Topic: Progress on painting an entire space marines army. *VERY image heavy*

[Deathpepper]

Got some green stuff, so I started sculpting.  This is actually the second pack I've ever bought, the first one has lasted since the early 90's.   

First, patching that hole in skelecaptain's head, and patching up the back of his head.  I then sculpted a hood for him, pulled down behind his head:




Patched up the heavy flamer convertion:


And finally attached the sword arm and started patching the joins there:


I'll do some more sculpting once that hardens up.

Looking good my friend, can't wait to see this finished.

BTW what did you do with the orks from this set?

Update:
Ok, I finished up skelecaptain's shield and flamer.  Attached them and fixed up the joins:



Also worked on skelecaptain's face.  He didn't really have a mouth, so I sculpted a cloth covering the lower part of his face.  Here he is completed next to the original:

Looking good my friend, can't wait to see this finished.

Thanks, dude.  I have the orks still on sprue, waiting to trade them off for even more AobR marines stuff.  Most of my marines have ccw/bp, so I need a lot of standard bolter guys to flesh out the new army.

Big update!

Skelecaptain/counts as vulkan/Viktor II is done.  I also finally painted those objective markers:


Converted up a master of the forge with conversion beamer, and a thunderfire cannon (the techmarine is homemade and old).  The beamer is actually just an exhaust bit from the ork battlewagon kit.  The thunderfire is mostly from the drop pod box. 


Some old metal sniper scouts and Telion (from a vindicare assasin):


Some old metal bolter scouts:


3 AoBR dreads:


3 AoBR tac squads:




2 really old rhinos and a razorback for the tacs:


I may actually finish painting all my marines some day.

Ooh, old style Rhinos. I like that a lot.

That's a very good paint scheme, IMHO.

I like all of it especially skele-captain. Can you give us a shot of everything on your table. How many points do you have all together.

[Deathpepper]

Hmm, maybe 5 or 6k painted.  Besides what's in the pics below, i've got a biker chaplain, 2 more regular bikes, 2 attack bikes, around 30 more tac marines, 2 unassembled rhinos, and 15ish unassembled assault marines.  And about 3 more captains.  And that box is a third unassebled pod.  Definitely in sight of the end!  I'm tempted to convert another TFC, though.

The ICs:


The army:

UPDATE-

Finished painting the predators and drop pods.  Two of the predators are converted razorbacks.  Their turrets are a combination of chimera turrets and cut down IG lascannons.
