MikhalLeNoir Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Maybe you could bigger pics? Atm I can only see a bloodangel type character. Pic is too small for my bad eyes. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Yeah, I know, but I simply wanted to show something... apart from that there are many parts in the backround :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 So, I made some other shots... the problem is getting the pictures smaller than 2mb.Without further speech, Phearus, the Spear of Dawn Although the dusty would be more fitting :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphariusOmegon108 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 wow nice work!!! now give him a fitting base ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I have zero expirience with how to create a base, I know there are tutorials avaiable on this board, but then again I have no clue whatsoever of what I want as a base...

AlphariusOmegon108 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Maybe use cork? Cork and woodglue and fine sand? Then basecoat black, drybrush greys, wash with agrax and stiple Mournfang brown here and there, easy and quick;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yeah Alexos aeh I mean Alpharius is right. If you don't use a base, it cheapens your work. When you do a base, then you have to consider which color scheme your army has. I know they are dark grey with gold. So i would go for a light colored base. Snow or sand. So that the models stand out. If you use a dark one. Your figures disappear. Not so good. Cause your heroes are golden how about a light stone color. Woth snow or ice. That gives enough contrast to for the special chars in gold/ brass and for the dark grey ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 I think I have cork flying around somewhere. What I have most definetly is styrofoam, I can imagine Phearus standing atop a rock or sliding down a slope.But I'm not sure how te remove him from his base, 'cause I'm afraid he might actually break...

marine7312000 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'd suggest taking a pair of clippers to the edge of the base that is slanted and then carefully carving out around his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Fluff time Oh, and does anyone happens to have a picture of a marine armed with a Volkite charger? Exemplary Battles – The Battle for Greacum PreludeWhen the 7th expedition fleet first arrived at Greacum, the planet quickly swore allegiance to the young Imperium of Mankind. The planet was a teeming Agriworld the size of ancient Terra and was quickly slated for further colonization. None however could fathom, that the small, but easily purged population would return to plague the planet years later. When the 7th moved on, the Edessa and her escorts remained behind to guide the people of Greacum in their first steps along the path of the Imperial Truth and take suitable recruits. The Astartes detachment was small, barely forty battlebrothers and two Apothecaries remained behind, eager to rejoin their brethren and Robert de Craon, designated Master of Greacum, was no exception.One of Valerius Magnus chosen; a noble knight groomed for command, Master Robert had his man travel from one farming community to the next by jetbike.None however took the reports of greenskins in the great forests which dotted the planet serious and so the stage was set.For the greenskins had neither been purged nor had they even fought in great numbers against the second legion.Those who were defeated numbered less than three hundred and it was Robert de Craon who had achieved an easy victory, for which he was rewarded with temporary stewardship over Greacum. It took not long for Master Robert to declare the planet fully compliant and prepare to rejoin the rest of the legion, but the day of their departure, the green tide struck.Pouring out of the forests, the greenskins began to pillage and destroy.Later analysis considers the loss of life a failure on the part of the second Legion. Where other Legions would deploy Recon squads, the second Legion refrained of using them on worlds, which would join the Imperium willingly.As such Robert de Craon was taken completely by surprise. Refusing to call for immediate reinforcements, Robert led his forty battlebrothers to meet the enemy in combat, underestimating the sheer numbers which he would face, leaving the two Apothecaries behind.In the end, only the youngest Astartes would survive the fateful encounter and bring news of the threat.After the loss of Master Robert, the defences of Greacum were mediocre at best. The human soldiers were seasoned in fighting off small scale raids, but never before had the greenskins amassed in these numbers.Ragnar Arlion, the only surviving battlebrother did, what Rober de Craon out of pride had not: Meeting the former ruling body of Greacum, he learned that the greenskins had most of the time fought each other and that large conflicts with them happened only every once or twice in a century.Considering orbital bombardment conducted by the Edessa, an old grand cruiser was declined. Instead an emergency broadcast was send, urging the 7th expedition fleet to return and messengers dispatched, resulting in massive treks moving northwards to the planetary capital.While fate can be a cruel mistress, as the second would learn in its late days, this time it smiled upon them.Having been send to Greacum the day it declared allegiance, a fleet of the Mechanicum arrived shortly after the call for reinforcements had been send. Tasked with creating a starport at the location of the planetary capital and delivering supplies for Robert’s Astartes, the leading Magos quickly agreed to assist in the ways he could.

Machine God Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Friday 13th, I finally re-found this thread. I thought I had imagined it, I went to AoD nothing, did search zilch. Remember WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Uh, what? :DDoes anyone know if this http://www.ebay.de/itm/Light-Tank-Turret-/251215239237 fit to a GW Rhino?One of my early attempts at building a turret myself ended with the gunmount of a Basilisk simply slapped on top of the Rhino...Figured I'll finish this, come on, A Rhino as SPG, I like the idea.And I think I'll try the ten breachers from ebay... it is most likely a recast... but I cannot afford two batches of them by forgeworld :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I'm not 100% but I'm fairly sure you need the turret plate from Blood and Skulls as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I did not found the turret plate on ebay, so I thought the swivelling mount thingy is supposed to work like this.Alternativly, I can cut something so it will work... Uh, shame on me... the swiveling mount is actually the part where the earth shaker will be mounted... Edited September 22, 2015 by Crizza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Oh my... I just bought 5 breacher on ebay... way cheaper than on forgeworld... I'm looking forward... and hope the quality is not that bad For good measure I added Mk3 command set, brass templar symbols, volkitecharger, mk3 power weapons, another breacher squad andd the Apothecaries...Think of using the etched brass as template for painting the templar cross...

Crizza Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Yeah, my Forgeworld stuff arrived today :)And I gotta say I'm really impressed. The modells look great, I found absolutely no bubbles, nothing is bent or damaged...Guess my local GW guy will soon get a breacher squad up his ass :DSo since I have a massive cold, tomorow after handing my assignment in, I'll start assembling.But I think using the etched brass as templates will not work :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Ok... so several weapon are bent, but hey, nothing hot water will fix.But that etched brass how do I cut the small thingies which hold the symbols in place? My side cutter is to big, and it is already designed for cutting small stuff and how do apply them?I pressed it towards a torso, but then theres the problem of glueing it in place right...Have basecoated five breacher and their helmets, the first apothecary, replaced the chainsword with an axe, realy like him, think he'll become Hypocras, Master of the Hospitalers.But that moment when corax white won't fit to the model or you'll notice a mold line -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 So, two WIP shots of Hypocras... changed the chainsword for a axe... his right arm is on hold, I'm toying with giving him a volkite charger instead of the pistol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Looks nice. Bit you have to dillute your colors more. Better to have mkre thin layers than one thick. You see it on your face mask. Details are dissappearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Will try this... I have a problem.The figures colored with runefang steel... this presents the problem of how to do the weapons... I based the volkite charger with warplock bronze, but realized that the tubes are warplock bronze and layered with brass scorpion.Right now I'm thinking about going for golden weaponry or some green weapons? golly gee, I just broke of Hypocras' axe -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 One of the first things i learned about the legions was: keep it simple. One main color and one additional color is the main look for the legions.max 3 colors for the armor. Chapters in 40 k have more . of course your special chars could be more colorful. So as i see it. You have allready to much. Steel,brass,green and white. Red as well. If i look on your hypocrass and there I am not sure if he has the main colors. Seems like my own Wardens with lot of metallics so I would give him a black weapon. Simple and yet in contrast to the rest. Dilute your colors with a medium not water cause you have more control of the flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crizza Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hm, the main color for the armor is steel... eyes and the likes are gonna be red, trims and so on gold... Hypocras got green for his canisters, but thats it :D Thought about going black for weapons as well... that or red... grey knights are a thing there...
