dood515 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wow, i really like the blue you have there. I have only two small criticisms: 1. I would have gone for either the loincloth or the bionic leg on the devastator sergeant as they're both cool pieces but the cloth kinda hides the leg a bit. 2. The purity seal and scroll on the rhino go wrong way in a sense as if the rhino moved they would be blown backwards by the wind. Judging by all the longer purity seal and the huge scroll on the dreadnought (which looks amazing btw) I guess you've bought one of the ravenwing sets, can we look forward to seeing some bikes in the future then??

Lysimachus Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Thanks dood! to answer your points: 1) you're probably right, it is a bit hidden. trouble is, its part of the fluff that Sgts are distinguished by wearing tabard/robe! 2) again, you got me, i kinda missed that when i was sticking it! still, i guess it will look right when its reversing to high speed away from DP/wraithlord/warboss!! :D as to the bits, i pinched them from a friend who did get the RW upgrade so no bikes i'm afraid! Having said that, what i've got so far is up to 1,500 pts and at the mo i'm trying to decide whether to start something totally different or add some more stuff for 2,000 (or even more!) pts. so you never know, bikes might appear at some point... thanks Lysimachus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy Miller Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hiya bro, Dread looks good, love the extra details, the banner is great! Only thing I'd do different is the rim of the sarcophagus, I'd maybe do it in boltgun, just to break up the blue. Command squad next? BM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 The white weapons are still looking kinda flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Finally started getting somewhere with the Command Squad! Standard Bearer is finished, the other squad members are basecoated so hopefully will follow (comparatively :) ) quickly! Anyway, thought I'd post pics of SB before I lose this thread completely...

Hubernator Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I musta missed this or something. Somehow I remember these ;) Very nice freehand on all your models, it's good stuff :) Still got the white bolters I see, would be nice if they were shaded a bit. Black wash maybe?

Lysimachus Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks very much guys! Another update, rest of Command Squad is done: Vet Sgt Gaius and Apothecary Cephas: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Comm2.jpg Veteran and Flamer: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Comm4.jpg and a group shot with Brother-Captain Erastus: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Comm1.jpg C+C very welcome as always! Nearly there on this army, Land Speeder and Razorback to go, both basecoated blue, hoping to get a little more done on them before the hols end! thanks for looking!

Capt. Lysander Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Nice! The colour scheme with robes certainly fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 One thing I would say is add a bit of shading to the white weapons, they look awfully flat and unfinished as they are in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Elvis Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Massively impressed with the fluff on this chapter! I always wanted to field something similar since I started playing a couple years back, you can definitely add me to the list of folks willing to scrap up their own. Kudos!

AL. Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Apothecary Cephas looks great, infact, all in all a great looking chapter! Give yourself a pat on the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Thanks very much for all the comments guys! Well, quicker update this time, got my friend to spray the base coats for Razorback and Land Speeder so hasn't taken as long to get on with them! Razorback 'Valour' assigned to Command Squad Gaius, 4th Company: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/razor1.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/razor2.jpg started LS as well, hopefully wont be too long before that's done too!

Lysimachus Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Again, thanks very much for the comments guys! One more update: Land Speeder Typhoon 'Evangelist' assigned to 4th Company: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/LandSpeeder1.jpg http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/LandSpeeder2.jpg EDIT: Damn, just looking at pics and noticed a big white blob on one of the missiles. Better get the Boltgun Metal out again... Well, this brings me to 1,500 pts and wraps these guys up for the time being. May come back to them at some point in the future, but for now I'm bored of painting blue! :cry: Thanks very much for all the support over the time I've been doing them! Next project is my new renegade force, the Iron Gods (IT is in the Librarium). Painting-wise I need to get some mini's and start working out a way to get the desired colour scheme, one thing is certain though... no white weapons! ;) Will try to get some new Army shots in the meantime too C+C welcome Thanks!

Boy Miller Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Well done bro! Great to see you finished with em. Lovely freehand work, very crisp! Wouldn't have noticed the white splodge if you'd not mentioned it! Look forward to seeing the Iron Gods project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Argent Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I love DIY Chapters. I love seeing them painted even more. Hey, can we get a group shot of the whole army. That would just about make my day. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muller Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I vote for an additional tactical squad in there and then beef it up with an interesting unit ^^, Good job on getting a solid white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Lysander Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 The army looks great. :P I like how the scouts at the back are more camouflaged then most chapters' scouts. They look wear the kind of equipment I would think scouts would've worn under-cover. Your command squad is a great centerpiece for your army.

Sempronius Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 There are no words in this language for the awesomeness that is your army! I've noticed many people saying shading is necessary for your weapon casings, but I disagree! I love the crisp white casings contrast against the blue armour. I may just have to steal the idea!

Lysimachus Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well, it's been a while but I thought I'd show off some bits that I added a while ago to my Command Squad. They were very basic in terms of equipment but I decided they needed a bit more 'oomph' in CC. Hence: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Comm5.jpg and back view of shields: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/Comm6.jpg I'd looked at a couple of threads on equipping a Command squad for CC but I didn't want to go overboard on points. Ended up with: VETERAN SGT WITH POWER FIST COMPANY CHAMPION COMPANY STANDARD BEARER WITH POWER MACE VETERAN WITH FLAMER/STORM SHIELD APOTHECARY Including their ride (HB Razorback) they come in at 230 pts, and even with the Captain (RB/PP/AA/MB) they're under 400. Not bad considering that they have four models with a armour ignoring weapon of some kind, three inv. saves and FNP! Edit: Meant to say, unfortunately the entire army will be going on Ebay at some point in the next few days* as I need the money for other projects (such as my Iron Gods and paying rent, unfortunately not in that order! :devil: ). I'm a bit disappointed to see them go as I've put a lot of time and effort into them, but to be honest I can't afford to just have them sitting in a box gathering dust. *don't think I'm breaking any rules by saying that, if I am, my apologies and please let me know and I'll remove that bit! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
