jubei124 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 :P He looks great, Makes me wish i could paint that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Richthofen Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Lookin' good! Having just painted this model myself, I can attest to the amount of small details... but you seem to have captured them all, and very well! I really like that you so faithfully adhered to the GW version, right down to the "half crosses" on the inside bottom of his cape. Well done!

Marshal Rohr Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Thanks Guys! He was by far my favorite model to paint and I certainly love the model's small details. But now I wish I had done him in black! New WIP's and freshly based Crusaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurasuke Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The spiky head looks kinda goofy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 It looks good in person and paint will pull it together. Think Witch King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurasuke Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Oh I see. Picturing it painted does make it look a lot cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von Richthofen Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It looks good in person and paint will pull it together. Think Witch King. Oh no, watch out for the headbutt! *smash* I think it looks pretty cool. I also really like your banner. I'm a fan of more simple standards (i.e. a decorative cross, some litanies, etc.) rather than those with some kind of image or battle scene.

RandomX Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Your Crusade is coming along really nicely! Good job! I want to see the Iron Crown painted up too. That I think will look good with some nice paint on it. Random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kael Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 That Helbrecht is amazing and is very detailed. I like the half crosses on his cape. Also, that EC model is looking really cool. If I may ask, how did you make those head spikes? They look awesome. I also really like your apothecary. Good work man. Captain Kael :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Head Spikes are cut from 2 of the Terminator Iron Haloes. The ones with the Skulls in them. I cut close to the base and then I filed them so that they would point upwards and not straight out. I am glad you like it, I was kind of going for a Witchking type of crown.

Brother Ra'kesh Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Spikes on helmets remind me of Chaos... might there be a taint here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Only if points on a crown remind you of chaos. They are bolted on though, not growing from the helmet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubei124 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Only if points on a crown remind you of chaos. They are bolted on though, not growing from the helmet Don't them bolts ends hurt the marines head. :) I think it looks pretty cool and think the army is coming along nicely. What did you use for the aquilla on your emp champ midsection and is that plasticard that was added to his left shoulder pad or is it something else?

Marshal Rohr Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 His Aquila is from the Citadel Basing kit and the shoulder guards are just plasticard cut and filed to shape. Although after the first coat of paint I do believe he needs some rivets to make it more realistic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpudWhitman Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Nice work on the Black Sword. Who wouldn't want an Imperial Aquila for their cross-guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 Here is my Honest to God, no Bull, Apocalypse List Things in Red need to be bought. Assault Group I: High Marshal Helbrecht The Emperor's Champion 2 Chaplains 5-man Command Squad 4 12-man Crusader Squads Armored Spearhead 2 LRC 1 LR 2 LRC Masters of the Chapter Chaplain Grimaldus Assault Group II Objective B Deathknell Strike Force 4 Sword Brethren Terminator Squads 2 Sword Brethren Terminator Assault Squads 1 Sword Brethren Terminator Command Squad 1 Castellan 1 Chaplain 1 Venerable Dreadnaught in Drop Pod Assault Group III 4 10-man Crusader Squad 4 Rhinos 2 3-man Bike Squads 2 Assault Squads Datafexes Used: Predator Assassin Squadron Linebreaker Squadron Armored Spearhead Master of the Chapter Fighting Company (as Battle Company) Deathknell Strike Force /indent] Things with no Place: 10 Marines 2 Razorbacks Techmarine with Gun Servitors and Tech Servitors Attack Bike Dreadnaught This list is a little under 10000 points and doesn't include the things with no place. I am at a loss as to what to do with those guys... Also Fluff: I will be buying a Grey Knight army when their Codex is redone. It will be led by an Inquisitor Lord using Hector Rex's Figure and Grey Knight Grand Master. I want the idea behind this to be a small Grey Kight Force hunting for a Daemon Prince around the Eye and my Templars have joined the Fleet at the behest of the Inquisitor, who recognizes their incorruptibility as a tool. I figure together the Marshal, Grand Master, and Inquisitor Lord would form a Crusade Council. The Crusade would focus on hunting down the Daemon Prince with the Grey Knights acting as Questing knights and the Templars would be their Men-at-Arms, given the relationship between Grey Knights and Space Marines, I think the Space Marines would view them as something akin to Royalty, hence the Templars desire to serve with them. I say with because I don't believe the Templars would view them as Lords but more like honored Cousins. The idea of Crusaders, Questing Knights, and Holy Men is what drew me to the Black Templars in the First place. The Crusade would be called the Vengeance Crusade in honor of the whatever the misdeed was that earned the ire of the Grey Knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubei124 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Nice list and I like the idea for the fluf even though I personaly would think the BT would be wary of anything that had to do with the inquistion but thats my take on the BT. Gotta say though it would be cool to see that much black and white. I have around 5,000 points but haven't played any Apoc games just multiple detachment ones, but I think the sea of black and white is an awesome sight on the table top. Cheers!

Marshal Rohr Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 +++UPDATE+++ Initiate Erhart, Chosen Emperors Champion of the Vengeance Crusade LR, Chaplain Grimaldus and Cenobyte, Terminator Castellan, High Marshal's Retainers (Master of the Chapter), Marshal Todt, The primed models have had their shadows messed with so they don't just appear as silhouettes. It also looks like i need to hit them with an airduster too :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasPanzerIstUber Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Your Emperor's Champion looks really intimidating! Also a nice Lysander and Sword Brother conversion. The Command Squad of Helbrecht is very striking as well. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
