Raktra Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Nice looking squad. Anything going in the vexilla cog or just leaving it blank? Khrangar Cheers man. Not quite sure on the cog, my freehand is less than stellar, so I dunno what I'd be brave enough to risk. Lovely! They look great all together so far. Thanks man! And today yielded another fistful of progress... They're only gonna be regular Breachers, but damn if they don't look fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ooooh schmexy. Is that a vanguard veteran axe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Beautiful, the red works perfectly and the bits/poses are very characterful. And that axe on the sgt looks super Iron Hand-y; simple, unadorned and really, really good at cutting big bits off the enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ooooh schmexy. Is that a vanguard veteran axe? That it is! I was kind of irked by it being double headed at first, but it's grown on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoneheart Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Looking awesome so far! (You may recognise my avatar mate ) Inspiring me to consider taking the plunge with the Heresy!

Knight of the Raven Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's so nice to see Iron Hands who look like space marines as opposed to watch components. I find the power fist too smooth personally. Just a big flat surface (albeit curved). But he's already covered in Iron Hands symbols so putting etched brass on it might be overkill, and not the good kind either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'm gonna battle damage it up. I was thinking of making it look like the red's scraped off up to just past the thumb so the bare metal's showing. Then I can call myself artsy and say it's both a stylistic technique and a nod to the chapter's colours in 40k.Representin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Breacher sarge finished off I reckon. OR IS IT? That's for you to decide, dear viewers.Better angle on the fist:Damn these are some grainy photos. Get in the game, Raktra, gawd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I find the smoothness still clashes. Look at all the rivets, rims and other things sticking out of the armor everywhere else if you don't get my meaning. I'd have given more contrasting colors to the lenses on his left eye too. That said, he's well painted.Of course, this is your model, so you being happy about it is all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I kinda like it. The little shock of silver looks really good on the darker red. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential idea - plasticard studs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm always a little uneasy offering critique on models, since I'm not that good myself. My go-to answer to every flat surface is etched brass, but buying one set just for that might be hard to swallow, whether it's the Iron Hands, aquila or number sets. Maybe his clan symbol in plasticard? If that's too complex, studs should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 One more Breacher down. Eldar and uni projects are slowing me right down, so I feel a smidge of shame at how my updates are less frequent now. BUT. Mahreenz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 And one more...Goddamn I'm slow. Maybe when my Gorgons arrive it'll inspire me to hurry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Some progress from the past few days. Some sexy progress.First up, HOLY CRAP I HAVE GORGON TERMINATORS AAAAAGH!Next, I painted another Immortal: And finally, the best Centurion in 30k, Castrmen Orth, has had a bit of zazz added to him: My regular Breachers also arrived, building them now. Just need some brass etch sheets when I get paid to finish off the infantry side of my 1k force and then I can start saving for a Sicaran! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 This is coming along really nicely - like what you're doing with Orth & I think its nice you've stuck with the cannon blue for the lenses - the colder tones of the vast majority of the armour contrast really well with the shade of red you've used Enjoy the Gorgons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 I normally have a violent abhorrence of blue, but when it's an artistic thing I can work past it. Given that this entire venture was inspired by you, I'm really glad you've spoken so positively :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
