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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 I hope it's ok to throw this in here but I have also been re bit by the hydra.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I've decided that alongside my WE and my New project I shall also be doing character series project ie, angron fulgrim ferrus etc etc. So now I need to buy another angron and I think it will be good to keep busy with 3 desperate projects ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 If you want to do a dead Ferrus with Fulgrim holding the head, I might be interested in offering my services... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 HA! brilliant, but alas no all I can really say is that I want to do all the character series and make them to the highest standard i can possibly produce. and for everyone as of Monday I shall be creating a new thread XXth Legion Devils Brigade.

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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
