Khrangar Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 I had a spare AoBR Sergeant that I wanted to replace my old Sergeant with so that he's more in line with the rest of the other Sergeants, so I did a quick conversion on him. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/s1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/s2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/s3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/s4.jpg I simply removed the inner part of the shoulder pad, cut the trim off the one I wanted, and glued the two together. Need to fill some gaps but other than that, it's pretty simple and effective.

A17roolz Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I really like that idea of cutting the inner parts of one shoulder pad and replacing it with another. Might have to bare that tip in mind ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-2141492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrus Manus Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Can we put your bone tutorial in the Librarium? Nice conversion on the Sergeant by the way.

Khrangar Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 @A17roolz: I've been wanting to do it for a while now but didn't have the guts to until last night. You just need to take small parts of the pad out at a time so you don't wreck the trim. @Ferrus Manus: Go right ahead :) . More updates tonight.

Khrangar Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Managed to mostly get the 6 marines done. Need to do their backpacks and then they're done. I still need to do the Missile Launchers and backpacks for the other 2 marines and then the 2 squads are done. After that, it's on to 5 terminators. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/n2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/n1.jpg Khrangar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-2142545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Loring Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I'm really loving this thread/blog. I love what you've done with the AoBR set. Do you have much left to paint after finishing the set?? Can't wait to see the army pic!

Captain Mike Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I be eyein this with pleasure. The bone is good, even if it takes a while. Ever considered using dheneb stone? 2 thin downed layers of that covers black okay. But what you've done is niiice.

Khrangar Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 @Brother Loring: I've painted up 2 sets of AoBR minus the Captains. I've got a fair bit left to paint though. Command Squad, 10 Vanguard, 5 Assault Marines, 9 more AoBR Marines for another tactical squad and maybe a bit more. @Captain Mike: How I paint bone now is quick enough I figure and don't exactly want to change schemes half way through. Thanks though. I managed to finish off my last terminator: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/q1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/q2.jpg Which means that I have taken an army pic of what's painted so far. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/q3.jpg Khrangar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/145914-the-emperors-word-space-marines/page/6/#findComment-2146174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 They look awesome as combined force! Definitely keep the same paint scheme. Can't wait to see the vanguard, they're awesome models! Command squad will look pretty cool too! I'd like to see your chapter mater/belial rocking with some assault termies!

Master Gabriel Macleod Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 These are one of the best painted models around. I love the bone and purple it's just awesome dude. Also like Brother Loring siad I also can't wait to see your command squad, vanguard, assault squad and anything else your planned on painting. So keep up the good work dude. They all look great.

Khrangar Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have a Command Squad, 10 Man Vanguard Squad, 10 Man Tactical Squad, Venerable Dreadnought, Terminator Sergeant, Captain, 4 Assault Marines, and maybe a bit more to do. Here's what I've got done so far.

Khrangar Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Small update. Lots more on the way but this is the only model for now that's completely painted.

Brother Loring Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Your termie sergeant is nice I like him! The black tassels work well, but personally I'm not overly convinced on the black tabards. The white of the apothecary does clash with the bone a bit, but I don't think that is to much a problem. He will be in your command squad and he'll stick out a bit - Is suppose that is what they're supposed to do!

Khrangar Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 The tabards aren't painted that great, I admit, but I think they'll do for now until I choose to redo most of the black cloth in the army. Also, I managed to get a fair bit done today. Command Squad http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/cm1-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/cm2-1.jpg Tactical Squad http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/cm4-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/cm5.jpg Captain http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/cm3-1.jpg I still have to paint the guns/backpacks for the tactical marines, the captain, and a 5th member of the command squad by Sunday.

Brother Loring Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The command squad look excellent. I really like the company champion. Did you take his legs from a model with a thunder hammer (veteran or captain). The apothecary looks much better as part of a unit. Marines as beautifully regimented as always! Keep it up! Do you have your first battle on Sunday then?? I think they'll look awesome when fielded!

Khrangar Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 @Brother Loring: I took the body from that model as the torso and legs are attached. 2nd game. First one was last weekend. I managed to get more done last night, but my computer was being dumb so I could only upload them now. Here's the Captain done: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ban2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ban3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ban4.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ban5.jpg And the banner up to where I have it: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/ban1.jpg Still need some ideas on the banner.

Khrangar Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 I finished the Assault Marine Sergeant today and started on some Sternguard. Sergeant: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/sg4.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/sg5.jpg Exorcists Deathwatch Sternguard: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/sg2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/sg3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Khrangar/Emperors%20Word/sg1.jpg I'd like to go with older marked armour for this one squad but I'm not convinced about the head on this particular model. I might switch it out for a bare head. I plan to have a couple squads of Deathwatch Sternguard and having a theme in the squads themselves, possibly having an Emperor's Word marine leading each squad. I'd like to have one squad based on Badab War chapters and the other on Third War for Armageddon chapters. So far for the Badab Marines I have: Mantis Warriors, Lamenters, Executioners, Space Sharks, Star Phantoms, Red Scorpions, and Exorcists. I realize that some of them fought on opposite sides, but I figure it'll make for a good rivalry or something in the squad. And for the Armageddon Marines I have: Sons of Guilliman (a little homage to my other marines), Angels Porphyr, Blood Angels, and Mortifactors. In both cases, I need more members and modular pads to represent the other chapters. Help on this would be appreciated, even in just saying which set has which pad.
