Kol Saresk Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yeah, putting the Alpha Legion in the trench would definitely be a change of pace for the trenches.

Vazzy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 “They thought they’d broken us in the Depression, where our Father’s died, and our Brother’s burned.They were wrong. We emerged, cracked, damaged, and unstable. But we ENDURED. WeSURVIVED where others didn’t. And fromthe Ashes, we rise, reborn. We will operate in the shadows, a hidden blade thatgoes for the throat every time. In time, they will fear us. And it will be glorious.” -Shadow Captain Asha Xevin XIX legion, aboard the Iron Shadow, Raven guard Frigate http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5496/9828638306_c2ffac3186_c.jpg Untitled by vazzy2012, on Flickr (Vigilator Ba'gen, Drake Knight Sa'arul, Brother Vo'ras) http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7330/9828597004_3f499814ba_c.jpg Untitled by vazzy2012, on Flickr (Brother Agado, Brother Naasari, Brother Ordun, Brother Kyell) http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3742/9828594884_b38ed7efbe_c.jpg Untitled by vazzy2012, on Flickr (Brother Pythos, Sergeant Abraxes, Brother Xerxes) Thought I'd add these here. The Shadow Captain is going to be based off of Eric Draven. I'm sure we all know who he is.

Vazzy Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Good lord, look at that giant sniper rifle! That thing is awesome, man. Counts as Missle Launcher? I don't know yet. I just thought it looked cool. I'n my head it's a modified Grav rifle, that puts the Gravitic forces into a pin point that pops heads. Count as ML is not a bad idea though.... I'm watching the Crow right now, and Draven's creepiness, yet Vengeful spirit is just how I imagined Xevin. I think it could work. Also, Opinion on the makeshift bionic?

Grim Dog Studios Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Only a small update from me! Built my third Wolf Guard Pack Leader/Legion Veteran Squad sergeant. (Just realized he has a crux on his gun, will have to file that off!) http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y397/JamBurgin/DSCI0012_zps39c3e8c3.jpg Still need to buy his squad from forge world. I was thinking of getting them some MK II armor, but not sure how well it will blend in with my army which is predominantly MK IV that has a few MK V and MK VI pieces mixed in. And here is the start to my Long Fang/Legion Heavy Support Squad. http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y397/JamBurgin/DSCI0014_zps91643806.jpg Thanks for looking, once I have everything built I will start painting them!

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 See I've never understood how Space wolves fit all of their hair into those helmets ;) Looking sharp there brother! I've been using mk2 plate for my support squads, figuring they'd be the last in line for new armour as they're not in the front line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/18/#findComment-3469115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakuth Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 It's the conditioner I use Please report to your nearest Interrogator-Chaplain. They would like a 'quiet word' with you regarding your sense of humour. Alas, while we had some reasonable weather today, it happened to coincide with me working. It is supposed to rain for the rest of the weekend, so I'm unlikely to get anymore painting done at this time. Still tweaking a bit of fluff, will post on Sunday. Hopefully. Also, now I'm on my home PC, I can finally see some of the pics you fine, upstanding transhumans have posted. Looking good, chaps. Vazzy, that Astartes-sized AMR looks mental!

T0MMY Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (Just realized he has a crux on his gun, will have to file that off!) Guys, what's the deal with the crux terminatus. I know about in 40k they're all meant to have a bit of the emperors armour or some such, but did they not exist prior to this; i.e. is there no canon for cruxes in 30k? (ref: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Crux_Terminatus#.UjxApK1waAg) What about the crux argentum? Just want to know if I have to remove any crux from 30k era armour.

Cheers Love the models Brother Wulox The Crux Terminatus was around in the 30k era, but I don't think it was as standardized as it in 40k, with every termie having one on the left shoulder. You don't need to remove them unless you want to.

GhostMalone Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I like it I just think that maybe it needs the ends of the metal sheets in spear tips or something sharp looking it currently seems to flat but it's still looking great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/18/#findComment-3470060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different from scale mail, which frequently had a shape similar to reptile scales with a triangular bottom edge. http://i.imgur.com/1AvGIQQ.jpg?1 Since the Mongols used lamellar and not scale mail (though their Chines neighbors did), I wanted to try to replicate the look of lamellar. It came out looking like quilted armor though.

GhostMalone Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 maybe rivets at the top of the plates? and I think I picked up on whats wrong. with the armour you don't have it covering the whole area like it would over the cloth. the tab at the bottom is fine like in the photo above but the inner leg shows cloth rather than the armour if that makes sense Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/18/#findComment-3470069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 This image is kinda what I used as reference, and it has the larger backing underneath it, which is visible on the inner leg: http://i.imgur.com/qRzObFb.jpg?1 I've been looking around the web trying to find a tutorial for lamellar, and there isn't one. At all. :( I found a sculpting board where someone asked about how to do it and the responses were basically "It's too hard to get it to look right, so everyone just does it as scale mail". /sigh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279372-battle-for-humanity-legion/page/18/#findComment-3470074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
