++ March of the Legions: X Legion ++


Recommended Posts

Well, there is also this guide, which I have used for my rank'n'file:

For blueish tint though...Well, I did a light pewter rub'n'buff on my Ferrus, with blue and purple washes for the base armour. I really should go get some proper photos of him one of these days

(Edit, forgot to sign my own name.... le sigh) ^^

Managed to get the final assembly done between my shifts, now on to the painting.

The head (I got a bit over-eager and started painting)

I'll spoiler the other views to save space

 

 

 

The fluff will come when I've written it in the post with the finished model. For now though, a little flavour - 

 

 

They said that Isstvan was the end. That we were shattered, fragmented and beyond salvage. The Drop Site gutted our legion, scattered our clans across the stars and yet... here we still are. Isstvan shattered our Legion, and in the years since we have remained a thorn in the side of the traitors, a demonstration that a broken blade can still draw blood. And now, Tallarn. Tallarn will be our re-forging...

 

Done and dusted!  Feel free to shout at me if I should save this for the end of the month.

++We are the witnesses of his final day.  His final minute.  His final breath.  We are the witnesses of his betrayal and his murder.   We watched as his blood gushed out onto the black sands and stained them crimson.  It trickled down from where he had fallen and pooled at our feet.   We bore witness to the slaughter of our father and our brothers, and for this, we vow our embittered, unending vengeance.   No bolter shall stay our wrath.  No blade shall lay us low.  No heathen, verminous traitor shall take our lives.

 

 

For we are already dead. ++

+Identification complete+

-Begin

 

Legionnaire identified as Alrack Demogorgnn of Legio X, Captain of Clan Morragul's 2nd Order, unnoficial title of Tallyman.  During the battle of Istvaan V, after the Red Talon's assigned boarding parties had been all but used up, Demogorgnn was placed in charge of a last ditch assault on an Iron Warriors vessel currently blocking Autek Mor's flagship's path to the planet.  Many boarding torpedoes were shot down before impact, leaving Demogorgnn's party broken and scattered across the ship.  Those few that survived and found their Captain again were quickly surrounded by warriors of IV Legion.  In an attempt to escape, Demogorgnn fell back to the shuttle bays and stole a craft which he piloted to Istvaan's surface.  Demogorgnn's eventual fate is unknown. 

How did you paint that, Slips? ohmy.png

Base coated with a 50/50 Mix of Leadbelcher & Nuln Oil.

Which looked something like this:

http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-01-21%2022.51.47_zpsjxttxkwv.jpg

Then I Painted Reikhland Fleshshade on Select Pieces which ended up looking like this:

http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-01-21%2023.00.34_zpswnxg5r38.jpg

So The Entirety of the Upperbody but not the back with the Vents and Stuff and a few plates on the Legs.

http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-01-21%2023.33.40_zpspxn4h0pm.jpg

Then, I Added Druchii Violet to Pretty much all the Trims. Upper Shoulder was layered Waywatcher Green the bottom plate a Druchii Voilet -> Drakenhoff Nightshade -> Guilliman Blue.

Legs were, from top to bottom:

Reikhland Fleshshade -> Druchii Violet -> Guilliman Blue

Druchii Violet -> Drakenhoff Nightshade -> Guilliman Blue

Drakenhoff Nightshade -> Guilliman Blue

Reikhland Fleshshade -> Druchii Violet -> Guilliman Blue

Agrax Earthshade -> Lamenters Yellow

Leather Pturges were: Reikhland Fleshshade -> Agrax Earthshade 'till dark enough.

The Back was:

Drakenhoff Nightshade (except the bum plate which was Reikhland -> Lamenters)

The Torso was then coated in Lamenters Yellow -> Agrax -> Lamenters or something like that.

The Glazes went on 2 Coats minimum going up to 3 for the Green on the Shoulders.

Everything was then coated ALL over in Nuln Oil in 2 Relatively Thick Coats.

Drybrush over Detail with Necron Compound.

Edit: As with 100% all of my March of the Legion Entries, this was literally an experiment and I winged it from start to finish with only a rough idea of what I wanted to achieve going into it tongue.png

You can see in some of my Pictures that I was thinking of using Biel-Tan and/or Coelia Greenshade at some point but decided against it. Other Colors I considered but didnt use were: Carroburg, Bloodletters, Cassandora, Seraphim Sepia.

Turned out pretty well happy.png

Ehh its not really. Most colors were applied in only a single coat. What made it long was the drying time.

 

The main colors were Druchii Violet and Drakenhoff Nightshade anyways hahaha with only the upper shoulder and torso being different.

Finally got a snap of my dude, he is a Praevian! Fluff'll come fully when he's painted, but I'll chuck a quote beneath him for now to add flavour.

"They call themselves Emperor's Children. Let us see how that claim fares against my iron children..."

Yeah, but the leg jazz is what worries me. Still, I'll give it a spin and see what happens. msn-wink.gif

The leg jazz isnt all those steps piled on :P

Its going from Upper Plate to lower plate on the leg.

So step one would be the waist plate. Step 2 would be thigh. 3 Would be knee and 4 would be shin :P

I, Frostmourne, accept my role in this.

 

I promise to lead the X Legion into the zone of war, and conduct them to raise the storm.

 

I will do so no matter the ferocity or ingenuity of the foe.

I pledge my honor to the X Legion.

 

On this matter, and by the hands of Ferrus, I swear.

Had an idea in my head ever since I saw the Iron Hands tacticals and immortals. Really excited to take part in March of the Legions at last. Bit of a late start, because of problems starting an account, but I started basecoating today already.
