Hi there,
I've been lurking for quite a while on Dakka, but until now have kind of shunned away from posting. Some of you might have stumbled across these elsewhere, so I apologise for anyone who's just seeing them again :(
Thought I'd get some photos taken of them, and share my last many many months work !

Really nice. The eagles are really well done. A simple enough technique but truly effective. Great work!

You asked for suggestions, so here goes.


Take that army to GT. Make sure you have somewhere to put your best army trophy.

That is insanely good, the colours, your blending, the conversions, all just superb. Congratulations on an amazing army.

Wow, Simply wow.....


I like the purple. It reminds me of something I tried with my Emperor's children. It did not work out for me though, because I can't paint that good......

Very nice, are the jetbikes all Master's of the Ravenwing?

Correct, though I modified the exhaust, using a combination of cities of death terrain exhausts, plasticard tubing, rivets, greenstuff and a twin linked heavy flamer.
Heres a bit of a look at how I did it:

fantastic! what else have you got planned?

awesome!

This stuff is truly amazing to me. Sir one day I aspire to be like you, a really good painter.

Elegant paint scheme and basing, great job!

i love post heresy armies but it makes me sad such great warriors turned to chaos

Throne, those are great!

I really like these. Simple but effective conversions and some really ncie painting. Great job!

Ho-moley....insanity man, very nice....very very nice.


Almost a shame lucius became a juicer...

Veeeeeery nice. Love the way you´ve made the colors work together, excellent blending.

As others have said, get going to GD and win some prizes, or at least more praise!

Some questions, especially as I'm trying to get together a squad of Heresy Era Armored Terminators myself!

1) What helmets did you use?

2) How did you make the combi-weapons?

3) How did you make the shoulder pads and leather straps?

Very, very nice stuff!

Fantastic work. Thanks for posting.

Hiya,

1) That's actually the regular termie head. I cut down the head, and drilled some holes in the side.
2) I just cut the barrels and the ammo clip off the storm bolter, and fashioned on a melta/plasma pistol barrel. I then put half the origional storm bolter barrel back on, and used a chain of ammo from an ork shoota.
3) The leather straps are just very thin bits of plasticard slightly bent. The shoulder pads were made by cutting a plastic tube in half, laying one half inside the other, and trimming to fit. Then I just chucked a million rivets everywhere !

Fantastic looking army. The jetbikes show real dedication to spending money!
But worth it for such a cool looking unit.

Well done

Beautiful!

What did you use for the base purple? I know it was not anything stright out of the bottle.

sweet mouther of god I wish I code paint like that .
dey look realy realy good.

How could you have been shunned away from posting with an army like that?!

Good point!

Were you able to buy all the Master of the Ravenwing jetbikes before the Bitz Service disappeared?

Sadly no, I went out and did it the hard way.

Somewhere lying around I have 5 sammaels in a box
You may notice that one of Lucius' swords are the entire sammael hand and sword actually.

Very nice indeed. I am very impressed. Thanks for sharing.

Very impressive army. I think Ive seen them before, but that doesnt make them any less good looking.

THx for sharing.

You my friend can paint. That army is top notch.

The purple is the following, from a black undercoat:

2 coats of lich purple, then slowly mixing up to warlock purple with about 3-4 stages in between, then a hilight of just warlock purple, before mixing a fair chunk of bleached bone into that until its a very light bright pink. After that I mixed some lich purple with some chaos black, and watered this down extremely, applying it all over the purple to darken it down and help blend the lines. It's something like 9 stages all up but it finishes up going at a reasonable pace.

S**T!
Thank you for posting these beauties.
This has to be the sweetest army I have ever seen.

I'd like to know how you painted the gold. I don't really care for NMM, but the way you paint it, I just need to know.

Would love to fight against these with my PH Death Guard

Fantastic! Well done. If only I could paint like that.
