Tenshi Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I'm opening a new thread to post my WIP miniatures for ETLII. Here's what I'll be bowing to begin with. http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/bow1.jpg There's Seraphicus (125pts) plus a 5 man DW squad. I'm not 100% sure about the 2 minis on the back. I might change the lightning claws for thunder hammers and/or the legs. Also, I'd like one of the boys with TH/SS to have a Cyclone Missile Launcher. Any advices? Once I'm decided on the loadout I'll make my first bow. Also, do these Shoulder Pads have any meaning in particular? Or can I use them in any DW? http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/shoulderpads.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TA]Typher Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 you can use them on any DW term. They represent the Lions broken sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The one on the right is/was Belials personal heraldy from his time as Captain of the 3rd. Black with red stripe. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbenner Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I never knew that, Grotsmasha - kind of cool I guess. I've got them on some of my Characters - Bone White Pauldron with a Green Stripe for my Librarian - Haven't painted any sarges with them on. Best, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenshi Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 @Grotsmasha: Cool! In that case, I'll keep that for Belial's Command Squad. Thanks! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenshi Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Part of the bow done: http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/seraphicus.png I might touch up a little the DA symbol on the cape, but other that that I'd say it's finished. I'm really happy with how it turned out. And best of all, it didn't take me forever to finish it. They're mobile photos, so not very good. The termies aren't even primed yet. I hope to finish the prep work during the week and be able to start painting some of them this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenshi Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 WIP Update: This is what I've been able to do this weekend. The first termie is almost finished, I believe. It's the first Deathwing I've ever painted. As you can see on the background the others not so much. http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/deathwing.png Also, I'd like to share something with all of you. While not part of my ETL vow, they're the reason I decided to join: http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/photo.jpg http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/photo2.jpg I was a 2nd Edition player that came back recently. And these are the first marines (an minis) I've painted in years. Still not finished, but they were getting harder and harder to finish. I believe I was burnt out... trying to paint 20 minis at once was too much. So I hope to have fun painting for the ETL and then come back to finish these with new energy. And this time, 5 a time.

Tenshi Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Thanks everyone. @Isiah: It's my homemade photo stage. Actually, I did it on a lunch break at work, but don't tell anyone. I'm basing my DA with a Aliens-like (1986) theme with a mix of bases from Secret Weapon (great company, btw). And I wanted a background that matched the bases for the photos. I just googled for some sci-fi videogame textures and created a compo in Photoshop. Added some acid-drop holes from an Alien (1979) still to the ground, some SM recruitment posters and an Imperial Aquile to the wall and presto! They're a pair of printed A4 papers glued to 5mm foam core boards and cut to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The squad looks great, I really like the use of the bionics, seems appropriate given the alien style theme acid for blood an all. So the background is just card, I thought those lights in the background were actually real. Great Stuff! DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenshi Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 A small update, I believe I'll finish my first vow this weekend but yesterday I got my order from FW, and I'd like to show my future Belial http://back2hobby.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/belial.png As a lot of people, I don't like much the Belial mini, so I wanted to build my own. My first idea was to use the DW Knights box to build it, then I decided to give him a Cataphractii armor to make him stand out. And before I made my order I saw the FW Legion Praetors preview... gorgeous minis, I wanted them. So I decided to wait until they were released I don't know if I'll vow it for the ETL, as it's an important mini and I'd like to take my time with it, both with the conversion and the painting. I plan to magnetize it, so if I end up vowing it, it'll be with TH+SS (to scrap a few extra points ) Edit: no more bows, just vows :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenshi Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Been working on my termies. Just need to do some touch ups on the sergeant's shield and feathers and I'll have my vow (stobz ) finished. I've found the first two DAs I ever painted (a couple millenia ago), here they are: http://bytenshi.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/legacydas.png They look horrible I was really young when my fathers bought me the 2nd Ed Boxset. I painted them as BAs because thats how they came painted on the box. I bought the Angels of Death Codex for the BAs, but after reading the DAs fluff and looking at Azri's mini I fell in love with the DAs. Azrael was the first DA I ever painted (and like the 4th~5th mini), he's side by side with the first mini I painted when I came back to the hobby at the end of last year. The old minis look so small compared to the new ones I couldn't believe Azrael still had the same mini! He looks so unepic now... I was looking for the watcher in the dark through my old minis to use it and convert a new Azrael, but I've only found Azrael. I've bought the standard bearer because the sculpted standard looked cool. Then I realized he was also from the old minis, so he's going to look shorter than the rest of the CS. Well, I'll try to distract the attention a little so it isn't very noticeable. It's one of the first Finecast minis I buy. I was a little scared after all the horror stories I've read about finecast, but they were pretty fine, wait for it-- casted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother dean Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Get a bit of cork board and make a stone base to put the shorter minis on. It'll make up for the difference in size.... http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w20/fred40k2002/Deathwing/DSCN9694.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarFromSam Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Fifth company! Love it keep it up and take lots of pics of the future Belial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
