Norbus Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 This is my EC, using a modified version of Felkor's "black metal" armor. What do think, sirs, hmmm?(bonus points for naming that reference.) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246401-my-emperors-champion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'd say you're off to a great start. This "Felkors" dark metal, is it a technique or a paint? I will say that I'm not sold on the silver shoulder pad, though...unless you were planning on putting a cross on it. A black cross could work.

Norbus Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Felkor is actually a member here, he has a thread titled "french crusade" back around the third page or so. I used GW chainmail paint over black primer, followed by three coats of black ink to get the effect. And yes, a black cross will be going over the silver shoulderpad. I got the idea from white standing in for silver in heraldry.

Roesor Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Where's the Black Sword? o.o And he needs basing, no more pictures until he's based! o.O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/246401-my-emperors-champion/#findComment-2982536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 excellent work on the model, but black armor with a silver pad on the left arm looks too much like death watch IMHO.

Norbus Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Where's the Black Sword? o.o And he needs basing, no more pictures until he's based! o.O I was thinking the sword might need some more inkwashing. I'll post up some pics after I do that. excellent work on the model, but black armor with a silver pad on the left arm looks too much like death watch IMHO. Thanks, Myxx. I admit, it's a bit of a concept model. The concept being that the armor is so important that it has been blackened by other means, and would not be defiled with something as tawdry as paint. Or it could be that I am still crap at painting white, and this is a total cop-out. One or the other.
