The Ginger Avenger Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Okay, here is the starting point for my ETL vow, which is also two out of three units for my Crusade Expansion vow. I'll post pictures of my completed Initiates later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Avenger Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Okay, I've finally finished my challenge vows and taken the pictures. Initiates Terminators Emperor's Champion That brings me up to my first 1000 points - HUZZAH! I'll get around to posting images of the rest in the next few days...

Honda Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sweet looking EC. What by chance did you construct him from? And way to go on your first vow. A 1000 points is an amazing accomplishment. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Avenger Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Heh, my vow wasn't 1000 points, I just used the challenge as an excuse to pull my finger out and actually finish a game worthy army. I've been collecting, on and off, for about 13 years and never managed to get more than a couple of hundred points finished. I have so many unbuilt / unpainted minis it's unreal. As for what I made the EC from, the body and legs are Forge World Mk III (I think) pieces, the head is from a Grey Knights terminator. The bolt pistol is from the standard assault marines set while the left arm is from a space marine power sword arm, the backpack is also a standard space marine one. The laurel wreath on the head is from the terminators box set and the tabard was my first attempt at green-stuff. The right arm is the most complicated piece. I took the hand from the assault marine power sword, the arm from the power axe and the sword is from an empire general from WHFB. The shoulder pads are both from the space marine commander set...

Arthanor Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nice army! The gold on the marshal makes him stand out well. And he looks :tu: ANGRY! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Avenger Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Thanks Arthanor! Ironic that it was the Marshal you commented on, since I'm here to post the "before" shot of his replacement for my second ETL vow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthanor Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well, I guess you have an angry castellan now :) I'm looking forward to seeing what this new guy will look like. Good luck on your vow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Avenger Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 looks like the FW decal sheet FW decal sheet? That's cheating! Okay, okay, you caught me... Arthanor, I'm looking forward to seeing him too. I can see it in my head, and I think I'm gonna enjoy watching him take shape... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Isenhar Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yeah the gold really makes the Marshal stand out.. I think i will steal your idea :P Also I really like the cross on the Rhino top , I going to have to try that as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthanor Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Looking good! Skull backpack exaust are a very nice touch! Did you use the command squad champion's chest piece? The templar cross on there is well done. Green stuff? Pose wise, he looks like he's falling backwards (mostly in the first picture), do you have something in mind for that?

The templar cross on there is well done. Green stuff? Pose wise, he looks like he's falling backwards (mostly in the first picture), do you have something in mind for that? The chest piece is indeed the command squad champion's. As for the templar cross, I wish my green stuff skills were that good. No, I simply snipped the cross off a spare holy orb of antioch and filed the back down, as well as filing the small shield on the chest piece so they sat more or less flush. The skulls were taken from the old (1999, I think) skeleton warriors regiment box set for WHFB. Regarding the pose, I actually hadn't noticed that. I'll need to fix that, thanks for the catch...!

Arthanor Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ah, that makes sense. Job well done, the chest looks good and templary! I keep earing about those old skeleton warriors.. They make backpack exaust vents, they make chaplain helmets... I need to find a TARDIS and get myself a box of those (or maybe second hand might be easier ^_^ ).

The Ginger Avenger Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 They were an absolutely fantastic set. Brilliant for Legion of the Damned conversions as well. On another note, I meant to say above that the weapons for Marshal v.2 are all going to be magnetised so I also have a storm bolter, combi-melta, bolt pistol and plasma pistol for his right hand and a chain-sword, chain-sword with bionic arm, power sword and lightning claw for the left. If anybody wants to see any of these combination, just let me know and I'll post pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Avenger Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I couldn't resist putting up a pic of him with power sword and plasma pistol. I also fixed the issue Arthanor pointed out, with him leaning back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthanor Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Nicely done! The pose looks like "I'm open, come try me if you dare" :lol: Blue plasma/power weapon effects are the best color for BT I htink. We use so little blue that it stands out a lot as an accent and balances the color scheme very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Avenger Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Figured I needed some more fire power for my crusade, so here's my Predator. The side sponsons are magnetised so I can add more las-cannons when I pick up more sponson mounts from a bitz store, but in the meantime I wanted to go for versatility...
