Flint13 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 @ Recon - Thanks buddy! That means a lot @ Firepower - Thanks for the assistance. I'll play around with a couple old models and see what I come up with. I say celeb b/c I blame you and AD-B in equal measure for the 500pt force of Black Templars staring accusingly at me across my computer desk. How does this cleaned up freehand look? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/661/vTxWeX.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat_Vet Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Love the Emperor's Children, especially the power blades. I may be asking for pointers on those later :) I am very much looking forward to seeing that knight come together (at least I think I saw a knight LoL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Flint, I think these Emperor's children models are the best you have done; the white in particular is crisper than you've achieved on previous models. You are skillfully progressing as a painter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 As much as I dislike abhor Fulgrim and his lot, thanks to the HH novels, I have to admit, those Palatine Blades are very pretty models. And that gold... http://i.imgur.com/Rqk0aPQ.gif ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Oh wow. I am consistently blown away by the awesome replies I get. Thanks so much guys! My humble l'il plog is almost up to 1000. @ 200plus - Sure thing buddy! It's hella simple. Actually the exact same technique I use for my ensorcelled weapons on the square base side of the fence. Here go. Hope it helps!: http://s4.zetaboards.com/cotec/topic/10099164/1/#new @ Chaplain - Wow, that's pretty steep praise. Thanks a lot. @ BCK - Well we know who to thank for that gold recipe don't we? You'd better stay on your toes... still contemplating beating you in combat so I can eat your heart and gain your hobby superpowers @ Incinerator - Hah! FB magic. @ Barabbas - Thanks! I feel like I'm slowly figuring out how it works, bit by bit. Glad to hear it's coming out better in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incinerator950 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I ran out of likes for the first time thanks to you flint. Given how burnt out on everything I've been, it's the only tangible, cohesive compliment I can muster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Debonair Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've spent the last few minutes trying to figure out where I've seen that spear blade before. I know I've seen that on another model, but I'm darned if I can remember which kit that's from! I can only echo the comments that your white is getting better!

Flint13 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hey guys! I've had a few folks ask about how I do my snow bases after I posted the Dragonslayer. I made a tutorial for that one too for anyone curious. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294345-flints-tiny-tutes-2-the-re-tutening/ @ Incinerator - HA! Thanks for that. I'm getting pretty close to 500, so I always appreciate it. @ Jasp - Sweet! We both know I'm every bit as wrought red as I am midnight clad. Besides, I've been painting purple lately ^_^ @ TearsoftheRaven - Thanks! It's silly simple. Tute's above if you want it @ Firepower - I start at step nine *drops mic* @ Ace Debonair - Thanks! I find it's much easier to paint white when I don't use any actual white. Everything "white" on the Emperor's Children is actually super pale blue. Even the tippiest toppest edge highlights @ Terimus - Yep! Those Warrior kits are freakin' loaded with awesome conversion opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 @ Daemon2027 - Wow, coming from you, that's pretty serious bidness. Thanks buddy! Unfortunately the rest of the plog isn't quite as pretty ^_^ For tonight, just a little WiP update. Here are what happened to the other 3 palantine blades. Let me know what you folks think I should fix up before they get painted. I'm open to plenty of constructive crit! http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/539/c2GRgT.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/539/HiBf02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 middle one is superb perfect flow of movement in the model. need I say more other than you make the pheonican proud but remember your soul belongs to the red angel sister edit: don't have Eogist playing when you look at flints thread its to happy and JPOPish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terimus Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Very nice! Like Jaspcat, I really like the middle guy! The use of the Loken chainsword is superb! the lightning claw guy I'm not so sure about though, big power fists and lightning claws seem a little too "unelegant" for the Emperor's children, but that's just my personal opinion.

Barabbas Sogalon Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Love that guy in the middle, you need to paint him first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeaky Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I agree with Jaspcat and Terminus it looks a bit "heavy" for a emperor's children. Maybe swap the arms for the standard one? Then put the claws in the middle of the forearm with some green stuff to pad out where it joins(or heat the claws up in boiling water and bend them round it)? Other than that they are really nice the guy leaning back on his right leg is cool and the chainsword powersword combo! Tasty. Oh and how your painting the power weapons of the EC's is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The middle guy is fantastic. I agree with the others, the lightening claw makes the model seem a bit off. If your set on having one, maybe take one from the CSM Raptors and remove the chaosy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriel Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The middle guy just screams "perfection"....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have to agree about the LC. Either the Raptors kit or maybe even one of the Chosen from Dark Vengeance would have a claw that looks a little less cumbersome. The middle guy though! He's outstanding! Great sense of movement!
