Angrygriffin's nostalgic Space Marines (and friends)

[angrygriffin]

Thanks guys!

Been a long while since painting sessions but I got Brother Holt done this week:

cool

[Lost Egg]

Such a characterful face. Cracking paint job sir.

[OSHIROmodels]

Very cool 

[Daeothar]

He looks wicked!

I've got this guy myself, but I'm on the fence wether or not he would fit into my Mentor Legion force, as he's so feral looking

There's always one...every legion has them  Though in the case of the Space Wolves they are probably the quiet one sat in a corner reading romance poetry.

Thanks guys!

I was chasing a bit more pop with the base coat this time around but I think I landed on just a lighter blue... ah well. Here's one of the C100 Marines:

Gorgeous work! I’m in awe of those eye lenses, thanks for sharing

[JollyBob]

Beautiful work as always.

I do like those original marines, but I'm glad they went with the bolters for future releases, the Dustbuster of Doom isn't quite as menacing...

[OSHIROmodels]

Splendid

Thanks! Those lenses took a few goes - the sunnies with no gap in the middle took a little bit of figuring out vs. the regular separated lenses.

Beautiful work as always.

Thanks! I don't quite know what to make of the vacuum-rubber-bellows-thing on the butt end of the gun - it's certainly very sci-fi looking though!

Splendid 

Thankyou!

Hoping to get another mini done before the end of the month, playing around with an old Champion of Chaos to see if I can make that work!

[angrygriffin]

Well, I didn't get him done last month but I didn't miss it by that much.







This guy is a sculpt I always wanted to get my hands on and was lucky enough to do so at the start of the year. Jes Goodwin does some great work.

A great classic mini and lovely execution...I particularly like the jade green cloth.

[Basementboy]

Fantastic! The horns he’s throwing up are just the icing on the cake, great work on the painting

Cheers! I haven't played around with green much but after working with a green to shade the red on the Khorne chap last year I reversed it here - the cloth is just two paint pots (red and green) with white added in.

Thanks! It was a really fun sculpt to work with, just the right amount of detail and the horns sold me on it being the first Chaos Champion sculpt I wanted to chase down haha.
