natsirtm Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 First new army after starting up again.. Planned to make a crusade army based on chapters linked through deathwatch members. Was originally planning to keep this army small before starting another chapter (small = AoBR only + deathwatch conversion) - however you need 2 troops selections at least, I lucked out and found one tac marine from the old Battle for Macragge set (so I could technically split into two 5 man bolter only squads using the extra + dw vet as a sergeant) but also bought one of each box of scouts (Scout pics coming when finished modeling extra camo cloaks) and a librarian to be able to round out to 1000 points. (Plus the Novamarines fluff mentions variant psykers so had to have one) Most everything from AoBR is stock so won't bother with pics until painted. I do however have some pics of my deathwatch conversion (the first of many!). http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20deathwatch%20w%20power%20sword%20-%20front.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20deathwatch%20w%20power%20sword%20-%20left.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20deathwatch%20w%20power%20sword%20-%20right.jpg Uses the dw bolter, helmeted head, metal shoulder pad + Asmodai's power sword arm + plastics. ps. lemme know if i need to reduce the size of the pics.

MrGotDice Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I gotta say, I like the pose, but there is alot of mold lines that I see and he DEFINITELY need to be resprayed.

natsirtm Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 I gotta say, I like the pose, but there is alot of mold lines that I see and he DEFINITELY need to be resprayed. No doubt - I actually only remembered to take pics after spraying the back. I like to use the spray to catch any last mold lines.

Brother Richard Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Nice start on the Cpt., this model is interesting with all the details and options of painting, so I am waiting to see how others pick the highlights and really bring the piece to life. I think you are well on the way. Only comment would be the chalky look on the blue shoulder pad - from your primer? Can't wait to see this team come together.

natsirtm Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Just placed 3rd in a mini tourney. Also scored 7 points in a 'tale of 4 gamers' type competition. Need decal solvent to add chapter decals to tactical squad. Planning to paint the AoBR dread and a scout squad for next month's TO4G. Will try to get some more pics soon.

natsirtm Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 OK, i'm back with some photos/updates. First the updated Captain piccy.. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20captain%20w%20power%20sword%20-%20front%20updated.jpg Next some tactical squad shots.. I tried to use model parts to unify these guys. For eg. all the bolters have either a scope if they go in the ranged/heavy combat squad or straps if they go in the close/special combat squad. Have one extra bolter guy and with the deathwatch sergeant could actually take as 2 5 man squads (no special/heavys). http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20full%20tac1.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20full%20tac1%20with%20options.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%205man%20tac1%20close.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%205man%20tac2%20range.jpg Finally a couple pics of the dreadnought. I especially like the crushed tree under his left foot. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20dreadnought.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20dreadnought%20-%20crushed%20tree.jpg C&C welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150236-novamarines-wip/#findComment-1790812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
natsirtm Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Some of the pics have been updated - look at earlier posts. Including some close ups of tac squad & better dreadnought pics. Some new pics. Just missing 5 other scouts and a libby. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20group%20shot.jpg Including bonus AoBR termie from WD converted with Heavy Flamer (in progress) as well as objective marker. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20termies.jpg A painted shot of the deathwatch guy. Still to highlight armour and do power sword plus last bit of heraldry. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20deathwatch%20w%20power%20sword%20-%20paintedbase.jpg The ranged scouts. Bolter with GW camo cloak body can be used as regular bolter scout, sergeant with bolter or telion. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20scouts%20ranged.jpg Some close ups of the crawling scout I made with the extra body. Not the best but definitely gave me some ideas for other stuff. http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20crawling%20scout-left.jpg http://www.netxecute.com/b&c/novamarine%20crawling%20scout-right.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150236-novamarines-wip/#findComment-1810359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khrangar Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Congrats on the win, it's a nice looking army. I like the librarian's staff, glad you found the bit.
