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!

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.

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.

Go for it man, post them up!

 

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

You just went to a forgeworld shop, looked at everything, and said: "I'll take it" tongue.png.

I'll post my pics in my own topic next week smile.png.

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 tongue.png.

Keep posting pics!

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!

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.

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!
