Daemon2027 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I am currently at somewhat of an impasse, a day of a fevered work had left me with my ETL vow, a praetor, and time to build some vets to stand with him. Yet the work does not fit the XII legion as intended, he is more subtle, a knife in the dark, a leader of strike teams. He was built with the XXth Legion in mind but I feel the cold stare of the XIX Legion behind his helm. What to. Hydra or Raven. Villain or Hero. Darkness wrapped in lies or light hidden in the dark.

Memento Of Prospero Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I prefer chicken wrapped in bacon. Raven Guard is always a challenge to paint with their subtle armour ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/11/#findComment-4014333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I feel more comfortable painting the black of the Ravens then the indigo of the Hydra. I have never liked any scheme I have tried for the XXth. They are the Legions I love the best, the ones which sing to soul the loudest. While I respect others, the horror of the VIIIth, the merciless IVth ,the machine Xth, and the bloodthirsty XIIth, none speak to me more then the youngest sons of the Emperor. I think that's why I find it so hard honour them, my love for them makes it hard to please them. I sit in my tireless vigil of the borders of Britannia, seeking an omen of the path to tred. (Why I am talking like this morning is a mystery!!!)

Daemon2027 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I know, there are so many choices with the Alpha Legion. But that does't help because I can not settle on anyone scheme. Nothing I do feels right, which means I quickly drop the models.

He has a nice purple scheme to. Still undecided. When I get home I will work on the Praetor some more.

Daemon2027 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I have his stuff bookmarked already. Don't think he ever gave his purple recipe though. Funnily enough he started with the intent of doing Raven Guard.

Dantay VI Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Ah yes I remember he tried doing really old school purple didnt he? Page 2 is the painting tutorialhe uses necron abys, or a black/ turquoise mix as the base colour.

Dantay VI Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Yep thats for his 40K colour scheme with the fade to green. You were right, he never gave up his indigo colour, so I pm'd him about it. Wonder if he'll respond. I think the indigo will look amazing with the green fade too. If I wasnt so into the Vlka Fenryka, it would be Alpha's and Ravens.. According to the paint conversion chart I found, Kantor Blue is the gw equivalent to Necron Abyss Also looking at the chart you can see what purples he might have used for his indigo too, or at least an approximation. http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/11/#findComment-4014583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokkorex Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I've done nothing but build models for loyalty and treachery for the last months, but i think i'll paint them for the ETL instead. Here's what i'm hoping to contribute: Siege breaker Legion champion Master of signals Centurion Dreadnought talon (1 w/ multi-melta, 1 w/ two dccw, 1 w/ flamestorm cannon) 2 terminator squads (indomitus, 1 w/ combi-meltas and thunder hammers/chainfists, 1 w/ combi-plasmas and power weapons/lightning claws) 2 tactical squads 2 breacher siege squads with meltaguns Land speeder squadron with multi-meltas and graviton guns. Heavy support squad with heavy bolters Heavy support squad with lascannons I'm considering converting some jetbikes too. Sadly haven't got the funds for any tanks now :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/11/#findComment-4014684 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lokkorex Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I shamelessly stole the idea for them from an old thread on warseer, i think. It's basically just a regular bike with wheels replaced with the intake and turbines from a jump pack.

Skalpynock Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Go with the Raven Guard... After all they could just be Alpha's in disguise a la Deliverance Lost. Or the AL's black color scheme, in their "Left Hand of Darkness" identity. A title that, if I remember correctly, was also used when referring to the Raven Guard. So you could play on that. Personally considering a second consul of some sort (or maybe just a vanilla centurion), but am getting pretty low on marine bits. If I do find the bits, he'll probably be either a Death Guard or an Iron Warrior, to tie in with things I really should write.

Dantay VI Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 As Helter Skelter said he didnt really hate any legion, I figured why not an unusual colour. Something tricky like purple? Besides everyone hates the preening ponces of the 3rd...

Hyaenidae Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I find trying to get a consistent red that is well defined to be equally (if not a little more) difficult than purple, and is far less forgiving of mistakes. Plus, the two Legions' cultures, heraldry, and views of the galaxy are so diametrically opposed as to be mirror opposites. It might be true that the EC of the 41st millenium have a small fan-base and are generally disliked, but the Pre-Heresy Legion of the 31st has a massive, rabid fan base that cannot be discounted. *waves at kizzdougs and Captain Semper* Leave the 40k views at the door. The III Legion of old were kings of war, Lord Commander Vespasian was the embodiement of everything noble of the Astartes, and Lucius was.... ok, Lucius was still a jerk, but at least he wasn't totally freaky yet. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305414-etl-iv-propaganda-motivation-and-preperation-thread/page/11/#findComment-4015063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
