ImperialTemplari Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 thanks guys 13skullz - Velajo Burnt cad red slowly highlighted with GW blood red, (have done a little more work on it, will add more pics lsoon) Khrangar - Angels Nosferatus, I like that, I will seriously consider this. Imperial Bane - very imaginitive names maybe the Coronium Piston Steam Divers Inquisitor_Lenso... - thanks for your thoughts but I agree with Kaldoth, whilst the Blood Angels maybe extreamly loyal, these are their evil serial killer cousins.

ImperialTemplari Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Here's the latest pic they are about 60% done, base needs some work, need to do battle damage and weathering, as per previous posts still looking for input about a name, also trying to think of a design for the VAS sergeants tabard, all comments welcome.

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 not to be a downer on your plans, but BAs are one of the most loyal chapters because of what their primarch went through, and they would never forsake his sacrifice like that. And these aren't Blood Angels :P They're successors. Two completely different things. Look at the Flesh Tearers and the Flesh Eaters. BA successors, and they're both walking the very fine line between Imperial and Excommunicate. Cheers, -Kal the BA as a whole are on the line of being excommunicated just because of the effects of the gene curse, but that doesnt mean they would go and consort with alien scum for their tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hey Inquisitor_Lenso... who said anything about consorting with Xenos, the only consorting this chapter does is to rip their spines (skull still attached) out of their bodies Predator style so they can be taken back to the ADMECH to study, please remember that at one stage ALL MARINES were extremely loyal and betrayal was unthinkable (I must point out here that this chapter does not follow chaos or consort with Xenos, their sole focus is the cure of the black rage, they at no point meant to become renegades, their focus on curing the black rage has lead them down this path) this is the fluff I'm sticking with, thanks for your input.

And again, his Chapter is a BA successor. And on top of that, nowhere did he say that his Chapter consorted with Xenos for their technologies. -Kal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaldoth Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I've been playing this game for nearly ten years, and I've never heard anything like that. Yes, the Black Rage is under a close watch by the Inquisition, but that in no way means they're about to be excommunicated. Anyway, if you'd like to discuss this further, please P.M. me. No thread hijackery needs to be done here. Keep the comments to the minis and naming the Chapter as requested. Oh, and try not to double post either. :blink: Cheers, -Kal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImperialTemplari Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hey guys, thanks for all your input, I've nearly finished these 2 just need to do the weathering, then I'm thinking of doing a Dred, would like to convert it but not sure what I will be doing to it. Can anyone see any places for improvement, thanks for any comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 His face... there's something wrong with his face... ah that's it. It looks like a mask :D Seriously, you've made it look like a mask. Is that intentional?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Hi Hubernator, yes it was deliberately made to look like a mask, they technically are so mechanically enhanced that they could operate without a face, but they keep their face to cling to their last strands of humanity. Think cyborg/vampire trying not to be bad but failing miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zotias Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Look amazing matey. How many of these guys are you planning on doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hey Zotias, to be honest I don't have time to play 40K, I just paint the figures, however I like making whole armies so my list is really only driven by the figures I want to paint not by a good playable army, I will do chapter master plus HQ (libby, apoth, standard bearer) ( might give these jump pack but not sure if I can give a libby a jump pack) 5 honour guard jump packs 5 veteran assault marine in jump packs 10 man assault squad in jump packs 9 death company jump packs 1 chaplain jump pack 10 man tac squad (might give them a rhino) 10 man devastator squad 1 maybe 2 dreads 1 land speeder 10 scouts maybe some bikes What do you think of this list?

ImperialTemplari Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hey guys, well finally finished the Vet sergeant, I'm a little worried I have bitten of more than I can chew, these marines will take a long time to make, but it is fun so I will persist, please let me know what you think.

ImperialTemplari Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 Thanks for all the comments and help guys, :P I will be choosing the name Lamenting Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialTemplari Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 well I thought I had finished the vet sergeant, but decided to add some free hand to the tabard and do some more work on the face, also have finished the chaplain, let me know what you think.

ImperialTemplari Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Hi guys, the Lamenting Angels are an ever evolving concept, I have decided to make them feel a little more aligned with the ADMECH so are giving them more Iron hands type bling, am working on a 5 man termie squad here are the first 2, these are very work in progress, there will be a fare bit of GS, my main concern is, do the bionics look to uniform? should I try to have them each looking different? should the bionics look busier?please let me know what you think. the chaos termie is just for size comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schreibs Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Everything looks really cool. I like the idea of the marines that have been fighting for centuries and it makes sense with any chapter's fluff really. I'm really excited to see what you do with an apothecary there are some serious conversion opportunities there for you with these bionic limbs!

Angelfire Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Whoa. I love the concept. Really. Excellent sculpts, especially that one with the face falling off, and good custom bionics. I look forward to seeing more from this army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 The bionics on the termis do look a bit too uniform, as is it gives the impression of a new model of armour. However sir, i believe you have just exposed a new way of making true-scale terminators! Anyway... some variety in the bionics on the termis would make them visually more attractive yet i feel that your chapter would probably bulk manufacture hundreds of the same models out of convenience and use the same on all of the marines (it makes sense).

Brother Caedrius Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Very impressive! the paint job on your Chappie is excellent! Really digging the fluff, will be keeping an eye on this thread to see what else comes along! I especially liked the modelling of the guys stretched face, reminded me of something from a Clive Barker film/book/comic Keep up the good work!
