So at the same time I've been working on Germanic Tribesmen and Romans, I've been interspersing some other painting work - namely these 3D-printed 15mm Blood Drinkers Space Marines. I burned through the first 20 of these quickly and enjoyed them so much that I had Challenger ByronM print me up some more of 'em, plus some vehicles. I particularly needed some heavy weapons and special weapons, and Sergeants to fill out the platoon.
I also had him print some Rhino transports. As with the Space Marines, I painted the vehicles Mephiston Red and highlighted them Evil Sunz Scarlet, then washed them with Nuln Oil, The tracks were painted Leadbelcher and washed with Nuln and Agrax Earthshade. Most of the insignia are decals from the Blood Angels 40K sheet, but the aerial recognition insignia on the rear decks are hand painted. Weathering was done with some sponge chipping using Vallejo German Camo Black-Brown and drybrushing dirt colours.
These look fab Dallas. I really like the sergeants and those Rhinos look the business. I think this would be a great scale to play 30/40k in.
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Getting someone else to print you stuff is genius.
ReplyDeleteEach time I see these I can't believe they are just 15mm great work!
ReplyDeleteImpressed with the details painted in the minis. Fantastic
ReplyDeleteLovely work. These need reds have a much better pigment don't they than the old blood red. No more worrying about painting over black.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Really drawn to this size with your work. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff Dallas, it's great to see this progressing to the "just a small force" stage.
ReplyDeleteByron can do a Spartan too...just saying...
The weathering on these is great. A really nice looking force.
ReplyDeleteIncredible detail for 15mm- they really show the potential of 3D printed minis.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Dallas - where do you get the STL files for 15mm space marines and can you get a decent mix of vehicles?
ReplyDeleteIf you're really interested Kerry I know a guy who knows a guy...
DeleteCrackin work!
