[lionofjudah]

WOW!!! so, Im assuming you used a decal for the checks!?? Which ones??

[Kriegsmacht]

Looking great

[Atia]

Thanks everyone

 

Yeah, the transfers are the black and white ones that come with the 8mm Questoris kit. Guess you could easily use them with Space Marines too - great for Imperial Fists or Templars!

 

No real progress for now, experimented a bit with basing techniques - what do you think about this for Adeptus Titanicus?

 

 

My add a light drybrush too. Not sure yet. Also still trying to figure out what colours to use for Legio Mortis ...

Stay tuned :)

Knight Banner 'Tiabeanie'

Legio Gryphonicus Support Element

Questor Titanicus House Coldshroud

Muster at Beta-Garmon 

 

 

 

Coldshroud is one of three major allied War Houses for the Legio Gryphonicus. Beeing a Vassal House of the Legion itself aswell, the scions of the Gryphone Octad make use of both the War Griffon and icons of the Mechanicum. It should be noted that the sacred red was mostly used by Mars itself and those who stand close to it - a practice that would change after the Adeptus Mechanicus was created, when red was both seen as a gift and chain to newly founded Questor Mechanicus Houses. In case of House Coldshroud, it served as "bonded" or Questor Titanicus House - and so its colours are derived from the Legio Gryphonicus itself. Although House Coldshroud would suffer heavy looses during the Heresy, both on Paramar and Beta-Garmon, it would survive - and its proud yellow Scions still stand alongside the War Griffons and Gryphone IV to this day.

 

Note: Questoris Knight Gallant Occasus, steed of Baroness Tiabeanie; aswell as Questoris Knight Errant Susurrator and Questoris Knight Paladin Somniator with their Scions Martial Luci and Elfo.

You. Disappoint? That is inconceivable :)

[Pearson73]

The mini-Knights look great, really well detailed.

 

The Mortis plate is off to a solid start too.

[Achinadav]

The clean detail on such tiny knights is awesome. And they really are adorable.

[Atia]

Festival was fun - used witchcraft to paint the flames of the campfire!

 

 

 

Back to work - currently trying to figure out the red for Legio Mortis - help appreciated!!!

 

[hushrong]

At this current stage with the painting I like the top one and the second from the bottom one best. Looking at the picture of the warhound I like how it is a deep, dark red where its in the shadow but much more brighter and vibrant in the light. Checking out the samples again I really like the second from the bottom as that captures it closest.

[Marshal Rohr]

Atia, second from the bottom looks like it would do the trick. Hit it with Carroburg crimson with a small touch of glass varnish, maybe? Then line with agrax or reikland. 

[Guest Triszin]

Might have to grab one of these kits for kitbashing with my tau. awesome looking.

 

and thanks for the size comparison shot on the imperial knights.

 

I grabbed a box and gonna convert my primaris aggresssors with, centurion legs, aggressor torsos and arms/backpack, with the imperial knight upper hull

[Jackalwolf]

Second from the bottom for my money. If you want to build mega contrast use rhinox hide as the base and airbrush highlight with mephiston red and a point of light mixing a bit of fiery orange.

 

Or if you managed to keep some, black primer > gal vorbak red > word bearers red is the smoothest combo I've ever found for vibrant red with depth.
