Crusader of Dorn Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Well i've just got hold of some scibor miniatures which have inspired my latest DIY chapter the Warlords, a pictish/celtic themed chapter. So far i'm quite impressed, the sculpts look great and i've done some assembly dry runs to try and get a feel of what i want to achieve. I'll need to GS a few areas and strip some paint, plus add a few other bitz aswell.

I have also been working of an IA for them - IA Warlords enquiries, C&C welcome cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninmodern Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I like the style and can't wait to see them painted. I think the standard bearer's legs look weird, though. Too short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagan Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Paint, paint, paint, paint, paint, paint, paint, paint! Nice looking conversions. Good work on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 VERY nice, I've always thought we needed more Celtic/Pictish chapters, only problem is most of them end up looking just like Space Wolves but you've cleverly avoided this pitfall with you unusual selection of bitz, well done. Tell me good sir, have you settled on a colour scheme yet? I'm thinking a pale leaf green with deep blue celtic knot patterns as decorations here and there (perhaps an indicator of veterancy?) with... Sky blues eye lenses?

Crusader of Dorn Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks for the interest, the standard bearer has a slighlty stooped pose but is the same as the others. It does look alittle weird in those pics, seeing him from different angles fixes that. I have no colour scheme as yet, a light blue or light green are the front runners though, with some gold or brass detailing. Was thinking of trying some NNM with these guys but i've never really got into it. There is no chapter emblem, but indvidual companies will display a secondary colour in relation to their lords heraldry. The use of animal iconography will be used also. I want each marine to look like a character. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Celtic knotwork design I'd go for rich blue like that of the real Celts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm going with a pale green, and brass/bronze for the detailing. Made a start on the Lord, i'm looking to have the pelts represent bear skins and have changed up some of the bitz. I'll try post some pics soon.

Crusader of Dorn Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Updated the the above pics, i'm starting to put some details in there. I've given the green a very light blue wash,not sure if it has changed much. I going to give it a second wash after some tighter highlighting. Cheers.

Diarmuid had a spear that cause wounds that were cursed not to heal, and Cu Chulainn's Gae Bolg supposedly always struck the target's heart.

subtlebrush Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I love Scibor minis! These look great. Can't wait to see more! +++Mr.M+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 In truth i see myself as more of a pict :) The scibor minis are great for a truescale force like this, the sculpts add alot of base character. The results of the green are quite average atm, i'm thinking of swaping it for pale blue... thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
