Candleshoes Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 How have I not seen this log before.... great work on the dreads, beyond gorgeous bases, and love the kneepad conversion. I think your right about Eidolon's face/helm, removing that will go a long way in moving into EC territory and away from Sang guard. Look forward to seeing more.

Bowlzee Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I have ordered some EC helms from Forgeworld. I will add some crests to one and try that.

marine7312000 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Swap the helm and take the wings off the jump pack. If you got rid of those it would go a long way to making it look less like a Sanguinary Guard.

Lord Sondar Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I agree with marine7312000. Ditch the wings and add a suitable Emperors Children helmet and your in business.

Bowlzee Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 Eidolon has lost his head, and wings, although I am painting the wings, and seeing how they look. I'm in the market for the Sternguard head with the beard... I think it would make a great head for him. More on my blog.

Teetengee Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 That base is a great sculpt, did you do it yourself, or can some amount of money buy me that. I think if you wanted to add color you could do a slight hint in the fabric portions of the base.

Bowlzee Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 I here you about the chest. It was the only chest piece in the Sanguinary guard set with a cloak of sorts. I'm painting up a few more to test how different he looks. In other news I have painted up several heads. 1) Sternguard head 2) Sanguinary Guard head: 3) Homemade Helmet: I like my homemade helmet, but sadly it can only fit in one position because of the jumppack! Not very safe with that plume being so close to the air intakes!! marine7312000 has sent me a pack full of Space Marine heads. So I will see what else shows up! Thoughts?

Kizzdougs Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Great work mate! You've got a really nice shade of purple going on there. The Gold looks great too. For the helmets, I'd go with the homemade one. It's unique and really fits the whole aesthetic of the mini. If the crest is a problem, maybe consider turning it side ways... http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/FW/mkIVcom6nl.jpg But if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit. The most important thing is that the mini looks awesome.

Bowlzee Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 I think I've settled on the Helmet. I put a lot of work in it, it would be a shame not to use it. I have painted up some different torsos, as the original one didn't seem fancy enough. 1) Scroll 2) Eagle Wings Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294207-bowlzees-emperors-children/page/2/#findComment-3799400 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlzee Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 So work on my Primus Medicae is progressing nicely. I have a lot more paint on the model now, but didn't take any photo's this morning. I did assemble it pre-Greenstuff and take a photo of the potential end pose. There is a big mix of bits on this model. 1) Head = MKIV Nuncio Vox helmet, with the scanning equipment filed off the back of the helmet and the Apothecary light clipped of the 40K apothecary helmet. 2) Chest = Sanguinary Guard with small tabbard, one I had painted up for Eidolon, added pouch and vials from the 40K Apothecary kit. 3) Jump Pack = Sanguinary Guard jump pack with the Light and scanner clipped of a 40K Apothecary kit 4) Legs = From Sanguinary guard, knees filed down MKIV green stuff knees added. 5) Power Sword = From Sanguinary Guard kit 6) Surgery Arm = 40K Apothecary arm with hand clipped off and the bolt pistol from a Palatine Blade put in it's place. 7) Shoulder Pads = 1 from the 40K Apothecary kit, the second from Sanguinary Guard kit with Brass etching of EC Eagle added.

Kizzdougs Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks good bro! I like that you've put a bolt pistol in the narthecium hand.

Bowlzee Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thanks guys, I do have a question though, this guy will be running around with Eidolon and the Palatine Blades, so he will be protected from Challenges. With this the case, should I go with a Power Axe instead of a Power sword for that additional AP2?

Bowlzee Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Yeah, I'm leaning more to the Axe all the time. There is also a nice Axe in the Sanguinary Guard kit More Progress: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294207-bowlzees-emperors-children/page/2/#findComment-3804203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Looking great! The Sanguinary Guard axe would ben perfect. I'm also planning to use one of the Red Scorpion Honour Guard axes for my Emperor's Children. If you need another axe for another Legionary maybe see if you can find one on eBay. http://bitzbarn.com/oscommerce/catalog/images/IMG_1508.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294207-bowlzees-emperors-children/page/2/#findComment-3804221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
