Brother Nezulius Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Hi guys! After base coat spraying this model, I never got to actually painting him. I think he finally had enough of waiting and used a Jedi mind trick on me... I finished it today in one long painting session of 12 hours. Guess his other Honour Guard friends will get jealous now... damn there goes the neighbourhood... ;) Anyway, enough talking. Here is the model. Hope you like it! http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/7850/umchapterbannerveteran.jpg C&C is always welcome. Ow and by the way, I know the scroll still needs some text on it. Need to buy a new micro pen for it... ;) Bye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyanamiKun Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Wow, I really like it :lol: I guess mine won't look as good when I get around to painting him ... ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nezulius Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 I was thinking about putting just "Ultramarines" as the scroll text. But then I thought...maybe it would be cool to put something in Latin on it. Anybody know a cool Latin text I can put on it? Please post it below! I was thinking about the Latin translation for "The immortal Emperor"", "Holy Terra" or just "Ultramarines". What do you think? :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sondar Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have also been looking into latin inscriptions. There are a bunch of english to latin translators out there. http://www.stars21.com/translator/english_to_latin.html You have to play around with it a bit. I had a go at "They shall know no fear" and got something that translated as they will not ford a swallow body of water. :) The problem is that latin has a lot less words than english so you have to approximate. Et ignoro terror = they know no fear Sanctus Terra = Holy Terra Imperator servo = The Emperor Protects My wife did GCSE latain at school, she can't remember all of it but can at least tell me if my translation is stupid or in the wrong tense.

Brother Nezulius Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Ah thanks. I think I will go for option number 3. I really like the text "And they shall know no fear"... but the translation just doesn't look cool enough somehow. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Well painted model, its better then my own chapter banner. Well done :lol: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LardO'Blood Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Nice model! I actually prefer, "Et terrorem ignorerunt" for "And they shall know no fear" Yours is, "And I/fear knows". You have fear, who is you, not knowing something :lol: (Two subjects and no direct object) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
