Biohazard Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I signed up for the Badab War Challenge so thought Id put up a little project log to go alongside. Heres all I have so far a lot of it is just rough mock ups.

Razerz Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I would recommend against Facebook as I (and many others) completely block anything that comes from their domains on principle.

Brother Kirk Alexander Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have to say, your whites do look very nice and smooth. I like the idea of using the Defiler head on the dreadnoughts. Where did you get the skulls you used on the chaplain's shinguard?

Biohazard Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks mate. The skulls were on a quiver of arrows I found in my bits box. If I had to guess I would say may the Orcs and Goblins range from WHFB? Im really not sure, I actually left them off the chaplain when I undercoated him so Ill maybe use the on the Vet Sergeant when I get round to building him properly. :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/#findComment-3062621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Now for an actual comment so I didn't just troll you about the bandwidth. The Veteran Sergeant and Dreadnought still look a lot like Chaos Marines to me. Maybe a different torso on the Sergeant would make him look more like a Loyalist (fool). The dreadnought would be fine with either the claw or the mask, but both kind of overshadow the rest and make him look very much like a Chaos Marine. Unless the Star Phantoms are renegade or totally extreme, but a casual glance at their Lexicanum entry didn't reveal that.

nurglespuss Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I really like them they don't look chaosy to me, just rather creepy :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/#findComment-3062654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Creepy is what Im going for, Im reading Warriors of Utramar just now and Im loving the description of the Mortifactors Basilica Mortis, basically its decked out like a crypt. Im thinking at the moment that the Space Ghosts,.......sorry Star Phantoms are of a similar vein. Not quite headhunters like the Silver Skulls but they do appreciate the aesthetic quality of a fine Cranium ;) Like i say I think they share some similarities to the Mortifactors in that their original homeworld Haakoneth was classed as a Mausoleum world which was later destroyed by the Hrud. Ill keep with that theme until there is more fluff ref them to contradict....or I change my mind. Whichever comes first lol The Dread is still very early WIP as is The Vet Sgt. Both will be worked a little more to bring them back inline with the Imperial (weak) way of thinking. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/#findComment-3062678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulewaug Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I like 'em. I think they look pretty cool and am looking forward to seeing them painted. - Quick question, sorry if I am missing an easy answer, where do the Dreadnoughts' "hands" come from? I am really liking those! Cheers~! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/#findComment-3062871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Lookin' good my friend! If I may give a piece of advice on working with white armour. If you feel up to the challenge: 1. Prime them white. 2. Wash with Secret Weapon Miniaures Soft Body Black. 3. Cleanup with progressive light touches of White again. Its simple and it looks awesome.

Wash with Secret Weapon Miniaures Soft Body Black. 3. Cleanup with progressive light touches of White again. Its simple and it looks awesome. Pretty much how I do my White, except I use Badab Black or Army Painter Dark Tone (which I have only just got and am yet to test, but I have high hopes) Here's an example - 1. Prime White. 2. Wash with your choice of Black wash. 3. Ceramite White layer leaving the panel lines the wash colour. 4. Repeat if necessary (usually isn't ;)). 5. Optional highlight of Skull White/White Scar. Can knock out a 10 man squad in a couple of hours at most usually :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/#findComment-3064102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty broke this month but I still managed to impulse buy a Tac squad and Drop pod and a Dev squad. As well as online order an Assault Squad. Doh! The Star Phantoms seem to have some heavy reinforcements inbound. The Drop Pod I'll probably butcher for my WE though. :ermm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/#findComment-3117977 Share on other sites More sharing options...
