Aqui Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The use of red as a spot colour is very effective Just the right shade of purple too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3696699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Not at all, it's just different poses with weapon holds and body details. Other than that, you can't really tell. Thought I'd mix it up a little Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3696883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think red is the best, the eye of Horus goes quite well on it. Iv stuck a couple on my assault marines, and one on the praetor just to jazz things up a little :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3696885 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theredknight Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I haven't posted anything up here for a while, been so busy with work. So now I'm back on it, here's 5 of the 10 palatines iv converted with Phoenix spears, progress pic. And I think they'll turn out lovely. So much bling! http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/ben_fabz/F4B531F0-A60F-4DAE-9654-C23DA7AC7DAC.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3839522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlzee Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Great job. How did you convert the spears? I have an automated search on ebay just waiting for Spears to turn up. I currently have 1, I would like at least two more :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3839627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theredknight Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 I have a vast amount of ec to paint.. So I bought 15 Phoenix guard, and decided I only needed 10, so I converted the spears from those guys, and will use the other 5 as tartoros Termies..might even get another 5 after..see how it goes. I was thinking before about it. you could probably use fantasy spears, and convert the top of the palatine sword onto the end, pipe it up and voila. Phoenix spear.

Theredknight Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks man, was fiddly, and plenty of green stuff tweaking, but think they turned out pretty well!

Theredknight Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 So iv been trying to do what I can, but managed to get some more guys done! Will finish the other 5 palatines and 5 terminators off next. Then will see how I feel..maybe have a crack at the spartan or kharbydis..or fulgrim himself. http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/ben_fabz/F7BAD1EB-1B03-4B69-8C8E-13C392FA2D9B.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/ben_fabz/9DA81594-014A-4DCC-9C19-58840F13A4A7.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/ben_fabz/C121F0A4-5FBE-476D-8D39-3C3AEC9B9BB3.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/ben_fabz/60FC0E2E-7D74-4AC7-8804-D01BF8FA2B27.jpg http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g449/ben_fabz/DC780DF7-F53F-4F56-B323-EFB3C7E1CBD1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3865158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorgothNL Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Looking great! Love Emperor's Children. Great job on the palatines with spears, boy am I jealous of the models you seem to have there :P. Giving spears to palatine and terminator weapons to the Phoenix guard, is a simple but brilliant idea :D, might have to steal it. You have any idea what you are going for army wise? Or are you just painting all the stuff you have and go from there ? What vehicles do you have lying around? Keep it up! Makes me want to post pics of my EC as well :P.

I have as yet unpainted 10 Phoenix guard (with spears) Fulgrim Fellblade Spartan 2 rhinos Lighting strike fighter Kharbydis assault claw 10 kakophoni (I proxy as volkites) Another contemptor maybe il make it a Mortis Another javelin 2 rapier thingies Assorted characters Hopefully vehicles won't be to bad, they are basecoated and inked, so drybrush, highlight and details. Then weathering will help. As for my lists, I'm tweaking here and there, but trying to get a fairly balanced list to work with ec traits that I can. Crusader to help get closer and try to win combats to get a sweep off! I was thinkng of getting a sicaran tank and a land raider to transport some guys. Determined to make them work, and if they do they will hopefully do well! I did them as eidolons command company on istvaan 3, I liked the white on the pads, brings out the purple and gold a bit more Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291208-my-emperors-childrenit-starts/page/2/#findComment-3924641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorgothNL Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You just went to a forgeworld shop, looked at everything, and said: "I'll take it" . I'll post my pics in my own topic next week . EC are a difficult legion to get working (if you want to be using them as they are 'supposed' to be used). The rules doesn't really support their fluff (Phoenix Guard WS4 ? -.-). Unfortunately for us, their models are some of the most awesome ones, so we got dragged into EC regardless . Keep posting pics!

Theredknight Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Yeah, iv said on a couple of threads we got shafted in lots on things, but, I liked the idea of them more than how they play obviously lol I think my first buy was Phoenix guard and palatines. Pg could be sooooooo good, buy hey. That's why I converted normal ones with the bodies! And used spears for palatines. Looking forward/dreading the fellblade!

DimDim Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 LOVE IT! Just the way I would build a EC army. Lots of the guys covered in fabulous lol. The palatines and those converted tartaros termis are excellent! my only gripe is the large amount of mk3 on the first page as most EC hated mk3 for its lack of manuverability, but thats just because my fav part of the game is fluff. Go where your heart takes you and all that. Great stuff abound in here.

Theredknight Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well the mk 3 were amongst my first chunk, so I suppose I can justify them as I'm eidolons company, before istvaan maybe. I think a heresy army should have at least a couple of the old Mks,or it's to close to 40k! They used it for breachers though..hmmm maybe I need a little squad of those.. I like fluff to, unfortunately ec don't play to 'fluffy' as the rules won't allow that, but I do try to where I can. That's why iv today finished up another 10 bp cs guys and apothecaries. Now most of the infantry is out the way, I'm tackling the fellblade tomorrow. Or making a start anyway!
