Ada Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Alongside my ZM project, http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323418-zone-mortalis-board/, I'm also working on a knight household. Picked up the renegade box a month ago and then an Archeron and Lancer last weekend from Warhammer world so plenty to do!

Silentz Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I like everything except the pose of the marine who is (presumably) about to get stomped. He looks like he's doing the YMCA. Is he there for scale, or part of the base? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323419-house-orpheus/#findComment-4427098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Haha yes he does I guess, and unfortunately yes he is meant to be part of the base . I guess he needs some work then.

Canadian_F_H Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 STOMP! nice! A good model for the about to get stomped marine imo would be the firing a bolt pistol guy from here. . https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Space-Marine-Casualties Just turn it up like he's shooting at the knight. Final act of defiance sort of thing. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323419-house-orpheus/#findComment-4427150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 That would make a great alternative thanks for the suggestion Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323419-house-orpheus/#findComment-4427442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ada Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Got some more of the model painted. http://i.imgur.com/qa8qMVI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/b2BX0TQ.jpg Slow progress Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323419-house-orpheus/#findComment-4432515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GalaxyChief Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I do like the idea of this diorama, however I would think the marine would not have fear struck in him if he was about to get stomped. At least that is what that pose conveys to me. I could see a guardsmen throwing his hands up at that, however I feel a marine regardless if he is a loyalist or traitor would do his best to weather the stomp. After all he is/was one of the Emperors finest and is encased in a ceramite armored suit that may very well afford him a chance of survival. Maybe throwing his shoulder into it to brace himself. I look forward to seeing this completed. Thanks for sharing!

GhostMalone Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hey buddy if you need an inspiration (I know it's a shameless plug but you can check out the maintenance bay in the aod) I love it when I see knight houses with paint jobs of this caliber here on the b&c!

Ada Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Thanks Kurama, some great Knights on your thread and a really great idea for a thread too, I'll certainly look to post this knight on there when it's complete. Think I may manage to pick up some titles too while I'm on there, got a Castigator and Errant painted to a base standard and picked up an Acheron and Lancer while was at warhammer world a few weeks back and I've got a Crusader to make up out of the wining knight from the renegades box. A fair bit of work to do, should be able to get stuck into it after I've finished my scratch build Zone Mortalis board. This hobby eats time!

Ada Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Been working on this fella for a few hours tonight and last night, progressing well I feel. Was nervous about painting the power first glow on his leg too, I think it looks just about OK. http://i.imgur.com/ryn07Kn.jpg http://i.imgur.com/91a1Fnf.jpg http://i.imgur.com/XGuxWm1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323419-house-orpheus/#findComment-4450740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about instead of a scared marine, I replace it with everyone's favourite 30k nut job, Khârn!! He looks about ready to tear the knight a new one I reckon.
