Arendious Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Why not both shooty and choppy? Sort of like a "poor man's Astartes", give them big swords, big shields, and a brace of grenade-launcher sized pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormborn Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 How about one of each, one with chain cutlass and spiked buckler and the other with a brace of massive calibre revolver like the ones used by members of the order before the big E went to Caliban and they got bolt weapons (empire range might have something suitable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Great work on that Dark Angel, strikes the right balance in gothicness and old-school Astartes.I vote for anachronism, give them Guisarmes or Halberds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 The Custodes diorama look suitably exotic and the I legion consul is nicely done. As for the flamboyant Solar Auxilas, they remind me of the exoskeletons used in that Live Die Repeat flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdT Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi all. So a quick update from me. For a variety of reasons, I've decided that when I finish my current project, I'm going to leave the hobby permanently.In the coming weeks, I’ll be selling off my bits box drawer by drawer. The first tranche of listings have just gone up- do a search for "big bag of warhammer" if you're interested. I genuinely think that it's something of a bonanza. More broadly, I'm keen for my conversions to go to a good home. If anyone is interested in anything on the thread (bearing in mind that the scenic bases probably aren't portable), send me a PM and we can probably work something out.

Half Goat Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Sorry to hear you are leaving, this thread is what has kept me coming back to B&C, just to see your latest kill teams. Good luck with your next venture, it has been a pleasure seeing your work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenbain Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Sorry to hear this. Your thread and the projects they contained were always some of the most consistent, well - executed and inspiring I have come across. I wish you all the best with what ever you decide to do instead.

Fortis Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 All good things must come to end, such is the way of the world. While we all wish you success on whatever the world will bring and you bring to the world, may I request, as a parting gift, a final "gallery" of all your fine work over the ages? That your oeuvres may be viewed and appreciated in one place, as one body of work, for posterity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctem Cultor Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Be sad to see you leave the hobby as all your work has been great, good luck with the Future away from the B+C, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Sorry to see you go, you've made some really inspiring pieces and you'll be missed by a lot of people here. Wish you the best of luck with your future endeavours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 This is terrible news. Your WIP thread has been one of the biggest sources of inspiration this last year, so I'll be sad to see it stop. You certainly have a very good reason for taking this decision (although I cannot help asking myself whether there's some kind of middle-ground here, instead of leaving the hobby wholesale). Anyway, thanks for the truly excellent work! I'd buy the Custodes diorama in a heartbeat. And the Thousand Sons and Iron Warriors ones as well, only I lack both the money and the space.

BeatTheBeat Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Sad to see you leave, but I understand and support the reasoning! Real life comes first.With that said, I'd be interested in buying those gorgeous converted Solar Auxilia/Empire models, plus potentially any Empire/Solar Auxilia bits you've got lying around. PM me if you're willing to part with them!Cheers,BTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdT Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Thanks all. It's a shame but I think it's the right thing to go. Mods, please remove this if ithe link isn't allowed, but here is a summary of the bits box stuff I've put up to sell so far. There will be lots more soon, but people from here will always get top priority if they want something from the thread. @Fortis, that's a great idea- I'll definitely do a "highlights" post before I go, as well as show a few unfinished things I have lying around the place. Finally, I have some concept pictures of the project I've been noodling away at for a little while; I'd be delighted if somebody liked it enough to give the thing a go. @KrautScientist and @BeatTheBeat: Thanks. I'll PM you shortly on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Damn. If I wasn't dead broke (CURSE YOU HOLIDAY SHOPPING!!!) I'd buy that Dark Angel and Imperial Fist off you in a heartbeat, along with any Mk III bits you had. >ahem< Anyways, I've thought awhile about what I had to say in response to your departure from the hobby. Jeez. I mean, it absolutely ruined my day (in a non-serious sort of way ;)) and it seems the only thing left to add is to wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors and express the hope that you will, in time, return to us. You deserve a salute, too (ave atque vale and all that), so... http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/qKPQS7J.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaintedFerrus Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 It pains me to see you go. Sadly I have not been able to start a collection of any kind of army. I am fairly new to the hobby and have been mostly focused on the lore of the universe. Why am I saying all of this? Well, I have been lurking around the forums for a while and I have always came back to your threads Ed. And I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. Your work is amazing and awe-inspiring to a newbie like me and has been the source of many inspirations for myself. I am very sad to see you go from the hobby as I am just joining and have always viewed you as a major inspiration. You have a phenomenal gift, and I regret to see it lost. I wish you the best of luck in the future and I thank you for having such a huge creative impact on myself and inspiring me to become more serious about joining the hobby. ----- P.S. I would personally love to buy some of your models, but I am currently lacking in the financial department. Once again, thank you for sharing all of your inspiring work. I salute you. Best of luck and may your future be as bright as the Astronomican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 While it's really sad that your leaving us, I compleatly understand your reasons, and it sounds like the right choice. Maybe one day you'll be to come back. I've saved pics of som much of your work because I find it so inspiring. I'll be watching the Knighf progress closely.
