ironsons Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Well all of you with the current marine codex will see that this chapter is well dead. Seeing as I was repainting my old DIY chapter (funnily enough named the Emperors Swords) I thought I could prove that they are alive and kicking after they recieved their kicking. Without further ado here is my first WIP model: Captain Octavian C&C appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It's funny because the Emperor's Swords have been destroyed twice - they're destroyed by an insidious Alpha Legion plot in the Chaos Codex and now in the new Space Marine Codex they're destroyed again. Poor guys. (GW really needs some continuity at times!) That said, this looks to be a really nice scheme - the effect on the power fist is really nice.

Skull_Lord Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Nice scheme, i just love that model. One thing though, in my opinion, Octavia sounds more like a womans / girls name, so i suggest you call him Octavian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherDamascus Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yea, stick it to the man! ;) good on you for revitalising a chapter ;) and i gotta say, its a very nice scheme - nice painting on the 'fist :) in my opinion, Octavia sounds more like a womans / girls name, so i suggest you call him Octavian? gotta agree, Octavian suits the mini better :rolleyes: keep up the great work ironsons <<Damascus>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 The ending -a is commonly suggesting a female name/word, though not always. If you want to stick to Latin, it should be Octavius ^^ He looks good, though I don't recognise the model. Is it a conversion or some Games Day thing?

chaplainmikey Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Liking the scheme so far,never actually seen an emperors swords marine,so i'm interested as to how he'll end up looking. The skin looks great by the way,as does the white on the power fist! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys, I'll add some more piccies tomorrow including a WIP of a tactical squad. I will also change his name to be more masculine and less feminine. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Update: I see this force to be the survivors of the destruction at Besillicus so only will number around 50 - 100 models at the most and as such all models will have gauss damage done to them in a small way. Here is the beginning of my first Tactical Squad; Brother Tiberius: Brother Lucarian: Brother Marneus: C&C appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 is that the csm with assault weapon they used to sell in blister packs? good use! the colours look good, my monitors an old one, so its a tad dark, but it looks fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 It is indeed just with all the old Chaos icons removed. I will try to take some more photos soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hello a new update for ye, here I present you is my WIP for the Chapter Master for the Emperors Swords, Master Mathius in his terminator armour. I shall be using the marneus calgar rules to represent him but instead of power fists he will have dual thunder hammers which will obviously count as power fists and nowt else. So here he is: Mathius front: Mathius Back: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hello a new update for ye, here I present you is my WIP for the Chapter Master for the Emperors Swords, Master Mathius in his terminator armour. I shall be using the marneus calgar rules to represent him but instead of power fists he will have dual thunder hammers which will obviously count as power fists and nowt else. If you're gonna do that, my advice is to have shorter hafts on the hammers. It just looks very unwieldly when someone models their Chapter Master/Captian with two long-hafted thunder hammers.

st.germaine Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Love purple and green schemes. These shades work very well together. Gold trim also works well with this scheme if you haven't decided yet. Looking forward to seeing much more of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 ++UPDATE++ Sorry for not updating sooner I've had too many projects over the past couple of months and a holiday but I am back with some WIP's of my new assault squad. I will post pictures once I'm back from school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hello now is the time for actual models. My assault squad is in various stages of building ranging from complete models minus jump packs to just legs (about 7 models :P )as it is a proper sized unit. Also pictured is my WIP librarian usng an old DA model that was realeased as part of a long forgotten roadshow. And obviously the obligatory Sicarius model. Enough of me chat heres some pics: Assault Marine Seargent: Oooops just realised quite a blurry pic I'll try to get a better one for ya. Next is an assault marine with PP: Next is my Librarian: And Finally the torso of Sicarius: More Updates Later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 ++UPDATE++ Sorry for the lack of updates I have been bombarded with work and school, but now that I am on my Easter Holidays I can get back to my army. I have signed up for the Call of the Imperium as a form of motivation to get this army moderately finished. I promised to paint two tactical squads, one of which is the AOBR squad and the other a mish mash of other kits, a full assault squad led by a sergeant with lightning claws and finally a librarian. The eagle eyed member will realise that the model I am using for my librarian is a limited edition DA model used for a roadshow which names eludes me. I am going to blag the DA insignia as my Librariums insignia as I didn't have the heart to change the model. Enjoy: Front: Back: Sorry that the pictures are to dark the sun went in and its all cloudy now :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 +++++UPDATE+++++ Here is my next update for the COI III and it appears to be going quite slow unfortunately so I've got to get my act into gear. Enough of my rambles here is the updates. First to be shown is the librarian and a tactical squad with an alternate heavy weapon. I have also put in close ups of the sergeant and the plasma gunner. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironsons Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 +++++UPDATE+++++ Me again, here is an update of one of my Emperors Sword's tactical marines. You may look at him and question why a bog standard tactical marine has white shoulder pads well heres the story. When I first saw the fact that my DIY Chapter is now dead I thought I might as well have an army that has somehow managed to survive the onslaught hence the extensive battle damage. Well according to the fluff I am making up a marine will have the rims of a shoulder pauldron paintedwhite with each successive award and the marine in this situation has recieved two marksmen awards whilst defending a hive on the homeworldof Basillicus. So to further enhance this fact he will be armed with a bolter with a silencer and possibly another small weapon which may or may not be a nice looking combat knife. Here are the pictures. sorry the pictures appear to be dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
