Ah-a-nothepsis Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Now that these are sealed and completed, I notice all the mold lines.. Of course! >.< As stated in their WIP, it shouldn't be too hard to quickly convert the combi-plasma guns into TL-bolters if GW gives me Rubric Termies back. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee375/Ah-a-nothepsis/DSC00804.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee375/Ah-a-nothepsis/DSC00805.jpg http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee375/Ah-a-nothepsis/DSC00806.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellios Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I want to say they look great but I also must say that they do not scream rubric to me ;) but we all have our own visions of the 40K universe :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Kovash Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 These look amazing, nicely done. The question is, where is the sorcerer to lead them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyanamiKun Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 wow, I really like those! How did you make the eyes? I HAVE to practice that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hellios- What seems like Rubricae to you? Well the thing is they just look like normal chaos space marine terminators in 1ksons colours to me. Nothing that screams rubric... As I said before... they look nice... real purdy... they just don't scream rubric :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm under the impression Rubric don't scream since there husks anyway ;) OT: Ah-a-nothepsis those are really good looking 1K sons. good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momento Mori Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 These are superb, and the colors pop real nice. I especially like the use of the Tomb Kings blades as well. Now we need to see a suitably spikey sorceror to lead them! When I hear the term 'Rubric', I always expect to see a multicolored checkered pattern... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Trust me, if I get Ruby Termies back there will be a sorcerer. For now, they will have to be "remote-operated", so to speak. IE, the book serves as incantations of spells and once they lose it/fall back due to a leadership test, that is a remote sorcerer recalling them to perform other tasks. I won't spoil Battle of the Fang for anyone, but if you read that book you will gain some insight on how dynamic Rubrics can be during combat and also how their operator can be far away (even off-planet, as illustrated in Atlas Infernal) Thanks for the kind words everyone :] I am always striving to improve my painting but with school and all it's very hard to spend a lot of time on minis, which is why everything in my collection is speed painted.

Glaeken Templaris Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Nice terminators Ah-a-nothepsis. love the glowing eyes and addition of tomb kings gear. you seen the egyptian weargear that scribor have released. sme very nice stuff that would look right at home in the hands of a thousand son.

Dark Scipio Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 One of the best Rubric Terminator I have see, much charm lies in in the fact they are very plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master Benji Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I like the grey eye-glow effect I think it does a good job of conveying the rubric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think the thing I like most about these is the absence of horns and so forth on the helmets. Somehow that makes them seem more Walking Suit of Armour-y and less Standard Chaos Terminator-y. Competing for second place is the cool guns and the glowy eyes, both very fine. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 You guys are super nice, thanks! I realy hate spiky stuff and try to avoid it. I like to convey the idea of a Legion who is reluctant to turn barbaric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glaeken Templaris Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 need to read that battle for the fang at some point myself. Just been thinking as well. imo those models would look even more awesome and convay the "rubic" more if they had some of that smexy golden glow pouring out of seals and cracks in their armour.

As I said before... they look nice... real purdy... they just don't scream rubric ;) Now I'm curious. What does scream Rubric? Well... something that makes them seem special... No spikey bits... a good idea and something I've done with some of my chaos marines including all but one plastic thousand son (Who is a sorcerer). Glowing eyes are I will grant nicely done but not something that marks a unit out as being a rubric ... Many of my normal marines (Loyalist marines) have lens glare. Basically it is a lack of any of the iconic rubric imagery in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
