Dawn of War Codex

Remarkable.

One of the best portraits i ever seen

Great stuff.

My mind war blown how awesome that portrait looks

Hello peepz :3

Here is the update on the ork Painboy + I made the Vanguard veteran also ^^
Hope you guys like it
I chose to use the standard helmet instead of the ones you can see on ASMs since as I checked the miniatures the veterans always have this type of whilte helmet on
I tried to make this brighter xD

Anyways lemme know what you guys think

Which ones should I do next ? :3
I was thinking on giving poor IG spotters a unique portrait not the sergant's
But if there is other priority portrait I should do lemme know

I'm getting together materials for the legion specific portraits for chaos :3
+ if I recall it properly, the DLC-s havent provided the factions with unique portraits isnt it ? Like... the Death Krieg still has the default one, same for Word Bearers and Ultramarines

Anyways, if you like put up a wish list of which sub-faction should I make a redo in portraits :3 I start to really get the hang of it ^^ + its quick and enjoyable :3

Lemme know what you guys think

Regarding ur ASM comment => this proves you are wrong

Still a nice pic though. ^^

The DLC have unique portraits for some units (Krieg has new hero portraits, for example). Most remain standard, though.

I chose to use the standard helmet instead of the ones you can see on ASMs since as I checked the miniatures the veterans always have this type of whilte helmet on

In table-top, Assault Mehreens can have any type of helmet - and most would use the modern Mk7 (Aquila) instead of the old Mk6 (Corvus) model. They just picked the Corvus helmets for the Assault Squad in DoW2 to make 'em look different from Tacs - and the beak shape seems thematically suitable for jump troops anyway.

In any case, the portrait looks good.

Aye I know that the beaked helmets are used more often on the ASMs but personally... I quite dont like them x) Hence why I used the M7 variant

Anyways, lemme know which one should I do next ?
Which units and whatnot :3 I have free time on my hand so I might as well use it for something productive

beautiful work, Sternguard next or maybe some Dark Reapers?

Current Raptor portrait could use a quality replacement :p

Oh, hehe Ok, noted

Hm, as far as I know, Sternguard already have a new portrait? (as I've seen, The Ancient's portrait from Retribution ) And Hans is doing the Reapers as I know ^^ Most likely will do the Fire Dragons too I assume :3


So as of now, its Raptors for sure =)
Any other unit model needs a re-drawing ? Like... making a diff. portrait for Assault or normal Termi ? They have the same atm so it can be confusing which is which by portrait alone x)
Aside of that, the only ones I recall would be Reapers (Hans doing it) + Fire Dragons X)

After the individual portraits I could start with the DLC portraits and sub-factions =)
If you guys have a wish-list this is a perfect time to lemme know which I should work on

devastators look a lot like tacs.

Thanks on Raptors they need a quality replacement. Chaos Termies could use a better one but hey I'm just happy we've got someone who can actually do these

Actually I thought of one suggestion regarding the Vanguard - they would generally have the laurels painted on the helmet, being veterans and all.

Oh, I was thinking that I should draw that on their helm
Ok, that will be quite a quick fix ^^

So, right now the list for icon change is as follows:

General unit portraits:
- Chaos Raptor
- SM Assault Terminator (I assume, since the basic termi was there first )
- SM Devastator
- ?

Sub-facion specific (infantry, commanders + walkers, I dont think tanks need a diff. portrait imo ^^)
- Krieg (minus the commanders it seems )
- Ultramarines
- Word Bearers
- Alpha Legion
- ?

Let me know what you guys want I'll deliver ^^ It takes a few hours only to do a pic like that for me =)
Since we got all the normal basic unit pics covered, I can start with the sub-factions :3 So far only Krieg, Ultramarines, Word Bearers and Alpha Legion was mentioned.
Since I dont have Elite installed (would need a working Retribution for that ^^;) I would be happy for the feedback on what needs changing =) And if the DLC has the unique commander portrait or not :3
That would help a lot ^^

Force Commander with the Terminator Armor upgrade also uses the same portrait atm.

I cant wait for your next masterpiece!

Until I'm going with the default unit portraits, could somebody be so kind to make some closeup screenshots from the DLC infantry units in-game?
First up Krieg, after the other DLC factions, since some units (like krieg guardsman or word bearer heretics) have a diff. model and would like to be as accurate as possible :3

You can drop that stuff in my email ^^
(setakh@gmail.com)
That would help a ton :3 If possible from a few angles so I can see whats where XD
Cheers :3

First up will be a Raptor then ^^

I will send you pictures when I can.

Dark angels please

Since Kilgarn has been uploading the portraits here. Ill be doing the same to keep all the portraits within 1 thread. Going to be posting Dark Reapers and Fire Dragons portraits.

Great idea Hans :3
Oh and if you like you can help out on the list XD
It will take a lot time to finish all this stuff I'd be greatful if you can draw a few of these too

I'll be curious about your Reapers and Fire Dragons Loved 'em in DoW Dark Crusade/Soulstorm :3

Hey guys :3

Here is the fixed version of the Vanguard veteran ^^
Also here is the Chaos Raptor :3

Let me know what you think I think it looks nice
Next up is the Assault Terminator + Terminator Commander ^^


P.S.: Thanks a bunch for the IG Krieg pics Yarric :3 That will help a bunch ^^ Much appreciated

All in his service, Kilgarn.
