Really impressed with the painting and conversion work, keep it up cant wait too see more

[Dolnikan]

It looks very good, the red is clear and it is very neatly painted.

[Quickdraw McGraw]

Thanks!  I'm glad your watching this topic and enjoying.
The red is the easy part.  Most of the black will be metallics.
Because he's a veteran, gold is the order of the day. 
And it can be slow going with so many layers.

But I'll keep posting till it's finished and then off to the next challenge.

Cheers,
Josh

Good Day Fellow Clavers!   

I have no up dated pics at this moment.  However all is going very well.  I was hoping to getting the help of
some of our Latin speaking brothers. 

The scrolling on the left shoulder beneath the Iconography is going to say "Sanguinus".   But the right will have a portrait of
Sanguinus face and say "Blood of my Blood" in Latin.  I looked up the wording and I need to know if it's correct...

"Cruor de meus cruor".

Is This correct? I didn't just say a curse word or something? 

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

It should be good enough for High Gothic - indeed, I came across a claim on Warseer that the Studio/BL policy is that only Great Crusade era High Gothic is grammatically correct latin, but 41st Millenium High Gothic is more like dog latin, with latinised greek mixed in.

[KrautScientist]

First of all, let me say that I am not a Latin buff, so take this with a grain of salt.

But is there any reason why you are using "cruor" instead of "sanguis"?

Also, I just did a small search on the matter, and discovered this on "Yahoo Answers":

A similar phrase in the Bible from the Vulgate is "bone of my bones". The Vulgate says "os ex ossibus meis". So blood of my blood would likewise be "sanguis ex sanguine meo".

In any case, DapperAnarchist is right: The GW studion usually seem to just throw in some Latin they remember from church service -- and even those guys didn't always get it right. As long as it looks "gothic" and grimdark enough, you should be fine 

[Quickdraw McGraw]

Thanks for the quick replays!   

Dapperanarchist-  yes I believe you're right.  Any Latin/Gothic will do.

Krautscientist- I did a search on an online translator and that's what it gave me. But I do like your words better.  As long as it's readable I'm cool with it.

Thanks for both of yours help!

I personally ould go for cruor cruoris mei. Cruor is in the nominative, cruoris mei in the genitive. This should be the correct phrase. This sort of thing at least gives me the idea that I didn't learn the language for nothing. Cruor also has a slightly different meaning than sanguis, cruor can also refer to bloodshed, while sanguis has a cleaner meaning.

[Zakkeg]

Speaking only for myself, I tend to take the view that perfect Latin is in fact imperfect High Gothic - that is to say, it's Canis Latinicus by design. My usual MO is to run a given word or phrase through Google Translate (as my personal command of Latin could be generously described as slipshod), then adjust the results to the point that it rolls off the tongue properly. The end result of this is generally something that's just barely intelligible to a fluent speaker, but has that all-important "feel".

In other words, what Dapper said.

(Oh - and before I forget, beautiful work on the jump pack. My initial reaction was something along the lines of "Bah! Not another 28mm thread." )

[Quickdraw McGraw]

Thanks for the help fellows.     

I went to a few other translator websites and punched in the various suggestions everyone made.  Everything pretty much says word for word the blood of my blood.  After rolling the different sentences off my tongue for a while.  I've settled with cruor cruoris mei.  Plus it's a smaller sentence.   

Thanks everyone for your help!  Back to painting.

Good Morning Fellow Clavers!

It's been a month since I started this tread and I'm happy to say 1 down 4 to go...err maybe 5 or 6 to go.  Who the heck knows?     But in any case I'll be posting many other works in progress. 

But I'm getting ahead of myself again.     Here's my Finished 1st company Sargent from the Blood Angel's chapter, Lazarus.

Bloody awesome

[Dolnikan]

He looks great! I love the attention to detail it shows.

[Quickdraw McGraw]

Thanks guys!  I'm glad to hear you both like him.

I'm just a very detailed individual.     Maybe too much so.   

Any criticism would be nice too. I'm not just being modest.   It was hard giving him a battle warn look.  I would like to invest in a better camera and light box to portray him as I see him on my shelf.   

Thanks again for viewing.
Josh

edit:  too much filler.   

[Adlan]

This is the sort of thing I'm thinking of when I say I'd play any model, no matter how theoretically cheesy or broken in=][= is, if it's a nice enough model.
