The Thracian Crusade : Gather the brethren !

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking I could paint both the outside of the cockpit and the gun turret red, this way the inside wouldn't clash as much, but I really do not like the idea of having to paint that much flat red (as getting a smooth finish will be quite hard).

Working some colours into the stormraven.

It is still in dire need of highlights, but it's starting to look decent. I'm debating re-nuln-oiling the vents and clasps on the wings, they look too shiny i think.

Actually the back turbine hasn't had a wash yet, I use it as a reference.

 

Thanks for the idea of scriptures also, I had planned crosses there but they would be large transfers and/or templated spays, so it's good to have an alternative.

So, one of the lads at my local shop is quite good with finicky conversions and thin highlights (steady hands I guess) and he put this guy together for me :

What do ye think ?

Oh yeah there's definitely some more work before it can be deemed completed. The loincloth is almost plain white so it'll need a bit more contrast imo, and of course a cross on the pad is a requirement.

 

And yes, the sword is purple in the center with black bevels (that are highlighted grey).

I got the model home eventually so here are a few more shots, especially of the sword for Firepower.

I'm really impressed by my mate's work, and I think that besides a bit more shading on the loincloth (it(s just too white atm) and the basing, there's really nothing to change.

Most of the highlights and washes are now complete. I need to figure out what decals/patterns I'll put on the wings though.

Although it doesn't show on the pic, the corax white of the wings can actually be highlighted with ceramite/white scar white.

The sword will be blue, as per my other power weapons. There's a trim on the bottom part of the tabard which i'm thinking of doing red or gold, not sure yet.

Any comments, opinions, advice ?

Blades done and a better photo, what do ye think ?

Should I do the swords differently or does this look adequate - with due consideration with the fact that my usual power swords are blue ?
