The Emperor's Blade


Lysimachus

Recommended Posts

yeah Lysimachus, that's them, when i get a quality photo I will post em. my digi cam is terrible. And you are more then welcome to add my Steel Wyverns, us Emperor worshipers gotta stick together. :(

 

in terms of DIY chapters, your chapter, mine, then the Emperor's Word are the ones that worship Emperor. Only official chapter I can think of is the Steel Cobras but they got excommunicated. They worshiped him as a totem animal.

 

lets see some termies and a Dread next ;) and of course being a religious chapter, lets see your Chief Chaplain ^_^ maybe since there chaplans and the most religious of the chapter, they can have a right white arm instead of black since there armour is already black and being the most religious and pure, it would go with your fluff to have a white arm. but that is just my opinion.

 

Keep of the great work man!

thanks XKhalilX, next in line is a Predator i've got in the works, then another Tac squad already glued and sprayed. on the shopping list for 1,500 pts is a Command squad with Razorback, a Dreadnought (like you said, i've got lots of ideas for this! :ermm: ) and a Land Speeder

 

as far as Chaplains go, oddly for a religious Chapter, they don't have any! i won't bore the painting community with all the fluff but if anyone wants to know why they don't you can check the link to my IA in my sig!

 

 

anyway, quick update:

C+C always welcome!

 

cheers

 

Lysimachus

the rhino looks great. Such a crisp paint job! I wish I had those painting skills! Great job Lysimachus. As always. Keep it coming! For the God Emperor!

 

(I gotta make a backstory between our two chapters, even it be only a couple paragraphs highlighting a campaign. TOO GOOD MAN!)

I just read your chapter IA article, and I gotta say your chapter is just so badass!

 

Very very cool fluff, very well written, very realistic and well integrated into the timeline. Excellent work. If I ever get around to repainting my loyalists, I'm doing them up as The Emperor's Blade chapter as an homage to your work.

 

Great painting, great chapter!

thanks for all the comments guys!

 

sorry took me a while to reply, been away from home for a few days and now my boy's been infected by Papa Nurgle (chicken pox!). anyway, as requested, i've tried to take a couple of shots of the army so far. Pic quality not amazing but best my camera and limited experience could do, hopefully should get the feel of them as an army across ok though.

 

C+C always welcome

@XkhalilX: feel free mate!

 

@BroGothard: Thank you for that, i think any DIY Chapter creator would agree that about the biggest compliment you can get is that someone else likes them enough to consider painting their own (kinda expensive, lets face it!) mini's in your colours. feel free to, and if you ever do, post some pics so i can see!

 

 

left the pred for a bit, thought i'd do a combat squad of the 2nd Tac squad, then the tank, then 2nd half of new Tacs, break things up a bit. 1st Combat squad should be done soon, will post it then.

 

cheers

 

Lysimachus

Nice paintjob man, I like your work, keep at it :) Go for the Gold....en Demon!

 

I second this motion.

 

On a sidenote: Speaking of the Golden Demon maybe we should have something like that for the B&C, like maybe the golden chainsword or something like that.

thanks again for all the comments guys, really helps me keep motivated!

 

very quick update:

 

1st combat squad of Squad Philemon:

next is the Predator to finish, basically just coated in blue with air gun at mo so may take a little while, then i'll come back to Squad Philemon, will be a full 10 man, intended for home objective sitting (hence plas, combi-plas, no PW/PF set up) plus will have heavy bolter to 'thicken up' the squads bolter fire. After that, got a Command Squad waiting for me, although hoping my supplier might be able to get me a Dreadnought in the meantime! :)

 

C+C always welcome

 

cheers

Thanks Kable!

thanks for all the comments guys, sorry its taken me so long to update this, been working on some other stuff (among other things, my Emperor's Blade short story, link added at bottom of sig if anyone's interested!)

 

@kronk: thanks! i'm not entirely happy with my level of skill in getting a nice smooth white over black undercoat but it looks ok on the tabletop, plus in fluff terms it symbolizes the Chapter's belief that the war that they make in the name of the God Emperor is pure, holy and righteous!

 

@burias: cheers!

 

@onurb55: thanks! i'm aiming for 1,500 pts, think with what i've got so far i'm on about 1,100 so i'm getting there! :P

 

@boymiller: thanks bruv, next up is this:

 

the 2nd half of Tactical Squad Philemon:

and a full squad pic:

as always, all C+C is very welcome! think next up will be something a bit more interesting, either the Command squad or maybe a Dreadnought, got to go see my supplier this weekend coming!

 

 

anyway, thanks for viewing/commenting!

 

 

cheers

 

Lysimachus

always hated scouts in bright blue/red/yellow armour so done to match desert world bases

 

cheers

 

Lysimachus

 

 

WOOP! scouts in camo! i hate the 'Eavy Metal scouts.... they just scream out "LOOK AT ME!" lol. Always done my scoutsin the camo to suit whatever basing i am doing! you rock

Great new additions to your Blades!

As I said a few months earlier, very nice army, loving the color scheme and the freehand.

 

Also, I've read your IA, it has some of the best and most original ideas used for a SM Chapter IMHO. Brilliant!

 

Keep up the great work!

 

Calimehtar

Hey,

 

Very nice work! The shoulder pads look really good, nice crisp freehands!

 

Is that a Battle for Macragge marine snuck in there? I thought you didn't like them ^_^

 

The army has really come together. How about a new army shot of what you've got so far?

 

BM

thanks for the comments everyone!

 

@the immortal: i know exactly what you mean! ;)

 

@calimehtar: thanks mate, glad you've enjoyed the fluff side of it as well as the mini's!

 

@boy miller: thanks bro, not as good as yours but i'm happy! tbh, i don't like BFM marines but the 2nd tac squad was made out of spare bits i had and i was 2 marines short so nic let me have a couple. they're not my favourite ones but one or two hidden at the back of a squad isn't too bad!

army pic is a good idea, might just wait for next squad to be done, it's a bit of a pain setting everything up to take them!

 

been away at weekend, picked up my Command squad! hoping to start putting it together tonight, all robed DA/ tabarded BT bodies and lots of religious bits!

will probably try and put a few pics up in the WIP section in the next few days

 

 

C+C always welcome!

 

cheers
