Claws of the Lion Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I am extremely new to this hobby. My current progress has been messing around with painting techniques on the Battle for Magragge set. But, as is usual for me, I have huge ideas before the models are within my price range. My Chapter goes by the same name as my display name, Claws of the Lion. It is a Successor Chapter who's key feature is termies on bikes with lightning claws, and I'm shooting for a few squads of those in my army. Also, I hope to have a few dreadnaughts with at least one missile pod for long range attacks. question, is an all dreadnaught/termie/tank army even possible? :confused: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142451-wip-for-a-da-successor-chapter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Aeneas Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Yes it is possible to have an army consisting of Termies, Dreadnoughts and tanks. But you can't have termies on bikes. Your army might be something like this Beliel as an HQ Dreadnoughts as elites Termies for troops Tanks for Heavy Support.

The Termies-on-bikes thing came from this one guy who modeled a techmarine onto a bike. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142451-wip-for-a-da-successor-chapter/#findComment-1648646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Color-scheme? Have you tried using the SM Painter for a visual conception of what you plan to do?

Skull_Lord Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Well it sounds like a nice idea, a little expensive, both in points and money, but i think it will look really impressive. For HQ's you should have a Belial Count-As, Dreadnoughts for Elites, Terminators as Troops and tanks for Heavy Support (like GM Aeneas said). This should be your base army, but it is a bit slow moving so i reccomend taking Ravenwing Attack squadrons and assault squads to build your army further, including a Librarian/Chaplain/Interrogator Chaplain with either Jump-Pack or Bike. Good luck (ps. sorry if this is obvius but you should get the Dark Angels Codex if you havent got it yet) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142451-wip-for-a-da-successor-chapter/#findComment-1648833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws of the Lion Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Is there a terminator painter available for use? I just can't get the termies on bikes out of my head, it's annoying that it isn't possible, meh. Ravenwing is a good idea, land speeders and bikes are my personal favorites.

Claws of the Lion Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Sweeeeeet. I think a slight variation on the bone scheme of normal termies, more tans, to make it look more like a lion.

Claws of the Lion Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 On a second thought, i think that i'll go with the method for bone white termies shown here: :http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/CH08_02MoF_005_A.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142451-wip-for-a-da-successor-chapter/#findComment-1649983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Linky no worky :P It comes up with "Page not Found". I'll do a pick for you. Tell me watcha want and I'll put it into the scheme :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142451-wip-for-a-da-successor-chapter/#findComment-1649990 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws of the Lion Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 i'm going for a bone white termie scheme, as this chapter is basically obsessed with the 'original' bone terminators who wiped out a genestealer invasion. I think i'm gonna go with a gold chest eagle, and green eyes as well.

Claws of the Lion Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Or to see the paint method I'll use, go to www.fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com, click on the subsection Master of the Forge, go to Painting the unforgiven, then find Painting masterclass deathwing.
