A post over on Platoon Britannica got me thinking about trying my hand at a 6mm piece...! There was a challenge to paint an Epic 40k Space Marine Terminator in roughly an hour. I must admit, not having many/any epic minis it soon slipped my mind but this weekend I stumbled across a handful of long lost Epic miniatures... and guess what? Yup! A handful of Terminators crudely painted in the dark blue of the Crimson Fists!
A quick Fairy Power Spray later and I was ready to go...
Here are my attempts - don't forget that this is just 6mm tall...
These photos are a bit better colour-wise
The phrase UN-Fing-believable is thrown around a lot these days, here though, it is entirely apt! That'll pass the 3' test and then some!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Cheers Zab
DeleteI thought I'd try something different for a change! Might even see some 28mm Salamanders at some point - I enjoyed painting the bright green :)
Wow - you were one of the guys I was really hoping to rope in to the challenge on the PB forums, and now I see you've done it off your own back! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've been very distracted by Real life, but if you're interested, the majority of the first photos from the challenge can be seen on the facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.637863462897594.1073741827.412718632078746&type=1 And will be on the hobbybrush as soon as life permits. I think you just blew the competition away - great work!
And was that really done in an hour? I'm officially retiring as a "6mm specialist"...
ReplyDeleteIt was a bit more than an hour if I'm honest grabbed in a few small batches. I'm tempted to do another one and try to stick to the hour exactly! I took some better photos last night which I'll add to this post ;)
