@ Losfer - best I could do mate without redoing the pics.

@ Midnight - cheers fella, always appreciate your comments. Last one's definitely coming ;)

 

@ IL - it shames me to say that I have nada, zip, zero, nul, niente to offer on that score. Rubbish I know... there will be at some point... :P

... ;) the inquisition is displeased.... ;)

So, I finally broke through that motivation wall to bring you, Brother Sgt Ixion - Honoured Veteran of the Blood Angels 1st Company.

 

Pretty chuffed with the way he came out, barring a few minor things here and there. Obviously Lysander got demoted but I used various parts from the Sanguinary Guard, standard Terminators, Grey Knight Terminators, and the SM Veterans. Also tried a more concerted attempt at some freehand on the back of the cloak, which came out pretty well.

 

I'm sure I'll succumb to some mass bolter fire, but I'm taking a short break to start a different project (xenos unfortunately), but I'll have something new to post in a little while. Enjoy.

Final Group Shots. I'll be adding a second Lightning Claw and a Termie Priest to the squad, but just really need to have a go at something else for a bit.

such a striking red man... really catches the eye!

 

But I do see a gravity defying purity seal on his right shoulder :yes:

 

The contrast quality with my iPhone is pretty naff sadly - it all blends a lot better in real life... honest ;)

 

As for the purity seal, I figured that the banner and cloak both fit well together with the direction of the "breeze", but being heavier material than parchment the movement isn't as drastic as something as light as the purity seal... hence its very, erm, dynamic.

 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it :(

I did wonder if you would use the big man in yellow as your base as Sgt. Nice work again, he tops off an awesome squad; I'm not usually a fan all the bling really, but it is perfactly suited to a group of honoured veterans.

 

Excellent stuff :P

Sooooo, been a while since I posted something (...and a while since I've actually got much painted to be fair), but here are a couple of updates (-insert iPhone camera excuse here-).

Your stuff is really awesome bro !!! ;) I love that sergeant and the Priest - they are both quite striking.

 

One suggestion I have is to think about cropping your pix so we can see more detail of your beautiful minis. :)

Cheers lads, I appreciate all the comments and suggestions.

@Dem - I know mate, it's been far too long since I touched that project... and I'm trawling through a few... Dark Eldar at the mo. That pretty makes me banned from the BA section doesn't it? unsure.gifmsn-wink.gif I'll be coming back to it, just not sure when yet.

@BO - Sadly the vagaries of only having an iPhone for a camera won't make that much difference....and Santa is not even bringing me a proper one either, which is rude. Hopefully I'll find a way of improving the quality soon - a lot to paint in 2012 still biggrin.gif

"res·ur·rec·tion (rz-rkshn)
n.
1. The act of rising from the dead or returning to life.
2. The state of one who has returned to life.
3. The act of bringing back to practice, notice, or use; revival."

Sooo, it's been quite a while since I've contributed to this excellent BA forum, but I've occasionally come back to check on things. Sadly, work and life have just got in the way, and I don't have nearly as much time as I used to with this hobby (a 4 year old will do that to you sadly wink.png ). But I'm trying to grab me some more time for my 9th Legion building, and here are a few recent additions. Sadly, my camera skills have not improved much in a year and a half...

Some much needed long range fire support:

...and some hard defences, which I ironically don't really use much as I find the Aegis a bit of a crutch for my local meta, and they can make for some very boring games. There's no Cron Air or similar in my neck of the woods, so until someone starts to bring that level of pain I'll stick with boots on the ground smile.png

Angelus Mortifer,  thanks for showing us your work on your Blood Angels.  I really like the use of the Sanguinary Guard parts on the Death Company and Sergants. 

 

Your painting is clear and crisp and I think I might have to re-evaluate my power weapon painting because yours are ace!

Cheers guys for the comments. It does feel good painting up some more of the thin red line (even if some of them are technically black wink.png )

@ Gozu - The Dev Sgt is from the Sternguard set. I chopped off his power fist and replaced it with a standard plastic bolter arm and signum/scanner, and the backpack is straight from the plastic Dev box. I was going to add a servo skull for him as well, but it's just too fragile and wouldn't last 5 mins in my carry case.

Aiming to finish my Dread Drop Pod, and then likely switching between honourable Angels and some filthy Xenos (I know, shoot me now).
