FF151 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hey Guys, I am building a 6 Paladin squad to accompany my Crimson Fists. I know the 6 Paladins are a TON of points, but I am doing it for the fun of it! All the models I have are the old metal models but I do have access to some new plastic bits.... The reds just don't show up right on the video or the picture, there is much more depth and smooth transition to the bare eye than what the lense captures. Please keep that in mind if you are going to critique the fig. But please do!! Please leave a comment good or bad! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8317/7985894023_dd89427859.jpg Grey Knight Apothecary by ff151, on Flickr I have attached a picture but the real goodyness is in my 1080P HD 360 View of him here....

fivepointedstar Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I like the detail you put into him. and the arm rotation suits him nicely. Is he a display model? cause I don't think you can have a Company banner on an apothecary legal wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF151 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks so much, YOU SCARED ME!!! Lols... I went back to the codex and I cannot see why I can't use a BB on an apothecary instead of a Force sword. These however are Paladins, not terminators if that makes a difference. I also ran it through the 6th ed army builder and it allows me there too. I hope they are right because these are my playable armies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I admit, I believe you can't upgrade the Apothecary in any way at all as he, stat-line wise, ceases being a Paladin once you make him an Apothecary, and you can only give the banner to a Paladin. No codex in hand, but I'm pretty certain that's the case, sadly. :lol: But he looks awesome, make no mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF151 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hmmmmmm, the Paladin entry in the codex says "one model", and Army builder allows it (not to say that verifies anything though)..... Does anyone know has this been FAQ'D? I guess it will be somewhat easy enough to break the crazy glue bond if I have to remove this arm and put it on another :lol: This was also discussed on a previous thread...' http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=226602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thade is right on that. Sadly that happens to Honor Guards turning into Sanguinary noviates in codex BA. suck I know. but your is not a legal loadout, and its a huge target for precision shooting from snipers anyway.

thade Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 As I said, codex is not in hand. I'd be happy to be wrong about it. :lol: Seems to be the case that I am! Sorry for the confusion. It's true, what DK2K says: Command Squads and Honor Guards from the other codecies do have that issue. Looks like Paladin Apothecaries got a free pass (which I missed). It's a very good thing; the shading on your banner is remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF151 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks Guys, The shading was actually done with an airbrush first to get the glowy effect from the broken planet, then everything else was hand painted including the highlighting on the cloth parts of the banner. In real life, the banner actually looks better than the pic or vid. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Unlike other the other codex their entry is a model not, a veteran, or honor guard. Therefore the apothecary can upgrade to be the banner carrier. The downside being he now has no real weapons to use at all. (I guess that's okay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The Apothecary is still marine strength at +1 for Hammerhand, and he's a legit platform to fire off Holocaust (though a nerve-wracking one, perhaps). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 my bad, guess I can't read either... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
