The Pride of the IIIrd Legion - Emperor's Children


Scrub Eraser

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!  I'm entering the world of 30k because of a variety of reasons - I love Noise Marines (I play Chaos in 40k), I love the fluff about the IIIrd Legion's fall, I think Fulgrim is pretty dope, and I just really enjoy putting purple on the table.  I've done some stuff in the past with Kakophoni as stand-in Noise Marines...

Unfortunately, they're unbased, but I've been moving past that this year.  Miniatures aren't done until they're based!!

 

And for now, a sneak peak on incoming things.  I've taken a few cues from kizzdougs in his EC thread as far as green stuff laurels and numerals on the shoulder pads - it's super low effort and I dig it.  I'm not good enough to make those palatins on the chest though.

 

Early Rhino Work (two on the way):

Guilty.. I'm a new airbrusher, I had some intense success with a Soul Grinder last week to learn the basics.  I will probably redo the blending on this Rhino because I'm not terribly thrilled with it atm.  I plan on going with a really weathered look.

 

And an unpcoming Primus Medicae with a Phoenix Spear which haven't arrived in the mail yet...

I love me some EC!

 

The Primus looks promising and the Noise Marines are slick. What stage is the Rhino at though? Looks very...violety?

This is a big inner struggle for me. The standard EC purple is much darker than the lightest color basecoat I'm used to painting on my Slaanesh Chaos stuff. I really like how the lighter purple pops and weathering will show up much better than on the standard purple.

 

OTOH, gold shows up much better against the standard EC purple, and I am pretty dedicated to the fluff so I will probably fix it...

Always love to see more purple! The Third are such a great legion, so much fun to be had, wether you go loyalist or traitor....

 

I like the purple and black on the Kakophoni, a good look. Good use of the legion champ for the medicae, I like it a lot, it may well need to be stolen....

 

The rhino is looking good too - airbrushing is a lot of fun, so stick with it. Try using very thin mid tones to glaze in the blends, it'll take a few coats but don't rush!

Quick WIP.  I only realized after that I was going to have these dudes trudging through sand and not mud but...I'll figure it out.  Not terribly happy with how the chest turned out (trying some things out) - going to clean off the dust enamel that I threw on there, freehand an apothacary insignia (the decal from the sheet doesn't fit on this chest, grr), and weather from there.

Update time! I was out of town this last weekend so I didn't have a lot of time to work on the hobby. sad.png

On the other hand, Palatine Blades are so damn pretty by themselves that I barely need to do anything to them. Two regular blades will have a Phoenix Spear, as will the sarge.

I didn't like how the sarge was holding the spear since this pic was taken so I reposed him a little.

The Primus Medicae is mostly based and mostly done, just cleaning up a few details (the top of the backpack, base, touching up some of the scratches with metal).

Aw yiss, it's time for an update. Palatine Blades are done...! Oh wait, I took the pictures and forgot to do the rivets on their backpacks. Pretend those are done. smile.png

Tried to really stick to the fluff for these guys - the Palatine Blades are decorated warriors one and all - but paint different parts of their armor platinum for going above and beyond and I tried to show that seniority throughout the squad. The first guy is a brand new Palatine Blade.

Then I have four Palatine Blades that are the 'standard' line member with various parts of them decorated depending on personal preference. His leg says 'Pride'. How appropriate.

Next, this guy is still relatively undecorated, only his pauldron is painted platinum.

This marine has 'Folly' written on his leg. The folly of following the False Emperor, indeed.

And the last one of the 'standard' Palatine Blades, who earned the privilege of wearing the helmet:

Onto the veterans in the next post...

First veteran:

First double platinum pauldron guy with helmet, this is one bad dude.

The most decorated veterans are gifted with a Phoenix Spear... (note, have noticed that his pistol didn't get finished).

And finally, what we've all been waiting for.  The Palatine Prefector!
