Augustus b'Raass Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Great mdel Flint, including awesome pose and great fluff. The swords are a little bent though. You might want to dip it in tea around 4pm and bend them straight. ;) :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Morning guys. Thanks for all the replies! @gaurdian31 - Haha, glad to hear it! @ Khârn the Bloody - Thanks buddy. Funny story, I've painted the white four different ways since I started this log, same with the blue. It's kinda my practice forum for painting white. The models actually look pretty different if you line them up together ^_^ This go 'round, I used a super pale blue to highlight the white, and a really neat metallic blue/silver color for his backpack and pauldrons. I think he's my favorite of all my white/blue techniques so far. @ Quixus - Oh, far after the fall I imagine, certainly after Nikea. I imagine Angron wasn't the most enthusiastic about enforcing his father's decrees, though the legion and the Nails seemed to help weed out all the psykers anyway. It's probably after the World Eaters fractured and started to flee in every direction after the Istvaans. I have just always imagined the White Scars as what the World Eaters could have been as a shock assault company if they had not been broken by the Nails. The Librarians of the legion always struck me as especially tragic since they either died horrifically from psykic backlash, were butchered by their own legion for inducing migraines, or had to watch their brothers tear themselves apart. Thus my little WE coven ^_^ Oh, and the swords are from the Emperor's Children Palantine blade squad. @ Jaspcat - Wow, pretty steep praise! @ Forte - Thanks buddy! @ Augustus - UGH! I know they're still bent. Those prissy little elf blades refuse to hold shape. Can you believe *that* is where they ended up after 2 hours of fiddling with them? ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologist Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Just read through the whole thread - fantastic stuff. The colour text really helps set off the miniatures, and the painting is really nice; particularly taking into account the difficulty of red and white. The weathering throughout is well done (though on a personal note, I would have preferred a few more scorch marks and smaller, lighter-toned scratches in the boarding shields). Most of all, though, I love the character of them all. There's real imagination in the conversion work and kitbashing - the crested helms for all the breachers is a brilliant idea - and the emphasis on the Librarius is a very original theme. Looking forward to seeing what you do next :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I too just read though the whole thread. Great stuff! I think the scratches would look better if they were finer, but it's a small point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Evening guys. Thanks for all the awesome responses so far. It really keeps my hobby batteries charged, and keeps this from being more than just a little side project for me. Anyone who has spent time checking out any of my threads knows I'm a huge fan of the fluff. With that in mind, some (but certainly not all!) of the greatest World Eaters the BnC has to offer have assembled to assist me in building this fun little community project. Anyone who loves the 12th will definitely have a blast, so come by and check it out! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294527-gods-of-the-arena-world-eaters-call-to-glory/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
