marine7312000 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The more I look at this army, the more I wish I could afford to commission someone to assemble and paint one. I'd give them this thread and just say I want THAT. ALL.OF.IT. And then I wonder what Hyaenidae's take on BA would look like..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The gold chestpieces are on point, man. Really gives them a heightened sense of veterancy. *Shots Fired* All in fun, of course. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something absolutely brilliant about Menelaus. I think it's a stride into a terrible fate unflinchingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologist Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Just the perfect amount of gold on these. The red's still dominant, but there's fantastic depth to the rich metal. Looking forward to seeing their faces complete. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackDaw Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Afternoon everyone - apologies for the long silence again but the last few months have been a touch awkward IRL so there's not been much time to jump online. Fear not though! Progress continues on Seraph and the end of this tale is very much in sight now. Those of you who have been following the Tale Of Many Basterds on PWD will know that there is a short-term goal of 2k painted by September 12th and a longer goal of a few more things on top of that overall. Well, the good news is that the 2k goal is pretty much assembled and only needs 9 marines and a tank painting. For this project overall, there's only 3 more things to add to that. More substantial updates to come maybe later tonight, if not it'll be in the next few days. I have such things to show you... Marine7312000 - Man that is way too kind, you'll make me get all emotional. Hyaenidae - Thanks mate, I thought it was a good way to make them visually different to regular Breachers. Plus I was feeling lazy and needed a break from red. Draakur - Thanks fella Jimbo13 - His pose came off nicely didnt it? Flint13 - You knows it. Angels always look good. Hopefully the Destroyers will look as good. Barabbas Sogalon - Cheers mate :) Apologist - Thanks man, much appreciated. Ha, the faces are actually painted and have more depth, honest - I blame taking pics on a phone in weird light. The Hydra - Cheers buddy, the Ophanim always seem to have been pretty popular. Fire Golem - Thanks man :) So, hopefully soon I'll be able to show off The Lament. And then Steel Dawn. Depends on when I can jump onto a pc next. Catch you all soon :) Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I almost wish you had done what Sockwithaticket has done with the Sanguinary Masks and shaved off the crests. Still some awesome looking models though. I'm looking forward to seeing these painted up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleshoes Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I'm only a few pages late, but JackDaw, your work on fleshing out Minos is just above and beyond. I would argue that he is one of the best executed and realized minis on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geektom Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This is a great thread. I love the amount of thought you have put into your story, and the models just look great. The latest ones with the masks will be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Those masks would look wicked if they were painted to look like black marble. Just a thought, man. :) As always, awesome stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
