Cvife Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Next is something I hinted at in a previous post: I have a loyalist warhound for this army! I felt that this army had got to such a size that it needed something big, and this was the answer, it was great fun to paint, but it's in no way finished yet, It's also not going to be the last one either, I eventually plan on having another warhound and a reaver in the same colours. In case you're wondering, it's in the colours of the Legio Crucius or the 'Warmongers' for short, and if you know about their background you will know that while they weren't on the traitors side, but to me that doesn't really matter, if I'm going to spend over £300 on a miniature, I'll paint it however I want! Anyway, here's the pics: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/The%20Warmongers/IMG_0976.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/The%20Warmongers/IMG_0979.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/The%20Warmongers/IMG_0978.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/The%20Warmongers/IMG_0980.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237517-heresy-era-death-guard/page/4/#findComment-3119587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvife Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 and finally, the allies thing i Talked about earlier, I decided I wanted to do something a bit different, so I decided to Start some Emperor's children. The intention is to use them as a very small force with Blood Angels rules, and to make them as different to the death guard as possible, so in contrast to the very regimented look I went for with the death guard, I tried to make the emperor's children look very individualistic as I could, here's the unpainted photos of the first half of the first tactical squad: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20era%20Emperors%20Children/IMG_0967.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20era%20Emperors%20Children/IMG_0968.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20era%20Emperors%20Children/IMG_0970.jpg and to give an idea of how they'll look when they're finished, here's a photo of Captain Lucius... http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20era%20Emperors%20Children/IMG_0964.jpg That's all for now.

Cvife Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Well, what an interesting few weeks it's been with forge world! I for one am very excited about the stuff that They'll be releasing soon. Of course the new army list has completely re-balanced what is good and what isn't in a heresy era army list, so I need to buy more stuff. I want at least one Full Legion Tactical Squad in mk2 armour (I'm reliably informed that there are no plans to release death guard mk3 shoulder pads in the immediate future). as well as a fellblade and a spartan and god knows how many cataphractii terminators... I'd best get saving! I have more stuff to show off later today, including two new predators, 3 scratch built hyperios defense platforms and a whole army shot. Until then.

Cvife Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Right, on with the promised update, it would have been earlier but I bought all the avengers films today and henceforth got a little distracted! Anyway, I have to confess that I've been a little rubbish at posting recently, There have been things I've had for ages but haven't posted about or even mentioned such as the warhound which I had almost finished before I thought to post pictures of it! Another of those things is the Rapier Laser Destroyer battery which I've had for ages! These are great models and are really good fun the assemble and paint, and they are pretty mean in game as well, especially when behind a defense line! Here's the photo: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_1302.jpg Next, since 6th ed hit I've found, like many, that flyers are completely broken and that it's important to have some anti aircraft, so I raided my bitz box and found a load of valkyrie multiple rocket pods which I've used to make a unit of Hyperios Air defense launchers. They were very much done on the cheep but I think that the rounded look of the launchers lends itself well to the pre heresy aesthetic: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_1305.jpg I also bought 2 more Daimos Predators, one normal and one Executioner. The part I'm most proud of however is that the turret weapons are magnitized to allow multiple options, the next two photos illustrate that: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_1294.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/Predators.jpg That's all for now... I cant wait to get a bit more money so that I can buy more stuff for this army, I thought it was almost done, How wrong I was!

spu00sed Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Very nice models. Can't believe I just found this thread. Love the pointing one contemptor pose. It is similar to the pose I choose for mine. Can you explain what you used for your EC captains shoulder eagle wing. I am working on one and can't find anything for the claw at the bottom.

Cvife Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 That Warhound is epic! Love the colour scheme. Thanks, I am very pleased with how it came out, I am however considering giving it a red carapace to make it match the updated colours for Legio Mortis. On a different note, My land Raider Proteus won a painting award today! I got a Realm of battle tile as a prize so I can make a cool display board. I'm thinking of going for a Drop Site Massacre theme with a couple of smashed drop pods and a bunch of dead Salamanders, Iron Hands and Raven Guard lying around with the death guard surveying the carnage. Also, here's a picture of the whole army: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/Heresy%20Era%20Death%20Guard/IMG_1281.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237517-heresy-era-death-guard/page/4/#findComment-3190960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cvife Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's been a while but I finally have an update on this army. The Chaos Space Marine release has been a bit of a distraction for the last few weeks, but I am finally getting back to my favorite army. I recently spent over £250 on more forgeworld stuff, in the hopes that I'd be able to adapt this army for the army list in betrayal. While this plan was completely successful, I found a new problem. I played one game at 2000 pts and quickly descovered how broken it is for normal games as I crushed my opponent in a way that wasn't even funny (pride of the legion is a disgusting rule!). So, until my regular opponents start getting their heresy era collection off the ground, I will be forced to stick to the Space Marine Codex (or Chaos Space Marines if my opponant doesn't mind me completely disregarding the Champions of Chaos rule). So onto the models, First up is a Spartan Assault tank, and for this one, I actually have progress shots!

Cvife Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hi all. Time for another update. Firstly, I've ordered the new Death Guard specific contemptor, That means that I'll have 5! This one is going to have the claw arm with a plasma blaster and a twin linked lascannon, But I plan to magnitize it so that it can have whatever I need it to have. I have almost finished the first 5 Catphractii terminators, all they need is the Symbol of the death guard painted onto their shoulders, but I won't do that until they do well in a game! Heres some WIP photos of them as well as the finished models: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1429.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1430.jpg The finished models: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1451.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1452.jpg Next up is a bit of a deviation but since my extensive (google) research showed nothing, I think it should be interesting for some people. A trip to my friendly local games shop that isn't GW for paint the other day got a little out of have when I realized that they had the new Wall of Martyrs set in, so I bit the bullet and bought one. This is a fantastic kit which is full of flavor and character, not only that but it is absolutely enormous, easily dominating a 2' x 4' board, which means that in my opinion £100 is very good value! I decided to experiment with it and paint it exclusively with my airbrush and not use a 'normal' paintbrush at all. Personally I feel that it came out really well, either way, it is my belief that terrain is a little like a picture frame, it should look nice but it shouldn't distract from the armies. anyway, enough philosophy, here's the photos: http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1437.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1438.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1445.jpg http://i1050.photobucket.com/albums/s402/Cvifepainting/IMG_1448.jpg That's all for now!
