Khrangar Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I managed to finish the Chapter Master/Beliel stand in today. The blending on the cape isn't that great, I think, but it'll do for now. I may redo it later on. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/di1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/di2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/di3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/di4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/di5.jpg Khrangar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/5/#findComment-1871401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Not much of an update, but I've been building a command squad for my army. This model here will either be a veteran of the squad, or lead a tactical squad. I'm not sure yet. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ww1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ww2.jpg Khrangar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/5/#findComment-1918912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 yeah, i'd suggest filing the vox caster bit on the front of that dread down somewhat. Looks good overall though Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/5/#findComment-1919181 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 After a longer hiatus than the SoG, I have returned again to the Emperor's Word. I've been meaning to do this for a while but haven't gotten around to it. I've begun to model my Kantor Counts-as and this is what I have so far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/kantor1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/kantor2.jpg Which head do you prefer? Alternatively I have Sicarius' bare head. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/kantor3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/kantor4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/kantor5.jpg Probably the only bannered back pack for the army. Next Special Character I'll probably do is Shrike using the Wolf Guard with Lightning Claws and an Assault Squad Culln to make it Mk4 armour. Hopefully I'll start painting this guy soon.

Khrangar Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I managed to get this guy about 99% finished in terms of modeling. I still may add a laser sight to the storm bolter but other than that he's finished. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/kantor6.jpg Khrangar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/5/#findComment-2125122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrible_Trygon Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'd repose the fist down so that it is has a sense of being 'heavy'. It would improve the model I think.

cathar the great Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I'd repose the fist down so that it is has a sense of being 'heavy'. It would improve the model I think. Seconded. It's okay now, but that would make it look even better. I would also swap the TDA stormbolter-hand for a power armored hand. TDA arms/hands on normal Marines always look a bit out of place to me.

Khrangar Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 The fist is kinda stuck as it is because of the elbow join. I'd move it down a bit if I could. I figure he's gonna scratch himself or something. As for the TDA hand, it looks a whole lot better than a regular power armoured one. I had that originally and it was too puny.

Khrangar Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 What about an 'alas poor Yorick' pose with the fist how the original model has it but a skull instead of the helmet?

Khrangar Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I got 5 more marines done, well the body anyway. I still need to do the guns, backpacks, and bases.

Khrangar Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I managed to mostly finish the 5 Marines.

Khrangar Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 I finished the second sergeant and started a few more marines. A third sergeant and a couple missile launcher Marines for the tactical squads. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/serg1-1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/serg2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ma1.jpg I was also wondering how I should paint bikes.

Shortsonfire79 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Very tasty. I'm liking the purple scrollwork! I've never seen that before. Looks great, the army looks great.

Khrangar Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I managed to get work done on the Kantor counts-as. He will be known as Captain Jungor. If anyone can guess why he's named that, they get a cookie. Here he is: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/jungor1.jpg I have a question though. Should I make the trim around the kneepad gold or leave it the bone colour?

Burias-Drak'shal Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Some great looking models. I'm liking the colour scheme. On the captain if I was doing the model I would paint the trim gold, as it would make the captain stand out, and you would think they would have more ornate armour than the rest of the company. Keep up the good work! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/5/#findComment-2135266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draakur Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Lovely to see these guys still going - I still very much dig what you've got going on here :) I agree on the knee pad trim. I think in some scenarios it wouldn't work but given the aesthetic style of your chapter, the fact that he's a captain, and the amount of detail on the model that will allow you to balance out the gold on the knees on other areas of the model so as to keep it from looking out of place, I say go for it.

Khrangar Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 I managed to mostly finish Jungor today. He needs something in the circle of his banner (suggestions welcome) and some touch ups. I'm not completely happy with how the cloak ended up but it'll do for now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/jung1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/jung2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/jung3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/jung4.jpg Khrangar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/5/#findComment-2135951 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khrangar Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Got most of my priming done for now, and did a painting bone tutorial if anyone is interested. Painting Bone by Khrangar Paints Needed http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/paint1.jpg Or if you only have GW colours... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/paint2-1.jpg Stages http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/paint3.jpg Step1: Paint a coat of Bestial Brown. Doesn't have to be neat, just has to be over the areas you want to paint bone. Step2: Apply Menoth White Base or Bleached Bone over Bestial Brown. Will take roughly 3 coats of Menoth White Base to cover smoothly and probably 4+ coats of Bleached Bone for the same effect. Step3: Apply Gryphonne Sepia over chosen bone colour. Step4: Add highlights around edges. Chosen bone colour to start around all edges, followed by a 1:1 coat of bone plus white around sharp edges and middles of areas. (I.e. Top and bottom of knee pads, and above the foot, etc.).
