worrywort Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hello, It is my fisrt mini of my (I hope I can finish it) new army. Want to recreat the Badab Uprising and after with this chapter. It will be two different list for the two different periods. The first, with different troops like scoot (I hope I find the camo scheme of WD 101 of the Tranquillity campaign) and some other. The second, to represent the end of the redemption road without new recruits. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e190/childeric/Photo002.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e190/childeric/Photo008.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e190/childeric/Photo006.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e190/childeric/Photo005.jpg Comments and critiqus are welcomed !

Gyson_Vore Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Very nice job, the colors are fantastic. Just a suggestin for a more 'Mantis'-y feel, you could use the Dark Eldar spikey things on the forearm.

worrywort Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks for comments and link. For the dark Eldar suggestion. I have seen it before, but I'm not really fan. I imagine the Mantis Warriors like a codex marine chapter.

AllHallows Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey wort Mind writing up a tutorial on how you painted them? AH Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/164101-mantis-warrior/#findComment-1937090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
worrywort Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well, In a WD (french WD), I have read a tutorial for a chaos lord of nurgle for warhammer fantaisy battle. You know the big in his horse. And I think to myself, wow it's a great green, it's like the Mantis Warrior scheme in BOLS parade... So that's all, but, I want to paint more of them (maybe, i can finish an army...), I try to make some different topics of my WIP, step by step.
