CorinoFan Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 As the title says. I am retuning to the Hobby after a few years off. And I feel that need to dedicate myself to the building of an Army that I can use and is legal. So I decided on Space Marines. I already have 10 Tacticals and 5 Assault Marines plus that Dark Angels Librarian. All of whom were pathetically painted in Raven Guard Livery. Meaning that the they were painted Pathetically, rather than it was pathetic that they were Raven Guard. So I have the basis for a force that I can build from to make up an entire Battle Company just because it would be cool. I have been spending a few months lurking on a few Forums, to try and see if they inspire me to paint a force. I spent some time on the Lexicanium as I was thinking Celestial Lions since that is what I was thinking prior to Leaving the hobby in the first place. I looked through the list of Space Marine Chapters given there. And I was drawn to the Red Wolves by some bizzare reason, I liked the colour scheme. I also saw that noone had actually showcased a force of them in the Insignium Astartes style as far as my knowledge went. This prompted me to think along those lines even more. So I played around with the Space Marine Painter and gained a decent idea of the colours that I will need to get since almost all of my old paints are going to be starting to dry out despite no actual use in the past few years. This will bee a fairly slow log, but I feel I will be able to pull out a decent army out of this over time. I will be painting the fifth company because well, its not the 2nd. Ill probably attempt writing fluff for the chapter as well, as I have a good idea of what sounds cool, but it would be good if anyone could point to any official fluff for the Red Wolves that would be much appreciated.

CorinoFan Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 yeah as I said this would be slow. I have just gotten the Space Marine Battleforce box and the Space Marine commander box. And I have my older models soaking in simple green to start on the painting of it again. Ive also written a 1200 pt army list based on what I already have. So it shouldn't be long before the first lot of pictures go up. and a question, does anyone know of any official fluff for these guys, other than they are from the planet Bloodfall, because I want to gain a feel for the direction that I will be pushing this chapter thematically further than I already have.

CorinoFan Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Ill get it up as soon as the simple Green has done its job on the old figures while I clean up the new ones.

Mal Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 you'll need a symbol that really deviates from the blood angels to stop them looking like them, mabey those big skulls.... but it all depends on what you want to cell the chapter and what you want their personality to be... but well painted red marines look great (plus if im not mistaken, thats quite a bit lighter then your average blood angel) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145134-return-to-the-hobby-with-space-marine/#findComment-1777602 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorinoFan Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 as for the chapter name it is the Red Wolves. Red Wolves on the Lexicanum Im ignoring all of the fluff that isn't referenced because it makes little sense to go with that stuff since there is no official stuff to back that up.
