Gillyfish Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Wow. That's a really good standard bearer Ellis - the highlighting is particularly impressive. Is the lettering on the banner from a printed transfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 This is VERY impressive! One of the best standard bearers I've seen! There is Gothic and there is THIS! Huge inspiration mate - I'll have to seriously think about my DW command squad now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 That is a mint model E_E, it'll fit right in :huh: Love the lightning on the TH, I'm so impressed by your colour choices, always very bold. Well done, can't wait to see more s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Gorgeous! In addition to all the compliments given before, I love the broken sword on the banner. Very nice touch. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_esquire Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 @Gillyfish - Thank you Mr Fish! The lettering is indeed form the DA transfer set that Forgeworld produces - theres so much good stuff on there its untrue! I need to add some weathering over that just to make it blend a bit better. @Semper - I intentionally left the command squad (BB & Apoc) till the end to see what I could put into the models without them losing cohesion. Hope Ive achieved this! @Stobz - Thanks mate. I used to be a lot more subdued but am starting to find the happy ground in between now. @BCSharp - Good spot - it was originally too tall and I thought to snap it and get some deathwing iconography in one fell swoop!

eggroll Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Very nice standard bearer and I like the colours you chose and the decals. I have an issue getting my decals on smoothly, especially for bumpy surfaces but yours looks very well done. All around great job <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_esquire Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks Eggroll. Now for the two Command Squad upgrades together now that Dr Death is done with! Apothecary and Banner together - never leave home without them! http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8093/001uyj.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9587/002xmwk.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us One more terminator and LR and the 1500 Deathwing army is fully painted!

Interrogator Stobz Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Great model E_E- Brilliant angry look, dangly chain light and dynamic robes. Sorry to critique but he doesn't say 'I am an Apothecary' to me. Probably because I can't see any specific tools of the trade in these pics apart from the "juice on his belt. Does he have anything on hand to chop open a neck to remove geneseed? If you are representing the Narth/Reductor in a different way that is cool, again sorry I'm being a pedantic egg. BTW: I'm going to 'steal your servo skull placement for some of my DW ;) it looks great. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis_esquire Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 @ Thanks all three - from such good painters further making me blush ;) @ Stobz: Thanks Stobz for your honest feedback. I know exactly what you mean. However, this was partly my creative choice and part neccesity/practicality. Creatively I dont think the white Apothecary symbology works particualy well over the bone I paint. As for the narthecium I felt the power fist was a nice stand in as well as giving the model a really heroic 'weight' to it. He at least has his search-'light' which I preferred as a lantern; I don't much like the apothecary searchlights on models. This BT piece for me was much more gothic. He also has his fluid cannisters and 2x servo skulls (one forgeworld one with mini flammer thingy and claw gripper thing). I think it just about says "Apothecary" but also gave me the option to use this model as a stand in Belial / future captain for when we get a re-release of proper termie models or i can get a hold of the BT apothecary arm without buying the whole box! And don't be sorry - I like pedantic critique! Steal away! @Bevulf - cheers dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I totally agree about the white over bone being not needed and the searchlights not looking the best on termies, I appreciate your creative skill and your reasoning makes good sense too.Let the skull do the work ;) The skull on the base is hard to see in detail (on my screen at least) he undoubtably looks more obvoius IRL. Just thinking....How about a small red Helix on his shoulderpad? Don't mean to to be presumtious ;) I brought a whole command squad box just so I could chop up a apo arm to stick onto a chainfist, what a waste of money :P Hopefully I can find use for the other bits B) s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droma Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'll agree with Stobz, until I read his post I had no idea one of them was an apothecary. The subtle bits are nice but I think he does need something more obvious to mark him as an apothecary. Perhaps a black arm instead of a white arm? I know the SW version of apothecaries are in black so it's not without precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_esquire Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Hi Brother Angels. Someone requested a group shot a few pages back so here we go. All fifteen Deathwing Warriors, plus Belial and Chaplain, 2 biker and my landspeeder. Ill get a pic of the complete army up soon (greenwing and more ravenwing elements included) Top marks for those who correctly recognise the locale ;) http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4468/img0476d.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/8991/img0471ho.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4149/img0477kk.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WatchCaptainAzrael Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 These models have almost brought a tear of joy to my eye.. Your opponents certainly forfeit every match before it starts, for the law that governs miniature performance according to care in assembly must let you smash all but the worthiest foes outright.

Interrogator Stobz Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 E_E, Bro your army ROCKS, with real rocks ;) Looks sooooo sweeet all together and on great terrain, all you need in those pics are some dead fallen and it's perfect :P stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Fantastic to see them in their "natural" environment! I like urban/industrial basing myself and this is how I envisage the end result. :lol: On a seperate note, is the Fortress of Redemption yours? If so can we have a closer look - I'm very interested.
