Flint13 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Ok, I lied a bit. I was in hobby mode and couldn't stop painting. Here's where the legs stand (ha!) after 2 1/2 hours. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/674/sTEdXL.jpg Blues and reds are mostly done. Bronzes and silvers have their base coats. Took the banner off so I could do something fun with him. ** Any suggestions for groin flap ornamentation?** @ Knight of the Raven - Thanks! Also that works. Woe be to the poor bastard who stands between a teen girl and her dream ship. Fluffwise I want Jaquelyn to be 16 or 17, so that fits @ Dantay - Yep, just sliced out some plastic from an old box set (I think it was a vampire counts lord) and started layering on the Tamiya clear red. Still have another few coats to go I suppose Funny enough, I've dated a Navy brat. Just not one from Iowa. Mine was from Florida @ Jackdaw - On it Mr. Daw, Sir! /salute:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Michaels sells really fine chain link that look good on legionaries and vehicles if you're interested in hanging some trophies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDaw Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I second hanging trophies from thin jewellers chain. In fact, I second that instead of a banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Mk, I can see that. Are we thinking another chain or two full of helms/skulls like the left pauldron, or something even finer than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDaw Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Two chains, one higher and tighter, displaying Astartes helms and skulls. The other lower, carrying heavier Astartes and Xeno long-bones, or desecrated symbols of the Imperium - shattered and twisted Aquilas, Loyalist Legion Vexillary Icons, that kinda thing.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Or how about a full suit of astartes armor, spread-eagle, linked by chains. Instead of a banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Loyalist Legion Vexillary Icons Ha! I can see it now, a chain full of Vexillary Signifiers like a fancy necklace, because the Jackal Dawn is a classy lady who deserves only the best. ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Dayum that Jackal is looking fine, the jaw trophy is especially striking after a coat of paint. The pilot choice is suitably creepy as well :tu: I say you've given the finger to marines enough with your trophies, you need to show some hate to the loyalists Martians too! Perhaps a torn skitaari banner, or better yet, a dying tech priest hanging from chains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Micro update: Silvers are now complete with black washes in the corners and recesses. Bronzes waiting on final wash. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/540/U3J3Jq.jpg Here's the WiP of the groin banner with accompanying trophy chains that will go alongside it. I was going to try for something a bit larger, but believe it or not, there isn't a ton of space under there http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/910/yCuDqo.jpg @ Jackdaw - Couldn't quite fit that in, even though I *loved* the idea. How does the slimmed down version look? @ Brother Chaplain Kage - Oh, that's good! I'll have to save that for a Warhound! @ SanguiniousReborn - Of course she is. S'obvious right? ^_^ @ Basswave - How does it look with the space I had to hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The legs are lookig good, but the pistons on the lower leg could do with a wash of brown, to simulate the grease. Also maybe around the ball and knee joints too. I dont have the IA masterclass book 2 to hand with the reaver in it, but they use a similar technique on their jet engines in the other one. If its not a 'no-no' I'll send over a copy of the page I am on about. You don't want her to seize up the first time she steps out do you? You did a nice smooth blue on the groin and knee plates. You have made me start saving for my own Knight now. As if I didnt have enough SW goodies I have on my want list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantomzero17 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Throne in flames that's inspiring. Alright when I get home from PAX saving up for one of my own is going to have to bump up on the to-do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Bjoern Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Flint, i´m always here. Most the time with the other Arch Mago in the Mechanicum section. Have you seen the pics of my Thagmata?

Flint13 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 And from the back. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/631/Q301fC.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/661/qZnanS.jpg @ Incinerator - Love that chick! @ Dantay - Mhmm, can't argue. Looking into it now. Also looking forward to your knight ^_^ @ Phantomzero17 - So very glad to hear. Always nice to hear that I can inspire. @ Dark Bjoern - Looking good buddy!

BassWave Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I guess there isn't much space in there. Fair enough, just offering ideas for trophy variety. Marines weren't the only ones fighting in the heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Shinguard and all metallics look amazing Flint! Seriously you're making me want to not miss you finishing it... Of course I have a nitpick- and I know you're going to hate me. But as you're such an awesome converter you're worthy of nitpicking ;) OK here goes: Your chains with all the trophies look great - but glued on. As in: they don't seem to be 'pinned' or attached to the shin guard with anything. They just magically hang in a semi circle. Also the trophies seem to magically float below the chain. I've had the same problem and I've thought loooooooooong long hours on a solution. (seriously it took me the better part of a year to find a solution AND find the courage to apply it) and it's a simple ball of greenstuff pressed between the skulls/trophies and the chain and on the last link where it's attached to the shin. The ball looks like a nail or some such and they look great. Easypeasy. Hope this helps.... and that you'll forgive me for being so in your face.

Daemon2027 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The knight is coming along great. I agree with Augustus b'Raass on adding something to simulate the chains being held in place. On such a large model, its the little detail which sets it apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Another mini-update. Chest plates are finished and I've gotten started on the heraldry shield. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/673/GE7XZ7.jpg @ JackDaw - Oh, certainly a few Blood Angels and Word Bearers b/c red looks good with blue and brass. Other than that, I'm taking suggestions ^_^ @ Incinerator - Haha, thanks... I think. @ BassWave - Mhmm, and I appreciate the input! @ Augustus - Why would I hate you? I *always* appreciate the helpful criticism. It helps me improve faster than anything. Have already got the greenstuff out to try my hand at nails ^_^ @ Demon - Thanks, and will do!

Dantay VI Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That shield is wicked!! The chest plates look absolutely awesome too, you have totally got the metallics down. What is the heraldry to represent, as in what house, what is the background behind it? I love your fluff!! Its midnight and the 5 cups of coffee are wearing off, night night :) Just got my engines done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 The Lancer is looking awesome, I love all the little touches without going OTT. The legs are coming along great and can't wait to see the whole thing painted. Will you be applying a Terror marking of some description to the face plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 @ Dantay - The House dan Elsan heraldry is that of it's patriarch, Luthar dan Elsan, the "Wolf of Worlds." Before being... appropriated... Jackal Dawn was built by the Mechanicum of the micro-forgeworld, Korianna, to commemorate the acceptance of House dan Elsan into the fold of the Imperium. Needless to say, Luthar dan Elsan no longer resides at the controls of the former jewel of House dan Elsan's armory. @ Biohazard - You know, the thought of a Knight sized terror marking never actually crossed my mind until you mentioned it. But I am *DAMN* sure gonna do it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Looking awesome! Keep it up! I do like blue and black ;) NL scheme for the win! Same question about the heraldry, what is the meaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Evening folks. Just wanted to get an opinion on a little team project I'm starting in on. If anyone has stuck with this plog for awhile, a few parts here should look familiar. Not a new character... just a little reboot for something coming up that I'm pretty excited about. What do we think for a start? http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/673/wwB0GU.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
