Reinhards Primaris Crusade

[Eberious]

Don't know if you finished the sword, but here's what I did with the same blade style I based yours on. 

 

 

Run just a line of 'ard coat varnish up the middle groove(or Fuller as I decided to look it up). The blade had a slight dry brush of a light grey before hand leaving the fuller a darker shade of black/grey.

So... I took the train to the next town over, went to see a friend, but also stopped by a flgs to pick up the new fangled Executioner as well as 'ard coat to try the Fuller thing... except i forgot the 'ardcoat at my friends.

Figure I might just calll the champion done for the purposes of the ETL, with the mental note to try out the different method of doing the sword later when i've gotten my 'ard coat.

Meanwhile, I've actually gotten a fair ways with the Redemptor this past week

Need to tidy him up, finish up the various details, like the shield design etc, add a transfer or two

[Eberious]

Lol, dam it. Get them to send it to you. And looking good, could you get a few more pics of the right, left and back please? Would like to see more of what you did with the details.

 

Cheers,

The Redemptor and the Emperor's Champion's bases are well done.

[Marshal Vespasian]

I am interested in what youll do with the sword as I might have the option to get the old two handed EC from a mate as well.

[Marshal Reinhard]

So, the dreadnought is pretty much finished, though i'll probably obsess over minor details for a while yet.

And since it was magnetized, here it he is with the plasma cannon instead:

Realize if I had vowed him for the plasma incinerator instead of the onslaught, the vow would've been worth 1 more point... Basically a valuable lesson in that tactical play might be useless if you're operating with false information

Next wow will feature the alluded to Executioner in my previous post.

[Marshal Vespasian]

Goddamn those shoulders look impressive painted up. I am the jelly.

 

On the topic of vowing more units: do I habe to revow upon completion of my first vow? Because right now my urge to revow is struggling with my urge to defeat my pile of shame

[Eberious]

Very very nice, loving it.

[NeuronFlux]

Great job! I love the little extra bits you added on. You really took advantage of the very posable legs/feet on the model too - the pose/base looks great together. Definitely an inspiration piece!

Have to stop you right there. The posing, placement of extra bits, the conversion: all of it was done by the member who posted right before you. A modeling comission.

 

I agree though he did a bang up job, just happy that my paint splatter has done it a small amount of justice ;)

[Marshal Reinhard]

Haven't added a Castellan for a while, so let's fix that.

Given that I paint them in Swordbrother colours, it occurred to me when I took a new group picture, that they're kinda looking like a squad of swordbrothers.

Oh and some progress on the third hover brick:

Need to dust him off before I progress, sheesh.

[Brother Carpenter]

Isnt a castellan theoretically a sb?

[Marshal Reinhard]

I believe they are in fact, yes, so it lends credence to my choice of using the SB colours.

 

I think they're rarely depicted as wearing the SB colours though, usually its the standard black and white pauldrons, same as with our Marshals (this is the case for most instances  in the 4th edition codex... in the 8th edition SM codex there's even a converted DI Primaris Castellan that has white pauldrons with a gold trim)

 

Given that Primaris don't have any other veteran units (unless you upgrade an intercessor squad with a stratagem), I feel the army needed the colour palette so I'm not regretting the choice

 

I'd like an actual squad though, all armed similarily

[Marshal Vespasian]

I too love painting castellans. For hqs I just paint their pauldrons in whatever way I am "feeling" right then.

 

But you are right, thinking about it, I should paint some more classic white shoulders.

 

Looks great as we are used from you Reinhard. Also really enjoy the "lt squad". That one does have the best pose out of all of them though

[Sword Brother Adelard]

I think you've done them spot on, colour wise, they look good as a group too.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Castellan looks great!

[Mmmmm Napalm]

Here is how I color code them:

 

Castellans: red cords against black but with gold detailing on decorative elements, possibly Pauldrons as well (as opposed to silver for standard sword brethren's aquilas and such).

 

For Marshals, I do white Pauldrons, with gold trim, and black crosses with red lining like Helbrecht's.

[Marshal Mattias]

Really liking your Primaris - I think it's some of your best work. The Castellan Crew are looking boss.

[Marshal Reinhard]

So I painted another Veteran Sergeant Swordbrother. He's a bit of two for one deal, as I got to paint my first ever ork too:

Yeah, he needs clean up, oh boy.

And though it was completed weeks ago, I'm not sure I ever posted the completed Executioneer here:

Not sure if this will mark the end of my ETL participation or not. Have one more vow left, but nothing to paint, and the new stuff will be cutting it rather close to the deadline

[Sword Brother Adelard]

Are those large crosses the transfers from the Mighty Brush?

[Marshal Reinhard]

On the Executioner? no they're from my old Forgeworld Black Templar transfer sheet. still have a few transfers left on it

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the the Swordbrother and Repulsor Executioner. The Ork corpse on the Swordbrother's base is a great touch!

[Sete]

I'm gonna be stealing some ideas from here. Excellent work.

[Marshal Vespasian]

Sterling work as always. That decal on the anniversary sgt needs to be Ried into the loincloth tho. It looks really stark right now.

 

That repulsor looks really nice in Black. Gotta say.

[Marshal Reinhard]

Good call on the transfer. Can't really take credit for the ork itself on the base (besides the paintjob) as the model comes with him. But it was fun trying to paint him and doing the battle damage. Since I swapped out his shoulder pads, I emulated some damage on those with my pinvice. Pretty pleased with it. Will remember for any future sword brother i may make.
