kinda):
The concept I was asked to do when painting the army (I didn't build it, I just painted the army) was "2nd edition, but with dust, rust, grime and gore". I wasn't sure about how Primaris fit into the SW chapter organization (lateron I think I found something explaining it, but it looked kinda boring), so I just applied the existing organization as seen fit for the models. These here have chainswords and pistols, so they get Blood Claws markings.
Excursors:
What a fun name for SM bikers. Also, the dust clouds in the last picture just had to be there. Anything else would have felt wrong.
Paintingwise, these new bikes offer more space than ever before on the sides of the model, so I had to put some markings and so on there. Gotta get those colours in, right?
Fenrisian Wolves:
Fun models, aren't they? I painted a lot of these since they were released. It's a good kit. If you like your wolves to look a bit different (more classic, if you will), there's pretty good ones in the Oathsworn range, with goblins on top.
Grey Hunters:
As with the Blood Claws above - these here got boltguns (of some sort. Bolt Carbines?), so they're Grey Hunters.
Hammerfall Assault Bunker:
What a fun brick of a model.
Eliminators:
Those I painted a fair few of before. The main thing with these chaps I think always is figuring out a fitting camo scheme for the cloaks. I had to move away from my standard go-tos with these here, but i'd rather have them fit the bases properly rather than have something else in similar colours.
Firestrike Servo Turret:
Wahey, the Tarantula is back. Again. also fun models. I like how the gunner's directly attached to the gun by arm and eye.
Heavy Intercessors:
Somehow I really enjoyed painting those. Big, burly Space Marines guys.
Impulsor:
The first proper vehicle! Interesting design. At first I thought this couldn't be much more work than a Rhino. How naive I was. Not only are these here bigger of course, but also got a ton more stuff on them. And on top they're open-topped! Not too easy to get all these armatures right if you paint the whole thing assembled.
Inceptors:
Yup, I'm familiar with those. Interesting new take on the Assault Marine. The most interesting to me is the jump infantry bases though. Certainly a bigger pain than ever before to put together, but of course they look more dynamic with the little transparent swooshy bit. I also think that maybe there's a bit of engineering ingenuity in there. The spring in these things may make them more resilient to snapping.
Infiltrators:
Very fun model!
Iron Priest:
With that one I tried to get much of the 2nd edition Iron Priest colour scheme on him as closely as it makes sense.
Logan Grimnar:
Wolf Lords:
Njal Stormcaller and Arjac:
I assume these were just added to the army to showcase the insane difference in size compared to the latest primaris figures.
Man with smart looking hair and smart looking Phobos armour:
Ragnar Blackmane:
Aye, there he is. He does look cool, doesn't he. There's a story to this one: The gentleman who hired me to paint this army for him put the figures together beforehand. Knowing that I'd paint it, he kept some strategic pieces separate so I have an easier time painting them. One such part was that part of the fur and the chains across Ragnar's chest. When I had painted the figure to the point at which I'd paint and add this part I went to get it from its box. Got the box, the part was there, I was very proud that I found it instantly and hadn't misplaced it. I get it out of its box, it falls onto the ground RIGHT in front of me. I bend down to get it, but it's GONE. I searched for 8 hours. Complete insanity. After those 8 hours I was so desperate I was sure i'd have to buy the part somewhere or the full figure or something. Wrote my pitiful story into a discord channel I tend to hang out in with lots of warhammery types, specified the part. Sent the message. Seconds later I got up, as being guided by some invisible hand I walked over to a box I absolutely knew the part couldn't be in, I reached inside, 2 seconds later I had the piece in hand. It must have jumped in there. Next thing I did was get back to the computer, give the discord channel an update as for the situation and tried my dearest to convince them that this wasn't some weird attention whore move.
It's really astounding. I mean I dropped/lost bits before of course, but that really was something else. Very glad it turned up in the end.
Redeemer Dreadnought:
Note the switchable main gun. Yeah, I painted one or two of those before. Cool models.
Repulsor 1:
The red spikey patterns in the front of all tanks were a very late addition in the end. The fonts just looked a bit bare; this way the colour's balanced much better, and they get an additional little spice in the front.
Repulsor 2:
Rune Priest on Bike:
That one had to look a bit fancy of course, so I put a bunch of runes on the one side.
Rune Priests on Foot:
Man with hourglass:
Sicaran Punisher:
A modern classic. The ammo box kinda gave me a headache for a while until I came up with a way of getting colour on it without having a solid brick of red on top, which would have been uninspired and unattractive.
Thunderwolf Cavalry:
Thunderwolf Cavalry, if you throw a tennis ball across the room:
Vanguard Inceptors:
What a concept.
Wolf Guard:
As proper for wolf guard, they all got different shoulder pad designs.
Wolf Priests:
Wulfen:
The most dangerous pub crawl:
Well, that's it.
Hope you like the figures!
