CosmicCreations Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 These are really good, a very nice yellow for once! I only spot one problem, your chaplain has the Ultramarine symbol on his sword (the Marneus Calgar one if i'm not mistaken) Captain of the 8th looks really good to, nice conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Whoa! Good eyes on you sir! I guess I'll have to say that sword was a gift from Lord Macragge himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCrute Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 OK so I've had an idea for the banner: Starfield background (with or without square-shouldered imperial eagle kinda superimposed all ghostly-like, depending on difficulty) Lysander's distinctive hammer rendered yellow and white (representing the 1st company under Lysander's command) smashing an iron warriors fortress. Hammer as big as fortress. Flames licking up around hammer a bit. Fortress well and truly smashed, seismic cracks in ground radiating outward into the foreground, flames in cracks etc. So: too elaborate? Should it be stylised (comic-bookish) with black outlines around everything or as realistic as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Did some red: As an aside, the face hasn't been intentionally painted at all. Accidental painting FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 :jaw: *looks at his own Imperial Fists, sighs, shakes his head and bins them* Those are amazing! I love your yellow (thogh you do use white primer...shame on you! :P) Haha! I love Cassius' head on the base too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 Nearly there on these blokes: Things learnt/decided: Stripping is best restricted to troops choices, not so much HQ models. Oh well, it's not too bad. Painting at work is fine for plastics only. Metal models get shook around too much in transit. Reapplying paint sucks. Lysander is awesome. Old paints suck and make everything take longer. These guys are very nearly fieldable. I wonder if I'll win some games now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Stonewalled Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I have to say these are some of the best painted Fists I have ever seen, they put mine to shame. I also did a very similar conversion to your count as Calgar for a friend. I used an Assault Terminator with Lightening Claws, shaved the blades down to look a little like spike knuckle-dusters (if the Fist blow don't kill them, been impailed will) and GS a cape, a beard/hair on the head and all sorts of little knick-knacks, battle honours and stuff I had in my bitz box onto it. Then for the guns I bought a Daemonhunter Inquisitor with the Power Sword, cut his arms off (which were such a pain in the ass but making sure I saved the sword) and replaced it with the scout heavy bolter, adapted the =][= insignia then painted them up in his chapter colours. The back story was that before a battle a scout was selected by the chaplins to follow the chapter master into battle carrying the holy bolter, should th scout survive the battle he is automatically rewarded a place in the 1st company Scout Squad.

Dosjetka Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 1st Company Scout squad? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Stonewalled Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 They're no different than C:SM scouts they just had white shoulder pads and had the 1st company insignia, just something a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Stonewalled Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I was just wondering, as Fiery Orange is OOP what would you say the closest paint to your peachy colour is? I mixed a 4:1 Skull White:Blazing Orange then upped it to 5:1 but its still very pink, far to pink for my liking. Would I be correct in assuming that Elf flesh is about as close as I can get?

AlexCrute Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'd like your opinions on these chaps: Codex Honour Guard (Chapter champion in the middle in what will be a full suit of MK V Heresy plate): Better view of Chapter Champion pose: Sorry about the photos. Phonecam at work. In other news, I've started using Elf Flesh instead of peachpuke as the basecoat (working on a 4th tactical squad at the mo). When I've finished them we can play spot the difference.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 To be honest, I don't really like the pose of that Champion. It just looks weird and unatrual to me...but then that's just me. Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexCrute Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 I like honest. I think I agree with you. I've pulled his arm off and snapped him off his rock. Going for a duellist pose now (with a 7' relic blade). Will post pics shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCrute Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 Please forgive the blu-tac: I'm thinking of lifting his swordtip up a bit, by altering/replacing the hand/wrist. The right arm will be repositioned, not sure where though. Thoughts? And that sword is more like 8' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
