The overall army is a successor chapter aptly named Brazen Angels, the Insignia will be an blood drop encircled as though having a halo, much like an Iron halo, image to come soon! chapter background data will be provided along side the WIP work!

WIP's to come

1: Librarian dreadnaught (already sculpted & built) painting in progress
2: Scratch built/sculpted Mephiston, something a little more modern ;)
3: Stern guard 9 man unit
4: Sanguinary Priests
5: Death Company Rhino
6: Death company unit
7: Assault marines 5 man
8: Assault marines 5 man
9: Scouts
10: StormRaven
11: Sanguinary Guard
12: Reclusiarch
13: Baal Predator
14: Death company Dreadnaught
15: Tycho, 80% green


All projects will be either compeltely scratch built, in the case of the priests & unique characters, all vehicles either complete scratch built or existing kits heavily modified & green'd. all will be sclupted & painted.

The overall paint scheme of the army to be, the palette will be using darker tones with darker shadows using purples & blues in the mix, heavy weathering & light sourcing will be used to add detail and tone to a dark mottled scheme, almost all armour will have dark to lighter inlay detail freehanded onto the armour to give it a more unique ans slightly richer appearance underneath the damage & dust. base colours will be scab red using a purple mix to shade and terracotta & dwarf flesh for the highlight.
The bronze will be a base of brazen brass with heavy shadowing & metal medium for the extreme's unsure of the shadow tone to use with bronze so some thoughts for input would be welcome.

UPDATE:Mephiston

Base of mephiston are the emperors champion legs from the hips down, cleaned marine torso, slightly cut thinner than normal to allow over armour to form the correct circumference on the chest & belly, plastic card for the collar, & selection of skulls for the adornment, the two on the collar are from the flagelant box set, and the one on the chest is from the predator lascannon sponsons.

The head used is from the space wolf tactical box set, the particular head is the one with mohawk & braid, all hair shaved off and helmet rimming removed, ears to be sculpted on prior to hair & temple servo tubing attachments

Skull on pad is from the Chaos knights box set, sword from Belakor and hilt from the AOBR captain however i am unhappy with the hilt as it doesn't match the artwork from Mephy,

Pressed skulls into Greenstuff in a column then more GS repressed into that to get each cloak design,

You have a lot of minis to paint. Your dread is really cool looking and so is Mephiston. Good luck with completing this project.

updated, had quite an interesting week so far, mostly at war with what to include and cut from the end army. However! Mephiston is all but complete apart from some movement to the hair to make it look "flowing" the only problem is I doubt mephiston will be in my end list and may go on sale upon completion hahah!
Starting creation of a unit of veteran stern guard to acompany a new sculpt of tycho. also progress on librarian dread! unfortunately my camera upload software has gone fubar but pictures to follow en masse!

having real problems at the moment with Tycho, I can't decide on his left arm, one option is him pointing with left arm "ordering his unit that way" but the shoulder pad isnt as flamboyant and pretty due to it being on its side, so cant sculpt a giant bloodied wing on it like the artworks OR, his arm just hanging down, but with the giant bloodied wing on the shoulder with tattered penants hanging from it. some opinions? I'm referring to the art work from the new codex

Can you please explain how you did the plasticard collar for Mephiston?
Click to expand...

The collar is done in 3 parts
a flat sheet, of thin plastic card measured roughly 1" BY 1" the bottom is then measured 1/3 of an inch on a central axis down the card, and top corners cut down at an angle to meet the inner lower two, the card is then bend around a metal moulding tool and then 2 incisions are made either side, one, 2 mm from each furthest edge then another 3m from that in, and bent, this is then carved from each top corner in a curve to the center, and matched back up to the other top corner. stuck to torso. using slightly thicker card, two sticks are cut, and glued on, both are then shaved to form a slight curve on their inside edge's. done. easy stuff, first time try and it seemed to work :)

Hmmm...something makes me suspect that you have a problem with the image-source. Since I've now re-loaded this thread three times, and there is NONE in here. Which forces me to do this: :pwp:
