Gradarius Crusade - 4/2/18 Gravis Captain and Reivers

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Crusader/Redeemer looks promising.

Those are some sharp lines, well done! I'm starting work on mine as well during the month of August. IT'S LRC OPEN SEASON!!!!

[Honda]

Agree, that is some very nice line work on the highlights. I am curious to see what you do with the assault ramp. :)

[Kisada]

Still working on the LRC.

 

Started spitballing some ideas for my Black Templar primaris Castellan.

Sword is about the same scale to the primaris as the black sword is to the Emperor's Champion.

The classic EC's sword is larger I think.

I like the mock up. Not a fan of the backpack ornament though. I would prefer a banner but up to you. I hope you plan to give him a tabard cause it looks like he needs one. Not to mention chains on the sword hands. The helmet looks nice. But I still like the old EC helmet. I feel like the primaris armour needs some decorating. Maybe give the castellan a cape!! If you are confident sculpt some flames on the sword so it has the relic : The burning blade. Maybe give him a pistol in a gun holtser and some grenades. Yeah, hope my feedback is helpful.

Thanks for all that ... I do like the old EC helmet ... just limited on bits ... I do have the imperial fist command group for 30k and the guy has a nice helmet but I'm not sure if I want to split him from his head lol.

I'll mock up a banner to see how I like it ... I have a bunch sitting around.

The armor is definitely going to get more decorating ... going to use templar shoulder pads (haven't decided which yet).  I've also got more seals and stuff.

Coincidentally, I've looked into getting the proper scale chains for primaris as well as for the redemptor ... yeah I got 2 of them.

I picked up a bunch of green stuff with the express purpose of learning to make some tabards.  Wish me luck.

I don't know about him having a cape though ... maybe reserve that for the marshal.

I dunno about the flames ... I'll have to look into that.  

Gun holster will go on somewhere ... I like being WYSIWYG.

 

Thanks for taking the time to comment and advise ... really appreciate it ... hopefully I can do him justice

In my opinion, this can be your first marshal! Then when you get better with green stuff, you can make your own High marshal! haha. good luck!

Who knows ... maybe ... for now this is part of a 100 power primaris army I'm putting together for the 3 day narrative event at LVO 2018 (anyone else going?)

 

The fluff for this army is the Indomitus Crusade.  With that in mind it will be a mixed force of Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, and Black Templars.  The rules will be Imperial Fists but they will be painted as a mixed force.

 

Current list I have in mind (paint scheme in parenthesis)

 

Vanguard Detachment

Captain in Gravis (IF)

Lieutenant with bolter (CF)

Redemptor with Plasma (IF)

Redemptor with HOG (BT)

Reivers 10 w/ ccw/bp (BT)

 

Battalion Detachment

Primaris Captain with bolter (IF) ... if I end up using the birthday one with power fist (CF)

Primaris Castellan w/ Powersword (BT)

Intercessors 3 squads of 5 (IF)

Hellblasters 2 squads of 5 (CF)

Repulsor (I'm thinking mostly black with yellow parts)

 

100 power.  7 CP.

Storm of Fire Warlord trait

Relic(s): not sure ... maybe Primarch's wrath on an LT or Captain?  Maybe the Burning Blade as Blender suggested?  Spartean to try to put pressure on enemy characters?

[Kisada]

Just realized I never updated this thread with my current work

 

Here is my kit bash counts as High Marshal Helbrecht.  I still need to finish some things like the banner and some edge highlights.

 

I've also basically finished my LRC but don't have good pictures of it ... I'll have to take some soon.

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The combi-melta is well done.

[Kisada]

Updating my log with my completed High Marshal and LRC

Also a WIP of a thunderhammer Sword Brother.  magnetized backpack so I can use him in assault/vanguard also

 

 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job on the High Marshal, the Land Raider Crusader, and the thunder hammer wielder.

[Marshal Wolfhart]

The swordbrother's face is amazing! Not like your Marshal and Land Raider weren't utterly fine pieces of art, but that dude scares the crap out of me! :D

[Marshal Mattias]

This just reminds me that you don't update us often enough with your beautiful work... get back to it!

That face is disturbingly realistic :lol:

[Honda]

Wow, everything is quite outstanding. Your Marshal turned out especially tasty.

 

Q: Where did the sword and gauntlets come from in your Primaris mock up a few posts up? I really like the look of it.

 

ONWARDS!

[AndrewChristlieb]

Those bits are from a Stormcast model. Looks kinda like the Lord Veritant's sword.

[Honda]

After a bit of ebaying, it looks like it comes from the AOS Prosecutors.

[Kisada]

I'm sorry. I don't know where the sword comes from specifically. It's from AoS stormcasts. It was given to me by a local player when he heard me talking about plans for a primaris EC.

[Kisada]

Sneak peak at what I've been working on

 

[Cognative]

Good God-Empereror, your green stuff work is immaculate!

I wish my green stuff work was that good ... this is a press mold :)

[Marshal Wolfhart]

I might have asked this before, but what do you use for molds? It is wonderful!

Excellent acquisition, I think this is an exceptionally cool Ironclad, especially the hammer. Good choice of colours, too!
