Kelborn Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 . . . That's really cool. To be honest, I like the Gravestalker a bit more (imho) but nevertheless, you've done a marvelous job, Apologist! He's like: "Oh really? Come here!"

Chief Captain Redd Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I absolutely adore the model. The use of the beading type patterns is absolutely fantastic. He reminds me a lot of Scottish highlanders that came to Michigan in the 1600's once the English took Michigan from the French, how they adapted and absorbed the Anishinaabe culture, absolutely perfect!

Grifftofer Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 He does look amazing. I really like the stature difference and the obvious personality differences that the two models' stances have when put together.

apologist Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Glad Sakima's going down well. Book 1 Legions: Harbingers, Grave Stalkers, Iron Bears, Scions Hospitalier, and the Drowned. Yeah, the Scions or the Drowned should be up next. Why not both? :) Assuming Hesh Kadesh and Slips are cool with me getting to grips with their Legions, I'll start planning the next two together. Both of these Legions look like fun challenges :) Quite fancy trying a Breacher with a round shield for the XVIth – that okay with you Hesh Kadesh? Slips, what would you like to see for the Scions Hospitalier?

Slips Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Honestly, I'd rather you just get some details about the Legion from me or Blunt and just come up with something you find suitable. Could be a Depthstrider Terminator, could be a Phantom (Vet Assault Marine), could be a Captain or a Line Marine, whatever inspires you the most :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325302-art-modelling-the-brotherhood-of-the-lost/page/5/#findComment-4527277 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 I've got a soft spot for regular Tactical marines, but I wonder if that's iconic for the Scions Hospitalier. They strike me as more inclined to specialism than the other Legions... Perhaps a Recon marine would be suitable? While reading around the Legion, there are references to Cyma pattern armour. I couldn't find any images, but from the descriptions, am I right in describing it as a more streamlined variant of Mark IV, with a helm somewhat similar to a Thallax?

bluntblade Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) That's my mental image of them - I can't speak for Slips, except to say he specified plain visors and streamlined armour - and recon marines would be something new for the Legion. Perhaps even for the project as a whole.

bluntblade Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Well, seeing as they have modified Narthecia, it'd be another thing to showcase. While I think of it, was someone talking about a recon/sharpshooter elite recently? Kelborn? Demus?

Doctor Perils Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Man, that Bear looks great! Nice and imposing, and showing a more sombre side to the bears than the usual casual joviality I've seen them depicted as in a few of the stories or Artwork - perfect for a Bear in battle after the loss of Daer'dd :) If I can be honest though, I feel the facepaint colours (the off-white and turquoise that is also found in other details on the armour) really work that well together, or with the colour of the armour. Between themselves, the contrast isn't great enough, and they look more aztec then the northern american indians - I think black and sanguine red are more closely associated to american indians. (sorry if they come from Chief Captain Redd's personnal knowledge of his culture, I'm only speaking from my shallow knowledge of Pop culture associated to those peoples) Assuming Hesh Kadesh and Slips are cool with me getting to grips with their Legions, I'll start planning the next two together. Both of these Legions look like fun challenges http://image.bolterandchainsword.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png Oooh, are you thinking about a mini-diorama/combat scene pose for both of them? Like Loken vs. Abaddon? That would be absolutely awesssooommmmee!!! Do you know if you could get some kind of sharkskin effect for the shield or a tabard or something? It might offset the traditionnally smooth aspect of power armour ? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325302-art-modelling-the-brotherhood-of-the-lost/page/5/#findComment-4527382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Hey, how about doing something like a giant squad with members of each legion? One being their apothecary, one being a sharpshooter (Dune Serpent), one being an assault marine (Berserker), etc.? Or at least a great group picture of all together. Or something like the Scion one extends his hand to help another legionnaire from another legion? so many options...so many levels of awesomeness :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325302-art-modelling-the-brotherhood-of-the-lost/page/5/#findComment-4527397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesh Kadesh Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Apologist, that's absolutely immense! You have a talent and a half! Of course you have my thumbs up, you're likely to do a far better job than I could even dream of doing myself. I'm unfortunately in the middle of a move from the UK to Australia, so don't have any models to showcase, but on the Drowned thread, there is a few inspiration pieces. Their colours can be seen in my profile pic. The Blue/Green colouration doesn't have to be exact, I'd tried to picture it as the Sons of Horus Green (as in the Reaver Squad shoulder pads), but with a bit more blue in. If using Citadel paints, maybe a Sotek Green base, with a Blue Wash? The metal is meant to be a brushed copper. The symbol can be in any preference, the legion doesn't make any particular stipulations over the colours of imagery (and at the same time, aren't opposed to it, they allow individuals to express themselves in how they wish; whether it's in poetry, oaths of moment, filigreed designwork, etc. It's up to owner of the armour to curate their own armour and spend what spare time they have each day to themselves; some are more creatively minded and express themselves through their armour designs. Because it's all individual pieces of work, some may be extremely shoddy, while some pieces of armour may have been too badly damaged, and have been replaced with un-embellished pieces until such a time as it can be worked on). The only universal symbol is the Kraken symbol somewhere, and that their eyes are light-grey/white (as if the eyes have gone blind, or like a shark can roll its eyes back into its head). Again, the suits of armour are peicemeal designed so that the wearer will use what's appropriate for their role, with veteran members often mixing and matching different marks of armour, even if they don't make any further changes to the design of their gear. Weaponry is similarly fairly individual. There is no compunction within the legion to adopt a particular manner of fighting simply because the rest of the legion does so. Some will prefer fighting with a straight edged gladius, while others will prefer fighting with a chainbladed scimitar. Also, unlike the other legions, the Drowned do not have a set recruitment world except that of their Primarch's homeworld, instead, they harvest the crop of the young children from a defeated planet, and select the best to be used as their new recruits, even on joint operations with other legions, the Drowned get first call if the Monarch's in charge of the legion wish to enact that grant. This leads to many recruits using weapons that they are used to from their homeworld. The weapon of choice of the Styxian recruits (those of Morro's homeworld) is a Shotel; essentially a curved hand and a half sword, with the cutting edge on the inside of the curve, and sharpened to a point. As to the Drowned's operational areas, they tend to fight in the hazardous area's after branching out of their initial niche of submarine operations, and they're marines, so can be weathered however you like. In particular, they're fairly adept with using mining gear like Mole Mortars and Hades Breaching Drills as well as Drop Pods etc to attack from every angle. That is the legion symbol, but really, any stylised Kraken/Squid/Octopus will do. Other markings aren't really a thing; I'm not sure if we've got an Icarion Insurrection symbol yet, but I also like the symbol of the eye. On Terra, they were recruited out of the Mediterranean basin, to maybe Egypt and the Levant, but got their name when the Gibraltan and Suez Dams were destroyed during the Unification Wars by their commanders, killing many of the legion during the flood, but emerging victorious. If there was a tagline for them, it would be that "Any Victory is Victory Enough", and aren't afraid to get down and dirty, and fighting very dirty (the kind of people who'd bring an assault cannon to a knife fight). In regards to going by a name, they were called the XVIth Legion, and they never bothered to rescind it, for they don't really care what they're called. They did object to being presented as bringers of peace and enlightenment by being called "The Lanterns in the Darkness" though. Hope that helps, but please don't feel too restricted - the legion is entirely individual (it was initiailly an Alpha Legion "Chapter" during the conception process before the BotL came about), and if when you're painting something it doesn't feel right, feel free to make that change as necessary.
