I've been mucking about on a ton of different miniatures to keep my interest up, plus sometimes you have to stop fiddling with something so the putty has time to harden. The weather is starting to improve, I might be able to toss on a few coats of paint sometime soon, perhaps that'll improve my outlook on the project. Just for the fun of it and for the constant motivation and feedback, I'm going to make you a miniature in my EC, what do you want to be in? I've got space in. . . Aethon-One and Aethon-Two Tactical. Also holy damn it, I see mold lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Dallo Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Glad I could help. Thanks for the offer. It's a nice feeling when people make models of you. A standard bolter kook would be awesome. I'm curious to see your take on a "regular" grunt. By the way, once he's painted, I expect to see some yellow and blue on him. Now that Book 6 is out, have you heard anything more on the new EC Rite of War? Got any lists planned? Either for modelling or for gaming? Congratulations on reaching the second page. Keep up the good work. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't suck, but I owe her food since she won. @kobrakai, That pose came to me after a really bad day of dealing with drunk people. I plopped down with a pile of bits and Chinese take out, after super gluing a pair of chop sticks to the table ( better the table than the Norwegian Forest cat. . . you ever chase after a cat because its tail decided to become best friends with a fresh super glued Juan Diaz Daemonette? I love that cat, but they don't make pewters like that any more.) Glad you like it. @hushrong, You're telling me, I'm saving up to buy more Kakophoni and Palantine Blade squads simply because the sculpts are amazing. @jimbo13, I'm trying. If I let my miniature building ADHD go and bounce around from squad to squad ( the miniatures behind the one being detailed gives credence to the madness ), my attention never really falters. Thank you, I appreciate it. @Psycho, I only have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off this month, those days are my best bet to get paint on anything since my usual shift starts at 1800 and ends at 0600 if I'm lucky enough to dodge writing an incident report, by the time I get home the weather is piss poor and all I want between those two days off is to drink Hibiki until the world makes sense, pretend that the world doesn't exist while I build plastic dude mans and binge watch Criminal Minds. So Tuesday if I'm lucky. @Dallo, Thank you. Yellow and Blue can be done, just gotta figure out where I'll place it. As for Book 6, I haven't really heard a thing, let alone gone off to find at any leaks that inevitably begin to pop up once something new arrives. I'm hoping for a deeper decent into Sonic weaponry as it looks like I'm steering my Emperor's Children into the later stages of 30k and into The Scouring. The one game I did play ( RoW: Maru Skara - The Hidden Blade ) allowed me to secure border objectives, the central objective and the mission went her way though. After that game, I kind of want to make Emperor's Children Destroyers. Also, mold lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I would love to see some III Legio destroyers. I have plans and been collecting bits to make a moritat who is drawing his last breaths from serving as a destroyer for so many years.

Lord Commander Eidolon Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Sergeant Haemon Kora is truly impressive, I was pondering the use of that sword recently but figured my own EC's were a little too pre-heresy for such things. I may now reconsider.... It's almost a shame the sonic weapons hide so much of the Kakophoni's body... I've got those third party heads, as I was going to rehash my 40k ECs. I do like how you've used them, particularly with the DV chosen. Are you going to have a bash at destroyers? I'm keen to try out the black scheme, but i've got too many veterans and tacticals to get through!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dallo Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'll be honest, I've never been a fan of models holding both a bolter and a bolt pistol. It normally looks pretty unbalanced but I'm liking what you've done with Dallo. Perhaps you could consider removing the magazine from the bolter? It justifies the bolt pistol, and goes with the fluff segment quite nicely. Timeline wise, are you aiming for any particular point in the heresy? The earliest that EC would acquire Mk VII and the Godwyn bolter would be during the siege of Terra, by stealing it from the defenders. That would certainly justify you painting the head yellow, to denote that the helm used to belong to an Imperial Fist. Just a thought. I have to stop to comment on the base. It's great. What parts did you use? Keep up the good work. Dallo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obscura Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 @kobrakei, Suggestions of purple beneath a heavy layer of black with faded bronze to gold trim on the details would make for some amazing Destroyers. If I were to build them, I'd magnetize the Jump Packs so as to allow for both options. The game I played made a good display for Destroyers in a Rhino, especially when they're armed with two rad missile launchers. @hushrong, Oh, I'm looking forward to seeing how you build your EC Moritat. Tempted to build one now. . . @Eidolon, I think a squad of ten Destroyers would provide a nice contrast to the Purple, Gold and Ivory I have planned for my EC. You should definitely use that sword. I'll eventually have a fluffy explanation as to why Haemon has a Plaguebearers decapitated head lanced through by his blade. @Dallo, Good idea, I'll pop that magazine off and if I do it properly I'll be able to use the cast off on the base. Timeline wise, I'm aiming for the Siege of Terra, which would explain why their armor is mutated and or modified to such an extreme. Good catch on Mk VII and the Godwyn bolter, I'll definitely go with looted weaponry and armor, it wasn't shown but the right arm was taken from a Blood Angel, even has the blood drop on the forearm. Brother Dallo must have a little Deffskull in him because he's looting everything. I'm basing all of them on the 32mm bases, the initial build up is sculpted putty to look like torn concrete, on top of that a left over piece from a Valkyrie that a friend had left over since he picked up a Forgeworld resin kit that removed the need for that plastic bit and the ladder is from the Baneblade kit, the gaming club that I'm a part of has a communal bits box that I scrounge around in from time to time, I usually leave behind bits as well as I do my best to leave a piece behind for every piece I take. I appreciate the comments everyone. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there when he lost his arm against the Katara, a noble race brought low by their own hand, better to die free then live on in slavery. In this he carries the Kataran blade that took his arm, in seclusion he would joke with me that if he held the weapons that wounded him, then no other upon the battlefield would be able to lay him low.
