Emperors Children As a self proclaimed expert in excess, here begins my Emperor's Children! (Painted pics.)

[Prot]

 Since I've been around the Chaos block so many times since I started playing 40K, I've only truly indulged in EC once. Many, many years ago. If I can find some old pics, I'll show them to you but trust me, they're bad. It's from back when the only 'unique' pieces were all metal.

 

The reason I liked EC is not the same weird, twisted stuff that a lot of people like. For me it was the pursuit of perfection. Often falling short of this in life, I feel like as people we can be enslaved to lofty ideals. So I can relate to EC, even Lucius whom maybe embodies this the most for me.

 

Enough babble, I quickly wanted to start work on base units I may have in collection and hit the ground running.

 

I finished these Rhino's last night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have my concerns about the codex. But the overall theme is something I really want to try since it's such a unique look and Chaos really doesn't get 'new' stuff very often. Hopefully I can stick this out.

They look very slick with that pink & turquoise scheme. Sadly the vintage Rhino kit does not have enough hard points to attach a lot of options onto the vehicle. So further wargear looks like it has been bolted on.

Nice display picture...

 

Good luck with the project. The blue looks good against the purple

When I first saw the thread and avatar, I thought is was Marshal Loss - I feel like I've stepped into the above meme.   I think you guys need to play a game of 40K to determine who needs to change their avatar.  

 

Nice to see you putting on the pink - look forward to seeing more of your stuff.  Surprised you went with chaos rather than slannesh symbols on the top - is it because you had templates for the one and not the other?

 

As well, you should put the "Emperor's Children" tag on it to ensure it gets moved when the EC get their own forum.

I've been using it for not far off 4 years now and based my scheme around it - so there's no chance that I'll be changing.

Holy hell, Brother Prot, I know you're efficient, but I saw the title and I was like "Dang, EC aren't even out yet, they're still in pre-order!"

OH gees... sorry guys. I'll change my avatar. lol  Can't believe that. I DEFINITELY should have know better. 

 

I am hoping this project goes the distance. I am going to start a different thread to bounce some stuff off you guys based on the codex.... Hopefully I can add a few more things to this thread before the box set comes out.

Sure, I (and I'm sure others as well) are happy to help.  That said, my contributions are likely to only be theory based and artistic - knowing the differences in our painting speeds and gaming frequency, its almost certain you'll be getting in games with your EC before I do.  Don't know if its helpful, but you can see some of my preliminary thoughts here.

 

To that, I would add that I'm not sure why GW thinks demonettes are worth 12 points a model - I don't think I would want to field them at any more than 8.  Seekers seem a better deal at 18 points a model (or 9 points a wound), though that's obviously less so if you face a lot of D2 weapons (I don't).  That said, I suspect the demon ally detachment will be let down by the demon units and their somewhat inflationary point costs.

 

Thanks for swapping avatars - it really makes it easier for me.   I'll be adding the EC tag to your thread, BTW - you can always remove it if it becomes inappropriate.

Oh boy, Prot is painting EC. This is gonna be good.
