Nomus Sardauk Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Bah!!! Now I have to respond to multiple points, you Loresmith..... Bwahahaha, the plan was a success... >: ) Psycho&Loresmith: I have a few other of those sabres. Could you both wait to see what an enhanced sheathed sabre looks like? Maybe meet halfway...? I value both opinions and both swords look cool in my biased opinion. I'm cool with that, I shall await this "enhanced" sabre with eager anticipation. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/6/#findComment-4433387 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 ^^What he said. Can't wait to see this enhanced saber.

jimbo13 Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 I may make more of a curve on the sword. Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/6/#findComment-4433499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Agreed, I'd like to see more of a curve on the sword.

Soldier of Dorn Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Yeah, a bit of a curve would definitely be good. Still prefer the broadsword slightly, but this one's growing on me.

I still am siding with you Psycho more and more with the broadsword.

~Drakzilla~ Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 New curve looks good, and I imagine more akin to actual Mongolian swords...but I must say, the original has a certain exotic-ness to it.

The more I curve the blade the more I dislike the slimmer blade... Darn it. More tossed up now. Bah!!! I flipped the broad sword for arguments sake so one could see the oath paper/the paper flows more with the banner... See: http://i.imgur.com/SJitFetl.jpg Thoughts again?

~Drakzilla~ Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I am still biased toward the scimitar(think of the fluffiness!). But if you must go broadsword, I'd flip it so the paper obeys gravity, maybe add a flowing purity seal or two to add some movement?

jimbo13 Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have some brass etch and some black Templar oath paper that might seal the deal. HOLD FAST drakzilla.

Nomus Sardauk Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I like the new curve, it's a lot smoother than the previous attempt and looks like the blade could be drawn really fast in combat in an Iajutsu sort of way. That said I'll echo drak in that part of me is still drawn to the original sword as it does have a certain exotic look to it, but I'll leave which one to use up to you Jimbo if you decide on the Mongol blade over the broadsword.

Doctor Perils Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I love the new curve too. Though the scabard probably looks a bit bland when compared to the rest of the model? Perhaps if you sculpt some WS fetishes on it, it will bulk it out to your liking? (Plus the blade doesn't actually look any thinner then the broadsword to me :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/6/#findComment-4433776 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Plus the blade doesn't actually look any thinner then the broadsword to me :P I have zero sculpting skills so unfortunately that's not happening. It's not so much the thinness. The scimitar has more appeal and it adds a better sense of motion.

Nomus Sardauk Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 An easier alternative could be to paint the scabbard in the Vth's colours, white sheath with the red lightning bolt free handed on, simple & effective.

Soldier of Dorn Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I still like the Templar sword better, personally. I think it has more to do with the size than anything else.

jimbo13 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 As I decide what to do I painted up one of my two quad mortar crew men. The defensive gunner...

jimbo13 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Decided to put together a Knights Errant. Roughly... By no means complete and not for my fists, plus I wanted to use the Garro model. Duhh. Let me know what the peanut gallery thinks please. Still need to add a sheathed sword or sharp pointy object to him. http://i.imgur.com/QtTM3VTl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Og5spJxl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/6/#findComment-4438146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ohhh man, that pose is AWESOME. It looks like he's walking against a storm or something. Where are you planning on putting the sword? If it's going to be in his off hand, might I suggest a reverse grip?

Doctor Perils Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Yep, a very nice pose. However, I think he calls for a more ornate helmet, if you don't mind me saying so. I'd recommend not using a reverse grip: they only really work well for daggers or Asian-influenced designs (imo) How about a mace or an axe?
