Traitor's Bane Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Last weekend, I decided to start a Tyrant's Legion army. The main reasons pushing this project are Retaliators and Corpse Takers (and the general mixed armour look). I expect to have full squads built and painted by end of week, until then here is my test piece (a Retaliator) minus the shoulder insignias, I will be adding the insignias and weathering all at once, when the rest of the squad is finished. Looking forward to sharing the army as it grows, it has been a while since I have had a full army and I really want to have at least 1500pts built up and painted.

GooseDaMoose Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 That is pretty dope. I don't normally like metallic Power Armour but I most definitely approve! The shield looks great aswell. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Awesome. I will be watching this, the Astral Claws have a really nice colour scheme imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traitor's Bane Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks for the kind comments Lots of bits I was waiting arrived this morning, so I was able to build up the rest of 1st Cohort and the Retaliators: With the colour scheme all worked out, it should not take me too long to get this group painted, which means I need to start thinking about what I want to add next. The mixed armour seems to be working out visually so I will continue the trend, I really love the way my Retaliators are turning out, they just suitably brutal. As much as I want to do some armoured units I may stick to fleshing out the troops a bit more, perhaps a second Cohort or maybe Rhino transports. Thanks for looking.

Traitor's Bane Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 The Cohort is well under way now, despite losing time to army list writing, I now have a second squad fully built and ready for priming this afternoon. Parts for Carnac Commodus are on the way and I hope to get the minor conversion built for next week as I am away this weekend. This is the final colours for "line troops", I am sticking to silver rim and blue shoulders for basic Marines, while using gold rim for veterans and officers. The basic line troops will have Tyrant's Claw insignias while, vets and officers will have a combination of the Tyrants Claw and Astral Claws heraldry. I am expecting my first piece of armour today, in the form of a Medusa siege tank, unfortunately I am not sure if I will be able to show it on this blog and will have to reserve progress for my personal blog. For anyone interested in the human elements of this force, feel free to check them out over the coming weeks on my personal blog (see signature for details). Thanks for reading.

subtlebrush Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow these are looking really good. I'm always a fan of well done metallic armour (must be that Grey Knight in me bubbling to the surface in anticipation for April) and yours sure hit it on the head. Count me as subscribed!

Tyrannicide Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Awesome start, I'm particularly fond of the OSL eyes on the first trooper. I haven't read IA 10 yet, but the Astral Claws look quite menacing. In the last picture you posted the Marine in the center looks stocky and powerful, an effect I really like. What chestplate is it?
