jay.arsenal Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Edit: New Stuff added at bottom of thread. (21 Nov 09) Hello all, I've been working on my army for the past 5 months, and wanted to post what I have and also receive any tips and feedback you think could improve my army. (praise is also appreciated) Complete Painted Army (thus far) Assault Squad Tactical Squad Captain Terminator Captain (ForgeWorld) Terminator Chaplain Assault Chaplain First finished Devastator Squad member Ironclad Dreadnought Rhino Rhino Angled shot Rhino close up My progression in painting I think is evident. While not posted in order of completion, I feel my best work is on the two chaplains, the ironclad and rhino. I also really like the way the devastator members has turned out thus far. Future work includes finishing the devastator squad, painting a land raider, and working on some sniper scouts. (there is still A LOT more to paint after that, but those are just my immediate nexts) Thanks for any feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Santios Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ordinarily i dont start feedback with a negative HOWEVER ..

sgtNACHO Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Hey, I really like your models! Nothing mind boggling or anything, but their very clean. The paintscheme is very "black & White" :) But I love how clean your models are. My favorite is by far the Devastator! He just looks so clean, and awesome! Good luck and keep at it!

Brother Cambrius Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Very impressive work. Love the captain and the assault squad. Well done! Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Nice models, have you decided on a chapter name or emblem yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay.arsenal Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Chapter name is Ivory Death, I've got a few sketches for a symbol, but so far haven't been able to turn it into a reality. Thanks for the comments. The 'white' is more of an ivory, but due to the flash comes out very white in photos. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hmm, may I suggest you change the chapter name to the Ivory Warriors? Has a better ring to it in my mind. Also please do upload the concept symbols you've come up with. I'm interested in seeing them. Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Lord Captain Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Love the devastator guy!! really like your white with the black lines. Yeah I'm not too keen on the name either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay.arsenal Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 well i understand aboyt the name it is more of a statement than a name. ivory warriors does have a better ring to it. i will give it some thought if you have any more ideas about a name i would love to hear them. also i need to scan the drawings in to my comp and upload on here. it might take a minute though so please be patient. the design though is a skull in the center with ivory tusks wreathed around it. i still haven't decided what i want to join the tusks with. i was thinking of something more along the lines of an aquila sign or something similiar. if anyone has any ideas i love to hear those as well. the only thing is it is somewhat complicated to fit all that on a shoulder piece. thanks for the complements and advice, and thanks for looking.

Fire Lord Captain Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I'm not too keen on ivory either tbh. What about something with Bone in the name? Maybe not though, just thought of all the juvenile comments.. What about White Death? I dunno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 albicant shades? or eburnean something, the first means going white and the second means white/ivory. i like the sound of The Albicant Shades though, just some ideas for you :) i really like your models, espeicially the rhino, a very used and apc look rather than the normal thing to praise clean look. awesome, well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Carlin Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I like these the colour scheme contrasts and is striking but I would suggest that you water down the paint a little more when painting white its tricky. The rhino is fantasic like you pulled a black templar one from the book and changed it abit, the armour chipping is very nicely done too. I also like the chaplains alot.

jay.arsenal Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 thanks for the suggestions, shades i like that. the reason i picked ivory instead of white. well because white is common. i mean it is used so much in our daily lives. ivory well it is a known name but you never really hear it unless you are talking about it. i mixed white and bleached bone, about a 10: 1 mix. it looks pretty much like ivory just when compared to white. also i know some are not to inclined on the name but you know what it means. albicant shades is good but you had to tell me what it meant. what about ivory shades? if you are looking at the captain he is blotchy, no i did not thin the paint. he was my first figure in about 5 years. i figured it out after him when i did the first five assualt troops. but the primer was white and i purchased a bad can. so it dried way to quickly when i sprayed them. that might be what you see. again thank you for the input.

Ferrus Manus Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I love your white, its very crisp and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I agree with the many comments about the white looking great. I just think it needs to be broken up a bit more. Maybee some kill marks or squad markings (tactical arrows, devestator triangles, assualt crosses, ect, ect). I know your still trying to figure out the company symbol. Red would deffinitly stand out, but I think they would also start to look like White Scars. Really great job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay.arsenal Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 yeah i know what you mean. right now though i am just trying to get them done so that i can play. after there finished i am going to put all the markings on. the squad number. holy text and kill marks. thanks for the comments.

sword brethren Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Albicant Shades - albicant means going off white almost bleached i think, it can also mean something turning white. im sure you know what shades mean ;) goodluck with your army :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch«•»Angel Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 DAM! i was thinking of starting an army with the same scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay.arsenal Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 so i have been thinking about it and i finally came up with a name that i like. ivory talons, chapter symbol i am thinking will be either three talons on a halo, or an falcons foot with the talons spread out wide. let me know what ya'll think. also i am working on my venerable dread right now. kind of put the devastators on hold until he is finished. i have his legs and base with the knee and hip armour finished. i just finished the gap filling on the torso and primed the arms. i will post them as soon as i finish. thanks everyone for your complimants, input and tips. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 oooohhh ivory talons, sounds luxurious yet deadly :) cant wait to see your dread done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juckto Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Very good. What is your recipe for white (and black lining too)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Either chapter symbol would work, but I would go with the three talons on a halo since it sounds more original. The falcon foot idea is already the symbol for a couple chapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay.arsenal Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 my recipe for white is white primer in two thin coats. then i do two thin coats of my ivory main chapter color. this accomplished with about 1 part bleached bone and about six to seven parts white depending. the black hard lining is done with a art pen black of course it is the smallest that i could find in any hobby store such as micheals, ect... the chapter symbol, that makes since about the halo with three talons i was also considering three talons tied to a feather or two. still trying create rough create a rough scetch to see what i would prefer. the dread is coming along all i have left is to complete the upper chasis. hopefully will be posted by friday or sooner hopefully. thanks for the replies and comments.

jay.arsenal Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 I've finally finished my venerable dread and wanted to post some pics here for feedback. I was going to call him Legio but saw that a few other folks have similar names. I'm thinking of the name still, but am happy with how it turned out.

NovaPulse Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Impressive! Your gold and metal look really good. I don't even normally like the venerable models, but yours looks really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
