greendestiny Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I don't think they are too dark. I think they look really good. Well done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/#findComment-3691377 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Thanks guys :-) The guilliman blue glaze really brought the shading out, I went for white shoulder pads as I'm going for eidolons command company. Until there is an eidolon model, I get to convert my own, that'l be fun!

Kizzdougs Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Awesome looking EC Theredknight! You've used the white shoulder pads and helmets to great effect. It really makes them look like an elite formation. Would you mind sharing the recipe for the purple? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/#findComment-3691746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kor'Vesh Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Yeah, the white accent colour works brilliantly. I tend to think of mkIV for the emperors children, but these are great.

Theredknight Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 @ kizz yes of course, I used chaos black undercoat, xereus purple base, wash drucii violet, drybrushed half xereus purple and half genestealer purple, glazed guilliman blue and just a few highlights of genestealer purple. White was celestra grey, then ulthuan grey then white scar I dotted a bit of white here and there as I'd think that they'd have veterans thrown in there as well as some noobs. @ Jaspcat yes there's a few bits dotted in there from the ec pack, I even bought a soh brass etch Friday also as some veterans had the eye of Horus on their armour to denote their service with the warmaster, and possible lodge involvement. I just fancied mk3s, but changing the bolters to Phobos, they are much chunkier. although I agree most others will be mk4 with some of the new kits splashed in there :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/#findComment-3692705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il get transfers of something to mark III on the shoulder as I'm pants at freehand. For my next trick, I'm converting an eidolon, tarvitz and the termy praetor. And probably sticking some mk4 assault marines together :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/#findComment-3696273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theredknight Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thanks guys I'm really enjoying painting these, as I'm Used to painting armies of red (red horde nids, and blood angels) it's nice to paint Something a little special. Plus I really enjoyed spending hours modelling and converting an Eidolon, and a Saul Tarvitz whilst listening to galaxy of flames earlier, I accidentally bought an EC contemptor..so might have to do myself a rylanor as well!! Also stuck to mk4s together (manageable to paint) so will stick the first 5 up, then a nice picture of 20 :-) Best of all, when I get to my Phoenix guard and palatine blades, il be listening to fulgrim!!

GrandMagnus Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I see you have the Legion MKIII legs and the old MKIII legs, is there much diference in thickness between them?
