spu00sed Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Like many people I have caught Grey knight Fever and I am also in the small group in which the fever has developed to another stage. In my case it has resulted in me creating the Emperor’s Lions Grand Master http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Grandmaster.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Grandmaster2.jpg Librarian http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Librarian1.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Librarian2.jpg Companions http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Companions1.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Companions2.jpg Emperor’s spears First squad http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/spears2a.jpg Second squad http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/spears1a.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/spears1b.jpg Proof of concept interceptor http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Interceptor3.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Interceptor2.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Interceptor1.jpg Vindicare http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Emperors%20Lions/Vindicare.jpg As you can see I have gone down the custodies route (marines with power halberds are so cool ;) ) I still need to wash the gold in leviathan purple then edge in gold and mithril.

Olis Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Not bad but there are details that need picking out still - metallic components usually done in boltgun metal or chainmail like particular parts on the boltguns you have. A little more colour might stop these guys looking statuesque... ;) Don't get me wrong they look okay but they don't look complete.

Dosjetka Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I have to agree with above. Not enough details have come out and there's just too much gold. Maybe try to highlight the red for it to stand out a bit more and try and shade the gold too. Otherwise, the conversions are spot on :) Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228918-emperors-lions/#findComment-2745184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Looking good so far, the gold is solid, I just think you need to get some regular metals in there and perhaps give the red more highlights (almost orange perhaps?). The thing that bugs me most is the lack of a contrast color, something that stands out, on a small scale. Try getting some blue in there somewhere on some purity seals?

Tybrus Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Love what you have done, but I agree that the gold though great, need a bit more detail work. I love the look a flesh wash gives to gold. Used on the detail parts like the engravings etc. Just my 2 cents...

spu00sed Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks for the replies. The gold isn;t done, but I wanted the army to be table top ready. It is going to have a purple wash then highlighted up. I will also brighten the red, with some highlights.

spu00sed Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 I have managed to do some more work on my Emperor’s Lions. I haven’t increased the detail, they still need the purple wash and highlighting. Instead I have painted up 5 more companions and blinged up the Grand master.
