arutha Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 These are just a few things ive worked on in the last few weeks. I am trying to get inspired to start a new army. I did a test model for a Pre-Heresy Emeperors Children Now Hawk Lords. (Captain Mold Line i know!) http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/ec5.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/ec4.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/ec3.jpg I really like the color Scheme. Let me know what you think about The Hawk Lords. Thanks for Looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 That purple is divine! I really like the Crimson Fist Terminators as well. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolffan Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Emperor's Children is amazig, especially purple... Golden NMM on aquila is awesome too.I think, that this mini would look even better with the same gold at shoulderpad trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arutha Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Alright so, going to roll with The EC. The shoulder Pad is an issue at the moment. I dont know if I am ambitious or (talented) enough to free hand it? The metal ones from Gw are probably to small. May have to try to GS a mold and make them... This is what ive got so far. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/sarge2.jpg This guy will be the captain of the first Tac Squad. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/sarge1.jpg Not sure if I like the placement of the wing. Also made a press mold to hopefully mass produce them. (fingers crossed.) http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/ECWIP1.jpg Group Shot of what i have so far. C@C welcome and thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yeah the old metal EC pads are probably too small. I would say give a go at sculpting a claw attached to that wing and make some casts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boltergeist Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I have several of those-- they work pretty well on the current arms. If one is too snug you can use needlenose pliers on the inside to spread it a bit wider. All in all though the EC pads are one of the better sculpts of the older pads.

subtlebrush Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I actually have a few old metal pads like Iron Warriors and Black Legion. They are a bit small compared to the plastic pads. You could try a method like Boltergeist said and give em a bit of a stretch with some pliers. Never tried it myself but it should help give them some bulk.

Grotsmasha Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey dude, looking really nice, I'm a sucker for purple. Concerning your Jetbike I like it, but I'd like to suggest the Iron Shark jetbike from Kromlech, I started a thread in the Dark Angels sub-forum if your interested, it may still be on the 1st page. EDIT: link http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=231701 (Sorry phone wont do clicky link) Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arutha Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Those Jet Bikes are cool! do they come with the stand and base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Those Jet Bikes are cool! do they come with the stand and base? Unfortunately they don't, but they're resin, and really light, GW Landspeeder or lighter, so GWs flying bases are quite acceptable.

arutha Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Well the big update is I have decided to switch to Hawk Lords. To be honest, I just dont like the look of the pre heresy armor. Wouldnt make much sense to be pre-heresy and be equipped with modern weapons armor etc..However i Love the color scheme. Spent some time today, and there is quite a nice range of raven guard models available. So I should be able to outfit this army quite nice. Anyways a little more progress. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/HL1.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/DSC_1342.jpg http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee56/newsouth72/hl2.jpg Going to spend some time this week to plan this thing proper. Thanks for looking any C@C appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Um, that freehand chapter symbol looks oddly like the Emperor's Children's legion symbol. :confused: For the Hawk Lords symbol look here. Don't get me wrong, it's nice work. It's just the wrong symbol. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arutha Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 yes i know. This started out as a PHEC force. I ultimatly decided against it. I had already painted over the shoulder pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 *Facepalm* So that's what PHEC meant. Emperor's armpits I can be dense at times. Sorry for the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
