Eagle Warrior Marines
« on: October 27, 2010, 10:21:22 AM »
I have recently painted up three GW snapfit chaos warriors to 3 varying standards of paint job for my commission painting website I am working on at the moment.  Decided to do the same with some of the snap fit Battle for Macragge Marines.  THey are finished and turned out not all too bad.

The very quick 20-30 mins job (little part of me dies everytime I paint like this)



The 2-3 hour job



And then lastly the 8 hours maybe a little more job

Very nice painting!

Both the 30 min piece and the 8 hour piece. I think for 40k-ish size games you'll find that even 30 min pr figure is too much to ever get it done.  lol
But perhaps being a job will help things get along.

The 8 hours show!!

Oh to experience such sweet death. 

My 2-day jobs look worse then your 30 minutes.  Great work.
This is my boomstick!

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Seriously though, excellent work! I miss the 2-tone Marine chapters like this. It's a shame no SM players do them anymore.

Thanks guys.

@ antisociety

I love the half and quarter schemes personally, however I have 6000+ of Black Templars.  I was going to add a 1000 points of allied marines however I wanted to do Imperial Fists as it makes sense (really wanted to do Crimson Fists but dark blue next to black is just boring), but you never know....DIY sucessor chapter to the IF, Rogal's Fists half yellow, half blue with red helms  theres an idea :D

Nice way of clearly showing perspective punters what they get and the time you put in.

Very nicely painted 8 hour special there. Still have a massive soft spot for beakies I must admit.

@ Thorbjørn Nielsen

Drugs are bad!

Very nice work! I think these space marines show the quality differences better than the chaos warriors.
Let me hear the battle cry

Let me see the banners fly
