Hashshashin Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 Hey Guys, Sorry about the Threadromancy and taking so long to repost any progress on anything. First here's the MkIIc (I decided it wass a c pattern :D ) it's still WIP but I felt it was good enough to run in the tournament as was so I stopped and will resume as soon as I procure a can of gloss varnish so I can add further weathering effects and whatnot. Any way here's a couple shots: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/TFB8lJlezWI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/-IAQxR2KcQo/s1600/LR_grill.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/TFB8kay06OI/AAAAAAAAAJs/VAErLFgiMLc/s1600/LR_TOP.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/TFB8koEqrcI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/3PI2XAv35NU/s1600/LR_Front.jpg More pics here @mysideofthemirror: I just cut a peice of card to cover both doors then figured how big the side boxes needed to be and cut the angled peices long and just trimmed them down till I was happy (does that even make sense?). Once I figured out one side I just traced it and made a second one. the banding along the top and bottom are pre-cut strips of card and those were cut to match the flat peices Also the tourney was great there about 25-30 people and I finished somewhere in the middle, but did end up with the coveted 'Best Sportsman' award. Overall it was a great event and I really enjoyed it, if the guys throw it again next year I will definitely go. As far as my Fallen is concerned I decided to name him 'Eligos' and here's the wiki entry too for some more info if you care. The name just seemed to fit everything from my ideas for fluff to the sound of the name and the short length lending it the ability to add it to banners and such. and as one quick OT thing here's Eligos' (remeber he 'counts as' Straken) personal Vendetta gunship also a WIP: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/TFHjXz78P2I/AAAAAAAAALM/PJujGc3GEkw/s1600/Valk_fro.jpg and I wanted it show the DA chapter badge across the top: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/TFHjXEtpFVI/AAAAAAAAALE/ZJp_QW7oqhU/s1600/Valk_top.jpg As usual there is more info on my Blog So anyways, what do you guys think? Thanks for all the previous comments and suggestions B&C rocks! Hope everyone's well Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202346-true-scale-fallen/page/2/#findComment-2476664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pueriexdeus Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Now my question is... A DA Vendetta???? I like the Idea, so how are you going to play it??? A little ]I[ involvement maybe.

HsojVvad Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I love your plane. Vendetta it's called? I love it, I especially love how you did the Sword on the top. Just a quesiton. Is the sword broken or not? Hard to tell. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202346-true-scale-fallen/page/2/#findComment-2477454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxom Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 "Counts as Straken" = Brilliant! [And I may borrow the idea some day if you don't mind?] I love the gunship; that top down shot is great. Did you free hand it all or use any sort of template or guide?

Shard Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Now my question is... A DA Vendetta???? I like the Idea, so how are you going to play it??? A little ]I[ involvement maybe. He mentioned that it's a traitor Imperial Guard army being led by a fallen, not a DA-sanctioned army.

Hashshashin Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Thanks for all the positive feedback guys. Is the DA iconography too much on the Vendetta? I think it makes sense but this thread has got me thinkin...mmmmm.... @jaxom: I freehand drew the out line over the red, masked the red, then sprayed the black over and removed the mask. There's a few more details at the blog if you're interested. Shard is correct it's a 'counts as' army and is basically renegade guard led by Eligos the Fallen <Straken's rules are monstrous-he is better stat-wise in all regaurds except Initiative but his furious charge balances that out. I was going to write up some fluff and even due like a 'Codex Entry' for him but re-write the fluff and names of the rules to match him. ?: If I do indeed writ that up is that something I can post here or should I just post in my lig and link to it? Also people requested a group shot with him and the army, that should be going up onto the blog in the next couple days, I took a couple pics but they just looked crappy so nce I set everyone up I'l snap some more shots. Anyways thanks as always guys and lets try to keep the DA board full of interesting topics and thoughts.

Tomevans Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 All your models are fantastic mate, really well done. I like the battered and weathered look you have gone for and I think it fits perfectly with the fluff. Good stuff.

Driz Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Love the Fallen application! The model is out of the park... looks great! IMHO I think the damage level is appropriate for a 'Fallen' Keep up the Sweet work! :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202346-true-scale-fallen/page/2/#findComment-2480845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HsojVvad Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Don't you find it ironic, we as Dark Angel players, are commenting on how great a Fallen looks like? Good thing Asmodi is not around, I think we all would be going to cell 42 or what ever the room number is. :blush: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202346-true-scale-fallen/page/2/#findComment-2480869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashshashin Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 My plan is working!!! slowly but shurely the whole legion will fall mwhaamwhaa :blush: Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it. I'm just gonna sneak one shot of Eligos with his Freak Squad on the display base I'm working on for them. They're mostly not power armoured but he is :blush: Anyway check it: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/TFjRycxdFjI/AAAAAAAAANc/MptvaUymK3g/s1600/Com_Com_freaks.jpg Made the 'stone' part reddish thinking it would bring out the subtle greens, don't think it really shows in the pic, but what do you guys think is it working? (also I'm going to paint parts of their bases to match the red/tan 'stone' As usual if you're interested in more stuff you can click on 'Smoke Blood' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202346-true-scale-fallen/page/2/#findComment-2480889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
