  • Right, time to do something with all those models lying around. Here's a look at my 2020 Marines Errant army, painted as quickly as possible and built from loads of old models, conversion bitz and spare parts.

      Hiya. Russ from Ian's Tale of Four Gamer's videos here. I am just about to post my second 5th edition fantasy battle report later today, and the next one will feature my Executioners against Orks in a 9th edition 40k battle report. I have a LOT of Secessionist marines, so I am hoping to persuade Ian to do some Badab battle reports at some point. He can teach me how to do the visuals better!

    Wow okay you kinda changed my perspective here. I am fairly new to the hobby and so far I have mostly painted single models very...very slowly :D The painting techniques you are describing seem and look very simple to do, yet your army looks absolutely phenomenal. It really shows how a great paint scheme, awesome choice of models, clever kitbashing, and smart use of painting styles and paint properties can yield outstanding results very quickly. This is very inspiring!

    • @johnnybigbones4955
      @johnnybigbones4955 Před 2 lety +4

      Yeah when you look online a lot of the stuff tends to be painted for close up camera shots. That's also the stuff that gets upvoted and so on. But IRL fully painted beats half painted any day and a good colour scheme does a lot of work from tabletop distance.

    • @peterclarke7240
      @peterclarke7240 Před 2 lety +2

      I'm just getting back into the hobby after about 30 years, and it's really, really daunting watching expert painter level videos where people show all the complex, finnicky techniques they've used in a mini, but present them as straightforward and the sort of thing everyone knows how to do.
      I like Ian's take on painting- keep it simple, stupid! I'm particularly fond of the "wash, then remove wash" approach as a way of avoiding having to attempt edge highlights, as I don't have much confidence or a particularly steady hand.
      Going to combine that with Pete the wargamer's vid on speedpainting cadians, where he just undercoats everything in grey, dry brushes, and then just adds a bit of detail in black or red. Hopefully will end up with something that looks cool (at a distance) but doesn't stress me out!

    LOVE this. I'm just starting a similar 'use up some bits' project. I've been working on several different chaos warbands (one for each god, so far) based on lesser known 'The Judged' chapters from the abyssal crusade, and have a pile of firstborn imperial stuff left over that I've decided to turn into a small Vorpal Swords army (the only chapter that survived the crusade). Same theory - build to the parts I have and the theme, not too worried about tactical value.
    Keep up the great work, man.

    A fine looking army, and quality conversions to boot. You make the Marines Errant proud.
    It's a shame the chapter had much of its geneseed nicked by the Red Corsairs during the Night Lords novel trilogy. Potentially condemning the Marines Errant to a slow death.
    Assuming they don't get an infusion of fresh geneseed, probably from the Ultramarines and big daddy Guillaman. Or else go on a big mission to reclaim what was stolen. That, in itself, could make for a great campaign. A grudge match between the Marines Errant and the Red Corsairs, for the preservation of the chapter and to settle old scores.

    I took all the marines I had in my bits box, assembled about 90-man strong army from them (including 15 Assault on Black Reach terminators and 13 Space Marine bikers because why not), primed them with rattlecan, then zenitaled with rattlecan and gave them a coat of yellow with an airbrush, coat of gloss varnish and an enamel wash. Strange, I thought, as they didn't look as good as the test squad I made earlier.
    Then I started giving them other colours and found out that the models were hydrophobic. With thick layers I could make the paint stay on, but they would chip away really easily. Only when I started painting a librarian that only had the rattlecan did I realised it was because of the zenital rattlecan because only the white parts hated water and paint.

    Not to be that guy, but - isn’t the color scheme “halved” and not “quartered”? Also, your Librarian is one of the two generic Epistolary librarians from 2nd Ed - Tigurius had his own model and afaik the generic librarians were never sold as named characters.
    Nitpicks aside, beautiful army!! How are those bases? None of your shots really show them direct on, and I’ve heard the detailing is a bit “soft” compared to the Mechanicus or Necromunda base ranges.
