commander alexander Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Excellent stuff Brother Melice, but a quick note on Captain Garro. Unless your model and artwork are post-Heresy, there wouldn't be an Inquisition yet, so there wouldn't be any =][= 's. I would completely understand if you wanted to keep it for the cool factor though :) .

Brother Melice Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 An excellent point on the =][=, I wanted to give a hint of the beginning of the Inquisition, same as was dome in the novel " Flight of the Eisenstein, but maybe there is a better way of showing it.

commander alexander Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I don't have any ideas on how to hint at it. After all, Garro had no idea that he would be one of the founding members either. Or that he would be founding anything, or that there would be an =][=.

Brother Melice Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hail Brothers, I know that it has been ages since I posted any updates... but things were going a little crazy in real life.... but, here is the update, and proof that I'm still alive and kicking! So, at some point this crazy idea hit me, I wanted to enter the Armies on parade contest that was started by GW, thankfully there is a GW store about 20min from me. The contest rules are 1 HQ choise, at least two units.... and that's about it. here is a link to the GW post about Armies on Parade First I needed a theme, after a lot of thinking, gallons of coffee, and sleepless nights, I decided on a patrol theme... Talking to a Megamind of Ideas, my brother, he suggested, not exactly a patrol, but a pacification, sweep up Op. Now the setting, was the next step. again, more sleepless nights, the theme and setting was decided... SLUMS!!! A force of marines sweeping through slums, and killing anything in their paths! More than that, tanks running over buildings, assault marines jumping from roof to roof, speeders skimming over a suspended bridge and so forth. this is what I have done so far, the force of marines, and the buildings themselves. no to the pics. I am sorry that the pics might be a little dark, but there are a lot of these so I did not spend the time to edit them. some details of the buildings, there will be a lot of small details. like a pigeon coop, a roof garden, small things that will bring the story and the setting to life, it's the little things that matter the most, right??? A freight container. Shack I decided to go with ten Sturn Guard, one Tactical squad, an Assault Squad, a Chaplain with jump pack for HQ, and a number of tanks mauling through the slums. The Chaplain. Here is the overall setup of the board with the units in place.

Brother Melice Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 11 days to go!!! I'm going into my panic mode, cuz, the board is not done! and the Army is still raw!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!! any one have an air brush?????????????? can I borrow for a couple of days???? but any way, I did a couple of craters with the green crystals, and I love how they look!!! I promise pics after I'm done.... But my major concern is the bridge, which I think I'm going to ether remove altogether, or simplify. right now I don't have time to finish it properly.... and I hope to see anyone who can make it to Sterling VA for the judging on the 25th!!!

MagicMan Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 One thing you might want to reconsider, some of the tiberium crystals shine light onto where some of your models will be standing, it'll look weird unless the lights also on the model which could be a lot of work and slightly ruin the model for the sake of a display board... May want to move those tiberium deposits. Awesome display board though man.
