Capt. Lysander Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I really like the dead bodies/objective markers. The 3d glasses were a really nice touch :lol:. I had to squint to catch them: grinned when I did so.

Aerixis Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 They're looking good man! Keep it up! Armys like this are awesome, they follow the basic thing about 40k that ive always loved, industrial-religious backgrounds and dark brooding characters! Woo!

Khrangar Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I finally managed to finish the jump packs for my vanguard. It's only taken about 2 weeks off and on. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vandon1-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vandon2-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vandon3-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vandon4-1.jpg I'm sure they could be better but I think they're good enough for now anyway.

Khrangar Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've just about finished converting my Master of the Forge with Conversion Beamer and thought I'd share. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/tech1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/tech2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/tech3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/tech4.jpg And the beamer itself: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/cbeam5.jpg I still have some green stuffing to do but other than that, he's finished.

Khrangar Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Not much of an update but I did manage to build 2 Ironclads. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/dr1.jpg Hope to get them painted up as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer.

FlamingDeth Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 That Vanguard squad looks great but good grief, they must have been expensive. Master of the Forge is coming along nicely too.

Khrangar Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 I managed to finish the torso of the dread. I also seem to have misplaced his head, so I'll have to look again for it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/drt1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/drt2.jpg Hope to have an arm done by tomorrow or Saturday.

MNONE Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I've been watching this for a while and it's really good, in concept and execution. The purple just screams 'Imperial elite' and the bone looks fantastic. I still think there's space for holy script writen on their armour though - maybe before a campaign each warrior picks a passage of the Imperial Creed he likes and paints it onto his armour. A while back someone also mentioned books: you could always use the DA book on vehicles (so long as it's not too busy - i.e. it might look 'too much' on your venerable, which already looks good enough, maybe just a bit more attention drawn to the vox caster?), anyway, that's just some random suggestions.

Khrangar Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 @MNONE: Cheers. I might add some books to them later on but don't want anything too huge. I was thinking something about the size of Chaplain Cassius's book or smaller would be a good size, but I'll decide on that when the army is more finished. As for the vox caster bit; I hadn't actually thought of it like that, it was more of a vent similar to the Mk5 armour. I suppose it could blare the Word of the Emperor. @Terminatorinhell: The beamer is actually really easy to do. You need a Necron Gauss Cannon, a piece from the Bastion upgrade sprue, and a fence from the BfM box. I should have more updates and a better pic of the conversion beamer tonight.

Khrangar Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 I managed to finish the head of the dread today after converting it from another FW dread head. I'm not entirely pleased with it but from a distance it'll look fine I think. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vdre1.jpg I also have a couple WIPs; Librarians and a Scout Bike Sergeant. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/libr1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/sbike1.jpg Still have a fair bit to build so I should have updates shortly.

MNONE Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah, the paint scheme has a nice simplicity to it that's been pulled off really well, you don't want to ruin it by hanging superfluous stuff all over the models.

Khrangar Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 After months of doing nothing for this army, I've started painting them again. I've manged to finish a Plasmagun Veteran for a Command Squad. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vet5.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/vet6.jpg I've done some more touch ups since the picture was taken so for all intents and purposes, he's finished.

Khrangar Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I actually made a bar that goes across the coils on the top so that the sight could attach and no melt.

Khrangar Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 I managed to finish my Scout Bikers today.

redscorps Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Fantastic read through the thread, your models look great and you're doing a fantastic job with the theme! How about a large scale progress update photo, I would imagine if put together you would have a great looking force.

Khrangar Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Cheers guys. I plan to do an army shot once I get a few more things painted. Speaking of which, I got a Librarian finished. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/libb1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/libb2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/libb3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/libb4.jpg His skin isn't that noticeably different but I want to try and add different skintones to the army to show the different peoples on the various worlds that they have converted to the Emperor. The MotF is up next and I'm quite excited to paint this one. Might need a new brush or two though as mine are getting a bit worn.
