Khrangar Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Raven Templars! Not bad, it's interesting to see so man beakies on non-raven guard models. I think the metals could do with an inking though, black for the silver and brown/flesh for the gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lothlorienmoon Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 It all looks like a great foundation to start from. You've got nice, clean colors and they all look relatively thin, no blobs/drips that I can see. Just work on highlighting (black is tricky to highlight, same for red) and adding depth. Inks are a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronos Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 They look good. But I have to point this out. The commander's banner...a red background, with a black emblem in a white square..... http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c178/Chronos1023/swastika.gif Sorry if that offends anybody. I do not believe or stand for anything like that. But, I just felt obliged to alert everyone's atention to that. But seriously...the models are looking good. Just need something to break up all of the monotone colors, some highlighting and shading would make them look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Very good basis; keep up the good work ;) As for the colourscheme; it's not offensive in any way. If anything, it's reminiscent of John Blanche's work... I would like to suggest a slight repose of the Stormshield on your Marshal though. It should be parallel to his arm, not perpendicular to it; it looks a bit awkward like this right now. he's just holding it in his hand, while a shield would be most effective strapped to the arm. Other than that, take some highlighting to them as mentioned and you're set. Keep it up! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penitent Dreadnought Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Seconded, it's a red flag with a black and white symbol. Nothing more (though Anabis Xero's Marines would probably give life and limb to retrieve it if lost). I would like to suggest a slight repose of the Stormshield on your Marshal though. It should be parallel to his arm, not perpendicular to it; it looks a bit awkward like this right now. he's just holding it in his hand, while a shield would be most effective strapped to the arm. Not if he wants to punch someone in the face with it, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Not if he wants to punch someone in the face with it, eh? True, but it just looks too 'International Karate III' to me (that's one very old computer game, for those not in the know...) *blong*, *blong* ;) What's wrong with backhanding somebody with a shield anyway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penitent Dreadnought Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I guess it all depends on how little the Marine cares for the adversary, that he's not really going to bother getting his sword dirty... On closer inspection of the shield, I don't like the use of the vehicle-mount grips. The shield is made from an old Rhino door, there ought to be handle gubbins lying around too, methinks. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMan Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Not if he wants to punch someone in the face with it, eh? What's wrong with backhanding somebody with a shield anyway :blink: Why not just go right ahead and Bitch-Slap him then, I think that would be a very Space Marine thing to do, don't you? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatMan Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Actually what I dont quite get is why he has a shield instead of blowing basketball sized holes in people with a Bolter. Whats he thinking? Example- "No bretheren, today we will not deliver wrath upon the Emperors enemys with the cleansing shell of a Bolter but rather with a mighty shield that we The Adeptus Astrates will deliver with a cunning blow to their nuts." :P Laters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penitent Dreadnought Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 we the Adeptus Astrates will deliver with a cunning blow to their nuts." That does seem so much more dastardly and menacing than simply killing them outright with a bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvest Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Ok, appearenlty I'm the only one who likes the shield? It looks like a an armoured Riot shield, and I like it. Also i fancy the Beak helmets alot :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i fancy the Beak helmets alot :P thank you, lol the big riot shield adds individuality to the army as well do the beaky heads. if i needed to i can alsoas add a bolter to his leg in a holster =) plus his command squad once i get it goin should havd adiquate fire power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Moc Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I just see a lot of black Primer.... :P maybe u could improve the look of the details... ad some washes on the metalcolors, and pls try to add deep to the black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolter Witch Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I like the shield. One handle in the middle of a large rectangular shield was how the Roman Legions did it for several centuries. Looks good. Maybe try adding a white Templar cross in the middle of the shield face? Looks like a good start, though. Check my sig for a group you might be interested in.

Anabis_Xero Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 ya i want to add a cross but im not to good at freehanding stuff yet. andi need to hilight the black but im not all to confident in my skills and at the moment still lack the nessissary shades of greys and blacks to do it. i also dont have the right washes to ink the golds and silvers at the moment.
