Targol Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thank you very much, Magnus Thane, for all these informations. I'll digest all that, try to find the related codices and see what can fit with my low budget. For example, even if the GI allies is a great idea, I don't think I'll go that way because allies are not allowed in many tournaments (even if I never participate in one, I don't want to close that door) I already have 2 armies (Orks and SM) and I'm not sure I want to start a new one, even if it's in complement of my SM. I think scouts can be converted to make acceptable ninjas too. @nurglespuss => Yes, BA Codex is downlable too in french on French GW site. For the BT, only the Q&A are downloadable...

Targol Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 May I introduce you the second finished piece of my chapter "Brother Primus" (as he is the first one I built) : http://images0.hiboox.com/vignettes/4008/5fc965695feea8d28e487524a4482dd4.jpg http://images0.hiboox.com/vignettes/4008/b4ce61a0b8439c158bdd6debb4707b1f.jpg http://images0.hiboox.com/vignettes/4008/53cb7d80f968b98172648140d3bf57a0.jpg http://images4.hiboox.com/vignettes/4008/0a822b345b70d5c91bcd43baefedf061.jpg His friends will look like him except for the chest dragon that I'll reserve for HQ or special troops. It takes me too much time and doesn't help gluing the gun. helmet horns that exist in 4models for now. What do you think ? I think that's not to bad for table-top ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trajan Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 A very nice colour scheme, and theme!! They look intimidating and all out nasty. Great work. -Trajan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper.McGuirl Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Very cool! I like the look of the model, and think that an army would be seriously awesome looking. Is it board-legal to tell him to make himself some casts of his extra armor plates so he doesn't have to re-sculpt them every time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targol Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. Is it board-legal to tell him to make himself some casts of his extra armor plates so he doesn't have to re-sculpt them every time? Well, I'm not sure to understand well who is "him" (me ?). :P If so, you can talk directly to me, I won't bite you :) have a look at the WIP of "Brother primus", You'll see that you weren't alone to have that idea ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master SFDRF Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Very Nice i must say. Reeinforcing my idea that i should do some conversion on each of my Blood angels The samuari look has come out with your models, dont think it could have been done better.

Luy22 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 WOW! Of all the Samurai-themed chapters, these look the most awesome! Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 a very original army theme, brilliant armor too :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targol Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well, Tanks guys, such messages kick my lazy old a.. to continue even when feeling bored. For the moment, unfortunately, I don't have much to show. I'm converting and painting the other SM I need to have my 2 troops entries. As is, it's a quite repetitive work with not much new to be seen: I use my molds, make pennants and paint some new clip marines using Brother Primus as model. As soon as they will be finished I'll make a little family portrait for you, Guys. Thanks again for encouragement. Targol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targol Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 To thank you for these kind words a little WIP as a wink. I had a clip rocket launcher Marine from a painting set but really didn't like its left arm with the firing device. First because I think the trigger can be right handed, second because I found this arm badly sculpted and third, because It bothered me for sculpting the shoulder pad. So, I cut it and... well, look at him with a few of his friends at different stages of progress : http://images1.hiboox.com/vignettes/4108/f60916c0c737c8a7a8eb75fe646c5a1a.jpg http://images1.hiboox.com/vignettes/4108/210fe4b3d30cf48afaaecebc473308df.jpg http://images1.hiboox.com/vignettes/4108/802c85402968388486406420160bcd8c.jpg It's not GD but I found it cool to convert. ... and, yes, I know, the new arm is a little bit to short :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Targol Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi all, I didn't posted since a while but worked a bit on my Dragons sons. Today, I discovered the "super macro" feature of my camera and wanted to try : http://images2.hiboox.com/vignettes/4208/27492735425200d59d689ad0d730a02b.jpg http://images2.hiboox.com/vignettes/4208/b0a682563adfa15412fd43aa51d78904.jpg Not very amazing, but it was just to let you know I'm still alive :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julio Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 They're absolutely fabulous. My only criticism is that the guns don't fit the style, something needs to be done to the bolters to shift them into a medieval style. Perhaps bayonets?

Elegaic Requiem Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 bayonets would be good, you could try the sarissa option from witch hunters if you dont mind the diy rule bending involved. you could also take blood angels with assault marines as troops, and thus have katana wielding marines running rampant. also, he'stan (counts as) would get the most out of any flamers you fielded. this is an idea i toyed with: samurai marines is just too cool an idea.

Targol Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi there !!! A quick word just to say you I'm still alive and (slowly) working on a commander for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenCrute Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Paintjobs look like they could use some inks/washes- there's very little definition in the yellow areas, and not much more in the brown. Get a brown-coloured wash and put it into the recesses and lines in the armour- makes them look much better. Otherwise, nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Loving your work, never had the talent to do that myself (or time) im keeping watch to see your progress :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targol Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks all for your appreciations. :) Paintjobs look like they could use some inks/washes- there's very little definition in the yellow areas, and not much more in the brown. Get a brown-coloured wash and put it into the recesses and lines in the armour- makes them look much better. Otherwise, nicely done! You're totally right. I'm learning to paint on these guys and currently reading an excellent book from a French guy (Jeremy Bonamant Teboul) called "Le grand livre de la peinture sur figurines" (could be translated by "Great book of figurines painting") in which I learn plenty useful things. By the way, I don't think I 'll do more work on the figs already done for the moment (I'd like to paint at least 750pts to play with them before) but I hope that the following ones will be better and better.

Freakiq Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ooh a japanese style army without anime referenses, nicely painted too, I like. ;) I agree with the earlier poster who mentioned using the Black Templars' rules, I think the vows of honour and close combat skills would fit this army perfectly.

Targol Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 My commander is now finished (at least, I won't be too ashamed to put it on a play table).
