schoon Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Looks great. The green and off-white are solid color choices and you've executed it well. Looking forward to seeing more. Have you done custom Legio Traits for them yet?

ToyShip Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks! Not yet, I’m waiting on Defence of Ryza to arrive before I make any final decisions. Working out my background ideas to make sure the traits make sense. Should be finished painting this guy this weekend, hopefully I can settle on that stuff in the meantime.

Mandragola Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I like the scheme a lot. One suggestion is to do a bit of work on raised feet like this. I think it looks a lot better if you change the toes so they're pointed down. Not essential, and maybe a little late on this one, but possibly something to bear in mind for future.

ToyShip Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 I can see what you mean! Give it a bit more motion and realism. I have three more ‘Hounds to go, I will definitely put more work into the toes on them! Thank you for the suggestion!

General Zodd Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just echoing what others have said, that’s a really effective colour scheme, and nicely executed! I particularly like the green-tinted white next to the metal trim. Is that a brassy colour on the trim? Or is that a trick of the light? Either way it looks really nice!

This article will be of interest to for you while you wait for the book to arrive... Awesome! Thank you! I’ll read that! The book arrived too, so it’s decision time! Also the “Starter Set” showed up so I have 3 Wrahounds and 2 Reavers to paint in the near future. Just echoing what others have said, that’s a really effective colour scheme, and nicely executed! I particularly like the green-tinted white next to the metal trim. Is that a brassy colour on the trim? Or is that a trick of the light? Either way it looks really nice! Thanks! It’s Scale 75 Decayed Metal washed with Biel Tan Green. Simple and effective! The White is Deepkin Flesh. Nice greenish off-white. In other news I am mostly done with the first Warhound, sans base and decals. I’ll be doing those when I have at least one more Warhound done. Thanks for the comments guys! I appreciate the motivation. depthcharge12 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366186-legio-ensis-the-%E2%80%9Cvorpal-swords%E2%80%9D/#findComment-5593510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zodd Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Lovely, I’m also assuming the Princeps of this Legio keep Snicker Snacks handy to keep them going in battle? ..........

ToyShip Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 They’ve been known to be brillig and frumious as well General Zodd and Doctor Perils 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366186-legio-ensis-the-%E2%80%9Cvorpal-swords%E2%80%9D/#findComment-5593653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Instar-Nine Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 They look great, I love the complimentary shades of green. The glow effect works well too. Have you decided on Legio heraldry?
