Ciler Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 Another biker, before I put those aside and get started on my knightfall vow. The head is provisional until I find a proper skull helm (i'm trying to bum a reiver one from one of my FLGS mates). I also have to add round bits to the ankles and studs to the shoulder pads to make it a Mk VIII plate. http://reho.st/self/e0a40168e26352f2234facdcde2d772962a5554f.jpg Does the bike need more bling ? I also notice looking at it that I forgot the rosarius... again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 From what I can see, other than the Rosarius, I think you got a winner :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metic Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Does the bike need more bling ? I also notice looking at it that I forgot the rosarius... That's okay brother, so did Grimaldus. Must be the mark of a good chaplain. ;D I think he looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Raven fully assembled : http://reho.st/self/69be862010e4d26f613d416fd952e0e410cd6c16.jpg All weapons are magnetised, but I have somehow lost the front missile launcher thingy bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how do you fail basic calculus as a Templar and end up manning a long range weapon ? By successfully shooting 11 orcs with a 10 round ammo clip.

Brother Christopher Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 EDIT: Wrong thread, sorry! Here, I can only congratulate you on completing a great Raven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's not completed, actually, still requires highlights on the black ; and shading (recesses only) and highlights on the white. It is perfectly tabletop worthy though, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciler Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 SO, completed Knightfall vow : http://reho.st/self/b690f347b437c95350bbda0bcd3b89dee8f6e99b.jpg And also the full terminator squad : http://reho.st/self/0ec3edb33da55ecd60dbf2cb03dfec81259504cd.jpg The shields are from Forge World, the swords from grey knight terminators, 5 models are actually Dark Angel Knights with most of the iconography filed off, the others are standard assault terminators converted with tabards from the BT upgrade kit converted as per this tutorial.

SydonianDragoon404 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 How did you get those lines so clean on the Raven? Tape and an airbrush? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 GW sprays, actually, I do not own an airbrush. But otherwise yes, spray black, tape, spray white. On my original Raven, I did white first then black but the problem with that is mistakes are much harder to correct because the spray white isn't actually near any shade of brush on white. Also the cockpit was sprayed white separately. It had to be painted before final assembly in order to get the pilot painted inside and the clear plastic added at the last minute.

Firepower Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Purple power weapons, eh? :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yep. My regular power swords are a traditional blue, so those are purple to make sure there's no confusion and that those are indeed gravitational blades that hit like, say, a hammer. And then for the sake of consistency, I had to do the claws purple as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 So, I have secured a better head for my chaplain and a mate gave me some micro-beads so I was able to complete the studs on the shoulder pads of the Mk 8 armour, what do ye think ? http://reho.st/self/74832751ba60c6cb4d39a5e8ba6499a775c3dc16.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkCrusader93 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I love the theme of your army brother, especially your cypher conversion he looks awesome i was thinking of doing something similar for myself and your biker chaplain is cool nice to see someone else who as made their own I'm a bit jealous of your terminators i don't personally like the space marine terminators they always look too static but puttiing tabards on them really makes them look awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thank you for your praise. Those terminators are not hard to build, give them a try yourself ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 So, I did a bit of painting ! I do not regret putting in the extra money to have one in the character colours and one in the traditionnal BT colours. Both are metal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Good job on both models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Agree, very nicely painted. Since my Grimaldus is and EC are kitbashes, I feel inclined to do the same for Helbrecht. Not sure how I would paint him yet, so thanx for the "variation on a theme". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkCrusader93 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 both versions of the High Marshal look awesome Brother really well done think i prefer the black Armour more but then again I'm biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I've never really liked or understood the decision by GW to paint him bronze in the first place. Black is the way to be :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I just wish the sword wasn't so naff on the model. Great painting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The sword is the most "Break me!" model piece I can think of, whether in blessed pewter or heretical finecast. There's good reason I (sloppily) magnetized Ludoldus's. An unfortunate flap of a gnat's wings or errant fart will snap that thing right off. By the by, why is Helbrecht #2 wearing platform shoes?

Ciler Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 By the by, why is Helbrecht #2 wearing platform shoes?Funny enough, both bases are actually the same (i.e. a 25mm base stuck on a 32mm base), because both metal models came with the old fashioned slotted base and I didn't feel like destroying my hobby clippers removing the metal bar under the model. Also, it's a clever way to upsize the model a bit on the table. I could paint the top of #2 as I did #1, it does look a bit silly now that you point it out. Edit : and the sword is magnetised also, you will note it is the same on both models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
