I’ve been painting a storm the past year but I haven’t been photographing or uploading pics. That will all change.

My first new posting is of my Chaplain Cassius from Kill Team. I’ve taken a different approach to black on this miniature, going for more of a grey tone approach to the colour, where I normally take a blue-black approach. The base black is Corvus Black from Forgeworld and highlighted with Skavenblight Dinge and Fenris Grey. I’ve also opted for a simpler than usual basing scheme for my deathwatch minis to make sure that the attention is really focused on the minis, which can be subtle in how black they are.

Primaris Marines http://shatterbrane.com/primaris-marines/ http://shatterbrane.com/primaris-marines/#comments Wed, 07 Mar 2018 21:54:07 +0000 http://shatterbrane.com/?p=33 Continue reading Primaris Marines ]]> I have a number of projects on the go, right now, one of which is the Primaris Marines from the new boxed set for 8th Edition. I wanted to paint them as a solely Primaris force, and took the opportunity to try a new chapter, in this case the Blood Angels successor chapter: the Blood Drinkers. I selected this chapter for a couple of reasons: 1) I wanted a less popular chapter, but have always liked the Blood Angels so it seemed a good fit, but more to the point, 2) I wanted a chapter that followed codex-style marking conventions. I may diverge a bit, to channel my inner Rogue Trader, but I really want to paint them as a “by-the-book” Space Marine chapter. Minimal to no ornamentation.

After the Intercessor Squad above, I was inspired by an old piece of Rogue Trader artwork to paint a Blood Drinkers apothecary. The artwork features a ‘beakie’ apothecary marine with a split, red and white colour scheme and a yellow stripe down the center of the helmet.  I think it looks great on the Primaris sculpt.

I have more Primaris on the way. Next batch will likely include some Reivers, and the Store Birthday exclusive Captain model. I also have a Repulsor Grav Tank that is nearly complete that will be making an appearance soon. I’m still of a mixed mind on the Primaris Marines and the lore around them, however, I think they are absolutely fantastic looking models and really enjoy painting them.
