Stricken Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", When FW started to do the Horus Heresy as many of you know I swore myself to Horus and the XVIth fully. Well after all these years I've decided to start a new Legion project, and let me tell you it's been really really hard to pick with all of the awesomeness that goes on around here, in FW studios and fluff material. Originally I started with some Night Lords picking up Sevatar and painting a few marines however, it just felt hollow, joyless and with little excitement. So I decided to return to the Legion I had originally thought of; The Emperor's Children. There were several factors that help contribute to this, a big one being the Eidolon model; it is amazing probably my favorite of the character series. Their fluff as well, to be so prideful yet slightly arrogant but pushing themselves to excel in all forms of warfare while not detaching themselves from being "human"; only to fall to be excessiveness & hedonism (Everyone worships Slannesh in their own way ) I plan on my building my army around the 3rd company RoW with several fast options in true EC fashion; Jet bikes, Javelins, Assault marines, NOISE Marines with the options of Slannesh allies whenever they become available. So here is the first of many pics to follow. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0757_zpswn4iatky.jpg The start to my Legion is Eidolon himself (Finally!) and 10 Palantine Blades which I will use as Assault marines; once their done since I have SoH as my primary legion I can easily ally with them to try them out.

Stricken Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 @ Grieux: Thank you, I went with the Phoenician Purple that FW uses, having used there other paints I've really come to like their paint range.   So I present my Lord Commander Eidolon, I had a ton of fun painting this mini. There are lots of details that you'd expect from a EC character and presented some new challenges with painting whites and gold - something I'm not used to. The only thing on I never liked was the detractive base that he comes with so I used something different.   http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0765_zps2fjb90le.jpg  http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0766_zps1kgbyou6.jpg  http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0762_zpss5pzjshz.jpg  So next will be my Palantine Squad once I finish up some of my other projects.

Phatsquirre1 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Wow, great start to your IIIrd, I (usually) hate Eidolon with a passion, but love your paint job, especially the contrast of Eidolon's skin to his armor.

Stricken Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Well it's been a bit since I've posted but with a New Year demands new pictures. So to start I have my Palatine/assault marines - They are missing Jump packs atm but I've order some MK IV so they should be in soon.... Other than that I really like the Phoenix Spears, they really add that extra punch to the characters and the more detail I see as on the EC the more I'm excited for painting them. I've also swapped some of the arms just to ensure that each model will be different. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0776_zpsz5pzg7pc.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0777_zpsjbem4jfk.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0778_zpslcldmloi.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0779_zps7mypwlxz.jpg And to Finish off I present my Fulgrim man there is so much detail on him that to took me about two-three weeks just to paint him up. I did leave off some of the really small and flimsy bits but its not really noticeable. Down the road when I get more comfortable with writing scripture on mini's I'll revisit being the perfectionist I am . http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0772_zpsgovldqw7.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0773_zpsa8k54yvz.jpg http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww223/mbrooks_1987/IMG_0775_zpsmv7g8pjf.jpg Well that's all for now I have about 3 more Palatines to finish before I have 10 ready to go. With my free shipping Voucher I plan to get the Demios Rhino Bundle, brass and EC transfers just to flesh everything Out, I might even add the Imperical fist command squad as I though of a really cool Conversion using those minis but we'll see. My plan is to have roughly 3-5k worth of EC by the end of the year so far I think I'm off to a decent start.
