jimbo13 Posted July 8, 2016 Author 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? The sword I was planning on putting on his backpack, or small of the back. I'm glad you like the pose. I wanted him striding with the cuirass clearly visible. Will answer reverse grip with Thorn below. 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? Helmet we can agree on. Will test a few out after work, which could turn into eventually... I was actually tempted to give him a power dagger if not a sword. An axe is tempting, maybe more in the vein of a hatchet. A mace is just yum.... I can envision the short one from the old metal model with the Mk.8 armor. I don't want it obscenely large. In this case size does matter. And for Psycho, it's not about how big it is. It's all about how you use it (Ridiculous shenanigans are acceptable in my thread.

Soldier of Dorn Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 And for Psycho, it's not about how big it is. It's all about how you use it Touché. :D The Knight Errant looks pretty cool. Beautiful use of the Garro body, and the pose overall just works beautifully. I would second the use of a power maul on the model, it just seems very suitable. For the head, I'd probably actually go with a Mk II head, but that's mostly just because that's my favorite mark helm. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/7/#findComment-4439181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the power maul I was going to try one of the MKII weapons pack ones. Nice and simple, will post the helmets that are in consideration as well as with the long sword on the back.

jimbo13 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thinking I'm going to try a maul as well as a few lightning claws to see how it looks. Hopefully slightly wicked.

Doctor Perils Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I think Blood Angels helmet 1 personally, the others look a bit dainty for an Imperial Fist. Blood Angels 2 has a few too many blood angels iconography bitz (drop + halo). Somehow the Dark Angels one seems...off, couldn't say why.

~Drakzilla~ Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I like the first and second options. Dark Angel helm seems very archaic and artificer-wrought, while the first Blood Angel helm has more of a classic Astartes look to it.

Using the fists mk7 pads as a stand in until I get pads I like. He will be a knight errant for another force. Does that change where you stand? I like the first and second options.

It might just be that it looks too slim when compared to the torso. Blood Angels 2 could work if he's an ex-BA, or if you shave off the halo and paint the drop blue (to represent his loss), or black if he's a murderer Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318304-red-devils-vii-legion-project-battle-report-incoming/page/7/#findComment-4441612 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a knight errant, no extra thingy mabobbers. Plus I'm going to have him be Garro's doppelganger. So he can appear to be everywhere waging the Sigilite's silent war.

Xenaur Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I like the first helmet looks meaner and a bit more standout compared to the second one. Go with the one you think is best though!

Brother Pheidias Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 FIRST!Please make it the first one, it works with the pads and the ornately wrought armour, without being definitively any specific Legion (I know it's 1st Legion, it just isn't as obvious as other Legion-specific helmets), and that Plastic Helmet just doesn't convey the same sense of originality, everyone and their Genesire has been using it since forever for anyone meant to stand out.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Dark Angels helmet on that Knight Errant, all day, every day. I really like the idea of using Dark Fury bodies for Destroyers. However, I'd advocate for as much black as possible - as you're already using red to distinguish veteran rank, the more black the better, as these guys were supposed to be a distinct 'wing' of the Legion in their own right. Just my personal feeling, of course. If you really wanted to add red somewhere, I'd keep it to a stripe on a black helm, maybe? I'd keep the jump packs black too to emphasise the grim, brutal look (although it has been said that I like black too much, so you make your own choice). I really do like the Errant and the Herald. How're you using the Errant in-game?

jimbo13 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I feel ya. I'll try it out and see how it looks. I may keep everything black except shoulder pads and backpacks. But I'll paint the bodies up and see how I feel I suppose. I love the stripe idea but can never get them straight... Drives me bonkers, do you have a suggestion? On the errant. No idea whatsoever... I just made him to do it originally but I found he'd be the same point value as my herald so I may just put him together and paint him up/use him when I don't feel like using the Herald, or feel super lucky about winning...

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yep, for the stripe you could just do the vent on the top of the Destroyer/MkIV helms. It looks a little like a crest already and goes in the same place a stripe would.

I bought some new purples from reaper and really want to try them out.

Soldier of Dorn Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've gotta agree with Arkhan here: I just can't really imagine purple for the banner. My first thought, given the colors you use, would be to go with red again, but that'd probably be a bit too much for the model as a whole. Nevertheless, I'm sure you can make it work, I just personally can't picture it. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. :tu: Shoot me a PM too, I'd love to see what you're writing.
