Reyner Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Those Terminators are wonderful. I really like the more traditional wolverine style lightning claws and the jetbike is just awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Good evening all I’m glad your enjoying the updates slow as they might be as they may be. Iv got things prepped for the jet bike chasis for you all. Just need to get the appropriate lighting and time to knock it out as I finish the squad. Little update on the army. I’m not running pride though terminators and the soon to follow vets pics would suggest other wise. The claws on the terminators are very simple. Just Tartarus claws on cataphractti fists. Little bit of sculpting on the Sargent and making one of the bolter arms into mkIV. I am currently planning on finding some ways to get some roses worked into the heraldry of the legion higher ups. Those who have read some of the newer 40k literature on the Dark Angels will enjoy that nod. Hope all enjoy. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushrong Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The Dark Angels are coming along splendidly. And there's something about roses in the First Legion? And I don't know about it? You guys and your secrets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 It’s a tiny detail hushrong. Mentioned in the Azrael book. Roses are used to symbolise the emperor. So I will be working those into the heraldry. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Good to know! Are you looking at making your own roses or using existing bits? I know the Empire Wizard from WHFB had a scythe bit with a few. Some of the new ghosts for AoS have flowers too like the dreadscythes and Olynder.

The_Stray_Idea Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hushrong I have plans to make my own or freehand on there are some bits out there but realistically they are all quite large and may add a little too much bulk. I’ll give all options a crack and see what I prefer. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Cool deal! Looking forward to it! Your Heresy Era I Legion has been top notch with your modeling and conversion work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gang Zu Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Nice work on the servo armour guys! The new Heavy Bolter fits in perfectly, great idea. Hoping to see more soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Good evening guys. Thanks for the heavy bolter feed back. The rest of the vets are “finished” bar a small exhaust swap on 2 back backs. I did manage to get 2 hours chopping time in. Still struggling to get some solid hobby block time to hit the green stuff. One command squad ready to go. I will say mkiii is not an easy armour to repose with out creating a mountain of work for yourself. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Really nice poses on the shield bearers, again, the sword blades were well chosen for that European knightly feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Looking good and I do agree your DA give off a very knightly feel. The use of the SOS swords is also great! I honestly think they have some of the more appopriate looking swords in the 30k/40k range for the imperium. Only critiques is I see some mold lines that need to go on some of the mk3 helms and the standard bearers powering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Pearson73 thanks man. The sisters of silence box has a plethora of goodies in well worth having a look at. Hushrong I will openly admit I totally didn’t see those. They will be removed before paint is applied. Thanks for the catch. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gang Zu Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 WOOOW, the Command squad looks incredible!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 That Command Squad is great, love the bits used. What's this about roses? Better not be a red rose :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Renter the roses mentioned in the Azrael book are red. Given I will have green and blue hues through the black armour I can explore both red and purple as options for them. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Boo White Roses are the best roses is the Power Fist on the standard bearer from the 40k Dark Angels Chaplain by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Reyner yeah it’s off the chaplain. He’s Still very much in a bits planning stage. White roses were a consideration. Given it’s a detail to be done by hand I will probably tackle that on a marine by marine bases. So that it can compliment any other details that may be on each piece.

hushrong Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Every time I sit down and take a picture of something I worked on I always notice stuff I missed when I look over the pic. Every. Darn. Time. Looking forward to some paint and how you will do black. I also need to go pick up this Azrael book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 So bits planning went out the window faster than Magnus went through the seals that protected holy Terra. It’s rough and probably gives off a bit too much 40k to be to everyone’s tastes. I present the cobbled together Chaplain. In other news the vets who need no green stuff work done on them have had their armour primed so they may soon be deployed into the great crusade. Very WIP Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Nice start on the Chaplain, as you say, he does still look rather 'modern' for 30k, I really like the torso plate. Boo White Roses are the best roses Quoted for truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Skulled helm. under a hood, behind a raised gorget is awesome! Everything else is just extra gravy on that chaplain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Small update for you all. I have started chipping away at the paint on the vets. Must say it’s been a rewarding process this far. Getting some extra tones into a muted armour. Will definitely be affecting the free handing and test of the pallet more than I thought it would. Adapt and over come. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Stray_Idea Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Good evening all! Hobby time has been a bit spartan. Grabbing time as and when I can. Most of my focus has been trying to get the veteran test squad worked out. This has allowed me to play with some ideas that will transfer out to the rest of the army. Cheque freehand was a fun experience it’s sometbing I wouldn’t normally do. The reds are pulling the armour together nicely and bringing out the greens a bit more. Other things and I apologise for the pic is the marble symbols. This wasn’t done because they are vets but instead as a way to tie the infantry into armour that’s started to be constructed. I have attached a tease of what’s going into the first of the mighty battle tanks. I will openly admit getting side tracked and knocking together a mkvi seeker as a test piece. Was lacking shoulder pads with symbols at the time so please use your imaginations to fill in that blank. Stray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
