[Captain Semper]

You've just given me an idea for the power weapon effect! :tu:

[MordentHex]

I cant take credit for it. The effect i stole from here.

Box o mini's, at the primed stage. Taken a few days ago; I have started assembly.

[MordentHex]

Put up half an assault squad on my WIP just now.  I just finished the eyes on them.  They are ready for the battlefield, 5 more to go and then to deal with the terminators and take a beginning photo of them which i forgot to do earlier..

[Daemon2027]

Almost ready to start painting. Just got to sculpt some detail onto my contemptor, and finish my Praetor:

Great job guys! Really impressive stuff!

[Captain Semper]

This is...

Go on guys - this is really inspiring stuff!!! :tu:

[Daemon2027]

Ok annoying question time. If the wargear of my Praetor changes is that a problem, the represented wargear will cost more then what's I vowed.

 

Also I got the points for the terminators wrong, I added four volkites when there's only 3 models who can hold them. So I put a grenade harness on the sgt to make up for it.

[Captain Semper]

re: Praetor wargear: No problem, slight changes of this nature are fine. What I want to avoid is big amendmends that could by-pass the 5 vow limit... So adding a God of War it's a problem. Fine tuning the wargear of your Preator is not.

re: The Termies: This again is no problem as a mistake must be corrected. Since there is no point adjustment is an non-issue for me!

Just let me know of the point change of your vow afrer the Preator's wargear change and edit your vow accordingly.

[Daemon2027]

Ahh cool. New shiny FW stuff turned my head, but he is still a Praetor.

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

Demon, what have you done to your cataphractii? I can see some modelling work done to them

[Daemon2027]

Made them bigger by adding spacers between the legs and on he torso. Was going to do it for the whole army but I realised it would take me forever and I was losing interest, so I've decided to do it only for the Terminators. They about a head taller, which I think is about right for terminators. They should tower over my eventual Imperial army allies.

[MordentHex]

you extended the legs on your terminators to be taller? brave sir, very brave!

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

Can you do a tutorial on it? Would love to try it out on my characters

[chaplain mortis]

you extended the legs on your terminators to be taller? :o brave sir, very brave!

Well I was going to do it for the entire army but I got so annoyed doing it for the terminators I decided to scale it back. The terminators and some characters being taller shouldn't be a problem though, I always thought terminators were taller due to their armour and legion suggests certain members of the Alpha Legion are taller.

 

  

Can you do a tutorial on it? Would love to try it out on my characters

I will try and find the blog where I got the idea from, if not I will take some pictures of the next model I do it on :)

 

Looking really good Chaplain Mortis.

Semper I've just edited my first Before  post to include some more of the vow I've got started. Is this ok or did you want a seperate post? Or is it just easier all round if I create my own topic in the WIP thread?

 

Cheers

[Captain Semper]

That's fine! You don't need to do anything more. A before picture for every item is all I need. This can be a group picture or an item by item picture - your call!

[GodEmperorOfMankind]

Cheers bud

[Brother Keyaetus]

Just waiting to get black spray before I can start my master of Signal and once he is done I may add in a new vow including drop pods.

[Brother Captain Lucian]

Rapier is done... But, ehm.. I sort of... got caught up with the painting, that I forgot to take VIP's

Here's hoping that wont be a problem later.

Edit: Rapier on the right is the newest addition :) Terrible picture quality, I know.

[Captain Semper]

Looks awesome! You're really good with those DAs Brother Captain..

 

On the picture front let me suggest less direct lighting - i.e. no flash? Try to use peripheral lighting or even natural light...
