Brother Alucard Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Greetings brothers, I, like many others, I am jumping on the BA bandwagon this year. I used to collect a small BA force back in 3rd edition and can't wait to start painting that red!!!! First up is my WIP company champion, I will be changing his back pack to a jump pack asap Any advice would be brilliant (sorry about the low quality, very poor light at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Love the pose, very noble and suits a company champion down to the ground. My only issue is you mentioning you are going to give it a jump pack. In my mind at least the pose is too static for a jump packer, but thats just my 2 cents.

Brother Alucard Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 True, not too sure on the honour guard options yet. Will wait until the new codex arrives before starting the backpack/jumpack dilema. The picture I have in my head is that he's just about to leap into the air but will say a quick vow to his Primarch before he tears someones head off. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggyStardust Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Good conversion! Really fond of the whole pose! Looks awesome to me, but as above poster noted, it might look wrong with a jump pack, but try it out before you decide. And maybe wait until the codex comes out for gameplay purposes. Keep it up, I'd love to see a shot with a jump pack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Alucard Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks Ziggy. I'm going to paint all but the backpack, then will decide once the codex is out. RL permitting, I should have some painted pictures up tomorrow. (oops, it's nearly 1am so that will be today!!!!) I'll try and do a shot with a jump pack attached later too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Alucard Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Ok, managed to do a fair bit tonight. Pictures are still very poor, will take some more when there's daylight. Red is pretty much done, helmet and right shoulder pad still need a lot. Then there's just touch ups. Have removed the shield for to make my life easier for a while.

Dhx711 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Looks good. I like the kneeing pose. As a current BA player I'd say do the jp or magnetize both for the options. If the leaked dex that is out there is accurate you'll want the jp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Alucard Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 yeah, will paint both options and wait for the codex. More pics later today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Alucard Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 With the exception of the base and choice of backpakc/jump pack, he's done. (Really need to get some new batteries for my cam the focus is out due to low power. Will edit asap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
