Crusader of Dorn Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 3rd times the charms ;) hopefully.

So what are your impressions then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCC Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Interesting, very interesting...I like that colour though I imagined the Executioners' blue being a touch darker. Care to share the recipe? I like the battle damage and I'm glad to see a skull there too, very Executioner-like touch that. I'd love to see a trench themed base on this guy, some real down and dirty warfare where he can get stuck into the enemy at close quarters and do what his Chapter does best...

khakisuperbunny Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 gritty, battle damaged marines are my personal favorite, I particulary like the weathered yellow, and your silver is top notch too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I really like the battle damage. The drum-mag storm bolter is also very cool. Let's see some more models =) - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDel Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You nailed the blue tint. I really like the model with the skull and backpack. Squad markings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Very nice! Loving the hue of the armour, the battle-damage and the amount of character he has B) He even has bruised eye! Looking forward to the next update ;) Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Nice model, although I agree with SCC, the blue tint could be a shade darker imho. (Where's that backpack from? LotD?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (Where's that backpack from? LotD?) I'd say it's from Azrael, Supreme Grand Master of the Dark Angels model*. Ludovic *Well, the skull bits are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 Thanks for the thumbs up :D The armour is a little darker and has a slightly more purple hue in the flesh, i did tamper with those pics as they were abit smoggy looking. The recipe is simple enough- black prime then boltgun base (i keep out of the recesses with the metallics) 60/40 blue and purple wash (add 50% water) 50/50 boltgun metal and chanmail (Hightlight edges and battle damage) add same wash mixture again, with less water. Chainmail (Hightlight battle damage) Thats pretty much it. The backpack is a standard tac marine one, i replaced the exhausts with matching heads from a Grave Guard box Trench works for bases seems good, though i picture these guys on exotic far flung planets during their penitent crusade. I'm still working out insignia etc, Workin on a heavy flamer and DW veteran now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avragehuman Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Emperors holy toilet wipe, that's a nice model. I'd love to see this a fully done squad like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 lol, wasnt my intention. Was just trying to make him look abit more gothic, the skulls representing some more trophies built into his armour. I did plan a small update but have contracted a nasty bug. (damn nurgle) So as soon as i'm fit i'll get back on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Cheers mate, must have been a 24hr thing, felt good today and got some work done :rolleyes: Axe brother Gortus - cited for his assisted defense of the Salamanders geneseed vault aboard Pyre of Glory during the Red hour incident. Wielding a Dragonborn pattern heavy flamer known to be used exclusivly by the Salamanders, whether it was gifted or a spoil of war none can truly say. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10152.jpghttp://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10153.jpg http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10154.jpghttp://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10156.jpg Squad leader Sgt Grimm and brother Gortus, Grimm was chronicled for his Relentless butchery of Tyrant's Legion forces in the wake of the Red hour incident. http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n562/willmac81/SDC10157.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I love it how you mix in the fluff with your models. It puts them on a different (and far higher) level :rolleyes: Ludovic Edit: I'm glad that you're better, as there will be more progress <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Wow, these guys look like they were run over by a Rhino! Nice battle damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Ritter Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Love these guys! Excellent work on the battle damage, makes them look very executionery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hah, the rhino driver would have papped himself. Its tradition for Executioners to leave the marks of war upon their armour, i expect that means up to the point of not impeding functionality. Next guy is a DW vet who was recalled to the chapter to serve in their penitent crusade, sucks to be him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 "Gortus! You're UP!" The pilot light on the Marine's Flamer popped to life as he lifted his head. "Covering fire brothers!" The squad's Bolters started to spit shells at the bunker, forcing the strong-point defenders to shrink back for a moment. Gortus eased around the corner and then lunged forward with frightening speed. In just four massive strides, half way to the bunker entrance, his weapon erupted in a ten meter long gout of flame. As he continued to advance, the flames lurched forward, tumbling in to the bunker's entrance as he guided it's wrath towards the opening. Within seconds fire started spilling out of the weapon slits of the bunker, it's occupants instantly consumed. I really like the Flamer. The pose makes me think he's going, "1... 2... 3... Go!" before doing something like I just wrote. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtle Discord Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Yeah, I want to convert a few different kneeling legs, and make a mould of them so I can make personal copies. It's one really nice pose that my army is completely lacking. Every once-and-awhile I mention that I plan to write fluff for my army. I don't do it much, yet, but I like to think I'm not bad at it when I do. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
