azironlegion Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 OK so with the release of 5th ed I figured I would give 40k a shot again after dropping it about 2 years ago. With new rules I figured should come a new army and since ive always loved the fluff surrounding the BT's I said to my self "self, why not". So with some various marines making their way to me and the new starter set coming in a few months I set to work. Im going for a good table top standard here so tell me what you guys think. First up is some of my sword brethren http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010838.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010839.jpg after these guys should be my terminator chaplain. stay tuned and C&C is encouraged.

Shadow Nugz Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Have fun with these guys, check out other people's BT threads for inspiration. Truthfully I was almost convinced to do a BT army by some threads.

azironlegion Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Oh yes, ive been trolling the other BT logs and garnered much inspiration. I hope this log will keep me motivated as well. the pictures arent great, once the squad is done ill post better ones.

azironlegion Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Thanks, I wanted to do something different than the bare boltgun metal color. I seem to have run out of super glue so i cant assemble the last two members of the squad till tomorrow and my chaplain seems to have been lost in the mail en route to me. On the up side I should be getting some rhinos tonight. They are already assembled and have chaos Iconography on them but I think I can take the doodads off and make em suitably templar.

azironlegion Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 small information update, I recieved my chaplain, pieces to build a castellan and my two rhinos and predator. The tanks are gonna need some work. They were part of a chaos army and had ALOT of super glue used on em so we'll see how good I can restore them back to the light of the emperor.

daemonclaw Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 great looking guys there,with the washes on the back of the cloak have you tried using a wet brush on the end to blend it down into the cloak and stop it pooling Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/#findComment-1628901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azironlegion Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 i didnt really have any issues with pooling. if I felt the sepia was a little too dark i used a light watered down layer of white to brighten it a little.

azironlegion Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 ok update time, was able to knock a few things out the past few days Finished Castellan http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010846.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010848.jpg the last member of my Sword Brethren http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010850.jpg and the whole finished squad http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010855.jpg A random marine (i tried to free hand the Templar cross on his shoulder but im thinking i might just stick with decals for shoulder pads http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010845.jpg and last but not least my latest project. I was able to, after alot of hacking and drilling and cutting, get a chaos predator that looked like it had 4 bottles of super glue used on it (im not kidding) back to a state thats usable. Both sponsons and the turret were glued in place, chaos iconagraphy and mounds of super glue were everywhere on it. Im just waiting on some lascannon tips from a buddy of mine to replace the ones missing on the turret. Its still very much a WIP but so glad I was able to bring it back from the brink I thought I would show you. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010857.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010858.jpg as usual C&C is encouraged.

azironlegion Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Alright, after a little downtime I was able to throw together a test mini for the assault squad. Let me know what you guys think. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010870.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk148/flatlineaz/P1010871.jpg The flash washed out some of the white parts but i think it gets the point across Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/#findComment-1638015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Well you've missed some black on the legs, so that could do with touching up. I don't like the front of the jump-pack. Really it shouldn't be white IMHO. Also the body should be all black rather than that white stripe you have on the body.

azironlegion Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 YA Im on the fence about the white on the jump pack. Ill prob change it tonight and see how that looks. I think the flash caused some undesired effects (thats what I get for taking pics at midnight). What do you mean by white stripe on the body and I cant seem to find where I missed some black on the legs. thnx for the crit tho B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/#findComment-1638036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 On the body you've put white right across the middle. The main skull on the jump-pack belt should be silver like the straps and the body should be all black. And on the legs I think going over all the legs again in black would be best. The noticeable problems are on the feet and the trim on the legs around the bottom and the top. Also the upper legs have weird scratch marks on them. And no problem B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/#findComment-1638043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azironlegion Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Oh ok i see what you mean, the white on the chest under the straps is the chest eagle. the flash really washed it out. The skull where the straps connect is the same color but again i blame the flash. The "scratch" marks are highlights on his legs around the little indentations and stuff in his armor. Im gonna try to get a better pic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139585-azironlegions-long-crusade/#findComment-1638106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
