BobaHat Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hi all, I'm working on my command squad sergeant and champion for my Imperial Fists Second Company (I know command squads don't have sergeants anymore, but what the heck. ;) ). I have been fooling around with different designs on the banner but I haven't quite found one that I've liked. This is the one I have now but I need outside opinions. What do you think? Does it need something more? Any ideas? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/Picture87.jpg Also... here is my Company Champion. I want to make a dark power sword with a 'lava' look but can't seem to get it right. Any ideas? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/Picture88.jpg Sorry for the poor pics, and I know their bases are chipped... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156919-need-opinions-on-this-if-banner-and-sword/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil galed Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 banner is basic (colour rather than skill wise) but good, next step i suppose would be a background, sword i think needs further highlighting as just those lines seem dull (unless it is the photo) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156919-need-opinions-on-this-if-banner-and-sword/#findComment-1835016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay79 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I love the company champion especially! Awesome looking model. *thumbs up* On the lava... you may want to try this technique found here for bases: http://www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?t=6410 Same should apply to power sword effects. Start with the brightest part and work your way out. It's the opposite technique from doing the model itself which is dark to light.

BobaHat Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks for the link. :teehee: No other ideas? The banner is still bugging me.

Rogue Trader Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 How about a laurel wreath around the fist on the banner? It would add some interest to what is currently a somewhat plain banner, especially considering he's the command squad sergeant...

jay79 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I like the banner the way it is. It's simple and gets the point across. You could try giving a glow effect around the fist. Or you could try doing something like this: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/156919-need-opinions-on-this-if-banner-and-sword/#findComment-1840086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
