Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Simple and awesome. It's turning into a great board. Love the white pawns by the way.

Corax_rg Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I would say that instead of the pieces automatically taking their opponents, they should fight it out in CC. Thats what i would do, but then again, i wouldnt have even THOUGHT of this idea. Cant wait to see it finished.

taLLis Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Small update on my loyalist 'Castle's' here, The only thing that is near finished on these guys is the white, the rest should be done in the next couple of days so i thought i would show you a WIP now http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P101208_1437.jpghttp://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P101208_143701.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P101208_1438.jpghttp://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P101208_143801.jpg I am really struggling to take good pictures of the White armor but you can see where i am going with them kinda, the first guy will have golden knuckles on that power fist hence why i have left them - tal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149172-an-almighty-battle/page/3/#findComment-1801605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_inquisitor Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 great work on this! I once tried turning a Harry Potter chess set in2 something better...didn't have the patience, so good sir, I applaud you :lol: and a suggestion for the board...to make it a little more futuristic, why not have circles instead of squares on the actual board? start off with the squares separated, then shave the corners to make them circular, and maybe have lava flow in between? or maybe even uneven spaces, as if the grounds tearing apart (maybe just on the chaos side) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149172-an-almighty-battle/page/3/#findComment-1802525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
taLLis Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Finished the gold, face and purity seals on this guy now, very happy with it so far. The wax does look a little pink but not irl http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P121208_1530.jpghttp://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P121208_153101.jpg http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P121208_1531.jpghttp://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P121208_153001.jpg - tal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149172-an-almighty-battle/page/3/#findComment-1804096 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranulf_Nightrunner Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Dude wow! What a fantastic idea, that's really top notch, kudos to you. The purple and gold is immense really matches each other superbly well, In particular i must say the Terminators on both sides look stunning, really really well done sir! How much have you still got to do? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149172-an-almighty-battle/page/3/#findComment-1804144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

taLLis Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Some progress here, after some thought i decided to use Librarian models for the bishops instead of chaplains. Apart from the skull helmets there wasn't much to distinguish them from the rest of the loyalists unless i painted them black (which would be daft for this chess project) so i have opted for the robed librarian fellas instead. Here is the first on its way. White, NMM gold and most of the face are completed http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k420/ddsmith1_photos/P130209_1722.jpg Any input of what colour robe would compliment these guys would be appreciated as well as any other criticisms you want to throw my way! -tal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149172-an-almighty-battle/page/3/#findComment-1880156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 its good see this is still going ahead, im very impressed with the nmm you are doing could you possible tell us the recipe. on the robe colour i would use the same blue that you used on the terminator hammer power cables, that way it will all tie in with the other models without a random colour thrown in :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149172-an-almighty-battle/page/3/#findComment-1880169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
