The Crimson Cartel Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hello fellow BA Brethren. This is my 1st WIP posting, and I just felt like sharing. My project started out with the idea to build a more modern Dante (cant stand the older models) and quickly turned into Dante, plus some guys to use with him. So without further ado, here is my take on Dante and his Honor Guard/Vanguard as the need arises. Dante Honor Guard Banner Bearer Sang Priest * All model are going to be running JP's , which will help out their look (especially Dante and the Priest.) I'll keep updating as they come along. Thanks for looking! -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm def a fan of anyone reinventing older models like Dante, Mephiston and Tycho especially when using the beautiful Sanguinary Guard kit. They look really good so far. Mr.Malevolent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Blood Donator Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 They are brilliant. Just don't froget that the Sang. Initiate for honour guard can't take any kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seva Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Great poses on those models. They are going to look great painted up. You have really good motion in the poses- the models look like they are getting ready to assault. Looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losfer Werds Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Off to a great start so far. I'm sure you'll do the chapter proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykra Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hello fellow BA Brethren. -CC I love these models/poses! If it was me, I'd put an Inferno Pistol on this guy, and call him my Counts As Dante and the two swords explains the master-crafted weapon. He just looks like he's so ready to lay a beatdown on someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cartel Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Greetings Brothers. Back again for another update. At this point, the armor is done save for a few small touch-ups here and there. Details and weapons will be next on the adgenda. C&C always welcome. Enjoy!

Demoulius Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i know theyre WIP (nice poses btw :)) but the armor strikes me more as bronze then it does gold...is this intentional? (or is the armour missing a final coat or something? :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_son_of_Dorn Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 love the camera angels you took these from and they are shaping up very nicely. Well done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cartel Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 i know theyre WIP (nice poses btw :D) but the armor strikes me more as bronze then it does gold...is this intentional? (or is the armour missing a final coat or something? :) ) Demo- The armor color is intended, I wanted something different from metallic gold (a color I hate.) Also, I've used sang guard parts, but won't run them as such due to their loadout. So while it may not match the fluff exactly, it will still give Dante and his unit a distinct look on the table. Hope this clears it up a bit. Also... I have the advantage of never claiming these were NMM gold. ;) -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Have you got a recipe for the armour? It looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Drop Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The poses on these models are so good. Im also loving the 'non metalic' look as heck the armour.. And yes, do u have a recipie for the armour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also loving the 'non metalic' look as heck the armour.. And yes, do u have a recipie for the armour? Sure Brothers, I actually can't claim originality for the scheme, as I pretty much lifted it from from fellow B&C alum DezartFox. 1.Grey Primer 2. 2 coats of sepia wash 3. thin coat of bone on areas that you want to look lighter on the armor, as well as on the areas you want to "pop" (wings, drops,etc.) 4. wash of sepia 5. wash of devlan After that i went back over any areas with bone that i wanted to bring out more, and then re-washed those areas with sepia * Taking DezartFoxes advice on the washes is key here. Heavily Pool the wash on, don't "paint" it on. Make sure you let each layer dry before carrying on. Have fun! -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinarian Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 They ALL look great, but I found a couple of things that may not be represented correctly. At least not yet as the project is not finished. ;) Disclaimer: I can give a rat's tookas, but in official tournies, WYSIWYG reigns supreme. Dante is missing an Iron Halo; HG - as referred to in C:BA - wear PA, not AA; and as much as I love that Sang. Priest, he can only be used as the Elite choice version because of his upgrades. The Honour Guard's Sanguinary Novitiate can ONLY be represented with: PA; BG or Bp; Chainsword; F&K grenades; and a Blood Chalice of some sort. ;) Otherwise, IT ALL LOOKS GOOD TO ME!!!

Trust i've got this one covered :); HG - as referred to in C:BA - wear PA, not AA Per our fluff, all our marines have more ornate and personalized armor than say your standad fair marine, so like I said, sang Guard parts, Honor/Van rules.; and as much as I love that Sang. Priest, he can only be used as the Elite choice version because of his upgrades. The Honour Guard's Sanguinary Novitiate can ONLY be represented with: PA; BG or Bp; Chainsword; F&K grenades; and a Blood Chalice of some sort. ;) To be honest, i'm still unsure as to what to do with mr. Priest. I had the Sang bits layin around,wanted to use em up, and went for the Bad :P axe. Now I happen to have a chain axe or 2 around as well, so if i can figure our a way to combine the two.... we'll see Otherwise, IT ALL LOOKS GOOD TO ME!!! * Blue Bold emphasis mine All good point Sang. I totally agree with you about WYSIWYG, and I dont play tourneys much. If I end up fielding these guys, it will mostly be in friendlies anyway. Keep checkin back for updates Brother -CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilbeetles Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I love the mod on Dante's inferno pistol and the poses everyone is in are well done and expressive! Top notch, bro :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cartel Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I'm back again brothers! This time we have the semi-finals of all the models;all that is left is their bases. I tried some new techniques on these guys, and I think some went great, others... just ok. But i'm more than happy. The armor is my favorite, along with the poses. I tried some power weapon effects on the blades (just ok imho) and glowing jump packs ( again just ok.) I had fun re-inventing Dante. All in all a fun project. I may actually look at getting these guys in some games... we'll see. C&C always welcome, anything that strikes ya, i'm always looking to improve and put feedback to use. Enjoy! -CC Dante Honor/Van Priest - After much thought and consideration, I decided to do a weapon conversion on the Sang Priest. I did it mostly so I could WYSIWYG him in my HG squad. Still have some misgivings about getting rid of that axe though... :huh: Anyway here is is with his "chainsword" and Exsang conversion. Group *More shots and angles available in my Gallery. Enjoy!
