Angrygriffin's nostalgic Space Marines (and friends)
« on: March 30, 2023, 12:26:37 PM »
Been lurking a little while, figured I would start sharing my work. I'm going through and painting the Space Marine army of my childhood dreams, many years on... aiming for all the metal sculpts I wished I had back then.

I finished a Lieutenant Commander tonight:



They're mostly Ultramarines but I can't resist diverting into a different chapter for a sculpt that particularly calls for it!

That's pretty awesome  8)

I especially love the skull on his right shoulderpad and the particularly bright eye lenses!

This reminds me I really should get back to doing some more RT Mentors... ::)

Please keep up the good work though!
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

That looks fantastic!

I always liked the way the RT figures played with armour styles, and this one was a favourite.

Also, very cool painting the visor to show the face beneath! Wonderful little touch that really elevates the figure.

I am so glad that other people can see the face there, it took so many goes to get right!

I lean on pigments pretty heavily to get the bases looking the way they are - the exact pigments used and order of usage is here.

Thanks guys!

Got another one of the Armour Variants range finished last night:



Amazing how much more mousey they look when the vents are turned 90 degrees.
