twofour878 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hey everyone just thought I'd post up a couple pics of my recently completed EC. It a big kit bash and took me a long time to figure out exactly what I wanted. I know the backpack doesn't look quite done but I haven't actually decided what to do with it. Now I just have to learn to paint better. Here's the pics Here's a list of the parts used to make it: Head - BA Sanguinary Guard Torso - BA Sanguinary Guard Pistol Arm - Random Chaos Marine Arm (couldn't fins anything else in my bit box for that pose) Sword Arm - Random Marine Arm Sword - Empire Greatsword Legs - FW Iron Armour Running Legs Backpack - Maxmini Gothic Backpack Shoulders - Maxmini Large Shoulder Pads Thanks for any opinions.

Kisada Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I'm digging it but here are some of my thoughts ... I think the backpack looks like it is sitting too high on his back. I'd prefer it just a tad lower so he doesnt feel so top heavy to me. Secondly, I think the sword could look meaner with a longer hilt. Maybe because I first was exposed to the EC when you had the option of wielding it 1 or 2 handed. Lastly I think he needs some Templar iconography and maybe a purity seal or ten. Just my opinions of course. Overall I like the uniqueness. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248422-my-ec/#findComment-3008364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trignama Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 He is a bit lacking in Templar icongraphy... possibly a transfer on the robe, maybe a free hand on the chest plate. Other than that a few purity seals and is say good to go sir! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248422-my-ec/#findComment-3008419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofour878 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Wow I never noticed the lack of purity seals.....I feel ashamed. I'll fix that asap. I may change the sword with a sanguinary guard one I have since it's bigger and meaner looking, not sure about it though. Also I agree I need to find a place for some BT icons I'm just puzzled as to where to put it. I'll think about the loincloth idea. I may add a cape attached to the rings on the pistol side shoulder guard but I need to work on my green stuff skills before attempting it on this guy. I plan on decorating that more.

Brother Chaplain Ryld Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sweet pose, really liking the kit bash. As for the painting, I think you should work on the gold a bit more. Try undercoating the area with a mild brown first, then gold and finish with a wash or two of delvan mud. It will help cover the undercoat of black a lot better and the wash will add plenty of depth.

twofour878 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thanks for the suggestion. I've never really used gold very often before. I've tried a gryphonne sepia wash and it was okay IMO, but nothing great, I also tried the thraka green wash for tarnishing and found it worked well but I think a weathering powder would give me the look I want more (just need to get some...). I'll try the devlan mud wash to see the difference. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248422-my-ec/#findComment-3011485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
