feuer_faust Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Basically, I registered my Captain of the Marches for the Mesdusa V campaign. He's a bit plain (you might've seen him; the jump-pack guys with the gold shoulderpad), so it's about tiem for a promotion. He'll go from: +Captain -Jump Pack, Frags, Combat Shield -Bolt Pistol, power sword to +Master (plus term honours); Or Captain (plus term honours) in games under 1500. -Jump pack, frags, artificier armour, combat shield -Plasma Pistol, power sword (I was tempted to do a fist, but in 2000 point game I'll just run a chappie with a fist as a back-up) I'll get a digi cam and post pics of his current form tonight, then start taking pics of WIP's on the new model and concept art. Hopefully I'll post once a day or so until he's done (hopefully by july 5. I have a few other projects for payign clients so it'll be a mad rush).

feuer_faust Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Here's a small update: the current model for Captain Viktor Salvador. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/captain_viktor_salvador.jpg Nothing too flashy aside form a nice gold effect. I have the pieces I need, and I'm bad at sketching, so I'll update tomorrow with the bare plastic for the next version. I think I might even do some GS for details and extra armour plating for Artificier Armour. oooh! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90476-medusa-v-character-blog/#findComment-1041139 Share on other sites More sharing options...

feuer_faust Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Here's a good tip: When you want to include someone's words in your post, type QUOTE inside a pair of these []. Afterwards, do /QUOTE in another pair of these []. Like so. There's a button that looks like a speech box, too. ... That aside, welcome to the BnC and thanks! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90476-medusa-v-character-blog/#findComment-1041144 Share on other sites More sharing options...

feuer_faust Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well, here's some of the new model, minus the jump pack. I added a lil sword to his side to even out the bits; it's a trophy of sorts. Working on the story for that. The chest piece, shower pad, and sword are from the Deimos Campaign, when Captain Viktor of the Storm Bringers and Castellan Arval the Pious of the Black Templars led a combined assault on the Ruinuos Forces entrenched in the city of Maal's Reach. They won the battle after a brutal eight-day seige, however most of Viktor's armour was destroyed, along with his sword. In recognition of his insane courage and faith, he was presented with a reforged suit incorporating his original suit and the suit and sword of a long-fallen hero known as Vindicus the Savage. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/viktor_1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/viktor_2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/viktor_3.jpg Not sure on the jump pack yet; I wanna use the standard one, but add some trophies or honour markings.

feuer_faust Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Well, I can't decide on the jump pack so i've been just painting the body. However, i'm fairly sick of the dark blues and purples; it's really hard to show definition and highlights. ANy good ideas for a lighter colour befitting for a chapter called the Storm Bringers?

asmodai650 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I know it's still blue, but have you thought about something similar to the alaitoc eldar chapter? Also, what about a split color scheme? Maybe blue and yellow, or yellow and black. Either way, I would play around with the painter tool on GW's website.

feuer_faust Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well, here's how I figure it: The are blue armor with white details; officers have white rims for rank. This represents the serene sky. The blaze of their bolters and the lightning dances form their swords signifies the storm. eh? This is just the base for non-metalic colours (not counting the powersword). I need to clean soem black-lines and solidify some colors, but overall this is the loook. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/viktor_c1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/viktor_c2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/feuerfaust/Storm%20Bringers/viktor_c3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90476-medusa-v-character-blog/#findComment-1042622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
