Velociraptors! (pics)

Post by Brother-Captain Gaius »

Part model showcase and part experiment with goddamn digital camera (like getting it to take decent pics of minis)!

Good ol' Master of Sanctity

Image



Command squad, left to right:
IV Company Champion, Apothecary, Brother-Captain Gaius, Standard Bearer (still needs a banner, I know), Sergeant, Meltagunner

Image



The Tac Squad that inspired my thread in OSF.
Modelled to represent my Chapter's "True Grit," the ability to fire their bolters with one hand whilst carving up heretics with the other. My "Kung Fu Brother" is sadly obscured by the sergeant in this shot.

Image



And my veteran squad. Yes I know the banner is terrible, and the sergeant was particularly blurry in this shot. You can see a good rendition of the Chapter emblem on one of the guys though.

I was expecting dinosaurs....

Aside from that, pretty nifty. Does the tac squad have pistols or rifles?

All are full bolters, including the sergeant, except for (obviously) the missile launcher and plasma gunner.

I was, as well.

I've painted the company champion and chaplain plus some work on the standard bearer and apothecary and I'm almost done with my Dreadnought (not pictured). Pics forthcoming in a bit.

"What have YOU done for the Emperor today?"

Scouts with sniper rifles
For comparison. Much older paint jobs and camo scheme.
Image

Apothecary!
Still not very happy with him. Plus my Blood Red paint is a piece of shit, it's apparantly never heard the saying "Blood is thicker than water."
Image

IV Company Champion
"The Emperor orders you to die."
Image

"By the Authority of the Immortal Emperor of Mankind..."
Image

Kung Fu Brother
Everybody's kung fu fighting!
Image

Venerable Brother Marius
"Burn, heretic."
Image
Image

X Company Scouts
For comparison.
Image

Standard Bearer
I know... still no standard.

Update: None of the shots of the whole squad came out well, but I did get a good comparison of my old 3rd Edition Terminator Sergeant versus my new 4th Edition one. Staggering! These models are friggin' behemoths, and even weigh an appreciable amount despite being plastics. Also note that he isn't even glued to his base: These are very well balanced models; they even stand on the newspaper of my table.
