Midnightmare Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Awesome work as usual, especially on the poses. They look plenty blinged to represent Sternies (imho the best and most versatile unit marines have on offer at the minute) Great stuff mate!

YoungWolf7 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm really digging the Wraithwing name for the 2nd. I think I'll use the Mortiswing for the 1st. (Obvious Latin translation of Death.)

NightHunters Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Love the sternguard!! Â Great to see some star phantoms to counter the heresy of your (epic) world eaters!! Â Interestingly the more I see them, the more incentivised I am in maybe running a small SP force myself............

( a few of my more senior Marines will do this) http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/C9C499EE-8B7D-4DB7-8944-9EB027822EE4-5194-0000058EDDA4C05D.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/69801025-A924-4CC8-BF5E-1F2E554AD5CA-5194-0000058EE5121983.jpg  Pointy carries the scrolls of all the names of the marines who have joined "Imperator Mortifex" to be judged in honoured death. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/56FF45FE-7A1B-480B-9D22-179D9919E989-5194-0000058EEB68C791.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/9749D474-41D9-436B-BFC2-D6C8DA1AA0F6-5194-0000058EF15F6731.jpg  Still need to work out some fluff for this squad.

Lachdannan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Liking this so far. I always enjoy it when people invest time into their models and give some interesting background information. Heathens does an amazing job at this. Looking forward to your squad being fleshed out. So far so good!

War Angel Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Really awesome stuff and ideas, where did you get the parts for these kits? I'm trying to remember what kit has the pointing marine, I think it's the devistators.

Biohazard Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thanks buddy, the backpacks are from the RW command squad as well, I wanted a few recurring elements on these guys hence the (mostly) mk6 armour and the same backpacks. Â As for work continuing I will try but between work, a couple of commissioned drawings and moving flat I don't think ill get a lot done this month to be honest.

Adeptus-Alaska Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 wish I was there to help move, I'm not smart, but I can lift heavy things! good luck with the month, sounds like a hassle, hopefully you'll share the drawings!

Biohazard Posted March 30, 2013 Author Share Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks buddy, can't share the drawings yet as the client doesn't want them shown. And thanks for the offer of help. Ill keep that in mind for next time although the transatlantic commute might be a pain ;) Â Looking through a few blogs tonight got me in the mood to start chopping plastic although when I went to start I realised most of my bits and knives are still in one of the dozen boxes I've still to unpack. Not to be put off I cracked on with what I had to hand and knocked together a very rough Chaplain on Bike. Obviously all the RW insignia will be removed. I'm thinking of having this guy lead my Wraithwing. I may switch the helmet out for the Chaos one that's on my other Chaplain at the start of this thread. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/E85A0AAC-605B-4FE7-976C-678E4F2CA202-1212-00000118F72A0A6B.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/76F76B3D-C7C6-46E4-A79F-70B6299E0627-1212-00000118FDBB8821.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/73E316DB-143D-4EE0-AD6C-A90329BF8B1B-1212-0000011906457E00.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/76F76B3D-C7C6-46E4-A79F-70B6299E0627-1212-00000118FDBB8821-1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/page/6/#findComment-3339246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The Chaplain looks great Bio! I love the skulls/scrolls and censers on the back of the bike, they really add character. I prefer the helmet he currently has. looking forward to the next update :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/page/6/#findComment-3339305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Really digging your WIP chaplain on the bike, but could I entreat you for some pics of different angles? Â I'd really like to see a bird's eye view and a more detail oriented shot of the tabernacle on the back? Â I agree with Kizzdougs, the head on the WIP works a lot better on the body than the chaos mk V helm. Â You have a real unique piece with the Seraphicus head that makes the bike chaplain stand apart. Are you planning on adding any ornamentation on the upper robed torso? Â I'd imagine grimaldus style litany strips would really make it "pop". Â My only real concern is that the skulls on the censers are face inward, so the detail may be kind of lost there, and also they are perilously placed being on the rear like that. Â Are you planning some kind of candleabra/torch holder to put them in? Â What is the crozius arcanum head going to be? Â As always, looking forward to seeing more.

Biohazard Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks for the replies folks. The Chaplain: I've no idea what the crozius head will be yet, ill need to have a proper look in my bitz once I fully unpack. As for the censers I initially had them mounted where I'd removed the RW Wings but once I put the backpack on the skulls were completely obscured. I like the idea of a candelabra type holder though to maybe raise them up a little. Also he will have some detail added to his torso. :tu: Â Also thanks for the opinions on the head I think you're right and ill stick with the Seraphicus head. I have plans for a jump pack chaplain as well so I can maybe use the mk5 there....

NightHunters Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Love him! And agreed, I would leave that head on. Regards the crozius head, and I admit this ma be a little out there, but would the hour glass that comes with the WFB empire wizard work? maybe with some blades/wings attached?

Biohazard Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Nighthunters I love that idea! I think I could make that work. I'm on a run of night duties at the moment but once I'm finished ill hopefully get back to working on him. I will definitely try something along those lines though. :) Cheers buddy. Â Disease.

Biohazard Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks guys, no more work on the Chaplain but I have been working on this guy. Â I wasn't gonna post it yet but I thought this is probably the best place to get some decent feedback. I want to show that the Dread is laying down a withering hale of fire to cover his brothers advance. Obviously this is still very WIP but feel free to let me know what you think. Â And again I'm obviously well aware of the similarity to one of my Chaos Dreads. I just really want to push the skull imagery of the Phantoms and this is easily the best bit for that. :) Â I give you Venerable Brother Valerius the Elder.......take 2. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/327A25C4-8DA9-4971-B702-F18752539A86-8345-00000A211C957915.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/58DA01F2-DCFD-4F08-A7DD-281566726681-8345-00000A211583A2E4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252444-star-phantoms-valerius-the-elder/page/6/#findComment-3351944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
