The Emperor's Blade

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??

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

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...

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:

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!

Thanks very much guys! Well, one final update for the time being; as requested an army shot (not the best pic in the world but the best I could do without a proper set up!):

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.

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!

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:

and back view of shields:

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! :)
