ironloki Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Love them - completely :unsure: . Full of character. Is there any fluff behind this force/grouping? or was it just a case of wanting to paint up different coloured marines? Makes me want to do the same!

Isiah Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 yeah excellent stuff AB. I love the idea of this mixed squad – I have to say that of course I am biased and Lazarus (DA) looks best – but they all catch the eye for different reasons. Brilliant.

The Defiler Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Those Alpha Legion guys are everywhere, you know, infiltrating enemy's forces, disguising themselves as Imperial Space Marines... *cough* ...

Traitor in Jeans Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 If GW had pictures lik this to advertise marines we'd all be collecting. Truly inspirational to every space marine collector Angel_Blade.

FuriousFerret Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Brother Sargeant Lazarius of the Dark Angelshttp://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P3220093.jpg These are fantastic! The Salamander especially - what an amazing color scheme. The only mini I think is a little bit off is the Dark Angel. Not the painting, but the pose. He's like "yarr, repent! I point my helmet in your general direction, you nasty evil KK-Knicket!"

Z4k Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I love all these, the slightly different to normal colours are very effective, although I think Brother Sargeant Lazarius of the Dark Angels could do with a bit more green for more "I'm obviously a DA"-ish-ness Those Alpha Legion guys are everywhere, you know, infiltrating enemy's forces, disguising themselves as Imperial Space Marines... Hmmm... yes it seems that they have some how managed to killed the Grey Knight that was (:wallbash: !!!SHOULD!!! :jaw: be) in this group. I'm not saying this because GKs are the most awesome SMs ever (although they are), I'm saying it because I would expect that the emperor would have the best of the best protecting Holy Terra, along with the other SMs. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/133350-the-guardians-of-terra/#findComment-1537679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 KK-Knicket! FYI, that should be "k-nig-ht" or "ka-nig-it" I guess. The Knights Of Ni just mispronounce the word "knight". :wallbash: I'm amazed by how many people miss that.

Angels_Blade Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thanks again but greay knights can't be in this unit as they didn't exist heresy era. for the same reason that is why the DA is black!!

Aqatone Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I guess not many people in this thread remember the heresy era colors of the legions then :D Good job! It would be cool to see the traitor legions in their pre heresy colors too.

I just tried to render it like the French knight (not the Knights who Say Ni, mind you) pronounced it, on a bog-standard keyboard. EDIT: On reflection, the Dark Angels is more like, "I haz a Legion", and then, "NOOOOO, dey be stealing my Legion!1!!" or: I haz a Emprur", and then "NOOOO dey be stealing my Emprur!!!1" or: "Mah winged bukkit, let me show u it" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/133350-the-guardians-of-terra/#findComment-1537907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Emperor's Champion Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I just now realized you were using the Pre-Heresy colors but got the Pre-Heresy Salamander wrong. The old Salamander colors scheme was mostly the same except they wore a green even darker than the modern Dark Angels do. I suspect they switched to a bright green when the Dark Angels switched from black so that they weren't ironically darker than the Dark Angels. ;) Or I guess you could argue that that was their original color scheme strictly outside of fluff, but I like the Salamanders having an older color scheme; I feel it adds to what little background material they have. ;) Yup. I am fully aware of that, and I teach English at university. I just tried to render it like the French knight (not the Knights who Say Ni, mind you) pronounced it, on a bog-standard keyboard. Ah yes, right you are; 'twas the French. Been a while since I watched MPatHG 32 times in a row. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/133350-the-guardians-of-terra/#findComment-1538611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Rohr Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 He is the one in Maximus Armor pointing. In IA: Salamanders it shows the salamnders in a dark olive green, the way he has him painted, not a neon green like they are now.

Merkava Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Very nice. I just need to get off my butt and start my Heresy era project, a diorama of all 18 legions. I've got my parts picked, just need to work on it now.

Angels_Blade Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I used 'Horus Heresy collected visions' as a reference for all these guys. I went for an olive green because thats how they were shown in there. The are currently awaiting a base then i will be entering them in the national painting comp in my local store. I am starting work on the Scourge of Terra soon using all the traitor legions and a fallen DA. Any ideas on weapon combos and shoulder pads would be welcomed!!

Iacton Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hey AB http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/Iacton/Smilies/wavey.gif 1st post here, but nice to see a familiar face straight away. I really like your work and the attention to detail as far as the pre-Heresy armour schemes are concerned. I'm also looking forward to the scourge work!
