Knight of the Raven Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 I'll support that idea by promising you to build and send you another objective marker (which I'll leave to you to paint), if and only if you do what Kurama suggested.

Lord Commander Eidolon Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'd love to see some EC Breachers of some sort; I've been toying with the idea myself, but have far too much other things going on to do much more.... Mega elaborate shields, crested helms and probably MKIII armour with copious amounts of press moulding!! Â If I offer to pick you something up at Warhammer World whilst I'm there will that help with the bribery....... Â Totally irrelevant but I'd love to see a take on Sunkillers, but EC 'Vanguard' would also be a treat. Â I look at your stuff and it pushes me to raise the bar on my own EC's, so keep it up!

GhostMalone Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hey kizz... you know MkIV breachers with elongated shields beautiful curved swords with ornate hilts and the EC Upgrade helms would look amazing you could give them ornate shields like so;  http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2016-02-25-20-01-56_zpsljabdfgz.png  you could press mould or sculpt stuff onto them come on you know it's a great idea and works for your basing scheme and ZM you can also get another 10 and ride in a Spartan.... come on do it you know you want to your praetor worked with my help so use my idea you know you want to do it Kizzdougs 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Thanks everyone! :)    Have you ever thought of converting one phoenix guard as a custodes terminator guard? I was thinking of getting one and converting up a grey knight force halberd into the custode signature gunglaive and possible switching the tartaros pads for something more traditional (gw termie shoulders) with eagles? Idk, just an idea I had for some bodyguard, little expensive though  DimDim Hmmm, I've never really thought about how I'd build a Custode in Terminator Armour. However I've always imagined them in Cataphractii like armour, a la the Collected Visions art.  http://a395.idata.over-blog.com/4/08/11/33/Legio-Custodes/Custodes-Aquila-terminator-Squad.jpg  The AoS Sigmarites are also great for Custodes conversions, but at the moment I'm more tempted to wait and see what FW do with the Custodes when they get around to releasing them. I really enjoyed building and painting the couple of Custodes that I made, but I know that once FW releases the genuine article, my Custodes just won't make the grade.  Dude wait for it.....Palatine breachers!But with elegant ornate shields!If you do this I will build and send you a custom objective model!! I'll even use a dead pewter oop vastroyan and do an EC standing over the corpse wiping down his blade to sweeten the deal Hey kizz... you know MkIV breachers with elongated shields beautiful curved swords with ornate hilts and the EC Upgrade helms would look amazing you could give them ornate shields like so;http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y524/Taron_James_Beer/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2016-02-25-20-01-56_zpsljabdfgz.pngyou could press mould or sculpt stuff onto them come on you know it's a great idea and works for your basing scheme and ZM you can also get another 10 and ride in a Spartan.... come on do it you know you want to your praetor worked with my help so use my idea you know you want to do it That's an excellent idea, bro! Now I just need to find some suitable shields. They need to be reasonably effective as defensive tower shields while having a bit more elegance than your regular garden variety boarding shield. Phalanx Warder shields would be perfect, but I'm not sure how I'd go trying to source them. The AoS Stormcast Eternals have some nice shields, but they're definitely not as good as the Phalanx Warder shields.  And thank you very much for the kind offer (bribe), that's very generous of you :)  I just wish that the Emperor's Children had access to an elite breacher unit in the rules. Breachers made out of Palatine Blades are going to be the most elite looking, generic troops choice...  Kurama, that's a stonking idea. Kizz you have to do it. Hahaha, I guess peer pressure counts for something. I'll have to try to source some appropriate shields.  I'll support that idea by promising you to build and send you another objective marker (which I'll leave to you to paint), if and only if you do what Kurama suggested. Thank you very much, bro! You are all far to generous :)  The Breachers idea sounds cool, would also love to see some jump troopers. Yeah, I'd love to make some jump pack equipped troops at some stage. The assault marine aesthetic fits really nicely with the character of the III Legion.   I'll support that idea by promising you to build and send you another objective marker (which I'll leave to you to paint), if and only if you do what Kurama suggested. Bribery opens every door.  Hahaha, so they say ;)  Dang, man. I disappear for a few months, and return to see nothing but masterpieces. The World Eater is particularly stunning, brother. Awesome job.  Thanks for the kind words, brother! I was very, very pleased to see your update in the In Memoriam thread. Beautiful work with building, painting, and writing. Looking forward to some more.  I'd love to see some EC Breachers of some sort; I've been toying with the idea myself, but have far too much other things going on to do much more....

Thank bro! Like I said earlier, some jump pack equipped Emperor's Children are bound to happen sometime, and I'm sure they'll be suitably elite looking. The Sunkillers are a classic EC unit and I'd love to start adding some more flavour to my army by including some specialist units. I just need to find the time...    Thank you all very much for the kind words. I'll try to post some WIP pics of the Lightning Strike Fighter that I'm currently working on, tomorrow :) Augustus b'Raass and DimDim 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) "Lightning Strike Fighter pics tomorrow" Â Such a tease... ;) Â Just do the damn breachers. You know you want to. It'd be so fluffy to do them not only for your Emperor's Children army, but as an Emperor's Children player too. Give in to your whims... Feel the need.... Think of the pleasure it will give you... The feelings of satisfaction if will yield... Dooo iiiitttt.... Â 'loyalist...' Edited February 25, 2016 by Augustus b'Raass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binary Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Breachers are a golden idea mate, it's what I'm next working on (although I'm using the destroyer bodies as they're more armoured.) going to GS some details off the palatine blades for them to suitably bling them up. As for a shield, maybe this'll help. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m200/mark_kilburn/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-01/99034CB3-ADA3-4530-A62C-AFADD44A7BA0_zpsaatx2kod.jpg It's Asterion Molec's. All I've done is trim off the Minotaur head and resculpt the eagle body (it's still WIP so needs cleaning up before I start moulding them..) Otherwise keep up the good work, you're an inspiration to all us followers of the III legion (even those deluded few still following fulgrim Argent aquila and hushrong 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Brother you know what even though they will be the most elite looking troops choice you know they will be amazing, I was thinking you'd want something a bit more delicate and lighter than the standard Breacher shields so I'll look around see what there is. Â Bribery is always worth it and I gotta thank Augustus for backing me up Edited February 25, 2016 by Kurama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 For some reason I would also like to see breachers of the III Legion. Some tower shields with beautifully crafted frame work and a haunting death mask glaring at their foes with hollow eye sockets. Yeah... Â Or a moritat. That would be cool.

Soldier of Dorn Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Destroyers built from Palatine Blades would be awesome too. Just sayin'... ;) Â But the current leaning towards Breachers, I feel, is a good one. Any way you decide, I look forward to it.

GhostMalone Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Don't listen to talk of destroyers it's not elegant enough Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ah, come on Kurama, you don't think that the Palatine Blade models dual-wielding bolt pistols would look awesome? JackDaw has shown us that's it's possible to make beautiful looking Destroyers without overdoing the rad-scarring. And it solves the problem of Breachers looking too elite, too! ;) Although I do like your idea a lot... Â But in all seriousness, I do think Palatines as Breachers would look absolutely killer. By all means, do that, as opposed to my inane ramblings :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 But but Kakophoni destroyers that way kizz can play with more forge world goodies. Â I do agree destroyers would look good but BA have pretty destroyers. Â How about destroyers with rebreathers cables and heavy Chem flamers using the Kakophoni it's a great stark contrast but can still keep the elegance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 A though for the shields could be the ones at the Ultramarine shave, with the swords on them. Remove the sword and fill in the sculpted text and you have a space to add some new detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackoption Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There is a comment in Book V about EC Destroyers being one of three legions that had individualized. The other two were the Ultra's and Raven Guard. I think you could have alot of fun with the Destroyers, showing a darker, yet still majestic side to the legion.

Kizzdougs Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 So, I took part in a 30k campaign day today and was lucky enough to win the 'player's choice' award. I had planned to take a lot more photos, but as usual I got to caught up in the event and forgot to get the camera out for most of the day...  Anyway hear are the pics that I did take. I'll post some more up as they are posted on facebook by the other players that attended. Their were some really nice armies, so it would be great to share them with all of you.  The day was a team event. Here is the 1,500 point army that I took. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4073_zpswdbsylql.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4074_zpsxeqnx9r2.jpg  Deploying for the first game. We went on to win 8-1 against a Night Lord - World Eater combo. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4069_zpsxvu40vox.jpg  Some of my ally's beautifully painted Ultramarines. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4070_zpskxqlrxbg.jpg  My ally's army. The Leviathan was pure brutality. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4075_zpslsfpsjoh.jpg  A nicely painted Auxilla army using GW Scion minis. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4072_zps26niwi5j.jpg   And now for some WIP pics of the Lightning. I haven't really decide how i'm going to paint it, but I do know that it will include a lot of white and gold (not blue and black...). http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4067_zpsimptifke.jpg  http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/DSCN4068_zpstbz4twvw.jpg       "Lightning Strike Fighter pics tomorrow"Such a tease...

I've had a couple of the fraters offer to help me out with some Phalanx Warder shields.

Slips Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I can pretty much state with certainty that its no surprise that your army won an award of some kind. Â How have the new EC Rules Treated you, if you used them? Â Also, that Lightning looks pretty awesome so far with the little you've painted already! By the way, whats that Gold/Bronze? Same color as before? Looks a bit...different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RTB01 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Fab looking force! Â Did you enjoy the weekend? Did anyone have any issue with your partner using a regular drop pod as a dread pod? I'm impressed if not, shows sensibility as dread pods cost a fortune for a model that simply arrives!

GhostMalone Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Buddy good stuff wish I could have made it I'll finish up 1500-2500 points worth of militia for etl then we can compete over best looking army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkimaskMohawk Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Nice pics, but there needs to be a lot more Line of Sight blocking terrain on that table.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Damn well deserved award there mate. Your army looks awesome. Nice Ultras allies too ;) And your command squad is badass, probably my favourite unit out of that force. Looks like it was a great day for gaming, too. Got any more pics?
