Greycloak Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yes, the first Space Marine army I ever started five years ago. By the time I did my first couple of models, I didn't know the guys had black skin and I'm quite happy with how the faces are so I'm gonna stick with this skintone. Sorry. So every once in a while I paint like 12 Marines to bulk out existing squads. This army is also kinda WIP since the new rules force me to make some changes (you'll notice the high amount of assault weaponry) so squads are a bit small and the Command squad is incomplete. I'll start with making more Tactical Marines as soon as I've finished a Rhino for my Templars and a squad of Grey Knight Terminators. The whole army http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404464.jpg Assault squad 1 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404465.jpg Assault squad 2 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404466.jpg Devastator squad http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404467.jpg Tactical squad 1 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404468.jpg Tactical squad 2 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404469.jpg Tactical squad 3 http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404470.jpg Captain with Command squad http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404471.jpg Terminator squad http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404472.jpg Dreadnought http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404473.jpg Librarian with servoskull and personal Rhino (command squad follows...) http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404474.jpg Predator Annihilator http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404475.jpg Latest addition to my Sergeants http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404476.jpg Assault Sergeant with loads of bling (I just had to make at least one Marine bedecked in gold...) http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404477.jpg Captain, close up http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e50/Greycloak321/SA404478.jpg Well, let me know. What would you guys add besides more Tacticals, what details should I improve on etc etc..? Thanx and hope you enjoy both my armies. (By the way as soon as I have a decent number of Templars I'll also make a thread for them.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewolf74727 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 i can safly say they look cool i like all the extra bits (ammo box and sevro skull) all help to make the army stand out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycloak Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 I added the ammo box as an objective marker and was soooo happy the skulls come as a present in the Devastator box set. (By the way, all Devs in my army are metal. I really hate the Lascannon since he's prone to falling on his barrel due to the high weight.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewolf74727 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 have you tried putting lead in the base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycloak Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Yep, there is enough in there to keep the guy steady. As long as you put your cup of tea on the table in a gentle way he's alright. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherAtrox Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Very nice! I like that you've added that Armageddon campaign badge in there, looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycloak Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Very nice! I like that you've added that Armageddon campaign badge in there, looks awesome. Ha, so you noticed! I also put that Campaign Badge on a couple of other flags (small to very small) and as soon as I can get my hands on my mate's printer I'll definitely be printing quite a few more badges to put on kneepads and such. My Templar Army also features loads of Armageddon badges to tie the two armies together. (You know, the white shield with a diagonal red stripe from the lower left to the upper right corner).

HJL Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 really nice models, it looks like the new sm codex has screwed with you terminatot squad a little though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Nice stuff, I can see someone is a fan of the beaky helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greycloak Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Nice stuff, I can see someone is a fan of the beaky helmets. Absolutely. My Templars are not getting any (I want to give that army a "new Crusade" look, so only one squad of Assault Termies, one Dread, no veterans, no "old style" legs, only ones with kneepads) and my Space Wolves have loads of bare heads and Chaos helmets so there you go. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exhumed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 In a word- very very very nice. Okay perhaps more than a single word. Such is the multiplicating power of 'Manders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iago Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 very nice, I like the ammo crate. :P The flames on the predator are sweet looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
