Primarch16 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 A fine army there my freind, the dreads look surprisingly good (I'm normally a fan of the normal dreads, but these are nice) I must know how you did the bases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralStukov Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I love the army so far, Its really showing your best skills so far. Also a MW:DA fan? heh... I've found the legs on various mechs can actually be clipped right off and thrown onto the torso of a dread to make them look 100x better... the dreads always made me think of dwarf mechs... god dont get me started with how funny they walk in DoW..

Salamander_WAU Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 The bases are simple. Get your knife, and a steel ruler and carve the tile pattern into a standard GW bases (be careful). Then stipple/drybrush the appropriate colours onto it. The texture on a GW base works very well for outdoor style tiles. @GeneralStukov - Classic Battletech, not MW:DA. I'm old school. @Brother of Fortitude - Thanks, I've only just realised that everyone except for the chaplains is actually converted. Isn't it usually the other way around? :D Seriously though, if I'm going to use Trust In Your Battle Brothers, everyone who has it is damn well going to have a bolter and close combat weapon. No "counts as" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel robertson Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Really really nice looking army! Did you change an colours around from JT's tut? AR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 The basic armour is the same, but his guys have red helmets, white armour and black shoulder pads. Mine have black helmets and backpacks. There's a few other differences as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Dante Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Looking good so far, nice job with the chaplain and pred. However, I can't help but think the front of the pred looks a bit bare. It could do with some freehand on the dozerblade and something on the front armour just to make it pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 The predator will get some battle honours once it's earned them. So, after I've played a few games it will get purity seals, kill markings and various honours. I find it's a bit more fun that way than just giving it random stuff :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 wicked stuff, the bases look good, although I am a bit biased.. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 @ kraegus, thanks. Yeah, IIRC those bases were your idea in the first place. Kudos man, my army wouldn't look half as good if you hadn't come up with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralStukov Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Awsome still, I love your chappie, and yea.. Same, Im a huge fan of the MW line, but the MW:DA game is just fodder for my 40k, so I go with what looks good, kudos on blending the army so well!

John Thompson Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Absolutely brilliant! The bone looks gorgeous on the tank to!! Stom somethings chapterGhosts..

Salamander_WAU Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Work took me out of town for a while, but I have managed to get another squad finished (almost, one guy to go). So just for you aretziel, I present Squad V of the Eternal Champions. http://www.users.on.net/~a.forbessimmons/Eternal%20Champions/Squad%20V%20001.JPG http://www.users.on.net/~a.forbessimmons/Eternal%20Champions/Squad%20V%20002.JPG Pics aren't the best unfortunately. The lighting today isn't great. I'll sort some better ones later. Now see if you can spot the guys done with NMM. I'm trying to decide whether to switch to NMM, so the most recent paintjobs have NMM. Once I finally make up my mind, I'll either change them all to true metallics or NMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldo_Funk Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 You're army look amazingly good. I especially love the way you paint black. Your dreadnought is a bit Metal-Gear-Rex-esque, this long legs reminds also the eldar Wraithlords (sound a bit heretic to say it uh uh...). The poses of the guys like the sarge of the latest squad you posted. It reminds me the crimson fist illustration on the old codex:SM. Good job, keep in this way.

Thanks for the compliments though. Not sure what a Metal Gear Rex is, so I didn't use that for inspiration. It's loosely based off a battlemech.

lotsa_terminators Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 just curious, how many tac squads will you have? We've seen pics of I, II, and V...will there be a III and IV? Nice work man, I'm digging the white, looks realistic, nobody's going to keep a shiney white on the battlefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 You've only seen II and V. I is the next squad - they're on the painting desk at the moment. Probably only going to do 3 tactical squads for now. At 200 points plus per squad it will have to be a big game before I need more than 3, and I have Rhinos needing painting for the completed squads. And assault squad and some assault terminators are on the list, plus maybe a bike squad (just so I can have a black and white space marine on a black and white bike).

Grey Ghost Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 5 man tac squads at 200 pts - ouch, tooled right out I quess. We've seen two chaplains now, is your force led by these guys or do you have a commander? Personaly I like the idea of the chaplains leading your force, feels more in line with your colour scheme. Especially with the black contrast of the chaplains armour agianst your impresive white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 10 man squads at 230 points actually. They're just photographed in lots of 5 to make them more visible. Yeah, the chaplains are going to be leading my force. I like the reverse colour scheme thing they have going - black with bone helmets as opposed to bone with black helmets.

Rorschach Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've been following this thread with great interest since the beginning, and I must simply bow down in the dust to your work. Your ivory/bone/worn white is simply incredible, the crispness of it and the straigthness of the vertical "weathering lines" blows me away. This is one of the best armies I've seen painted in quite some time. All honours to you, good Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Lovely army mate, cheers! BTW, got any fluff on 'em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salamander_WAU Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Don't you know that every time you use the word "fluff" to describe background, a kitten dies? They're called the Eternal Champions, and the chaplains take the place of captains. There's probably additional chaplains i.e. 2 per company rather than one. Unsure on libbies at the moment, but I'd like to include them. Other than that, there's not much set as to their fluff. I may adapt something from the same source Ilifted the black sword icon and the eternal champion name from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Ghost Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don't know if a libby would fit in with your current theme. How would he blue look with the rest of the force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
