I dunno I have a home brew chapter that incorporates the purple into there heraldry and I think it's a colour that really denotes status as Preatorian and I love the way it contrasts so that's what I picked it for but it can be whatever you want man why what's youre favourite succesor chapter

 

I do agree that purple is a great accent color , I  like that youve tweaked your company to make them your own , I think that's a very important thing to do. Yer yellows are superb tho im jealous about that

That is of course up to the point they became Heretic scum.....

Is there really anything that stops you? after all in the books there are some examples of Fists in partially black schemes as campaign honours or as company heraldry, and Rahn's axes are graffited all over the place. It wouldn't be too hard to imagine a company/campaing/crusade/expeditionary fleet wearing night world (ie: dark blue) camo or using purple as some kind of honour.

 

Not that I'm trying to get you down the road to damnation or anything.

Centurion Delagatus - Tacton Vulks the "First Sword" of the CCXII Company 

 

    Centurion Vulks is a Terran of true aristocratic lineage.  First son of an ancient house who swore oaths of allegiance to the emperor before the unification wars were declared finished. Tacton was part of the tithe his family paid to ensure there continued loyalty and was identified as gene compatable for the Astartes program. He was a full battle brother as his legion left the throne world to conquer the Galaxy. His combat record was impeccable but his elevation to Centurion came during the CCXII companies assault deployment on Antioch IV.  The Imperial navy air support foundered during a critical offensive to eliminate the enemies command structure and Tactons superior officer was struck down. With the stoic determination his Legion has become famous for Tacton took up his felled leaders sword and lead a forlorn hope assault and with the survivors of the command squad slaughtered the entire enemy command structure before they could evacuate there compromised defences.

They are washed to look a little dirty but i do very little weathering ( I know I know it seems to be the in thing) I like the idea of Astartes reverently maintaining there wargear but I like the slight weathering that really sets off bright colours look at grand_master85 white scars if you wanna see what i mean but i have no experience painting moderate weathering so any tips would be great I am also really happy with the purple originaly i didn't use so much but a few helpful souls ( I'm looking at you blade wolf) said to go for it and it steeled my courage to try it and I'm pleased with the result the camera phone fails to show it but the highlights on the purple are so good i am thinking of painting some emperors children if i get betrayal at calth box (don't really need all that prissy MK IV for my fists) but lemme what you think

Thanks allot for the kind words they keep me motivated to struggle on through my lack of talent.  Its funny I take the pictures with my phone and cant really tell how bad all the little imperfections are until I put them on here and see them on my computer screen later. . . then its like AAAHHH look at the mold lines and overpaint on the rivets I missed.  I could spend days doing touchups on the models I put on here so the it is really generous of you folks to be so kind.

 

I have some more models to post here but they are white so that's even worse the yellow but they look ok from 3 feet away so ill risk it

 

May I present to you my two apothicaries

I enjoyed painting these guys allot, so much detail I was really unsure about how much yellow and how much white to use but I feel they look ok an seeing as I prime my yellow models white I can easy paint over it if I want

 

Unfortunately I must speak of heresy as my drive for the VII legion wanes right now in favour of some fantasy projects I have on the go. I would like to finish the Age of Sigmar box set before Christmas so me and my bro can give the new rules a try and I bought that slaughter priest model and wow is it a beauty. 

 

Never fear though I have some 10 more tactical/vets assembled and washed so who know's I might take a crack at them and I might bang out some magnetized storm shields for the cataphractii as well i'll keep you all posed again thanks for the comments I really appreciate them and they help me develop my skills

Sharp apothecaries !  

If I do another one ill probably paint him white , I dunno why I went for black o - o 

Though you  ever find it odd that the medics like never get sniped while wearing the white gear ?  Wouldnt that be like the first guy you went for ? 

Very very nice models.

I wonder, for Takton Vulks, could you envision a small brown was on the brass fittings, the details don't seem to pop out much.

 

Also, I'm clearly not as good a painter as you and I have near 0 experience painting yellow, but could a thin line of dark ochre/rown near the edges of the yellow sections make the yellow parts stand out more ?
