Fire Golem Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think he means do stuff for 2 legions each month? Jaspcat, I love the blood dripping off the bottom of that banner, looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Well it wasnt the intention, and i have told others no do that, but i guess it is casual, as long as we see progress ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Warder Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I was referring to changing by month between each legion. With my birthday in a week I should have some more crack showing up and depending on what I get depends on what I build/paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Golem Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 So apparantly not everyone is a happy bunny then :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I realized earlier that I only have 5 tacticals with volkites right now. I have another 10 volkites that can be added to models but I need to build the marines first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Brother 92 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 My hoard of magnets should arrive today or tomorrow (I ordered 125 in 3 sizes...) at which point I'll glue them into the contemptor and finish painting him (all the black is done, need shading/washes and details) and then I'll add a pledge haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well just received that long awaited email, my FW order has been despatched!!!! So will have some "actual" updates for you within the next few days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedmeister Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Right, I have something to show! First up, my White Scars test piece, missing arms (they're in the post): http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/hh/WhiteScars-Test.jpg I'm now hoping to be done with the other 4 with arms soon. After that, it's this bunch for the Alpha Legion (I know you said try to stick with 1 Legion, but i can't help myself)! http://zedmeister.co.uk/resimg/hh/AlphaLegion-Tacticals.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nice, that White Scar looks awesome! I'm considering doing Iron warriors instead of NL with my SoH... Or as well as NL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nice White Scar. You should stick with them. Fire Golem, the IW are cool, have good background, but I think the NL will allow you to build a different style of army to the SoH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 See I think the NL and SoH are actually more similar than the SoH and IW are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Warder Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 @ Zedmeister that is an excellent start to your scars! I will post up my WIP shots later, this is just my Test mini but I like how it has turned out so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Lucian Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 @fire golem In the end, you can do all legions as you want. A armoured Night Lords force? Sure A Siege company of Sons of Horus? Go ahead. A assault force of Iron Warriors? Got you covered! But if you want to follow the preferred tactic of said legion, then yes. Sons of Horus and Night Lords are, on tabletop, much alike.Where as the Iron Warriors (we got candy, join us.) are a very much direct opposite. In the end, I find that it mostly comes down to - fluff, colour scheme and imo the Forge World models. As I can't GS at all, then I'm very dependant on FW delivering. I liked both the NL models, rules and fluff. But I found that I liked the IW way of war better, that the colour scheme fit me more, and that Perturabo is way cooler. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I do like the Night Lords and the Iron Warriors a lot, I keep penduluming between the two haha. I'll probably end up doing both but just need to pick one to do now. The one thing I'm a little worried about is the colour scheme, silver and brass, does it not get boring? But I think the modelling opportunities of a mid siege trench warfare IW force is awesome (see 1000heathens IW, a huge inspiration for me).

Daemon2027 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Make it more interesting by weathering. A bit of an oxide effect on the brass for example. Also remember they can be a very brutal legion who like to mix it up in close combat so a few blood splatters wont go amiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Also, Radiation Burns, Burns in general - really, bullet divots, cracks/chunks missing from being hit in melee, weathering adds a lot of variety to what could otherwise be considered a stale scheme. For radiation burns, you could use a more purple-orange stain to the edges of the burn mark; whereas with fire you'd use a brown-black edge. Feel free to experiment, who knows, maybe they fought against a xenos race who's weapons stained the armor of the Astartes...say...Bright Pink?

Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Okay you guys are doing a good job of selling them to me :) weathering is something I'd like to experiment with and they seem like the perfect legion for it, mis matched and hastily repaired armour, improvised weapons, mud, ash, soot, blood, burns, bullet holes, shattered armour, gashed up boarding shields... I do like their colour scheme I just thought it might be a bit boring to paint but it sounds a lot more interesting after that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Lucian Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Silver and Brass is indeed not the most challenging paint scheme - the secret is breaking up the silver and brass with wear and tear. I always try and add some yellow and black on either a shin-plate or at least on their weapons. For contrast and an easy place to add visible weathering. Also, I find that a easier paint scheme, makes painting some 60 marines a lot more tolerable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah a simple paint scheme would be good, I've never painted before so... Also I forgot about the yellow. I'll probably go with the chevrons, I know some people don't like them but it's somethig else to break up the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So small update - not really a pledge - But, just got my destroyers + Recon + (4th..I just love them so much) Contemptor and other odds and ends from FW; With ~2 weeks till my school session starts and generally having those 2 weeks free of work, I SHOULD ( ie I'm a procrastinator) get everything assembled (see my post about the boat load of mini's I have to assemble) and probably start painting. I am, however, currently working on 3 test mini's for my Imperial Fists scheme, will see how it goes and all that. Also, just got the collectors edition of Extermination (+ 2 red books but they're black in this case and art book) So I've now got a slipcase for all 3 tomes + the handy dandy pure rules books. All the way from Australia :O Thanks Ebay! http://s4.hulkshare.com/song_images/original/f/f/6/ff6569a7c9289d6bfff9d7598dc5b32b.jpg?dd=-62169985172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Fire Golem, here is an Iron Warrior I painted last year, now I am not a great painter but I think it shows that by using a few washes and and adding something like a but of blood you can get interesting models even with a simple scheme.

lokkorex Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Demon2027: that's a beautiful paintjob, man. I aspire for my models to be that good. Bulbafist: just went through this thread in detail, and i gotta say, your iron warriors look absolutely amazing! Jaspcat: if i'm not mistaken these recent world eaters you've made are propably the best renditions of pre-heresy world eaters i've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
