El-Diablo Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Looking nice thus far. Have you decided on a name for the scroll at the front? Not too sure on the name yet. I can't decide between an actual name, a title (similar to rhino 1's 'courage') or a generic latin style name. Im going to think more on that over the next few days but it'll probably be the last thing to get done.

Lorenzen Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 quick question about the airbrush and the tank.. with the red on your marines you overbrushed to leave the darker red in the recesses.. you done anything similar with the tank or is it just airbrushed mechrite, then airbrushed blood red? i need details! :P i only ask because i need to add some vehicles to the orar at some point.. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132178-sword-bearers-wip/page/9/#findComment-1843866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entry1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Looks great, it inspiring me to finish my Flesh Teareers LRC. Are you using the foundation paints threw your air brush? I haven't tried to air brush them yet I worry they will gum it all up. I have a pretty decent badger airbrush so I'm a little gun shy. Any rate great stuff keep up the good work...

El-Diablo Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Nice and clean coloring. How much time did you spend on the metals? And have you got a special recepie for it? :) They look just right, I'm about to color my new redeemer soon aswell. The metals probably got about 3 hours of work on them. No magic recipe though, basecoat boltgun metal, highlight chainmail and edge highlight with mithril silver. Once that's done give it a layer of badab black wash. quick question about the airbrush and the tank.. with the red on your marines you overbrushed to leave the darker red in the recesses.. you done anything similar with the tank or is it just airbrushed mechrite, then airbrushed blood red? i need details! :P i only ask because i need to add some vehicles to the orar at some point.. ;) I ended up not using mechrite on it, the pot I mixed with thinner went all gloopy and needed throwing away. I went with several thin coats of blood red, then shaded with watered down scorched brown. Looks great, it inspiring me to finish my Flesh Teareers LRC. Are you using the foundation paints threw your air brush? I haven't tried to air brush them yet I worry they will gum it all up. I have a pretty decent badger airbrush so I'm a little gun shy. Any rate great stuff keep up the good work... The foundation paints should work, just thin them to the consistancy of milk. Use water to thin them though, as most airbrush thinners will probably react to the high pigment content and screw up your paint.

Commissar Molotov Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The 'courage' angle reminds me that I need to PM you and discuss some stuff. By the way, I'm still waiting for the fluff you promised me! In other news, here's something you might find amusing: Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex, a giant of a man whom took command of the entire 88th Siege Army in the Siege of Vraks. Complete resin multipart figure and 3 figure retinue including an Astropath (Mystic), a Sword Bearer (Acolyte) and an Exorcist (Hierophant). Hector Rex model designed by Simon Egan, retinue models designed by Mark Bedford. He's not quite as cool as he could be, though... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132178-sword-bearers-wip/page/9/#findComment-1845340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've discovered I can't write while i've got unfinished figures sat on my desk. :D Pah, he's not a proper Sword Bearer, he hasn't even got a blade in that scabbard.... Forge World should be delivering mine any time soon, im looking forward to getting some paint on him thats for sure. PM away, im at the computer all day friday so I should be able to get back to you pretty quick.

El-Diablo Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hmmm, no update in about a month. Time to fix that. Seeing as I just finished the Redeemer (well, I say finished but I still need to do a multi-melta hatch) I figured it was time for some Terminators to ride in it. I've got some GS work to do to each shoulder pad as I don't want a broken sword on there (pad from the DA sprue with the feathers cut off, see 2nd pic), and the ass cannon/heavy flamer have been magnetized. The heads haven't been glued in yet as there going to get a white undercoat and the honour shields on the left arms are having individual heraldry to make them a little more unique. Still got a few more purity seals and other bling to add but the basic form is ready to go. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/TerminatorsWIP1.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/TerminatorsWIP2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132178-sword-bearers-wip/page/9/#findComment-1876377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well they looks as good as any other unfinished terminators I've seen previously. I'm just waiting for the 'Midian treatment' now. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132178-sword-bearers-wip/page/9/#findComment-1876725 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar Molotov Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I left my fuller comments over at the ammobunker but suffice to say that the Sword Bearers continue their steady march to greatness. :D I'm still waiting for Ranon, though!

El-Diablo Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Cheers guys. Hopefully i'll be able to make a start on the paint in the next day or so depending on spraying conditions. I left my fuller comments over at the ammobunker but suffice to say that the Sword Bearers continue their steady march to greatness. ;) I'm still waiting for Ranon, though! He's coming, im still at the point of deciding what to do with him. All I do know is that a relic blade and storm shield will be involved somewhere.

El-Diablo Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 I wanted to get the terminators sprayed up on friday but the conditions are still crap, so I went into town and picked up a Dread to get started on. So far i've got the weapons in the box magnetized, plus a FW twin heavy bolter. Over time im going to have every weapon option magnetized. Quite pleased with this so far, hopefully i'll work on this in tandem with the Termies. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y57/El-Diablo/Sword%20Bearers/DreadWIP1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/132178-sword-bearers-wip/page/9/#findComment-1884344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The model looks good, and the torso on the base is cool. While I see you have all the option built and ready to switch, do you have a default weapon you use most of the time?

El-Diablo Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Looking good so far, keen to see more. :) So am I mate, just waiting on a decent bit of weather to get some spraying done. I don't want to have a back log of unpainted stuff but I really need to get more ready for april and our little grudgematch. Might work up a Predator next. The model looks good, and the torso on the base is cool. While I see you have all the option built and ready to switch, do you have a default weapon you use most of the time? Up to a little while ago I always went with an assault cannon and CCW, though I think I might give twin heavy bolters a try.

Ocid Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 All i can say is :lol: . This army is fantastic. I had tried the paint method you used before but i can never get blood red right when using a black basecoat even when using mechrite over the top of the black. However looking at this army makes me want to start painting again. I'm assuming your using the DA shoulder pads from the Vet Squad box. I've got an unopened box of them if you'd like the shoulder pads from it. Keep up the good work and look forward to more updates.
