XKhalilX Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 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! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-1920596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 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: Rhino 'Piety', assigned to 4th Company's 2nd Tactical under Vet. Sgt. Rufus http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/rhino1.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/rhino2.jpg C+C always welcome! cheers Lysimachus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-1934911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XKhalilX Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 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!)

Brother Gothard Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 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!

Lysimachus Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 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 http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/army2.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/army1.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/army3.jpg @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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-1950816 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Mournival Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 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.

Lysimachus Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 thanks again for all the comments guys, really helps me keep motivated! very quick update: 1st combat squad of Squad Philemon: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Tac4.jpg 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 Lysimachus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-1966909 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lysimachus Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Thanks Kable! quick update: finally finished the Predator, feels like it's taken ages! anyway, C+C always welcome! Predator 'Zeal' assigned to the 4th Company: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Pred1.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Pred2.jpg thanks for looking! cheers Lysimachus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-2008371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronk Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 The freehand skull on the pedator is something to be proud of. I like the contrast of the white turret and bolters with the rest of the tank.

Lysimachus Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 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: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Tac5.jpg and a full squad pic: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Tac6.jpg 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-2041231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calimehtar Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 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!

Boy Miller Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 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?

Lysimachus Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 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 Lysimachus Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152485-the-emperors-blade/page/2/#findComment-2048023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
