Soldier of Dorn Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Let's see- Hasiqq is a traitor Terran XIX Legion Pyromancy Librarian, right? Is this a sign of a new force, or just a one-off? Either way, he looks awesome.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Excellent mini, Flint. And the fluff is interesting! It had me wondering fora while who or what this guys is, and particularly which Legion he belonged to. The XIX marking seemed like a dead give-away, but then I saw what looks like a trickly of blood running from the lower left corner of the XIX, and thought "hmmm maybe that's done in mockery?". A little far-fetched perhaps, but the characters you've built over the past year all have that je ne sais quoi that keeps you wondering. In the end, The Psycho's guess is as good as mine. Keep it up please! I don't know if I speak for others, but I definitely miss your regular updates and presence on the forum. Or perhaps I'm not looking in the right places?

Flint13 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Morning! Thanks for all the lovely comments so far. DimDim - Thanks man! It's really my favorite thing to hear that I've inspired someone. It's so hard to keep the hobby mojo strong, it feels like a real accomplishment ^_^ Kylo Pyscho - Yep, that pretty much nails it. He's just a fun little one off. Librarians are probably my favorite of all the consul types, but unfortunately I don't often get a chance to use them in a game (especially since they've been downgraded to a max ML of 2... lame >_< ) Anywho, I had this pair of legion champion legs sitting around and a few of those Alpha legion helms left over. In a day of boredom I was checking out out tutorial section and I found an awesome one for "Raven black" which is something I've always wanted to be able to do. And so, with a couple hours on my day off, Hasiqq was born :D Recon - Oh, I'm always around here somewhere, but glad to hear! Krieg - Decently simple actually. My Templar are blue/black with gray-blue highlights (Fenrisian gray, I believe). Hasiqq is that same blue-black, just highlighted with actual blue (VAC French Blue and Glacier Blue) and following this tutorial by Skittle http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306929-painting-raven-black/ His highlights are a lot neater and more professional than mine. Painting good looking dark black is all about super precise, super super sharp and tiny highlights, but I think Hasiqq came out pretty well as a first time one off. Augustus - Thanks! I try to make my fluff as dramatic as possible. Hasiqq's XIX is indeed a mockery of the Ravenguard, since he considers himself old 19th. Between Corax's inexplicable mad-on for Terran XIXth and the Council of Nikea forcing him to shelve his pyromantic gifts, Hasiqq was done with that loyalist nonsense. Think of him like a counterpart for Rubio of Malcador's cronies (so cooler and not lame :D ) Oh, I'm decently active on here, I just consistently forget that not everyone can see all my general hijinks and tomfoolery in the mod lounge. I'll do my best to be out and about more ^_^ Atia - Thanks girl! Wasn't the psychic hood a bit of a give away?

lokkorex Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 That librarian is inspired, no doubt about it. I don't think i've seen your praevian and castellax before, is the castellax a kitbash of the fw and gw version?

Flint13 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Evening bros. I need a few opinions on this. I really want some Word Bearers for allies for my Cult Horde. Which shade of red works the best? I'm partial to the middle one myself. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/910/u7FR9y.jpg I've heard that FW's metallic red scheme for the Word Bearers described as "too fiddly" before. I can say that is defs not the case. All three of those guys were stupid easy to do, and I think they all look pretty awesome. Plus I really like the duality of the new B@C minis with the old school clotted blood metal scheme. Anywho, let me know what you think! Replies! @ Barabbas - That's from the Alpha Legion helms. I love all of them, but that one in particular is my favs. @ Lokkorex - That's exactly what it's a kitbash of. I never liked the spindly little legs and arms of the FW Castellax, but I don't like the silly dome helm of the Kastelan. They look a lot more solid with just different limbs. @ LYD - Thanks man! I will admit (as sweet as Dantioch is) I am always drawn more to the idea of traitors from the traditionally loyalist legions. The Ravenguard and White Scars just seem so perfect for defectors.

Firepower Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hmm, I think the third is the best, if you could get in some smooth, subtle highlights.

Atia Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I would go for the middle guy :) The lighter one would fit for Blood Angels or Thousand Sons though! And yeah, Flint also makes metallic Word Bearers? Awesome ^,^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/109/#findComment-4271068 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Prefer the middle one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/109/#findComment-4271074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you want the tweaked "official" colour scheme, definitely the middle one. Although I do wonder what happened to the way the Word Bearers used to look, with a fairly different red and without the black pauldrons ... That said, the metallic recipe seems to work rather nicely. Great job!

Soldier of Dorn Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Middle. Also, can we see some pictures of this cult horde? I don't believe I've ever seen an actual Cults and Militia list ever before.

1ncarnadine Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Definitely the middle! If you wanted to go a little darker you can always put down the black metal as a base and then do a zenithal with the gungrey before the clear reds. Same if you wanted to go a little lighter, gungrey first followed by steel. It's a whole extra step but when you're airbrushing in batches it doesn't feel like too long.

Flint13 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Haha, awesome. Thanks for the feedback, guys and girl! I'll admit I made an itty bitty modification on the original FW scheme. My metallics aren't rub n buff, for obvs, but also instead of Tamiya clear red, I went with Minitaire Ghost in a color called "fresh blood." I really like it compared to the Tamiya. For one, it doesn't get me high if I forget my airbrush mask But also, it isn't nearly as finicky, and is way (way way way) more forgiving with how its applied. So, secondary question. My allied list is going to be a Burning Lore Chaplain, some Gal Vorbak, a tactical squad, a plasma tactical support squad and a Spartan. My tactical squad is going to be in traditional clotted blood red. The plasma squad I want to do in veterans' black. How does this look for a 90 min marine? Also, helm black or silver? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/907/vMVMg2.jpghttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/903/5uI2dn.jpg I'm not 100% there with the scripture yet, so any suggestions are super helpful. He needed something to break up the black though. Replies! @ Firepower - Ah, if only I were a subtle woman For serious though, I'm trying a Zenithal version to see if I can actually work some highlights in there. @ Atia - Thanks girl! You know I'm all about some red and black. @ K-Sci - I'm actually curious about that myself. I do like the "clotted blood" of the (original) pre-heresy scheme a bit more than the "muddy blood" of the 40k variety. And thanks! @ Pyscho - I'm afraid they aren't terribly interesting. Just a mix of 180 or so GW cultists and WHFB beastmen with a couple FW renegade militia for squad leaders and rogue pskyers. @ LYD - A great idea and one I'm currently trying to experiment with. Thanks for the idea! So far it's kinda difficult for me to gauge the correct coverage, but rest assured I'm working diligently!

Flint13 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks guys! Since I've had approximately all the questions over my metallic red recipe, I put together a tutorial that hopefully answers them all in one fell swoop. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317970-flints-tiny-tutes-4-the-blood-of-loyalist-lapdogs/ Enjoy!

Should have checked here earlier... my bad. I'd go for the dark-most - the one to the right... But the middle one is also great - just a bit more... mainstream. Your work is a great inspiration Flint!
