Squeaky Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 They are all wonderful models you have there :) but for me the white scar is the best. His boltgun/crossbow is awesome!

One-eye Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 Long time no updates, but finally two more tactical members managed to get through. Only the sergeant left to complete my second tac squad After that sergeant I'll maybe make a break for a brand new project (10k years older ? ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230273-phoenix-knights-expeditionary-force-1st-2nd-cie/page/13/#findComment-3557654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 High standard of painting and converting. Very motivating that's for sure.

The Yak Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Your Deathwatch Kill Team is simply the best one I have seen. Superb. Love the way you have captured the character of each chapter rather than just painted a shoulder pad. Your Phoenix Knights are top drawer also. Painting skill and modelling. All the best for 2014. I hope you are as productive as this year!

One-eye Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share Posted December 31, 2013 @ Forte : thanks mate, your plog is the same :) @ Anaziel : Secret ! But it will be more "grimdark" than my PK (which tend to be on the good/clean/modern side of the Adeptus Astartes). Expect battle damage & blood @ The Yak : thanks a lot, I've put great effort into making small but characterfull conversions. Your compliment motivates me. & btw I hope to be more productive in 2014 :wink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230273-phoenix-knights-expeditionary-force-1st-2nd-cie/page/13/#findComment-3557742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 It is. Or maybe more than one... :wink: The HH has caught me, and it will be kind of a 2014 vow for me. More incoming soon !

War Angel Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Can I kidnap you and then pay you to paint some models for me? I wouldn't kidnap you persay, I just feel like it might open up your schedual to work more on the models.

War Angel Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Please tell us how to do bolters like that. It would mean less kidnapping.

One-eye Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Bolters ? You can't do simpler than me. Black undercoat, grey lining. Wash the metal with badab black and then devlan mud (don't know new references). Highlight with silver. Done ! :) Hope I won't be kidnapped. Need to paint my sergeant and begin my Legion.

The_Chaplain Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 looking at your minis makes me a better person Quoted for truth. Fantastic blog you've made here brother. Can you provide insight as to how you achieved the color gradation and pattern on the phoenix talon weapon and/or what colors were used for the orange OSL on the plasma weapons? They are both quite marvelous.

That Guy Matt Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm gonna open with a couple of admissions, 1) I skipped through just looking at the pictures and didn't read much else, and 2) I've become somewhat of a sceptic regarding DIY Chapters. That said, these guys are awesome. The little fluff I saw is characterful enough without being overdone and what many DIY Chapters suffer from IMHO ridiculous. The colour scheme again is simple while still being unique. You've established a strong consistant aesthetic and your painting is top notch. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

One-eye Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 @ jimmy101 : made me laugh :D @ the chaplain : Thanks a lot. It's the same process for both, and basically what you can find for any flame or fire effect : from black, paint reddish brown (scorched earth), then orange, yellow and at last white. Try to avoid red it's not realistic, and blend smoothly. @ Asamodai : I basically agree with you, the fluff has expanded lately with a lot of chapters to pick up from, making DiY unecessary. At the time I created my DiY, it was far less, and I wanted a knightly chapter. Dark angels and black templars didn't fit for what were my demands : mechanized, "modern", and "good" (in the salamanders meaning of it). Btw I try to keep my fluff low profile and avoid overdoing it. After all, a young & unknown chapter shouldn't have won many campains nor possessing the best duellist/sniper/captain, etc... I hope to be able to write a IA one day. And I think yellow + black > all :D To conclude, I could have done IF... :wink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230273-phoenix-knights-expeditionary-force-1st-2nd-cie/page/13/#findComment-3564258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 After a long break, I'm back in the saddle again (@ Aerosmiths). My hobby time will mainly be focused on my HH White Scars, but I wanted to finish the last member of my second tac squad : the veteran sergeant Eudes, one of the most experienced brother of the 2nd company, and his holy combi-plasma. A little view of the full squad (display cabinet shot) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230273-phoenix-knights-expeditionary-force-1st-2nd-cie/page/13/#findComment-3796887 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-eye Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks Anaziel ! I'm wondering if I should go on with 2 Rhinos for the tacs or something more appealing like a Stormtalon or Stormraven... (I have everything in store). And to avoid a monosentence comment, I've got a half army group shot :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230273-phoenix-knights-expeditionary-force-1st-2nd-cie/page/13/#findComment-3797673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Definitely go with the flier! A flier would fit the whole phoenix imagery perfectly. Ps. Incredible paint work on the marines.
