Chickenleg Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hello all, Ive been working on some traitors of the III legion, testing the colors and the like for a possible new army. Here are the first 3 tacticals: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/darkman1111/ec3.jpg and a WIP chaplain, mk IV-V armor, I am painting him right now so stay tuned for more upgrates on him. Bad cellphone photo! http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/darkman1111/chaplainwip.jpg thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Damn, those are fine brother. Great paintjob, but shouldnt the pauldrons be purple? Oh well. The chaplain looks good, but being a HH army I would remove the skull helmet and give him a regular one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forté Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Nice job Chickenleg. Very clean. @Anaziel. White enameled plates date back to pre-Fulgrim and were used as a way to show rank and great deeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Well they sure look sweet! I think you've done a magnificent job here Chickenleg! Great use of white and gold as compelmentary colors - the white especially is very smooth... C'mon let's push you to start an army of those guys! I challenge you to make a 1,000 pts list and then execute it to the letter! This would be something! Fantastic work - and a very promising start!

Forté Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Seconded...just don't ask me to start an army. I'd be pushing my luck with a combat squad ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Hhahaha! You have to finish your SWs first! :D Seriously Chickenleg, give it a try- it'll be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forté Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Lots of great info in the Forge World Horus Heresy books. Even in the notes by the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Lots of great info in the Forge World Horus Heresy books. Even in the notes by the pictures. I have HH Betrayal, I just dont recall that particular piece of Info. They are indeed amazing books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 It's under a MK II EC marine with a lot of white plates. Just like the Palatine Blades having platinum used on their armour too. I'll let you off though as you'll always notice more about Legions which interest you the most (EC and NL for me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Gorgeous! You know you can't stop there though. Fulgrim demands more of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenleg Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Thank you all for the comments! @Anaziel: Chaplain Charmosian used the skull helmet, the model is based on him. Not necessarily being Charmosian tho. @Cpt Semper: I accept the challenge and i will prepare the list in the near future, i must work on it first. I made big progress on the chaplain today, still WIP. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/darkman1111/ecchaplain.jpg thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Nice and simple - utilitarian, perhaps. I like him. the purple looks a wee bit flat, though (although, that may be the light source messing with the light refraction). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 These guys just ooze awesome! That chaplain looks better than any of the available ones from GW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenleg Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Pre heresy chaplains were established after the edict of Nikea and made sure the psykers were under control, they had nothing to do with their religious 40k counterparts.This is why he has no elaborate armor or scrolls. The purple is indeed not shown properly, its the same color as the tacticals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Nice Chappy even though he reeks of corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyromancer Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Really clean colors, especially the black and white.The minor conversions are very nice and effective as well. Whats next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Awesome stuff, really liking the chaplain too. As others have said, very stripped down and basic but in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I immediately thought of Chaplain Charmosian when I saw your Chappy... http://asset-1.soup.io/asset/5647/9863_1c00.jpeg Which is definitely a good thing. Awesome job, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well, it certainly comes along nicely! I agree with Oli, the Chaplain looks powerful in his simplicity! And Chaplains are not a common sight in EC armies - bravo on your brave choice! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 By Fulgrim, you mean all of us I'm guessing Absolutely.http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w194/darkman1111/ecchaplain.jpgChickenleg, that is amazing. I love the unadorned armor. It imposes a very bleak, unspoken threat of, "I will seriously eff you up." Kudos. I immediately thought of Chaplain Charmosian when I saw your Chappy... http://asset-1.soup.io/asset/5647/9863_1c00.jpeg Which is definitely a good thing. Awesome job, man. Exactly!

Natanael Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Very nice ECs. As everyone said, the chappy is great. Can't wait to see some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
