tiny sam Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 after a short break I'm back on my paint board! here is a squad I begin some time ago part by part that I decided to finish. my command squad. First a group shot for a generic view: Detail view of the different characters the captain, Robert 1er d'Artois (I put a un-primed version as it's easier to see the details) I was planning to use the real heraldry of Count Robert 1st of Artois on his shield, but I must admit I have no idea how I will make the castles. the apoticary Raynaud de Flory the only one completed the Sergent, I need a name for this one (medieval european that can be found around 1200 A.D.) he's an ex deathwath member and wield a thunder mass Standard bearer, need a name for this guy too I will probably put the heraldry of the captain on this big banner and put something else on the captain's shield Company champion, also need a name for this guy nothing impressive, just a plain company champion and finaly a generic expendable guy I realy like him :lol: I'll post finished version as soon as they are completed! Comments and criticis (and help for the names :P) are welcomed and expected thanks!

tiny sam Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ok I'm an horribly slow painter... but here is a quick update I made good progress on the vanilla veterant, just need a few touch up, Pistol bolter is not finish, lettering the scrolls, fixes the chapter symbol and every thing you might find! Comments and critics are welcomed! Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2787791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codicier Lucion Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Nice use of templar like iconography on the banners and pauldrons to reflect the knightly feel of the squad and the use of greenstuff to add cloth over the armour. Mind if I ask what colours and layers of paint you used for the latest guy's helmet? EDIT: Coherency.

tiny sam Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 if your talking about the white helmet, I youse these 1 layer of astronomican grey (to cover the black and be able to put the first layer of white) 1 thin layer of white a 50:50 azuramen blue\water wash 1 or more layer of white on the plain surface.

tiny sam Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Some Progress have been made on the company's champion the "Fleurs de lys" are just at a draft state, they will get better with subsequent work What do you thinks?

Leardinal Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I like how this is coming along. The generic marine's pose is great "You! Yes, You! Stay there, I have something for you..." If the Fleurs de lys will only get better, then I can't wait to see them finished. Those checkers...so, small...hurts to think about painting...

tiny sam Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 The generic marine's pose is great"You! Yes, You! Stay there, I have something for you..." he's still a veteran :) If the Fleurs de lys will only get better, then I can't wait to see them finished. Those checkers...so, small...hurts to think about painting... At firts it seem like a good idea but yeah it's a pain to do B) thanks for your comment ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2799091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 I almost finish the champion. after seeing the pictures I realised I still had some touch up to do with de shield, as the chapter symbole is realy messy. I really don't know how I should make the power sword, does some of you have an idea for lightning or energy waves (don't realy know how i would made that though) here is how it comes: Front : Back : Sides : Comments and Critics are always welcomed!

tiny sam Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 I would say the compagny champion is finish what do you think? Next one should be the Sergeant with the Power Mace Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2804513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leardinal Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 The generic marine's pose is great"You! Yes, You! Stay there, I have something for you..." he's still a veteran :mellow: Bah! It was late and you said "Generic Veteran" in your first post, your lucky I didn't call him a Guardsman at that point <_<. The champion looks good, but close up the lightning effect isn't as sharp as I thought. The fork of energy going off to the side looks...wrong, I can't figure out how to describe it. Still, it's about a thousand times better then any energy effect I have tried, so take my advice however you see fit. The Fluer de lys look fantastic ;).

tiny sam Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 thanks for the comment Leardinal, you're right about the sword, I'll have to fix it... later here is the Sergeant veteran of the captain's command squad, his second in command, and probably his best friend. i'm pretty happy to how the head turns out, but seeing the pic I just remark I totaly forget.... his bolter.... comments and critics are welcomed Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2807757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Love these. Definitely giving off the vibe of "space-knights" for sure. Cant wait to see more.

tiny sam Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 the Complete version of the Count-Captain Francois of Artois can be found in the hall of honor and I started a new squad, Squad Pierre 1th of Britain. As for my other squad I will used this real crusader heraldry as a squad marking. I began by the special weapons of the squad. the flash made a realy nice glowing effect :) and here is a teaser for the rest of the squad comments, critics and advice are welcomed and expected Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2842133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I love the heraldry in both design and execution. Not to mention ambition. It really makes me feel bad for being daunted by the idea of painting the single battle flag I've got designed for my Sisters army. Very neat, and also inspiring me to try to practice freehand more.

chaplain belisarius Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I was thinking of doing a chapter themed around the noble, chivalrous knight... nice army-is it meant to be a bit brettonnian?

tiny sam Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 I was thinking of doing a chapter themed around the noble, chivalrous knight... nice army-is it meant to be a bit brettonnian? if your talking of the Fantasy bretonnian army, well no. I'm drawing my inspiration directly from the 7th crusade and the Heraldry of the time. the bretonnian probably used the same inspiration ^_^ and like I said to philsminions, feel free to used any thing I did (after all I only re-used the historical fact ^_^) I should soon write an article to the librarium for this chapter.

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Why do the best logs get so few replies?

tiny sam Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 Why do the best logs get so few replies? beacause people are being distracted by power armored unicorn poney ;) thanks for your support guys it really help ! I've manage to finish two battle brothers for squad Pierre 1st I tried to make the scabbard to fit with the squad heraldry keep in mind that none of the bases are done yet, I keep that for the end.

Warsmith Aznable Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I like the guy reaching behind for his blade, that's a good action pose. Are you going to do anymore crazy heraldry guys, or is the Cross of St. George going to be the standard for the average Marine and the fancy stuff just for the Force Commander? Maybe more designs for squad leaders? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2845045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 actualy, the squad has an herald that will display the Coat of arms of Pierre 1er de Bretagne one of the guy with a sword will also have a shield with that on to (it has been removed for painting purpose) and the chapter's symbole is the Cross of Jerusalem (the ordinary battle-brothers don't have the right of bearing the full symbole with the 4 '+') Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231115-order-of-saint-gergorys-log/#findComment-2845368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
