Flint13 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Oh wow, glad for all the feedback folks. I'm really happy I posted a WiP instead of just a finished model. Since I have to agree with the general consensus (lightning claw guy being pretty clunky) here's his next iteration. I think it fits *much* better And also here's "middle guy" again, bc everyone seems to love him... Really funny story... I didn't actually know I had given him Loken's chainsword until someone mentioned it in here. Silly me... I dunno why else it would have had an Eye of Horus and a unification war symbol. Oh well http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/905/fLW6zO.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/536/PGGAlC.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terimus Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 The guy on the right, what set did you get his gladius from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 @ Terimus - From the MKIII power weapon pack, I believe. Well, the hawk eyed among you may have noticed that the primered Child was no where to be seen in that last pic. S'cause I was painting him after giving him a new arm. I found the smallest powerfist I could, b/c I want some hitting power in my bodyguard unit. Can't all be rayguns and prissy elf blades ^_^ http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/661/E2Ymfs.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/903/sIJSXJ.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/673/8N8uLt.jpg And the EC gang so far. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/538/MgpQEg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Is that Loken's chainsword? But that spearman tho...<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Mmm, clobberin' fists. Gotta love 'em. But, the paint on it is a touch confusing. At first I was like "Ohh, glowy fist effect, but why is that numeral on there, too?" Then I realized it's not a glowy fist, but a fist with glowy fingers, and iconography that's confusingly the same color as said glowy fingers. I really like the glowy fingers. I want them to stay. But the iconography on the rest of the fist confuses the effect. Or at least it confused me. :P Can you tell I'm confused? I may have used the word once or twice there... The models look kinda willowy, which is something I didn't notice before. They're almost...dainty. Those pansy elf swords seem a lot more fitting now :lol: Speaking of which, the Fist dude's pistol arm really doesn't join to the torso very well. It's rather low. It really stands out in the first pic more than the others. That's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 @ Depth - Haha, I was clueless to that chainsword's origins as well. Glad to hear you like the spearmen. @ Firepower - Oh wow, his pistol arm is kinda wonky isn't it? I can fix that Hmm... I think I'll redo the powerfist in all purple. 'Cept for the glowey fingers, of course. I'm glad my Children come across as "dainty" so far. I was really trying to put them into poses that work with the more slender torsos, so hopefully they look like they are very svelte, dexterous blademasters.

Biohazard Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Why not redo the detail on the fist in gold? These guys certainly look like agile blade masters. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's always a pleasure to see Emperor's Children before they became drooling imbeciles worshipping the shemale-goddess of heavy metal. (Not that there's anything wrong with shemales and heavy metal, mind you. I just dislike how pathetic in my eyes every cult legion became.) That's the power fist from the 'tactical' chaos space marines, right? It looks good on him. (Or her. You can never be sure with Emperor's Children.) They all look awesome. I still like kissdougs' Emperor's Children better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 @ Biohazard - Good choice! <See below> ^_^ @ Knight of the Raven - I know what you mean. I was just chatting over how I prefered the clean, elegant look of pre-fall Children to all the wacky body mods and whatnot they had going on afterwards. And yes, I can't quite compete with Mr Dougs yet. Micro update! Fixed the powerfist. I like it much better now. Also slowly understanding how to photograph white. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/537/NBibuB.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terimus Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 That power fist looks a lot nicer with the solid white I will say, very pretty colors you got going there Flint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 @ Termius - Thanks! I like him a lot more now too ^_^ @ Augustus - Pretty super simply, believe it or not. I just never use actual white. Same as I do for my World Eaters: 1.) Astronomicon gray basecoat 2.) Broad highlights with Vallejo Glacier Blue 3.) 25/25/50 mix of Drakenhoff Nightshade, Badab black and matte medium + water for washing the shadows. 4.) 50/50 mix of Glacier blue and White Scar for edgy highlights @ Forte - I don't like Post-heresy Children b/c I know I could never paint them as well as you buddy! @ Incinerator - Thanks!

Firepower Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The fist looks much better Clever call on the fully white field. Really makes him stand out as someone important. Or at least it will when he's surrounded by his fellow dainty purple fops. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 @ Koriel - Thanks! I think so too. @ Forte - http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/673/azXC7r.png @ Firepower - Dainty and purple is how we do! Speaking of which: 3 down. 1 to go ^_^ http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/633/0yi7m4.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/901/mapk7E.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/745/FrjnjI.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TearsOfTheRaven Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Is it weird that one if my favourite parts of your ec are the bases? I hope not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 @ TotR - Not at all! I'll admit I kinda like them too ^_^ Last thing for tonight. Ha'dreel and the gang so far. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/537/ZDGexb.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koriel Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Heh, you don't let any parts go to waste, do you? First the axes on your World Eaters and now the hand flamer on an EC : P I find myself in agreement with TotR, the bases are really well done. I saw your tutorial for them, and the addition of the "ash" in the snow give the bases a nice twist and a unique look. Edit: got any plans for the Ashen Circle bodies btw? (or perhaps you just got the weapons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Finally finished reading through. Your painting has improved so much (not that it was bad to begin with). I especially like the background for your Night Lords The EC are coming along really well, now stop making me want to paint them to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 They do indeed look lovely. Your white especially is so crisp - something that is very hard to do. Also, the way you've made the white contrast to your already stunning gold works so well. Can't wait to see more! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Woo, quadruple digits! Thanks to everyone that has come by to chat in my humble little log. It really keeps my hobby batteries charged to capacity, and I can't even begin to describe how much my modeling and painting has improved thanks to all the constructive criticism from you awesome folks. It's hard to believe this thing isn't even a year old yet. But, all that aside, on to new stuff. My last Child of Ha'dreels lifeguard is almost complete. In the meantime, just so no one thinks I've forgotten... The Foundation of Jackal Dawn Upon the young but vigorous Forgeworld, Flintina XIII, production continues on a mighty battle engine. The first of the great machine's limbs has been erected, the claws of it's feet calibrated and it's vital machinated musculature armored against the hopeless attacks of lesser mortals. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/539/iPhyyp.jpg (This thing is gonna be **HUGE** ) @ Koriel - I don't let *anything* go to waste. I've still got a couple metal weapons from some of my first chaos marines circa 2001 or so. Unfortunately, I didn't get all of the Ashen circle. I traded a MK3 weapons pack for their axe rakes and flamers to a girlfriend that got them and wanted to use them as generic assault marines. @ Demon2027 - Thanks for that, although I don't envy you the read back through the depths of this thread ^_^ I am really glad my painting as improved so visibly. I feel like I could actually call myself a "good" painter now (though definitely not great yet) instead of just average-ish. However, I flatly refuse to stop making you want to paint purple marines. Wanting stuff is what the 3rd legion is all about! @ Augustus - Glad to hear it buddy! I feel like I "get" how to paint gold and white now, both of which are considered intermediate-advanced colors to get to not look hella flat.
