Slips Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hey guys, whilst being stuck at work for a 14 hour shift AGAIN so not been able to lay my hands on my mini's for a few days, I've been thinking about the back ground to my guys. Heres what I've got so far ( lemme know if this sorta stuff aint wanted here ill delete it ) Im not gonna call it fluff coz i aint no writer jus a lil look into where the 56th company XII legion came from how im hoping to develop them as this project grinds on Basically I've pictured them being Terran born veterans of the War Hounds ( heavily taking inspiration from the dread in Betrayer i think it was legion master before Angron turned up IIRC) they utterly despise Angron and what he has done to the legion, and the direction the legion is going but are far too stubborn/ loyal to the legion itself to openly rebel. I do see them as having accepted the nails, so the out of combat malaise that effects them will only make their mood darker towards their farther etc. As my force is pre Istvaan I'm still unsure weather to keep them loyalist and wiped out on Istvaan III, or have them stay true to the legion through sheer stubbornness and routine. I defiantly know i don't want them to fall to chaos.... How I'm going to achieve this is another matter entirely lol So yeah think ive waffled on long enough lol lemme know what ya reckon guys..... N if it even makes sense lol cheers HEY! YOU! YEAH YOU! JOIN US IN THE BLOODIED ARENA! FOR ANGRON!! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294527-gods-of-the-arena-world-eaters-glory-everlasting/ By the way, quick update; I actually miscounted the number of Power Armor Marines I have... I'm still unsure till I get my last order (of the year hopefully) in the mail, but I should have ~60+...sooo...yeah... Might get to painting a squad or two of those World Eaters I've got planned sooner or later.

Frostmourne Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Boys what I'm seeing is fantastic. So much innovation and creativity. It's awesome!! Â Has anyone ever painted Iron Hands? How did they turn out? I'm worried mine will look boring as the FW process has a lot of airbrushing wash stages I'm just not going to have time to do. Any ideas?

Daemon2027 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have, and will be again. The bottom one was a test so was very untidy. Â its simply a silver basecoat (i mixed some dark grey in as well), a lighter silver medium drybush. Then washed black a few times. I do a very light (as in hardly any paint) silver drybrush on the edges in between washes. The last wash on Manus was blue which gave him a bit more depth. I then hit the edges with a bit of silver. Â If you do this method, experiment with the washes, different colours will give different effects. I will be using dark and strong tone instead of the gw washes, except for the final blue which is drakenoff. Â Also, to make them more interesting use some bronze on the model, brake up the the black and silver. Oh and maybe a red as a spot colour, like on sgts crests and stuff. Â Also, remember you dont have to paint your models like forgeworld. Big crusade, there are lots of difference in how each legionnaire looks. And the FW artists tend use different techniques, they were using a lot of rub and buff a while back (which I would love to try myself).

Frostmourne Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks mate :) and yeah I was planning on using a Spot Colour, probably Deep Red or something as a Clan colour, my own clan fluff and stuff. Â And I'm thinking I want the armour to look as black as possible with the silver looking as dull as possible. And probably a smidge of bronze on the trimmings or sargents or something. I may try and make a design where they look oily like in FW but we'll see. Â Have you tried vehicles?

Daemon2027 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well the Lord Primarch is a tank ;) Â But, no. Havent got the cash at the moment. Â The thing is to experiment. I got a very good black on a Raven Guard using the above method, but removing the silver and just basing a dark grey, 2 x dark tone washes (nuln oil), 1 x strong tone (agrax earthshade) and one druchii violet, then hitting up the edges with a bit of grey, although silver may be better for Iron Hands. Â If you want a real matt black look at SCCs Shadowforce Dragomir. But that really is more a Raven Guard black. Â Hmmmmm....Raven Guard (the roundabout continues).

chaplain mortis Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 @Demon2027...thanks so much for your kind comments mate...and now I know who to blame for my changing mind all the time haha..how many Iron hands have you got planned this time? And how long do you think you will stick to them??.. did Ferrus ever get finished? I suppose to save time with him you could always leave his head off ....hahaha..  Talking of Iron hands..@Frostmourne.. I have also had a crack at Iron hands...and I just used good old black for the armour and silver for the trim..thats it..I tried to make them more interesting with some weathering...  (thinking of selling this lot to fund just one and only one project lol)   http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140709_170922.jpg  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140712_174040.jpg  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140712_174147.jpg  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y2/chaplainmortis/20140727_210439.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/5/#findComment-3795081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Well I have been painting an EC guy, who I made to use up the kit I brought for some conversion or another, but now I am seriously tempted to do a joint IIIrd and Xth legion force. It will be mainly Iron Hands, with the Emperors Children being a small elite force. I may even try and write some background, detailing the relationship of the two legions. Â Would also give me 2 armies. Â Ferrus is still at the stage above but I will finish him. Â If your thinking of selling those guys send me a pm. I may be ale to convince the wife to let me buy something this month :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295904-casual-30k-hobby-challenge-month-1/page/5/#findComment-3795084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
