Knights of the Dark Blade


Recommended Posts

Its been a while since a posted some wips pics on the B&C.

 

Its been a long time since i wanted to do another army then my World Eaters Legion.

 

I thought of it through and hard and finnaly decided to pu togheter an army that as the same play styles as a White scars army(thus leaded by Kor'sarro Khan).

 

I got inspired by various things:the events of the Horus Heresy et more particully the Istvaan Massacre,a bit of WoW Death Knights and even some Berserk stuffs.

 

The story short is that they where a bunch of survivors from the different Legions on Istvaan,only the ones who had the time to run to a secure place enough deep in the maze of tunnels and catacombs underneath the plaents surface.

 

After the orbital strikes ceased and the cataclysmic fire storm went out,they managed to find some ships and a Thunderhawk who din't suffer much of the bombing.

 

They have sworn to dedicate there lives to revenge,and they shall wash there honnour in the blood of there former brethrens.

 

They are in a Hunt that nows long for 10.000 years,they Hunt down every single CSM and strikes with speed and relenless fury into the heart of the most dreaded foe of Humanity.

 

They are Forsaken to fight until the end,

They are hungry for vengeance,

They are the Knights of the Dark Blade.

 

2 Test Minis.

Ok little update.

 

I've made a new Librarian mini.

 

I really wasn't satisfied with the previous mini.

 

This one is more like it.

WOW!!

 

i love these models, infact I kinda want to steal the idea and start a similar army of my own, kudos.

 

A tutorial on the dread would be awesome, i've wanted to do a similar thing with my space wolves dreads (massive axes and shields) but that didn't turn out too well.

 

Once again great job.

 

Cheers.

Thanks guys ^^

 

Hjaertrr> well the Dread legs arn't that complicated to do.

 

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9034/img0903qi.th.jpg

 

Like you can see on this pic i simply cut the lower part of the Dread legs,where you are supposed to glue the foots.

 

Then i cut the sentinel upper legs so that i only have the lowest half where the holes are located.

 

I glued those on the Dread legs.

 

I even cut clean one of the Hipe/Leg junction to move it a bit forward,this way i can easly control the final position of the legs.

 

You can do that by for exemple you glue this part back on the hipe but the highest possible,that it is nearly horizontal,this way you can put a rock or a wrecked vehicle or something else on the base and make so that your dread look like stepping on it.

 

For the rest you only have to mount and adjust the rest of the sentinel leg parts the way you want.

 

I personnaly cut all the toes of the Sentinel foot,this way it fitted nicely into the dread foots,this way you have way bigger looking foots for your Dread.

 

The remaining toes of the Sentinel feet i put them on the three first toes of the Dread foots,this way it give's a more larger and stable look to the foots.

If you look closely at the Dread feets in the back of this pic you'll see what i mean.

 

For axes all i can give is this:

 

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/5430/img0681fx5.th.jpg

 

Its the Axe of one of my 5 Bloodthirsters.

 

I simply cut a plasticard sheet and give a rhough form with my clipper.

 

I then even the edges with a large scrapfiller in the whole length so that it stay even on all the length of the edge.

I also used my clipper to make cuts in it and give it a "teeth" or "saw" look.

 

Its one of the simpliest and yet most accurate axe you can make without been a great sculpting artist.

 

Its easier to keep a simple design,and then had detailes on the blade like i did with the Axe or my Dread Knight blade.

Little up with one of my Sergents

I always wanted to make a pose like this.

 

By the look of it,those two arn't saying sweet things to each other...

 

The blade that this Sergent wear is one of the Army "Dark Blades",those 2 handed Blades are obviously a tribut to Gutts Dragon Slayer Blade(Berserk),they count as Power gloves,the ones that i'm gonna make on my Assault Termies will count as Thunder hammers AND Stormshield:because they are skilled enougth with those blades that they can use them to deflect and parry incoming shoots/strikes (juste like our Gutts buddy in Berserk where he deflect a cannon ball by angling his blade)

Thanks ^^,but you can hardly speak of an army:there's only 4 models so far ^^.

 

But i think i will take it slowly this way i will get enougth time to paint everything.

 

Not like my World Eaters army where i'd buy for 800$ of minis in 1 month and finished a bit discouraged to paint everything.

I put the shoulders pads on the right(left for you),in the lenght way to mark a hierarchic difference between Veterans and the other Marines.

Lots and lots of mold lines.

 

I've recently cleaned about fifty old Marines of mine of their mold lines, so I'm a bit more sensitive on them now. When I look at your pictures, I can hardly take in any detail because all I see are those mold lines, aargh ^^

 

Seriously, though. Good ideas and conversions all around, but you should take some more time preparing your miniatures before assembly

He will have a Assault Canon mounted on the back and used by a Speed-Looney Marines,and his maw will count as a Heavy flamer or a Multi Melta.

 

Those Dragons are originated from the same world as the Spectral Chargers,some rare specimens are able to absorb ambiant Warp Energy and release a concentrated ray of pur energy,capableof melting rock,steel and flesh alike.

WarinHeaven> yeah the Dragon only "seems" too small,but for whatever raison on the pic it doesn't come as good as it should be,but height and wide are rhoughly the same as a speeder.

 

Thanks for the comments.

 

Here's is my Cmd Sqaudron finished!
