sword brethren Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 hey B&Cers i have been quiet for a while and in that time i have decided to take a small break from my iron warriors to focus on a marine army. i love the dark metal look so ill stick to that but its a little different... does it look ok? the symbol im thinking of using the the templar cross in red, the other markings will be in white. as with all my other armies i like doing HQs first so soon i will have my chapter master to make, first it will be the chapter champion and if all goes well some honour guard. basically this is me getting up and running with warhammer again for the first time in a while after finally being allowed to paint in my room at uni (if i dont make a mess ;) ) any ideas are welcome and i hope to have champion pics during the weekend :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It looks good,although personally I would change the helmet to one colour,but thats your choice. As for a name, I would go with Iron Templars, as it ges with their colour and icon. Bye!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Cool colour scheme but I agree make the helmet all red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 thanks for the feedback guys. i may agree with you on the helmet thing, maybe just for sergeants? i did want a more individual helmet just because i want it to be a bit different but i dont like banners so a red helmet at the front of the squad could work. P.s. @ cheesey - thats the name i had in mind to, looks like it will stick :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 will it be grey or Boltgun? definitivly change the helmet color. if your not fixed on the cross style you might want to look at the Symbols of the faction taking part in the crusade (the real crusade) (it doesn't cost anything) do some test model :), NOW! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubernator Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looks good. What colours do you have planned for each part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looks good. What colours do you have planned for each part? thanks ;) im thinking of darkening boltgun metal for the most of it. a dark red, highlighted with blood red (mechrite?) and chaos black. i have no idea about what i should do for the eyes.

Hubernator Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Well okay. For the darkened Boltgun Metal use a few coats of the black wash - that should do the trick. Darkened red, well you can always use Scab Red basecoat then blood red with red wash. Perhaps some gold in there on the chest eagle and the eyes. Burnished gold would look suitable.

(High Marshall not named yet) he will be a proxy calgar as i love dual power fists! this is the model he will be based on, with a few changes. the hands of the big fella! if anybody has ideas for where i could put the storm bolter (like calgars, over the shoulder, anything!) then please suggestion because i need a way of doing it without ruining detail on the power fists. thanks for looking :P P.S. also if anybody is considering scibor to buy stuff then they have my blessing! i got my order promptly and the quality is outstanding, i only have good things to say about scibor.

It might put a intersting contrast with the "holyness" of your chapter master mini. Something like the black templar Cenobyte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Servo Skull for the Storm Bolter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkin Arenis Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Over the shoulder, definitely. Like there's a tracking device in each fist, so the Bolters follow the movement of the fists, or the head... Nice simple colour scheme there, mate - the original split-colour helm reminds me of my Sons Blue/White scheme XD And looking forward to seeing this bad boy finished ;) My £0.02 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 thanks for the replies fraters :geek: @tiny sam : i like that idea alot and i would use it if it wasn't for the fact that with twin power fists you can't hold a bolter, so the carrying of one beside you become slightly redundant, i may use it for another HQ if i do one though ;) @WingsoftheFalcon : it doesn't seem very personal, it seems more as if he NEEDS protecting by a servo skull which makes him look weak, im also sure he would prefer to smite the enemies of mankind himself rather than have a mindless drone shoot for him. @ Dragonkin Arenis : thanks ;) im not sure how i would do that on closer inspection of the model, not alot of room for servo arms, once i converted the back to look a bit terminatory ill have another look at whether its a viable way forward. not really an update, more of a reply and telling people that i have no glue as parents threw it away... so im off to buy cheap superglue and build :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 hello people i have a substantial update. test paint! obviously a bit rough in places as it is a test but you can see that he is part of the second company, first squad i also have pics of a High Marshall fully built and awaiting spraying. how does he look? later ill have pics of his champion who i can now build and a little fluff on champion as they play a very important role within the chapter as well as being part of a different doctrine of hierachy thanks SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 looking great though the positioning of the model suggests to me his left hand should be higher to match his face direction and watch those mould lines ;) its the first thing picked up by people and distracts from a model,personally i hate it when i paint a model then see it close up and realise i have missed a mould line :eek :rolleyes: looking forward to more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 looking good, but i can still see the blood angels drop of blood icon on his right powerfist. are you planning to change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I love everything about the model, except the chest piece. Thats Scibors failing though, not yours. It looks like he needs to do some more PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 @daemonclaw : thanks, how do you mean with the left fist? @wicced : i hadn't noticed but i assure you it is gone now, thanks for picking it out @Marshal2 Crusaders : what do you mean by PT? i have my champion update as promised as well as some fluff! The Hierachy in the Chapter goes in this order High Marshall High Champion High Captain - High Chaplain - Master of the Forge Battle Captain - Chaplain Company Champion Battle Champion Techmarine The High Marshall chooses his High Champion from the High Captains, this champion will eventually take his place when he dies. In every company there is one High Captain and a Chaplain. the High captain has 2 lesser commanders under his command known as Battle Captains, they will eventually take command of the company (either through death or promotion of the High Captain) The the Company Champions are the next Battle Captains and are trained at the High Captains side until promotion (either to death or promotion of a battle captain) Battle Captains have their own Champions known as battle champions, they will rise to the rank of Company Champion (either through death or promotion of a Company Champion) Battle Champions are chosen from the most able Sergeants in the company. i hope that fluff made sense, just an idea of how the chapter chooses and maintains a consistant and well traines command. this is the chapters high champion, he is at his masters side at all times. thanks for looking :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword brethren Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 looking very good...whats the fluff? what codex are you using? :) thanks ;) ill be using the normal marine codex as a newer chapter would get access to newer gear, the fluff stuff was just details on how the hierarchy of the chapter was layed out and how members of higher ranks were chosen from current marines that were prepared for the task.
