Thanks, and that was exactly the idea!

@AAN

Did you mix the Matt Medium and Army Dipper 1:1?

Honestly not sure, I just mix out of a gut feeling.
Maybe 2/3 Matt 1/3 Dipper...

After a small hiatus again a picture.

Nathaniel Garro wearing a mixture of Mk III and IV armour and his sword libertas.

Some info on the mini: it is of course based on the SM mini from the Master of the Chapter box. Since the PF would be not fitting and Garro often wears Mk IV armour I used a suitable hand and helmet. I then added an Aquila to a MkIV backpack and repositioned the head. The idea is to have him wear a prototype armour.

Awesome work. Curious on how you did they wash on the vehicles? Was it brushed on or did you use another technique?

Same as the infantry!

Your death guard are some of the best I've ever seen, they look perfect for how they are described in the fluff. I want to see more, keep pumping these models out.

These things are awesome! Love the paint job, big fan of the Death Guard!

I really like your Garro, great stuff!

Some scenery for the Death Guard, the Quantum Gothic Communication Array!

These are probably the best painted legion models I have ever seen! Definitely subbing!

I agree with the last comment. These are painted perfectly in my opinion. The best Death Gaurd I've ever seen.

Tremendously good work here AAN. You've captured the feel of them perfectly.

Great Job!

Very, very cool looking models. Ace!

First, your minis look amazing.

I have a request: Could you provide some pictures and/or a description of how you magnetized the sponsons on that Deimos predator? I'm not sure how to magnetize the sponsons on mine because of how the how the various bits slot into each other and how the lascannon and heavy bolter use different hoses/cables, and it would be helpful to see how you handled that.

Thanks!

Big thanks Folks! Makes me go on...

@Myelinated Axon: Nothing Special to Show to be honest.
I used the same magnets that are provieded with Flames of war tanks. One is glued to the hull, one to the weapon - done.

Nice Radar assembly! Nicely weathered without being overly weathered, the right balance of form and function.

Awesome looking Stuff !

The III rd Legion - Emperors Children


As with the Death Guard I totally dislike 40K EC. Way to colourful and queer for my taste (well as long as a tabletop army is concerned).
The way they are presented in the Heresy novel is a different thing, very much to my liking. A warrior brotherhood sworn to achieve martial perfection with a vain leader who constantly is doing the wrong thing out of often good reasons.
So when the opportunity was there to get a decent painted Heresy style EC army, I had to jump at it. So when Peter Zuidgeest of Scars was selling his army we quickly reached an agreement, roughly 2/3 of his force was sold to the US and I took the rest.

As you can see the minis are very nicely done with some cool Source lightning effects. But still I wanted to change something. The freehand numbering is a bit sloppy IMO for a Legion so vain. The bases are IMO a bit too distracting for rank and file trooper.

So I changed the minis to look like the mini below. Only a subtle difference, but more to my liking. And as strange as it sounds - now it is really MY mini. So within the next weeks you will see some more EC from me!


OK, on to Fulgrim, not only one of my favourite Primarchs, the FW mini is just too good to be missed!

Wow, excellent paintjob on Fulgrim: really does the model great justice: he looks brilliant.

And I too share your dislike for 40K EC, but like of 30K EC.

I'm glad to hear this once in awhile, most of the posts I see hate the Fulgrim model. I think the sculpt is great, and I even like the stance that so many do not like.

Missed that discussion complete, who dislikes a sculpt like this???

And another one:

Aftermarket Sanguinius - Forge World Fulgrim.

The Sanguinius mini is sculpted (probably) by Scibor. I bought the minis quite cheap from a guy in Russia.
While Sanguinius is agreat mini as it is, it is really no competition for Fulgrim!

Very nice paint job. How did you do the Roman numerals? I'm just starting and experimenting with freehand symbols. Would love to put the squad number in the tactical squad arrow

Peter just painted them on, mine are Transfers.

So for you use the arrow Transfer, seal it with tranfers fix or something similar and then apply the next trasnfer, pretty straightforward.

And one more pic showing the Transfers on the cloak in more Detail:

Here we go:

...the effect of the “Agisfication” on a half squad.
Bases changed, transfers applied, banner repainted, metal effects added, some retouches here and there.

Same on a Contemptor:

Beautifully done!

Man, you really make me want to paint purple pretties...

That 's the idea!
