D3ATHRAV3N Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Looks really good I really like the idea of two space marine armies pulling together, seems fuffy considering the small forces in which space marines deploy. One chapter can be the backup :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138911-twos-companies/page/3/#findComment-1688824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 That's the look I was going for! :P I'm hoping daylight and a better camera might absolve some of Midian's worries: I think it was the original photo - it doesn't look too bad. Not a fan of the old school bolt pistol though im afraid.

Commissar Molotov Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Another update: I wasn't too happy with the previous Anteas, and Midian's lukewarm response really confirmed what I was feeling inside. Now this time round I'm really happy with how he's going. He looks young, which befits the youngest Captain in the Chapter. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-001.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-002.jpg I've been playing around with the Reedemer/Crusader kit and I wanted to make an Ironclad. Using the Black Reach dreadnought I mocked this up: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ironclad-WIP-001.jpg But after some suggestions from my brother I'm looking at something more akin to this: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ironclad-WIP-002.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ironclad-WIP-003.jpg I've also been fiddling around with a model for Captain Ramus, Master of the Rites - I suppose there's a little bit of inspiration taken from 300, but the good kind: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ramus-001.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ramus-002.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ramus-003.jpg Finally, these are for Barret - he wanted pictures of the Redeemer: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-01.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-02.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-03.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-04.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-05.jpg (as you can see, the assault cannons work equally well in a Razorback...) http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-06.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138911-twos-companies/page/3/#findComment-1710141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barret Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Burny, burny goodness! I like the new Anteas, and you appear to have taken the plasma pistol off nicely. I had a really hard time with that. Ramus is very cool looking, too. I have two of those models and I've been wondering what to do with them, so I may have to borrow that pose. --edit--- And yes, I like the Ironclad, too. I think I like the first version of the Hurricane better, just because it seems to fit on the sarcophagus better. Maybe if you left it like that and added some casing on the outside? Also, I think the sarcophagus itself could benefit with some upgrades to represent AV13. Other than that, looking good, too!

Thanks for the comments. :) I put the Ramus model together idly whilst sorting through my bitz-box. I had that Templar Marshal, but I couldn't find the axe or the combi-melta. The storm shield is from the Masters of the Chapter, by the way (though that's probably obvious). I used the power sword from the Chaos sprue, but there are Imperial versions that would probably work better. Oh, and plastic hurricane bolters make the world a nicer place. :) I like the new Anteas, and you appear to have taken the plasma pistol off nicely. I had a really hard time with that. I made it even easier... I cut the whole arm off! :) http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-09.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-10.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-11.jpg I've been fiddling around with this sword arm (I'd probably cut the wrist and rotate the sword slightly to make the pose a little more natural.); I had considered using the beefy sword out of the AOBR box, but I've gone for this option instead at the moment. I plan for him to be looking slightly to his left, firing off in the opposite direction. It's really amazing how different this model looks with these changes. Especially when you compare it to the original... In other news, I've been playing around with a(n apparently, I sadly found today, OOP...) Necromunda Bounty Hunter... I looked for a pic today on the GW sites, but they've taken the pictures down, which is a shame. Anyway, he's going to form part of the retinue for the Inquisitor attached to this army. I've replaced his gun with a laspistol from a plastic Catachan: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Inquisitor-Retinue-001.jpg That left me with this bad boy... rather fitting for the new 'Auxiliary Grenade Launcher'... :) http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/AGL.jpg Not too sure where I'll use it yet. Still, it's useful to have around. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138911-twos-companies/page/3/#findComment-1710758 Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-Diablo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Now thats a captain. Anteas looks awesome, the pose is great, and even though I hate that particular head, it works really well on the figure. Now get some paint on him! Ramus on the other hand, is screaming Sword Bearer at me. Now I need to go hunt that figure down on ebay as I sold my one ages ago. :) I will have some Sword Bearer updates in the next day or so, Warhammer Online is trying to take over my life....... EDIT - Not a single sighting on Ebay. :o I'd be willing to pay a good price for the body of this figure if anyone wants to sell one....... http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Ramus-002.jpg Apologies to Com.

Commissar Molotov Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nah, I've still got it from the last time I sent you stuff. I'll hopefully get it out to you in the next few days before I go back to university. :) I've not done too much with Anteas because I've spent the evening making bikes for my brother's White Scars (I'll start a seperate thread for them soon). I've found a bolt pistol arm in the depths of my bitz-box, though, so I'll hopefully get around to a mock-up soon! :) EDIT: Here's Anteas with a bolt pistol: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-012.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-013.jpg And this is quite an interesting head on the Land Raider Redeemer/Crusader sprue: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-Crewman.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138911-twos-companies/page/3/#findComment-1711503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Diablo Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Anteas is looking great, the sword lowered along with the rest of the pose gives a really good heroic look. The bolt pistol looks fine in the hand, but how would a pointing hand look? Either would go well with the shouting head. And this is quite an interesting head on the Land Raider Redeemer/Crusader sprue: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Redeemer-Crewman.jpg That head needs to go on a chaos champion. Painted in a palid flesh tone it'd look great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138911-twos-companies/page/3/#findComment-1711566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 That head needs to go on a chaos champion. Painted in a palid flesh tone it'd look great.

Brother Tancred Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nice thread guys ;) its really great seeing two gamers working together like this and you seemed to have gathered alot of interest. Everyone has the same problem, staying motivated with an army. I'm the same(been painting for 3 years and still haven't finished painting an army :) ) I found my problem was I tried painting everything to the same top quaility standard as you would with a captain or special model :P took me weeks just to do a few men lol. If you keep it simple, base coat and then a wash or highlight then you'll be able to push an army out so much faster and it will be a good tabletop army. Then you can go back and do extra highlights :P Keep up the great painting and conversions. Good luck ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138911-twos-companies/page/3/#findComment-1711631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hrm, you've really got me going now Mol. Anteas looks freaking aweseome, no joke. Such a simple little conversion has really made this model. I really like the sword you have chosen, I say keep it, as well as the bolt pistol wielding arm. Originally I had thought that choosing a head for Anteas would be the hardest decision for the model but the limited edition Champion figure fits him well, showing his vitality and youth. What backpack will you be planning on using, I'm thinking I may go with the plastic Space Marine Captain 'eagle-exhaust' one for Sirius.

Commissar Molotov Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 A small update this time: I've started to GS the neck area on Anteas, repairing the collar where it got damaged by the drill whilst taking out the remnants of the helmet. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-12.jpg I've started looking at basing. I want to raise him up on a 28mm base, and use the height to have him standing on a ruined statue. I've always been really inspired by the basing on this model by Chris Borer. Does anyone know where/what the statue is? My best guess is that it's a daemonette or some fantasy model that's been re-sculpted slightly. I just really like the contrast between the 'high culture' of the statue and the despair and destruction of total war. All thoughts are welcome!

Hopes this helps The Imperial eagle's taken from a Black Templar cenobyte servitor (the one with Grimaldus) - I used it on this Chaplain (though I've since reclaimed it and might use it with Anteas, perhaps.) Thanks for the input, though - I looked at the plastic Daemonettes but none of them seemed similar to the statuette in that Fulgrim model... :) EDIT: http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z121/mnesimache/Castigator%20Army/Anteas-WIP-13.jpg This showcases my idea (to a degree - what I'd be doing is using half a slotta-base, green-stuff, etc) - but that shows the height Anteas would be at - and also the space the statue would be fitting into.
