MARINES WE ARE OUT OF HERE!

Been working on the FW marines, they take a day and age to clean up, even then you miss most of it until you prime it. They're going to form the bulk of my Ultramarine's 1st company.
I've mixed and matched the armour types as it started off as a Pre-Heresy army but then i quickly realised how horrible the marine tanks looked during the heresy and stopped. So because they're first company i've kept most of the trimmings white/silver with just a touch of gold here and there. All three marines with more coming were based with a 1:1 mix of Ultramarine blue and Space Wolves grey, then wet blended up until it was burn Space Wolves grey with a dry brush. When carefully washed with a thin layer of the blue wash before the weathering and detailing was done.

UNICORNS

I had intended to illustrate a logo for this blog of a giant Rainbow coloured Unicron (thats unicRon not unicoRn) peeing a rainbow out but now i'm not so sure. maybe i want unicorns peeing shit out

BLOOD ANGELS

BLOOD ANGELS!

I wrote up a list with Tycho leading my small Blood Angels strike force. The old model just seemed too short for a captain so i built my own.

The 4 other marines i'm not sure what they'll be. Either Sternguard or Tychos Honour guard.
Tychos backpack is old school i dont think they make them anymore.

space wolf termiantor no.2

5 of these guys came in the box and i based coated them all. It seemed reasonable to finish all of them while i remembered how i painted them. He'll be armed with power weapon and stormbolter.

shading the space wolf

I cant be sure since i started the model so long ago, but i think i shaded and toned the wolf guard with a blend of grephonne sepia, devlan mud, and asurman blue or leviathan purple. I'll do a few tests this weekend and try and remember. But space wolves grey/shadow grey are hard to tone given their muted nature and divergence away from a primary colour.

finished!
