Finished up the pauldrons and painted and detailed the weapons.
EDIT: Group photo with pre-painted Blood Angel and Ultramarine figures which were given a little bit of detailing - not much. 28mm figures for scale comparison. I switched the left hand of the Ultramarine onto the the Space Wolf to hold the chainsword which came with the Ultramarine.
Anyway, just a short diversion from wargaming proper. I have a Bolt Action Franco Prussian War refresher game scheduled later this month - right before hosting it at Enfilade. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best in health and hobby pursuits.
Very cool, Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jonathan. Appreciate the kind words. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome...it would be a brave soul who would decide to game in this scale...but it would be a fantastic looking game!
ReplyDeleteThanks, John. Lol! I used to play with the original GI Joe's, so I suppose these could be gamed too. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michal! Your kind words are much appreciated. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome space marines Dean ! Love your shoulder pads.
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Thank you kindly, Mario. I am quite happy with the way they turned out. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat looking space marines! I had no idea Salamanders weren't allowed plasma weapons, you learn something new every day!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. Yes, me too - the gaming buddy who enlightened me started playing 40K in the late-80's - Rogue Trader stuff. Best regards, Dean
DeleteThese look fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I really enjoyed working on these large scale "action" figures. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteThese are awesome! I've got one but have yet to paint it. Where did you get the beakie helmet? I'd love to get one of those!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! These are fun to paint up & pose :)! As for the beakie helmet - got it off ebay - here's the link https://www.ebay.com/itm/114517513734 - there are also a lot of other stuff for these McFarlane figures - in fact, I just ordered a Blade Champion helmet and sword - for yet one more figure which I plan to paint up as an Imperial Fist. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThanks for the info, I'm ordering a beakie helm right now!
DeleteSorry to be a pain, but how did you take the figures apart?
DeleteMatt - no problem at all - I did take them down a bit - left the legs together at the "waist" - here's an image from an earlier post showing what I took apart https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qle2mAiIb90/YQVy-bclxdI/AAAAAAAAO8s/6spq_xynalMAo_79xTgzUcCyD17STLeoQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/20210730_140756.jpg - some YouTube videos have some folks taking the legs apart and also the feet/hands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw4TdnZDVfg I left those on. The hardest part is getting the body off at the waist - a large ball-joint. Taking them apart wasn't too hard - some folks say to soak in hot water first, but I didn't and it wasn't hard. The only hard part I had putting back was the torso back onto the waist/leg connection. I used a hairdryer (also a YouTube tip) to heat up the waist receiving end first, and then it went on without too much difficulty. Have fun painting him up! Dean
DeleteThey look pretty cool. I may have to get one of those, and make a gigantic Cerulean Templar out of it for fun.
ReplyDeleteI just got back from the local Target store - I picked up their one remaining unpainted figure and another pre-painted Blood Angel - couldn't pass them up as they were $19.00 each. In fact, I had to ask a clerk to see if they had any, and he found those in the storeroom. Also, several of the Sororitas figures - painted and unpainted (which I didn't pick up). Hopefully you can find some at your local Target (supposedly Walmart and Best Buy had them too). Kind regard, Dean
DeleteBig and Stompy! :-)
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes, they is, Peter! Working on a couple more - kind of got the bug for these. Kindest regards, Dean
