Sternguard won and will be next after my ironclad dreadnaught! [April 23th, 2010] added a picture my finished ironclad-dreadnaught! (post #69) [April 29th, 2010] work at my sternguard has started (post #74) [May 12th, 2010] I decided to name my chapter "knights of icarus/ the icarus crusade", their symbol is a white sword on orange ground. At the moment i am working at 4 razorbacks at once - i decided to do the sternguard later, sorry guys, i hope you understand my decision. i want to do the essentials first! at the moment i am working at: 4 razorbacks these things will be done in future: landraider crusader 1 droppod 2+ landspeeder terminators 2-3 tactical squads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newtype Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The orange and white works realy well together. Did did you do a brown wash over it to pickup the creases? A full squad done that way will look great. Though I have to ask if you have given any thought to how you are going to do the Company colour?

trautz Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 i used a white spray to do the first foundation after it i painted orange parts with macharius solar orange then badab black over the whole miniature, but then i had to repair the orange and nearly almost painted the whole miniature again with this orange, leaving the darkened orange in lower areas.. white was fixed with several layers of brigth grey and white. i think next time i will not use badab black and paint shadows and highlights the old way, maybe the orange "shines" more then.. edit: the "dark orange" at the trim of the shoulderpads is mixed macharius solar orange and calthan brown about 1:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperhavens Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Looks great, good smooth finish on this guy. Maybe some Tiger Stripes or a Home Depot Logo. Whats the chapter called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Looks good, but I'm not so sure about the weapons also being white. They could probably stand to be a different color, maybe something subdued like a brown or black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherAtrox Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Orange is the greatest color ever. I've been working on a DIY chapter that uses it. Hope to have that published soon. It's such a rare color too. No idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Looks like we have one more for the Cult of Orange. I like the choice of the blue for the eye visors. Have you thought about building the white up from a blue or using a blue glaze to shade it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trautz Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 @ sniperhavens: thank you! i have no chaptername yet, but i think it will be anything with "swords" or "knights", because they will get a sword as chaptersymbol @ cardinal virtue: i think i will try black weapons soon, but the other white stuff will also be white in future (knee,head,shoulder) @ brother atrox: yes orange rocks :-), i hope to see your chapter soon @ kurgan: oh i really feel honoured to join cult of orange! i will tell you my chapters name, when i found one @ all: your suggestions for a chaptername are welcome! some ideas: magma, phoenix, ember, knights of.., blades of..

sniperhavens Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Blazing Knights Knights of Brightsun Ember Blades Bright Blades Cant go wrong with a Chapter that has sponsorship, Knights of Home Depot.

CosmicCreations Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I really like it, although I seem to think of Tic Tacs when I see him :( I also like sniperhavens idea of 'ember blades', definately think Ember should be in there somewhere :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trautz Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 i have 2 ideas, what do you guys prefer? a ) knights of eternal ember b ) knights of eternal dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperhavens Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Eternal Knights of Ember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irabrai Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Knights of the Eternal Dawn is my favorite, Tho if you decide to have Vulkan in your army and equip them with lots of flamers, The Knights of Eternal Ember Love the models they look brilliant.

trautz Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 @ irabrai: my fav at the moment is knights of eternal dawn too, because i think the other name (knights of eternal ember) would nearly force me to use many flamers etc., because everyone would expect so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicana Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 On the name, I'd go with 'The Eternal Dawn' or 'The Eternal Ember', because no other can match their superiority. I'd, perhaps, try 2:1 Orange:Yellow, or even Orange:Gold, slightly thinned with Water, just as an experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tybrus Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 The Order of Safety Vestments The Warning Cones Cal-Trans Warriors Union Bio-Hazard Responce Team 1 Off the top of my head... But really, The painting is insane good. Orange is so hard to paint smooth, its like yellow. Anyway great paint job, and GL on the Name. I'm with the guy who says all he see's is Home Depote, but who cares there are not my marines! Great work, can't wait to see more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominion Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I was thinking, wouldn't you get closer to the orange in the pic if you get the marine done all in yellow then do thin multiple washes of blazing orange till it gets to the vibrant orange you may be aiming for? As for names I would suggest -Sons of Sol -Dawn Wardens That's all the gold i can give you :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazardousZERO Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 For a chapter name maybe the inmates? & off topic BROTHER BLOODHOWL its the same in my store rockets always hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hey! I had that idea too ! :blink: Looks good, I like it. I actually never got round to paint a model in this colour scheme. Nice to see it done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
