Scythes of the emperor.... Update 13/11/18


Recommended Posts

Thanks a lot gents, appreciate the comments and praise

 

So a small update

 

so I had big plans last night to airbrush 5 tanks (land raider, 2 rhinos and 2 Razorbacks) but my main airbrush j took apart to clean is basically dead inside and a cheap one I was given doesn't fit my air line. So I went making instead.

 

My 3rd 5 man tac squad

 

"For the ghosts of sotha"

Will be making the next two later on and hopefully getting some primer on them before I get to bed tonight.

One comment

 

Onces Marine returns from the deathwatch he switches his DW pad to the right shoulder...

Actually it's never been stated which side the DW pad goes on once the Astartes returns to his Chapter.

Thanks guys for your responses, concerning the death watch pad I've always read and seen them still on the left side when they return home to their chapter.

 

In other news....the mechanicum have heard the scythes all for armour......

So that's all the airbrushing done and now it's all brush work from now on

I just love the way you progress with this. Each marine is amazingly posed and painted. It's plots like this that inspire m so much to actually sit down and try and focus on an army rather then random conversions. I think that's an excellent base for a librarian, will look forward to seeing him progress.

@Asamodai: thank you bro, hopefully I'll get this model this week and I'll start work on him and then I can get painting the rhino/back I've shown and another one and then move onto the next 5 man tac squad, tech marine, this 2nd Libby and the 3rd tac squads rhino by the end of March or April.

 

@lord commander vulkus dorn: thank you fella. I'm glad my work can or inspiring other hobby folk.

 

 

I get my first game tonight with my scythes against either eldar or chaos.

 

So my 750point list tonight

 

Libby (master 2)

 

Sternguard (5man with heavy bolter and twin linked HB R.back)

 

5 man tac squad (vet, plasma gun)

5 man tac squad (vet, power fist and melta gun)

 

5 man assault squad (melta bomb, flamer and lightening claws)

 

7man Dev squad (3MLs and a no cherub)

Well I've been a busy bear....good that wasn't it lol any way pictures the scythes went to battle but lost. BUT it was a great refresher game

And because of this I will be making another model like this for my scythes lol

I wondered how that big ol' iron halo would look on a power armoured marine.  Now I have to track one down, so thanks for that. I guess.

 

The character for your friend's army is coming along nicely. Though I can't help but wonder what one of the Suzerain or Ultramarine honor guard heads would look like on that model instead.

Your use of bits is amazing you seem to see conversions that I haven't seen done anywhere else greatstuff

  

 

Thank you mate, I do try and make my IC's unique enough so when people come across pictures they know it's my work.

Thanks fella, and that's a good shout on the helm I'll give I a try.

 

 

 

Nice Librarian, what torso is that?

  

 

 

Forge world apothecary I think

  

 

 

I think the librarian body may be from the EC Kakophoni. Either way, an outstanding kit-bash

And Dantay is correct

 

Super cool. Great use of the Kakophoni body, that would never have occurred to me.

Is that supposed to be the librarian that you mentioned as far as matching that picture?  While I really like the one you've posted, I think that the illustration's pose is much more menacing in its dynamic.  Either way, your stuff is brilliant.
