El-Diablo Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 By the way, what blues did you use on the plasma gun for the glow? Basecoat of hawk turquoise, wash with blue ink, with turquoise/white highlights. I've managed to get 3 tac marines done for Squad Tolov, im going to start on another bolter and a plasma cannon later on, i'll update in my wip thread later. For some reason these 3 took forever, hopefully I can make up some time on the rest of the squad. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/SquadTolov1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Diablo Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 marines are lookin' very very good! Cheers Frost Knight. Another 2 tac marines finished now, complete with glowing plasma cannon. At least thats another combat squad done. Im going to start work assembling the rest of the squad today so i'll throw some pics up in the WIP thread later. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/PlasmaCannon.jpg The Combat Squad http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/CombatSquad21.jpg Usual c+c welcome.

DeffWolf Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 i love the way you have made the plasma glow...like its alive bwahahaha...ahem sorry bout that. i like it and think you could go far. my critiscism would be that it's very standard modelling and maybe more dynamic conversions perhaps. all in all very nice midian.

Did you see the squad at the start of the thread? Every squad will be split into combat squads in this army, each combat squad will be doing a different job. This on is giving covering fire, while the next one will be moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Awesome, Midian. Hadn't caught the progress on Squad Tolov; good to see that the Sword Bearers are marching ever onwards. Looking forward to Tolov himself! :nuke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 As always: Awesome work there! I love the glow on the Plasma Cannon. I usually don't like this sort of lighing-effect because as with NMM most people try and fail miserably, but your's really looks as if it's glowing! Awesome. ^_^ And like Molotov, I too look forward to Sergeant Tolov. Have you decided what to do with the fist yet? Checkers? Hazard stripes? Black? /Angerforce.

El-Diablo Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 And like Molotov, I too look forward to Sergeant Tolov. Have you decided what to do with the fist yet? Checkers? Hazard stripes? Black? No solid plans as of now, but I am going through the 2nd ed marine books to get some ideas. Its been too long since I last updated the log (damn wedding planning), but i've not finished much apart from the Black Legion Terminator, and for some reason didn't take any wip photos of anything else. I have managed another pair of tactical marines though - If I can ge the last 3 for the squad finished by UK Games Day i'll be happy. I really need to speed up my painting. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/Fin26Aug.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Oh, getting married, are you? Congratulations! Nice to see some updates! I've missed your Swordbearers here over the summer.

Tyrannicide Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The pair looks great Midian as does the rest of your Sword Bearers. I personally like the plasma cannon wielding Marine, he's one of my favorites. Keep up the progress and I look forward to Sergeant Tolov. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Diablo Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Cheers fellas. Wedding planning isn't the most fun thing to do but if it keeps her indoors happy then so be it. As promised, i've got another 2 tac marines finished, just varnish needed for these guys now. Onto Sgt Tolov now. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/3septfin1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/3septfin2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/3septfin3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 They look great. I like the combat knife in the fist and think it's cool that you've managed to include the Company badge on the MkVI greaves. Thumbs up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the combat knife in the fist and think it's cool that you've managed to include the Company badge on the MkVI greaves. Thumbs up! Cheers, It wouldn't be feel right if I didn't get the company marking onto the greave. I did almost forget to do it at one point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angerforce Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Great work as always. Your Sword Bearers rock! Love the way you pose your minis, especially the Meltagunner above.

Commissar Molotov Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The black knuckles on the powerfist really do work! I'm glad to see a legal Sword Bearers army! I have to admit that the Sword Bearers are probably my favourite army on the B+C. They're neatly painted and well-executed. Nothing crazy-different, but they still stand apart and are distinct.
