Medwayman Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Really great color scheme, and your army definitely has a flavor all its own. Near the end of Page 1 there's a pick of the termie-vet with his helmet off. Is it just me or do they have really crazy skin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I like thae paint scheme and they look really nice but the only thing is a lot of them look like they got shot in the forehead and their neck is snapping back. Or they're throwing their heads back in defiance of something. But i really like the paint scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drathmere Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yes the terminator sergeant's head (assault on black reach on) came out weirdly fleshy. I just went with it, maybe he tans too much. It does look a little better in person. Â In terms of the other vets..yep they are raising their heads up in a war cry kind of thing. Since we normally see miniatures from a 40 miles up I decided to have them look up at my opposing player. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKhalilX Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 i actually like the tone of the flesh on the marine, it has that hepatitus look to it, that jaundiced yellow skin. i think that could work with the fluff if u have something to do with the atmosphere that causes the armor to oxidize, to also cause something to the marines skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drathmere Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 So I like the idea of a mechanicus feel, but also the legion feel of the ultra marines. Since I have never had banners, I put together a potential 4th company banner. I grabbed a bunch of dow images from the net and put them together to try and produce the right feel. Let me know what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyp100 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I really like the paint scheme for the Iron Scythes, it has a lovely effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 the banner looks good but the writing need to be a bit more gothic. Â Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medwayman Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The aged metal color works well with the preponderance of old models in your army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courageandhonor Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Great army, great scheme, the army is very colorful, and fun to look at. I love all the older stuff mixed in. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timotheus Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Cloak of the Termi-Captain is ace!! How did you paint it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drathmere Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 The terminator captain's robe thing is Dheneb stone foundation mixed with skull white. After a few layers of blending I put a wash of devlin mud over the whole thing. I am not sure the blending mattered much, since the mud covered up the work pretty well! Thanks for the comments, they push me to keep trying new things! I've been trying to take some photos that include whole units so everyone can get a feel for what the army looks like on the tabletop, but I have not gotten the focus on my camera to work well. I've been playing with the banner to make it more gothic as suggested, but when I reduce it and print it out I loose all of the detail. I did put together a chapter motto and battle cry though. BATTLE CRY: Igni Ferroque! MOTTO: Ex Astris Scientia. Ex scientia vera. Scientia vincere tenebras. I've started working on chapter fluff, and am looking forward to posting it. It would be very cool to see more Iron Scythes players out there, so the fluff is based on a chapter that is falling apart. (It is the time of ending after all!) [edit photos added] You can see on these photos where I haven't repainted the previous yellow highlights to sunburst yellow. That change happened when I started painting this time around. I am also going to undo the frost on the vehicles, since I no longer have a force with snow bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drathmere Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've written the first version of the Index Astartes: Iron Scythes and posted it in the IA forums. I hope you guys like it. I tried to work in the older models, the brokend down look of the chapter, and the fact that according to the new codex everyone wants to be an ultramarine. I think the IA fits into the 'time of ending' them GW has going these days. Maybe we can end up with some splinter Scythes or rogue-ish battle companies! I hope you like it. (I do have a lot of new stuff on the way, but work has interrupted my painting zen!) Â Â Iron Scythes IA article [edit fixed link] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
