Legio Favilla walks - Ashen Gods unleashed

[Sherrypie]

Personally wouldn't mind if it was more of a sigil for the Polaris fortress and others were using whatever they liked, going for unique designs for each, but I'm reasonably confident the official presentation will (sadly) tend towards more uniform look.

 

The Emperor did use lion iconography alongside the eagles, though. Both are real world symbols for pompous royals and work very well in the context of Emperor's own armour, Custodes equipment and similar places.

[Fajita Fan]

The individual houses having individual predator symbols would look pretty badass...

[Sherrypie]

And 'ere we paint again, with the first Warbringer getting near the dreaded trim stage and overflow paint going into the psi-titan. This time we'll be stomping some Angels, it seems.

Excellent, as always! I really love your grimdarking, just wonderful!

[Sherrypie]

Thanks Mendi, gives me strength to wake up and get on with the trims

[Fajita Fan]

Those missiles look great. I'm also borrowing your use of VC skelly bits on my Sir Mordred knight. 

[Gore Crow]

That base looks sick!

 

Great gothic-ing

[Sherrypie]

Progress, mainly details like decals and weathering left after a day of trim-slogging. Must also paint a few guys running on the gunnery deck.

 

 

 

Borrow away, Fajita, he must look the part if he's to bring down the golden age of Camelot.

 

Thanks GCrow, wanted to get a bit of colour in there if the engine itself will be darker than my usual fare.

[Fajita Fan]

Awesome armor additions. 

[Master Ciaphas]

Fantastic conversions followed by great paint jobs; very well done!!!

[Mendi Warrior]

Just wonderful! Sounds like repeating myself 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Excellent stuff, horrible but in a good way.

[Sherrypie]

Cheers lads, we strive for the old definition of awesome as fear and awe inspiring, dreadful even :D

[schoon]

Very cool! From what kit are the missiles?

[Fajita Fan]

I think those are AA assets from Aeronautica and they look awesome, don't they?  I haven't opened my box of them yet but I thought of something similar to represent something on a Warhound or Reaver.  They look far cooler than the dinky AA guns.

[Sherrypie]

Very cool! From what kit are the missiles?

Aeronautica ground assets, a lovely bit of kit in general.

[Fajita Fan]

I keep thinking of things I can do with little AI missiles like wrist mounted mini missiles for an Inquisitor. There’s also the little Acastus lascannons that might look cool mounted on a wrist or shoulder like the Predator.

 

Are you doing glowing bits on your psi-titan’s Ciricrux?

[Mandragola]

Wish I'd got some of those ground assets. They seem to have been a limited run. I actually had a vague look at AI earlier this week but found that pretty essential stuff like the area of engagement map appear to have been discontinued.

Yeah, but with the new book Imps vs. Tau we will get a new map and maybe new ground assets. At least i hope so.

[Sherrypie]

Contempt for the World walks!

The first Warbringer joins the Ashen Gods, bringing us up to ten painted engines. Put a few guys on the deck, tried out some more damages on the metals and freehanded some stripes.


















Glowing bits on the psi-titan? Could be, not entirely sure about its colours yet.

[Mandragola]

Awesome work as ever. I've just managed to buy a set of ground assets for AI, so might use some on bases myself.

[Fajita Fan]

I was about to say they're still on Amazon but not the GW site.  I keep looking at the little macro cannon that comes with the AT templates, what could you do with that?

[Sherrypie]

Cheers, Mandragola!

 

Hmm, macro cannons and others might do just as well on these engines. I'm probably going to use the AI ork guns on the next Warbringer, as they are just grungier in general compared to the somewhat boring imperial flak batteries. Those are nice for other purposes though, like on board objectives and scenery.

[schoon]

Excellent work! The head you chose looks far better (IMO) than the stock one.

 

Really nice weathering and NMM!

[Sherrypie]

Thanks schoon! The alternative Warlord head speaks to me, it looks more in tune with the Warbringer design than the default head which is a bit strange but hey ho.
