The Sekhmet+HH Emperor's Children: Imperial Fists Deathwing 12/4/24

[Kizzdougs]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback, everyone!

First off, my heart just melted. The praetor is fantastic! And you have that picture of him side by side with the standard bearer *kissing finger tip gestures chefs do. Perfection!

And I gotcha now! I was thinking 'well, those power armored Suzerian are kind of sweet' and thought it was cool. Did not dawn on me he would be a terminator armored one. That idea sounds mighty fine! As for the Alpha Legion Terminator I need to see that! That sounds awesome! I tried to do an AL disguised as an Ultra where bits of the shiny, blue AL colors were showing here and there against the standard blue of the Ultramarines. That is at a 1 where your idea is at 11.

Hahaha, thanks bro! Really glad you like how he turned out.

Yeah, I recon it would be fun to add some Ultramarine/Roman style details to a Terminator. It'll be a bit of a challenge to pull off the Raven Guard/Alpha Legion scheme, but I recon that I can make it work :tu:

The finished article really looks awesome - having one leg off the ground gives a great sense of weight and momentum

That terminator's a thing of beauty Kizz, superb work

Incidentally, if you want some ideas for Legion-specific takes on termies, there's a few TDA concepts back in the series of Legion sketches I did over on my Heresy art thread - dunno how well they stand up nowdays, but I could collect any relevant stuff for you?

Thanks a lot bro! Glad you like the Terminator. I've always been a fan of your work so I'd would definitely appreciate any inspiration that you can give me

Okay, I want everyone to witness that you specifically asked for this haha

Iron Warriors:

Pretty self-explanatory, just an idea for a IW-style Tartaros termie

White Scars:

Same as above, was just working off the aesthetic of the WS infantry upgrades

Space Wolves:

You've now got the actual Varagyr minis, but the aesthetic is different enough that this might be a decent indication of what a 'line' SW termie might look like

Imperial Fists:

Really wanted to do a 30k-era take on Indomitus, and the Fists seemed like the perfect legion for it (actually made some rules / background for 'Hyperion Terminators': http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306729-ihfs-archive-sketching-the-heresy-status-update/?p=4683166 )

Night Lords:

Not Atramentar, but just a rough doodle of how NL Tartaros might look

Blood Angels:

Again, just a loose take on BA Tartaros

Iron Hands:

This was an idea for IH TDA Destroyers - Rad-based to differentiate them from the Grave Wardens - think Irad-cleansers & Rad missile launchers (again, these also got some background / rules: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306729-ihfs-archive-sketching-the-heresy-status-update/?p=4725295 )

World Eaters:

#

Okay, so the sketch turned out *awful*, but the core idea - WE terminators with twinned Lightning Claws with underslung bolters is something I still like (inspired by the old lore about the Gauntlets of Ultramar being taken from a dead Khorne champion) - also heavily inspired by this Mikhail Savier art: http://img0.reactor.cc/pics/post/Warhammer-40000-%D1%84%D1%8D%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%D1%8B-Space-Marine-Imperium-2491100.jpeg

Ultramarines:

I liked the idea of 'regal' Tarataros termies with duelling blades - I renamed them the 'Retentus' after the Varagyr were revealed

Ultramarines Retentus Command Cadre:

More a title of rank than a permanent formation, the Retentus are formed from the highest ranking veterans among the Evocatii chapters, those officers charged with ensuring new recruits into the Legion are forged into peerless soldiers befitting of the Ultramarines. Membership of the Retentus is a greatly regarded honour, identifying the warriors responsible for the legendary discipline for which the XIII^th Legion has become renown, each a veteran of decades of command and countless conflicts.

Whilst rarely involved in front-line duty, stationed within Ultramar or upon the largest legion warships for extended training during long-running campaigns, the Retentus can be marshalled as an elite combat force when their charges are called upon for combat duty before their tenure has begun, often acting in an intermediate command position to ensure the Legion’s strategic network is utterly unbreakable.

Upon induction into their ranks, the Retentus are granted possession of a pair of Macraggan duelling blades, amongst the finest crafted power weapons the Imperium is capable of producing, utterly deadly in the hands of warriors bloodied by decades of battle in the Imperium’s name.

Word Bearers:

These 'anointed' are my idea for Kor Phaeron's terminator elite

Figured TDA Vakrah Jal might be fun?

Raven Guard:

Rough concept for the Deliverers' aesthetic

Dude! I'm blown away! Thank you for the absolute mother-load of inspiration. I'd seen a few of those before, but I'd somehow missed a few such as the Blood Angel and Ultramarine designs. Thanks again for sharing your awesome work :)

Really looking forward to seeing what you do with the legion terminators but the Suzerain terminator in particular has me interested.

I didn't make it clear, but the 'Suzerain' will be a Terminator armed like one of the Suzerain.

Yeah, me too. Unfortunately the Ultramarine Terminator probably won't be one of the first simply because I need to source some Suzerain bits for him (specifically the shield) before I can make a start.

Dat Praetor, man, just WOW. Brilliant work!

Thanks a lot bro!

Outstanding stuff kizz!

Thanks bro! Glad you like him.

Dude u asked me which Blood Angels bits you should use and i prefer the 40k bits as i mentioned eearlier and i forgott to mention that you could use 40k tactical blood angels bits, but i think that most Blood Angel bits look the same. Your sketch looks awesome and there are some blood angel wings that are not attached to anything so u can just put them on your termi although i know that you mostly will use greenstuff. Anyway i cant wait for your terminators espacially the Night lords.

Thanks for the info, bro! By the way, the sketches are by Iron Hands Fanatic, not me.

Lovely work on your Praetor, as usual

Thanks a lot! Really glad you like the Praetor.

Thanks for looking ;)

[hushrong]

Yeah, Ultramarines have been looking more and more awesome in my eyes these past few years. I really liked the one officer in terminator plate who had the gold/bronze facemask for a helm. That just looked sweet. The Suzerain also look righteous in my opinion. So I am very excited to see what you do for that terminator.

 

Same for the terminator. That paint scheme will be wicked.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Beautiful Praetor, Kizz. I still think is stance is asomewhat weird - he seems out of balance.

 

Your sketches are impressive. Besides your talent for painting, you also have a knack for drawing! Is it me or do you seem to favour Tartaros plate over Cataphractii? :)

[Kizzdougs]

I've been doing a bit of work on this Blood Angel Terminator. Unfortunately when I was doing my research before I started on him I only found out about the silver death masks that the IXth Legion Destroyers wore, I didn't find out that they also still wore the standard Legion red. I thought I was being clever painting a Destroyer in black to create the image of some type of proto-Death Company colour scheme. I was pretty disappointed to hear that I got the colour scheme wrong, but I'll forge on and get him finished anyway :tu:

The Praetor from the graphic novel? Yeah, that guy looked pretty great with the the ruby eye lenses. I'm looking forward to working on the Ultramarine, but he'll probably take a while to get started as I try to source the bits that I need.

Thanks a lot bro! We'll have to disagree on the stance. I like it in general , but the thing I don't like is the cloak. It doesn't have enough movement to it and looks a bit dead. 

The sketches are by Iron Hand Fanatic, not me :tu:

I don't really have too much of a preference either way when it comes to Terminator armour. I love the Tartaros because they look like mini Contemptors, and I like the Cataphractii because it has that real old school/Heresy look.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

Regardless of the accuracy, the black armour looks superb with the red and gold. Really clean work on that axe as well.

[Deathcrow]

That terminator looks very cool, but when i compared it with the artworks, i think that a blood angels symbol or somethig like a wing should be on his chest or one of his shoulderpads. I still think that "less is more" concept works on this model but i feel like a wing would pop this model even more. Also could you do a Night Lords terminator next or are you already working on something else?

[hushrong]

The Blood Angel looks phenomenal! I'm pretty sure you can forge your own background for him and why not? He looks rad as hell already and he doesn't even have a head on yet!

[Dantay VI]

Love the look of the destroyer terminator.

 

I never knew there was such a thing :D

 

Black armour is cool, as the destroyer cadres work with the most toxic of weapons, their armour blackened and damaged by the radiation and chemicals given off. This would obliterate the original legion colours and armorial markings of the bearer, thus further distancing the destroyers from their legion brethren, who already see them as tainted because of their use of proscribed weaponry.

[Fire Golem]

Loving the Blood Angels terminator. Frankly, when it looks that good, accuracy be damned.

[Shovellovin]

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excellent work! How'd you make the red strip chipped like that? Did you paint black marks over red?

[Kizzdougs]

Almost finished with the Blood Angel Destroyer :tu:

Thanks bro! There isn't such a thing... I just thought it made sense and would look cool. 

Destroyers in the IXth Legion are a bit different. They only serve in the Destroyer units for a limited amount of time.

Thanks dude! The chipping is achieved with AK Interactive Heavy Chipping Fluid.

Fantastic work mate, looking forward for more, keep the Heresy rolling!

I'd been following the destroyer on facebook, lovely execution, very characterful model and I have to say, the use of decals is excellent.

[GrandMagnus]

That guy looks grim, love it!

[Supe robot gangster #1]

That blood angel is simply gorgeous! Great work mate! Keep em’ coming!

[Pearson73]

Damn, that head's not what one expects on a Blood Angel, very grim, very chilling, almost an evil look. I think it suits the nature of the Destroyer cadres and those serving within them very well.

[KrautScientist]

That Destroyer is really something! The combination of the rounded shoulder silhouette and that stylised facemask really sell the model. Fantastic work! :)

[sockwithaticket]

NIce. Think your scheme suits the Destroyer mantle a lot better than red + the right markings.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Fantastic work on a very original concept.

 

Given that he's just cut off that bloodletter's head - shouldn't there be some blood on his axe as well? :)

[Vairocanum]

Ok wow. That is the coolest destroyer I've ever seen, love the head and glowing eyes in particular, looking forward to seeing the whole thing completed!

[SkimaskMohawk]

The paint job is phenomenonal and the model looks really cool, but imo it doesn't really scream destroyer. Some rad grenades could have helped, maybe a phosphex bomb instead of the bloodletter head. I think it's just the lack of identifying weapons with how you tried to infuse the blood angels aesthetic into it; without the destroyer symbol is guess a chaplain 99% over destroyer.

[MagicMan]

Really digging that Destroyer! The black is beautiful, and i love the red shoulder markings.

 

Also, thanks Kizz for the help finding your metallic black armour tutorial. 

[hushrong]

That Blood Angel just knocks it out of the park! I know he is part of your March of the Legions but I would l love to see a squad of those bad asses!

[Deathcrow]

hey thats awesome dude!!! you could use the same helmet for an alpha legionare termonator
