GreenScorpion Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Well, a banana peel would be the best way to get rid of that genestealer :) Nice work as usual. Etheneus and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etheneus Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks. Yeah I thought about it but thought it would be to hard to see. duz_ and GreenScorpion 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostromo Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I simply love your camo - and just all of what you did with those models. Modifications, paintjob, bases, idea,... And the little details that tell stories. The bananas are such a nice touch. And, because I just can’t keep my smart mouth shut, a piece of advice. I noticed on several of your (really, REALLY above average!) faces that the eyes often appear too wide open. I know, painting eyes is a hybrid of plague and cholera. A tiny amount of black wash might reduce that. Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etheneus Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thank you! And I will try that out. Zombie eyes for my undead Bretonnia army are much simpler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I really like your Regiment! The green and grey go really well and the ochre or yellow pops nicely. Great work all round. Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I love these guys' scheme. Very nice :tu:Also: What is all the yellow things?- BananasWhy?- In the Swedish Armed Forces most notably (but not exclusively) in the army we call our Mortar platoons Monkeys, and monkeys eat bananas. They never put their mortars to work before a box of bananas are deployed at the firing position.- Why do you call then that? (Isn't it offensive?) Frankly I'm not entirely sure if there is some elaborate reason but it's a long standing tradition and to serv as a mortar crew you can have about the lowest intelligence rating in the army. Monkey see, monkey do. Simple. Offensive? No, they embrace it, their "warcry" is making monkey sounds and beating their chest. So kind of like the United States' Marine Corps being known as "crayon eaters" because of the assumed lack of intelligence then? :lol: Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etheneus Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yes, exactly the crayon eater thing and I have served with lots of them because our platoons (I was recon) were in the same company so I know. For something new then. Three things done. Leman Russ Battle Tank with some options magnetised A new squad And my first scion which will translate to a Swedish Jägare (means hunter but think Ranger). A Tempestor Prime All of these are some of the last rescues I got hold of that were sprayed red. I have a inf squad,a 5 man scion squad and 10 crusaders left and then I'm out of model's. Need to purchase new... WarriorFish, 4CIN87, librisrouge and 10 others 13 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etheneus Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 So another squad complete. The sergeant will be the leader of the next squad I'll make (A platoon, third squad, called GA). Grenade launcher and female bionic grenade thrower to EB (B platoon, first squad), vox to FB, yellow glasses (based of a former squadmate whom always wore those) and scarface to EA, blondie and shaved female FA, dark female and bionic half shaved female EC (the squad completed in the previous post). Well what does all this mean: EA (first squad of first platoon) can be run with only las and sergeant, with vox, with plasma, sniper or grenade launcher. FA can have only las and sergeant, vox, grenade launcher or sniper. GA only sergeant EB eight las, sergeant, vox, plasma, sniper or grenade launcher. FB, eight las, sergeant, vox, melta or sniper. GB none EC, all las, sergeant, vox, grenade launcher or sniper. FC none GC none A platoon or AQ also have a platoon commander and command squad with medic, standard, vox and heavy flamer. Three chimeras. BQ have a platoon commander. CQ no command. Phew.. need to make a army shot or something as soon as I got GA done.

MedicMike0708 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Looks Great! Really well done on the varied heads, gives some real personality and authenticity to a guard unit. Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Really like your camo and uniforms. As MedicMike0708 said the head swaps add a lot of character. Keep’em coming! Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etheneus Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Really like your camo and uniforms. As MedicMike0708 said the head swaps add a lot of character. Keep’em coming! Thanks to both of you. I don't want an army of clones, uniforms that take away identity is fine though. That's why most of my army still wears helmets. (Reminds me, need more empty helmets...) So for something new: Two flamers, one for EA, one for FA. Two lasguns, one for EB, one for FB. So AQ platoon have more options and BQ platoon can take all lasguns + sergeant. The company commander will be second in command of the company (QJ). Bionic parts, like the CC legs are from Anvil industry and same goes for head, legs and left hand of flamer female. The bit on flamer female's base is product placement librisrouge, GreenScorpion, Bjorn Firewalker and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenScorpion Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The conversions, basing and so on really make the soldiers quite characterful :) I particularly like the commander, the entire pose and mix of parts work really well. The only good xenos is a really dead xenos :D Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pounder Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Your Commissar looks great. I like that you’ve used blue for the highlights instead of grey. Must be Commissar day! I finished one today too! Etheneus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Commanders: The platoon commander with powerfist (that has since picture was taken a less shiny fist) has regular swedish M/90 camo on his clothes but for the commander I went back to M/52 that is out of use but more befitting the model. For commissar and company commander warlord I chose our dress/parade uniform M/87. The commander, being the leader of the regiment/brigade he has gold details but the commissars in my mind come from the Emperor's troops and in Sweden the king's troops have silver. Yes, the irony in that the Emperor had a golden armour has struck me. Your dress uniform is basically the opposite of my guard uniforms lol.Try a few more thin coats to get a more crisp white. 4CIN87 and Etheneus 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etheneus Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Thanks. Will try when I come around to making another Warlord (I mean, your warlord should not overcharge) For now a commisar that was painted about three weeks ago for the monthly challenge but never posted here. Commisar with boltgun Arms and leg from Anvil industry and head from Statuesque miniatures. The arms didn't fit around the uniform but with added broaden bionic (green stuff) shoulders it look alright. Also five scions from the same pledge. Preassembled and painted red, but again I didn't bother striping the old colour but covered it up and so the layers are thick.

Etheneus Posted June 1, 2021 Author Share Posted June 1, 2021 Thanks Firewalker! Continuing with Tempestus Scions I finished a Valkyrie with magnetised options, didn't get a picture of the options though. The diorama base was especially fun to do.
