lt.rasczak Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hello all, School is out for the summer and I got some work done on a rhino and some scouts.

Fire Lord Captain Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Cool. I love the idea for the wire going to the fist. But at the moment it looks like rope. What if you made it thicker? I always feel cheeky commenting on posts like these where the talent is way better than my own. Its just an idea anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpmdcEDSPM.jpghttp://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phplNKQ5tPM.jpg just, wow! I've loved the look of your Emperor's Children since I first saw them, and the character of each model stands out fabulously! Also annother thing, how'd you get that PF for the Scout Sergeant, as I was slowly beginning to think about buying the new IG Command Squad and/or cutting up a Commie (or two) for one (or two)...

Bigger-than-Jesus Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I've only one complaint, and it's to do with fluff-every squad in the Emperor's children had a standard bearer. Apart from that nice minis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys, I appreciate your feedback. Fire Lord: I can see what you are saying about it looking like a rope. In real life it is a lot less brown and more bronze metallic. I'm not sure what else I would do to make it stand out as doing anything really flashy would take away from the rest of the model or make it stand out too much to be really "scouty" (although how can you sneak around in bright purple armor anyways? ;) ) Dragonkin: The power fist is chopped up from the old old plastic terminators. I had a few lying around and since they are so tiny compared to the new ones I couldn't use them as termies, however they are a cheap source of powerfists. Bigger: Thanks, I'm gald you like the minis. Gotta say I've never heard that bit of fluff, and I've ready through the EC IA more times than I can count, The HH collected visions a few times and most of the Horus Heresy Novels twice, especially the ones with the EC. Could you tell me where you got that piece of fluff from, I'd love to get my hands on any more background info I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister Carnae Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 How did you do the gold bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Forge world bits were all in good shape(minus a few bent swords that were fixed with warm water). The gold was either done with shinning gold over tin bitz with a wash of gryphonne sepia highlighted with mitril silver, Or straight shinning gold with a devlan mud wash highlighted with mitril silver. It depends on how lazy I'm feeling that day. Finished the rhino, should have some shots up tomorrow if I have time before I leave for vacation.

lt.rasczak Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Finished my rhino and am working on Planet strike terrain and my land raider interior. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/php4xZoeYPM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/php7zQF4gPM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpfFisw8PM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpMXGaCAPM.jpg Would love to hear what you guys think, love it or hate it let me know. I know it needs more bling to be truly EC but I'm feeling lazy with that right now and want to work on other projects. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The rhino looks awesome. The purple is brilliant,nice and vibrant and the interior is beautiful.Cream was a good colour choice and the console on the wall is very nicely done. Cheers, Mike.

lt.rasczak Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks for the compliments mikey! I really appreciate it. I must say the interior was pretty fun to paint as a nice break from all the purple, I'm glad you like it. My land raider interior will be the same, however that's going to take more time. Did you know that there are candles on the inside of a land raider? And now for something different. Here is a WIP of my stand in thunderfire cannon. It's the quad gun from the aegis defense line mounted on the back of an old ork wartrak(at least i thing it is). I'll be using the forge world titan tech priest to stand in for the tech marine. I just really couldn't see shelling out 45 bucks for a metal model that I hate the look of and from what I hear doesn't even fit together, so here is my somewhat cheaper alternative. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpdG8PPiPM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/php2g9h6OPM.jpg Would love to hear what you guys think of it. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tuditanus Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I like it, but the guns feel too exposed.. Maybe a cowling/shielding ala the side plates on land raider sponsons? Something to make it appear more armored, as it just lacks bulk currently. Otherwise, amazing work, except I think I spied one MK VII torso in your group ^_^ (I don't care, but had to find SOMETHING with fault!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Very nice! But, you might want to add some more bits on the command squad veterans :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Did you know that there are candles on the inside of a land raider? Really?Holy crap,thats awesome! ;) I really like the concept for your thunderfire cannon and it looks pretty cool. I think i do agree with Brother Tuditanus about adding some shileding to the gun for protection. Cheers, Mikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken86 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 i like the work u've done here brother the colour scheme is great il have to borrow this. the stand in thunderfire cannon looks great i like the rhinos interior will you use the same scheme for your land raider? well done :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys. Its nice getting feedback, It really motivates me to get more projects done. I think that once I add some more bits and the ammo packs the thunderfire will bulk out a little and look more appropriate, but, I'll show it once its done and if you guys still think it needs more armor I'll see what I can whip up. Loken, yes the land raider will have the same scheme as the rhino interior. I'm just debating on how i want to assemble the land raider, with or without magnets so you can see inside all the details. I'll probably do magnets, figure spending that much money on a tank might as well go all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 So here is the almost finished thunderfire. Got some feedback and people seem to think it needs some rear stabilizers. I agree, but until I find something to use to make them this cannon will stay as is. Now I just need to finish the operator. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpKfx3JkPM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpH9Tfj5PM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpPPVaKBPM.jpg Thanks for looking, have a nice day!

ransem Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Sorry if I'm re-posting on something someone has already said (I didn't have time to read all the CC) but: -IMO, I would've given Lucius a smaller sword, he's an expert dueler and that Bastard Sword makes him look kinda Brutish +in the post-heresy model of him, you can see that he uses a much smaller sword which I believe is the same one he would've used pre-heresy. -Lucius in Eidolons Command Squad as champion? They despised each other if I remember correctly. -Where's Saul Tarvits or Soloman Demeter? Other than that, your army is godlike, nice paint scheme, great choice of Character models and it's just pure awesome to see something I've often thought about (but never started) come to life.

Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Bastard swords are just as elegant, or can be, as a saber. Trust me. Size doesn't equate to elegance with swords. The cannon looks a bit better with those ammo drums, though from head on it looks almost like a lascannon battery on crack. But that's not a critique, as any view of the sides fixes that right quick. And please, don't feel compelled like everyone else seems to be to force every character from 'Fulgrim' into your books. Gods know i'm a fan, I had Mr. McNeil sign my copy and chatted with him before the doors opened to GD, at length. I loved the book. But just because Graham wrote an outstanding book doesn't mean your army must contain every character from it. Unless that is what you want. But the characters should spring from/fit the army, not the other way around. Lucius was Edilons lap dog, Tarvitz hated Eddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Phoenix Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 let's just remember that a bastard sword, even in heroic scale, should be at very most 3.5 ft long, or half a space marine, and much much thinner. While a true longsword or bastard sword can be an elegant weapon (and was often the choice of what became both fencers and swashbucklers), the reason he doesn't look elegant is because that sword is ridiculously huge :lol:.

Brother Tuditanus Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Agreed... It's more the width than anything that should deserve critique. I don't think it's horrible though... As if we want to get literal in our critique, an astartes have musculature and reflexes that would probably make that thing move like a fencing rapier.

lt.rasczak Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks for the comments guys, I always appreciate a little constructive criticism. The model that I have for Lucius has sadly been demoted to a random company champion or honor guard with relic blade should the need arise. I agree the sword is a little on the big side for a fancy fencer. The new and improved Lucius will be based on the sgt for the van guard vets from forge world and will have two swords, to fit his fancy style of fencing. I will either be using him as vanguard sgt. or a stand in for Shrike (the way Lucius fights seems like he would attack much the same way as a mad man with two lightning claws. ;) . In other painting news, the interior of my land raider is almost done and ready to be assembled!!! Here are some WIP pics. I didn't spend as much time on the screens on the side door as I did on the ones in the rhino, cause frankly you can not even see them unless you take the top of the raider off. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpUVS4jFPM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phpu2PXuGPM.jpg http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk139/trainrex16/phprUkwoePM.jpg Would love to hear what you guys think, might have an assemble shot up later tonight.
