balordazul Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 So here is my WIP of Helbrecht's HG. I choose to minic the paint scheme of Helbrecht with the gold artificer armour, black cape with red under cape also the black tabard with red inlay. I'm doing the normal HW with red, white and black power packs and the head crest to be red. The champion was giving a thunder hammer with a white helmet crest and white and gold power pack. 5 of 6 of the HG are still being painted The first image from left to right has a power maul, relic blade, chapter banner plus power sword, power axe and power sword. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HGmaul_relicSw.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HGchampF2.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HGchampB.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k30r Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Not bad, i like the idea making them look like Helbrecht, but i would prefer the red lines, and stripes in helmets with black-white as more templarish, still i approve :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3467932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Templar Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I like the idea of the gold armour, makes them stand out amongst the black tide! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3467944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunshineDragon Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 They look great, wish I could do lightning effects, I'll admit to being jealous about that haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3468038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Darklight Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Nice! What kit are you using as the cape in the last picture? Been looking to get some for my Sword Brethren. (They're just not SB without capes! :D ) Gold with Black tabard looks really good, though I've been hesitant to use it on anything more than Marshals and Helbrecht... Extending that to Honour guard isn't a bad idea though! Well done!

Extending that to Honour guard isn't a bad idea though! Well done! The capes are from Anvilindustry and I also use them on my Initiates but all red as a strong contrast and the cream/tan and red on my Sword Brethren. The idea of the red capes came from the Dark Millennium artwork of the Assault Squad Initiate with the red cape, chainsword and power axe and I found anvilindustry at about the same time to give my unites an updated look. As we were shoehorned into new SM codex there are some units I want to use that seem to fit the style of BT but we got very little new lore or artwork. I found the reference assets lacking and it look me about a week to make up my mind on how to paint Honor Guard. I personally think they need to stand out is someway and not just look like another Templar. If I can make more progress I will post another update later today.

The_Chaplain Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I actually really like the gold armor choice for the honor guard- aesthetically they tie in with Helbrecht, and really stand out against the otherwise black tide. Keep up the good work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3468189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasPanzerIstUber Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I have some of those capes too, they fit perfectly. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3468386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urkh Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I actually debated doing the same brass armor on my honor guard as well, but overall decided against it as I felt it took away the special look that Helbrecht got as the High Marshal using that army. I wanted people to be able to find Helbrecht in the battlefield because of his gold armor, but having a blob of gold armored guys sorta would drown him out.Oh well, to each their own, very nice looking models! your lightning is much better than mine.

balordazul Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Getting close to being done with the first 6. I still need to do some work on the guns, capes, and power packs. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HGalmostdone.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3468584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been the same color layout but with the white armor style of my second EC in the picture below. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/BT_HQ_set.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3468592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

balordazul Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 So here is the line up with everything done but the banner and when that one is done I will post it. My paint jobs are not to win a best painted but to have a slightly better than average table top quality army. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HG90plineup.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HGbacklineup.jpg The next image is to see what Helbrecht and the alt white EC would look like in this group. I need to update the traditional EC to look a little sharper and maybe buy a new Helbrecht and try to get a better paint job on him. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/HGwHMnEC.jpg The next two images are to compare what the HG and Crusaders look like next to each other. Also remember that I have been playing long enough that I think I was assembly line painting my Crusaders and was going for good table top quality. http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/Comparefront.jpg http://i1229.photobucket.com/albums/ee473/Baleface/BT%20Army/compareback.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3469190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3m01iti0n Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Looking good! I planned something similar for my HG but the color placement will be a bit different. Youll give your opponents a nice shiny blob to fear! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3469348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giarc Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Holy crap! That Emperor's Champion is beautiful! I dont think i have ever seen an EC all white like that. I may have to tak my extra EC and try that out on him. Great look!

I may have to tak my extra EC and try that out on him. Great look! You clearly haven't looked in the Hall of Champions. My no.2 is white, but not nearly as good as the one here haha, needing to improve my skills, greatly. They all look great btw and they sit well together in that group pic. Kinda inspires me to start my own HG : D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280542-bt-honour-guard-wip/#findComment-3469419 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rykardh Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I decided to customize my SwordBrethren models into a honour guard they just look the part. So power weapons ahoy will run up a pic soon. Will say painting there armour Gold to match Helbrecht is a great idea nice one.
