Race Bannon Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Looks real good! I like the colors as well. DA, yet obviously not. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154586-griffin-lords-space-marines/#findComment-1803352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganuus Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hint for next time. Use separate brushes and water cups for metallics and regular paint. That way you don't end up with flake in the regular paint like what happened on your commander. Looks great though!

Pistorius Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks for the compliments. @Ganuus: I do keep separate water pots, however, my five-year-old doesn't always remember which is which when he's painting and re-painting his Battle for Macragge Marines next to me, so occasionally I'll end up with something like that. Were I chasing a Golden Daemon, I might be more upset, but for now, I'm just happy he's showing an interest!

Volchek Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Very nice work there! I really like the paint jobs! 1 Question: Did you simply score the terminator bases with an blade to get the concrete sidewalk effect? If you did, that's freaking brilliant!

Pistorius Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yes, that's exactly what I did! I can't take credit for the idea though. I believe I got the idea from someone on this very forum.

Isiah Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I like them – very characterful. The only thing I don't like is the use of the Ravenwing symbol on them. Just looks out of place in my eyes I'm afraid. I would look to the fantasy Empire shield emblem decals as a source for possible motifs. Otherwise, great paintwork and a very nice Apoth conversion too.

Grand Master Belial Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Very good looking minis. They look a bit like the Disciples of Caliban but with different iconography and the White Stripes.

Pistorius Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 @Isiah -- The use of the Ravenwing symbol was intentional. According to the schema I created, standard battle-brothers are permitted to bear the chapter symbol of a griffin's wing. Veterans are permitted to wear robes and bear a sword on their shoulderpad. Those who prove themselves worthy (i.e. the 1st and 2nd Companies) are permitted to combine the two symbols. I figured with the Crimson Fists/Imperial Fists, Raptors/Mentors, and others with duplicate symbols, it shouldn't be too big of a problem. @Grand Master Belial -- They look very much like the Disciples of Caliban. According to my fluff, they are descended from the DoC and simply changed their heraldry. I did this because I loved the color scheme and background for the DoC, but I hated the chapter symbol. It also has the added benefit of making my chapter safe from a GW retcon.
