Pre Heresy Death Guard Assault Marines Showcase - Squaduary 2019

Hi All,

Doc here with my finished squaduary project for 2019.  I have been showing progress of these over on instagram (code40kdoc) and facebook.  I have my first ever heresy event at the end of March so I am needing to crack on!

This unit is one of my troop choices and unusually for my death guard are quite fast with jump packs.  As always the first stage is to get the base white done.  As this is an army project its about being able to pump out large numbers of models in a relatively short time so my white recipe is:

Airbrush Vallejo Grey Primer
Recess Wash Agrax Earthshade
Airbrush top down and 45 degree angle white

Ta da thats it!  Then I paint up all the rest of the gubbins and end with some sponge weathering using GW leadbelcher.  Here are some showcase photos:










Just to say due to time constraints transfers will be revisited later on if time permits before the event.  Hope you like constructive feedback is welcome!

Cheers

Doc out............................................

Stepping between Games - #Squaduary Feb 2018. Heresy Era Imperial Fists, Rapier Quad Bolter Battery......COMPLETE!!

Hi All

#Squaduary entry complete! Huzzah! And with plenty of time to spare.
Here's my complete VII Legion Astartes, Imperial Fists, Rapier Quad Bolter Battery......



and several finished angles...





















and a few of the later WIP shots...








and finally in the cabinet with the legion so far...



I'm pleased with them but I won't be using the "lazy" sepia wash technique again on my legion models as the finish is a little too dark, it's worth the extra effort and time to get a cleaner yellow tint to the mustard finish.

A big shout out to Rory over at "stepping between games" for once again providing motivation to the community. As with all this army I've really enjoyed painting them and the next couple of months will see me painting more "Fists"; this time primarily for 40k, using the same scheme so I can use most of the models in either 30k or 40k as the need arises. These 40k Imperial Fists are for my entry into "Battlefield Birminghams" doubles tourney in June, stay tuned for a lot more on that in coming months.

As ever C&C more than welcome and good luck with your own #Squaduary entries!

Showcase Militarum Tempestus Scions #Squaduary 2018 Finished

Morning All,

Quick update on my squad of scions I am working on for stepping between games #squaduary.  I have finally managed to finished my 5 man units of scions despite getting distracted by painting sly marbo at the same time.

Stepping between Games - #Squaduary Feb 2018. Heresy Era Imperial Fists, Rapier Quad Bolter Battery......Part 3

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with another #Squaduary update; the Imperial Fists Quad Bolter Rapier Battery is coming along well. These photos are as of last night; I've got the metal done and the red detailing is complete, currently working on the rest of the detailing such as skulls, lenses, iconography and cables. Once that's done it's just transfers and final weathering to go, so I should be all good to finish by months end.

WIP piccies..............








Coming along well, however I wish I'd been more careful with removing the gates and other casting detritus as the bolters have suffered a bit and have some damage around the muzzles. I also tried a faster method of applying the seraphim wash in the recesses; it's worked ok and was significantly quicker but it has resulted in a slightly darker finish to the armour. Lessons learned!

Hopefully just 1 more post to come on these, this time next week....

Stepping between Games - Squaduary Feb 2018. Heresy Era Imperial Fists, Rapier Quad Bolter Battery......Part 2

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with an update on my #Squaduary 2018 project; Imperial Fists Heresy Era Rapier Quad Bolters.
I've got the Main armour done and the base coat of all the leadbelcher down. WIP shots....















I am in reality a little further on as I've Nuln washed all the steel, just waiting for it to dry before taking photos. So I'm well on the way. That's the bulk of the time consuming stuff done, just the fun detailing left and then weathering etc.

More to come next weekend, hope you're all enjoying #Squaduary as much as I am.
