Nemisor Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hi Guys, Thanks to selling off armys, being completly over painting blood angels and watching the progress of my buddy Stobz i have decided to join the ranks of the unforgiven. here is my first test model of the Knights of the Lion. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040574.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040575.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040573.jpg let me know what you think so far, just keep in mind its a test so its not up to the standard they will be yet. When i get the army planed out properly there will be lots of templar, GK's and DA bits mixed in. i want a heavy knight/forest world theme to the force. i havnt worked on the fluff much at this stage so when i figure that out i'll let you know. P.S how do you like the holden badge stobz? i think the eye needs to come forward a little.

Interrogator Stobz Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Gah, you'll need a little time in cell 42 before you truly become one of the Unforgiven :tu: Nice test run, , Ilike the scheme and and the Lion looks great, yup the eye needs a little move forward. At least you don't live in my town anymore, or else we'd be killing everone else from the same dex :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249577-ageis-joins-the-unforgiven/#findComment-3023100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Me likes. Except for the golden chest eagle... I'd go with bone, or grey, or silver. Something more neutral, or DA realted (thats why I said bone :tu:) Have you made a more detailed lion sketch? I could get it made into a decal sheet for you to print if you want. The sword of course can be easily done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249577-ageis-joins-the-unforgiven/#findComment-3023102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemisor Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 thanks guys. that was my first attempt at the chapter badge for now. its basicly just the head of this. thanks for the offer, that would be alot easier than freehanding every one. the chest im also not sure on, but i was thinking about doing white robes/tabards so i thought they were too close together for bone and white. any ideas what would go with white robes?

Brother Chaplain Ryld Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Looks good bro. I also think that the chest eagle would look better bone. Then they would tie in with the robes. But really what ever you do will look sweet. Well, except for that horrible chapter badge. I'd get rid of it if I were you. :P Still going to go with the bike list?

Captain Semper Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Welcome to the Rock! Your test figure is looking super! Like your work with eyes, the dark red casing of the bolter and the green/black combo is always a safe bet! I'd take Waywards offer once you are happy with the Chapter badge (which is great btw) so you can easily reproduce consistent results. On the gold chest eagle I'm neutral. Not a big fan of metallics BUT in this case you have a mini with heavy references to DAs, AoV and DoCs. So the chest eagle would be a strong visual distraction and a unique feature for your WIP successor. What about the squad designation? What does the sword stand for? Can't wait to see this force expanding! Good job Stobz, recruiting to the Unforgiven cause!

Brother Immolator Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Wish i could freehand like that too.Nice highlights too,its rarely that i see highlights that dont give a glowing impression.I very much like your work.

Isiah Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Great model Ageis. Looks cool. And I like the gold chest eagle – brings a splash of colour to a traditionally drab colour scheme I think. Besides it could always be toned down with [another] wash if it starts looking too dominant.

Cheers I Agreed, it is a nice point of difference. I was thinking you could also use red icons or swords to make the models look a little pre-heresyish or add gold trim to the shoulder pads(might be a little bright though). So many choices, so few models :D Welcome to the Rock btw. s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249577-ageis-joins-the-unforgiven/#findComment-3023493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemisor Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 thanks guys. the sword i was thinking could be the company marking. sort of like the BA colored blood drops but with weapons. and the numerals on the knee pads for squad markings......you can probibly tell i dont like to follow codex markings :D So i sat down last night and this morning and put some proper effort into this guy, let me know your thoughts on him. http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040579.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040581.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040582.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z110/andrewbartosh/2012/P1040584.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249577-ageis-joins-the-unforgiven/#findComment-3023522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Top work mate, his scheme will blend in with the boys a bit, is that intentional?

Isiah Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 [...] let me know your thoughts on him. Well stunning would be mine. Great freehand on the Chapter symbol. Forget the 'ease' of decals, freehand has greater charm/style plus the slight differences give the whole force more character I think. And you obviously have the skill so... keep at it.

Droma Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Looks great, a very welcome addition to the unforgiven. Did you use grey or metalics for the black highlights?

Nemisor Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 thanks. @stobz- yeah man, they are pretty much the same scheme, i guess the gold is a good idea for a point of difference between the chaplins (of which there will be many) and the troops. @Droma- metalics. its just a mithrial silver dry brush on the very edges of the armor. i have tried greys in the past but it always looked a little too much for my likes.

Something more neutral, or DA realted (thats why I said bone :D) Looks good bro. I also think that the chest eagle would look better bone. Who says you have to limit yourself to one color for the chest eagle? If you were to look close at my newest squad you would see White, Bone and Boltgun. I know another squad has one or two in gold... And that Chappie is very nice. I like the silver highlights... Looks well used.
