I've been fighting the urge to start yet another power armoured force and even though 5th Ed isn't being very nice to them I've decided to unload on the EC...

Well, if I'm gonna give into my desires I may as well go whole hog!

I've started [at the start!] with my first HQ. I know DP's and lash sorc's make better game sense but I'm in this one for the models and the narrative. Ergo, my Lord with combi-melta, blissgiver and doom siren [holding out for their return in 6th just for show otherwise];



Painting to follow ;P

Here's a little glimpse as to how it's going;



Hmm... just noticed my grey highlights on his shin look pink... damn lighting XD I'll never be a photographer!

Thats a lovely tone of pink, I'll be interested to see what becomes of this chap

Thanks Scotti, here's how he's shaping up. Gonna work on him this evening so I'll update this pic later

Very nice work for sure!

Can't wait to see the finished product

Same its looks amazing

At first I was like: Meh I don't like Emperors Children... lets take a look anyway...

Then when I saw the pics I was like: HHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOLLLLLLYYYYY F*** THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!1111111111111

Seriously nice work bro

Great pose, and I love the added EC detail on the shoulder pads, and the doom siren. Looking forward to seeing it when it's done!

Cheers dudes... on the subject of pink;

I've got this far but I've stopped because I can't decide which bit of pink to do next. Its either some of the arms (not a clue which bits) or the chest insert (black trims then the mithril collar) any thought? tah

last update for tonight, sleepy time now!

I was soooooooo close to pinking the chest but after looking over a few other examples I chose not to. I'm just going with the shins, fore arms and maybe helmets. Glad I did now because with the blues, I'm fighting to keep it as macabre as possible. I know EC like to test the senses but garish and gothic don't mix too easy ;P

[MENTION=10524]Borak[/MENTION]. I've decided on keeping all fabrics to pre-heresy, purple and gold.

Tah-Dah!

Still want to colour the base rim though... undecided.

Next... terminators but first... Orks! I'll pick this plog up after Christmas. I'll be working on my Blood Axes until then
