Guest Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just an update on my new Commander... I am pretty pleased how he is turning out... I still need to tidy the banner but the body is done. Well apart from his head which is why I am posting :) Red or Bone head :) http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k574/jetpaczx/2012-10-25173120.jpg http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k574/jetpaczx/2012-10-25173156.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3219575 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Even though White is oh so Ultra, I think it looks better than the Red. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3219638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I disagree, I think it doesn't really look cohesive except with the white cape, not the bone winged sword chest piece. It also doesn't look like it sits quite right. The red looks better, IMO, and you can pick out the winged sword on the helm in bone or yellow. Edit: Unless you just really want something different from Cassiel, because he has the same red helm.

Ordo Machinum Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It's a bit too much close together white for my eyeballs - cloak, helmet, & banner!!! Maybe a tanned bone like the chest aquila, or even yellow? The white would look better with less white around it. Between the two choices, I would stick with the red helm.

EPK Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I also like the red helm. But wonder how the white one might look in red in that case. Or red with a some metallics picked out (perhaps even the lower face guard) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3219723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemid Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 YELLOW HELM! :) I like the helm not being red, but agree that there's too much white around to use the white one. Try yellow? edit: suppose there might be a bit much yellow too, bone? green would clash too much I think.

egon1six Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 The bone is where it is at!!! By far the best look for this model. IMHO. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3219844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I went with red :) And with that my 3rd Vow is complete for October. I need to get some Purity Seal to dull down the gloss... I am pretty proud of this model....

Zoatibix Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Personally I think Black would stand out from the rest of the army while keeping with the fairly 'dark' tones you have used. The red looks better of the two you have shown. The pale colours form too much of an unbroken mass what with the cloak, banner and helmet. Looking good though. I've added this blog to my browser favourites! :) EDIT: Dammit, hadn't scrolled down all the way. That helmet looks the business.

lhg033 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 very very nice! prefer the red helmet, both for the style of helmet and colour well done on the vow been debating doing red DA successors on and off for years and in the end chickened out and painted flesh tearers instead. i may just look at doing them again :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3219886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I went with red :) And with that my 3rd Vow is complete for October. Congrats! It looks great. I still must say, I do like the bone helm (yellow probably would have caused the same problem as white). Black would've looked good too. I'd love to try a red successor, but I think you took the last good scheme without them looking like Blood Angels. Can't wait to see what you add to the army next.

Brother Kovash Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Your Librarian looks incredible! Is that an old metal model, or did you kitbash it yourself?

Captain_Quirk Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Personally I absolutely LOVE the Red helm. It makes the blue eye lenses look piercing, like they're cutting straight through you.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That Librarian is an old one, dates far back as 2nd Ed. WH40K if my memory serves me well.

Yup he is a old classic one of my favourite Librarian models. shame you can't buy them any more well apart from ebay.

Guest Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Some WIP of a Landspeeder I am painting, I can't finish it till I get a few bits I ordered. But the basics are done, Need to hi-light the metal and so some decals but apart from that the body is done... P.S. I HATE the old Landspeeder sprues. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k574/jetpaczx/2012-10-30142720.jpg http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k574/jetpaczx/2012-10-30142703.jpg Just noticed the colours look slightly faded not sure why but it looks ok in real life.

Captain Semper Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Looks brilliant Arkley, the detail in the cockpit is really neat - I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you chose the DAs for your scheme instead of some BA variety!

FinylCut Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Arkley: I highly approve of the 3rd company master. He turned out great and red was the right call on the helmet. I feel your pain on the old Land Speeder, but it's good to see you used something (green stuff?) to fill the side gaps. I've had good success with green stuff and 500 grit sand paper on mine. Well done. FC Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3227087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Stuck again... I am debating redoning Chapter Symbols white. I'll still keep some yellow, but I have tried painting over the transfer but I dunno if I am happy with it. So I ask my fellow Unforgiven again. http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k574/jetpaczx/2012-11-03204808.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262634-the-blades-are-drawn/page/2/#findComment-3228715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
