Grotsmasha Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 So my time here on the B&C has been spent mostly flitting from one model to another, never really with a real army project on the go, that changes now. I've decided to go for a HH Era DA force, with the idea that the Great Company/Chapter uses the iconography that will one day become the GotC. So this means (eventually) EVERY legionnaire will feature the crossed swords on their right pad in some shape or form, I'll also be doing red robes. I also intend on a mkII army with officers in mkIII. Alrighty, enough babble, PICTURES, right?!?!?!? For those who haven't seen, a 3rd party sculpt of The Lion I painted for last years LPC, Obligitory Scale pic Next up is my Legion Praetor, who will be February's PtR vow, http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0939_zpsaacb5c95.jpg and his Command Squad, January's PtR vow, http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0933_zpsa81f97f0.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0934_zps205c13df.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0936_zps4e545450.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0937_zps5cb9c358.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0935_zps35a44d80.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/Heresy%20Era%20Dark%20Angels/IMAG0938_zps1053208a.jpg So, the summer rains are here, which has delayed the priming (yes, I've gotten lazy and avoid hand priming like the plague) for over a week, first piece o'sunshine and i'll get cracking. OK, so now my usual disclaimer, I have, what I call Hobby ADD, which means all of my projects suffer from a rollercoaster of productivity and inaction, although I fear the most prohibitive force for this project will be actually affording the "plastic crack habit", cheap FW isn't. Any comments and constructive criticism welcome. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Those are some really cool looking marines. Where are their shoulder pads? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Lookin' good - makes me want to do some more HH DA myself (don't let Captain Semper know - he will just nag me!) http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/4.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 @ Augustus: I've left them off because its much easier to paint/prime the models back behind the powerpack, the pads will be primed at the same time and attached once black.

Cactus Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Mk II armour? Check. Surplices? Check. Unnecessary ornamentation? Check. The command squad looks perfect to me. :tu: I like the way you made the crossed swords on the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanhausen Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I like the robes and those plasma pistols are looking good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Red robes... hmmmmmmm - ok it works well with these and the firing plasma pistol and the winged helms look great. Is it just me or are the rh shoulder pads missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 @ Crusader_Weber: Thanks!! @ Tiger9gamer: Thats ok, I didnt think they'd match everyones taste. I don't even know if I'll keep doing them, they were a pain to fit consistantly. @ Cactus: Those crossed swords were a bastard to get, and they're still a little wonky, but I am quite happy with the finished item. @ Tanhausen: Cheers!!! @ Elmo: Yep, they're missing. The problem is I can't decide on what to do with them. I've used GWs DA chapter pads, which dont match the mkIII pads I have left over, but I'm not sure I want to put mk VII pads on either. I may just wait til FW releases DA legion pads and pull of the GW ones. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
