CaptainStabby Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Warning, giant pic dump incoming! So, I have been cranking on getting these boys assembled in anticipation of a FW order my friend placed coming in soon. I wanted to have a force sorted that I could goof around with. There is probably a tactical squad and a Contempter waiting in the wings for them as well so I can shuffle things around. There is one final model coming for the force, a VI Legio Moritat, I'm pretty geeked out to sort that one, have a few ideas that I think should shake out well. Also I am not a smart human. I realized after assembling them that there are in fact TWO shoulder plates on the Cataphracti... So, yeah, need to fix the rest of those tomorrow, can't be bothered right now. Without further babbling, here comes The Rout!

CaptainStabby Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Bitz arrived today for the Moritat, half day of work due to a field trip to see Deadpool, and I got a long weekend. Everything is coming up Stabby!! Came home and cranked through the build for this guy, I knew pretty much what I wanted to do so it only took about 40 mins. I'm still debating on the head position, and he's got some greenstuff work on the left wrist and right shoulder that needs seeing to. I'm half tempted to order a bunch of loose skulls for the blank part of the base but that might make him look even more Khorne-ey than he already does.

Kelborn Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hm... let's see. We got a dude with two axes. We got a dude with double bolters. We got volkite *pew pew* weapons. They are all members of one of my favorite legions.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Wow. Every model in this thread looks like he benches over 500. I love Deathwalker, he's easily my favourite model here (and the rest are brilliant). BUT. This is purely subjective, but I think you've got the wrong head on that model. I'd prefer to see a more imposing helm (the faux-Viking horns don't do it for me) or a really menacing bare head. Something that screams more 'murder incarnate' and less 'barbarian'. Totally just my subjective opinion, so if you're happy with it as-is, disregard. I also like the second head position best. Great stuff :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318476-vi-legio-boarding-party/#findComment-4305260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainStabby Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Cheers for all the comments folks! I appreciate it. @Bulbafist Steal away! @Jud Cottrell Cheers, yeah, I've found over the years that subtle positioning of torsos and such can give a good sense of impending violence that any proper Astarte ought to have imo. @ Arkhan & Cthonia It's funny how divisive the helmet is. I have wanted to use that helmet for a Space Wolf for years, so it likely won't change unless something just hits me when I see it, this guy and the rest of the force he's attached to won't see paint for quite awhile so it may happen. It's weird that it says Iron Warrior to people. I mean I know it's from the old IW upgrade kit, but it has always felt out of place there to me. With as tropey as GW is with the Wolves I really feel like it should have been ours all along. (yes, I know vikings didn't actually have horned helms). I was looking at the model today and now I'm considering attempting to gs the bronze support bits around the eye slot that viking helms did have, that might pull it closer towards proper vikingness. Something like this. http://previewcf.turbosquid.com/Preview/2014/05/27__05_24_00/helmhigh_%20(5).jpgf7930edd-066d-4545-83cc-edf1b4aec9c0Larger.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318476-vi-legio-boarding-party/#findComment-4305676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I painted a test Veteran. Pretty happy with how he's come out. The pack marking is picking up a ton of glare, it's much cleaner in RL, still a giant pain though, I'm going to need to sort a better way to do those going forward. Also need to make a decision on what to do with the bases. The group is nominally for Blood int he Void games, but I don't know if I want to stick with deck plating bases. Decisions decisions...

CaptainStabby Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ok, so, not a Wolf, but it is Heresy flavored so I figured I'd put him in here. Also, how do I change the title of the thread? Anyhow...

Ryltar Thamior Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Wow, there's some seriously excellent Wolves in here! Particularly a fan of your Axeman with the 40k Iron Warriors head [have also had success achieving a 'Germanic' look with some of the 30k Iron Warriors heads myself]If I might ask, where's the long flowy banner on your Vexilla from? And, for that matter, the axe? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318476-vi-legio-boarding-party/#findComment-4694042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStabby Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 The banner is from the witch elf blood cavalry... things. I forget the correct name. Axe, shoulder plates and bionic arm are all Anvil Industry.

Dantay VI Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Your Wolves are looking great, I agree with Arkhan about the Moritats helm, but overall amazing work :) I tried doing the helms as you said with gs, but failed dismally so used paint to pretty decent effect, liquid GS might be good for it though :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318476-vi-legio-boarding-party/#findComment-4708398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
