Vect Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks guys I really apreciate it :). Don't forget about some cc. I have a question, I am soon going to paint the cataphractii termies, and I am stuggling chosing the color of the tassles or pterugees (forgot the spelling), looking forward to your comments and opinions.

Firepower Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 White. Gold, purple, and white is timeless, and very ostentatiously regal, which is Emperor's Children in a nutshell :) As for critique, the only thing I would consider changing is the basing. I know it's tedious, and boring, and dull, and mind numbingly uninteresting, but dynamic bases really take good models up that extra notch. Aside from that, maybe some weathering on the tank.

Vect Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 I was thinking about the basing for a long time especially the color. The thing is I have an army of 50+ infantry, and like you said it would be quite tedious, plus I lack experience in the department, also I love prevalent symmetry in the army and I find that individualising each and every model extremely boring, I was just explaining to my fiancee that it pisses me of that there are so many possible poses of a miniature and that i miss the old days of stiff unposable miniatures where one would critique the modeler not themselves :P. What exactly did you have in mind ? examples maybe ? I also like the idea of white (even the FW painted fulgrim has white and it fits perfectly), while red like i've seen on brother duncs's EC's is much more faster I find it a bit mellow and undefined, what are your thoughts on a diffrent shade of purple? As far as the weathering I am waiting for some dark sand weathering powder from fw, after which I can purity seal them and ad some mordheim tuffs Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277204-heresy-emperors-children-wip/page/2/#findComment-3403699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Well, let's see. You want small, limited details like that to be striking enough to stand out, without being garish. Green is another cool color, which fits purple on the color wheel, but won't stand out much. Yellow would stand out, but looks garish. Red is too close to purple, so it doesn't "pop" well, another shade of purple even less so than red. Blue is like green, unless it's a very light shade. Black won't do it.So I naturally go with white White over a blue undercoat rather than gray looks especially brilliant. This was my attempt a long time ago- I gave up 'cuz I never could get the hang of purples. Or gold for that matter But anyway, that's what the white with blue base looks like against gold and purple. As for basing, cork basing can be very quick and simple. Search for 'Cork Basing" on youtube and you'll get dozens of tutorials, from the very simple to professional level. The simple sort looks good and still only takes maybe 5 minutes per base. Edit- I forgot to mention, aside from cool white (blue base) and neutral (gray), you can do warm (browns/beige) white. It's colorful too, but I find it blends a bit too well with the gold and with purity seals.

Vect Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 On the contrary, your gold looks great and the purple needs but a little more highlighting so you could become a commander of the emperor's III :P. Thanks for the input on the white that made my decision there ;) As far as cork basing I find it a pain since you need to pinn the models to the base and then from a tactical standpoint the models are taller hence harder to cover :P (but of course this is just an excuse) i went to my local hardware store and found a cork mat but i just found it lacking in texture really, other than that I waiting for the grass to help the overall look :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277204-heresy-emperors-children-wip/page/2/#findComment-3403720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude with a Brush Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Wow! Those are beautiful! And Im glad you went with brown basing, it really fits that purple and gold :P Mk3 marines could have more dynamic poses imo. If you dont mind me asking how do you paint that gold?

Vect Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Here is a picture during the day. Regarding the static poses MKIII armour by nature when you look at the fluff is very stiff, it iis even described as cumbersome. I think in the lexicanum it even says the helmet cannot rotate.
