AngryJohnny Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Here is the first test model for another DIY chapter I'm working on. They are a Raven Guard Successor called the Falcons of Kiavahr. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/FoK_001.jpghttp://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/FoK_002.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/FoK_003.jpghttp://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/FoK_004.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Gabriel Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 *GASP* BROWN MARINES?! but jokes aside, interesting colour scheme. are you going to be putting squad markings on the knee pads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 *GASP* BROWN MARINES?! but jokes aside, interesting colour scheme. are you going to be putting squad markings on the knee pads? The black knee pad is going to have a white number representing the company they're from. The typical squad markings will be on the marines right shoulder in white & the chapter badge will be on the marines left shoulder in white. I don't get the joke though...

St.Gabriel Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 *GASP* BROWN MARINES?! I don't get the joke though... there was been a long standing stigma about painting brown marines. Not there is anything wrong with it (some B&C members have beautifully pained brown marines) it's just a running joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Legion Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is it brown or desert yellow? Cause that would make for a cool camo. U.S. SPACE MARINES! There is only one thing I don't think matches well, and that is the red straps. Just not a fan of it. If you can make it bright white. The rest is great.

AngryJohnny Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 The armor is tan/khaki & the straps are actually a leather color. The pictures don't show the colors properly I'm afraid. I'll see if I can get a better picture of it up. I think I might changes the straps to a steel/gray color. But this is how it's supposed to look: http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/Other%20SMP/Falcons-of-Kiavahr_002.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF4i Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I really like it. Very unique, and the khaki/black works, for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Legion Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 yeah that would look great. There you go. Congratulations, you have a nice looking army on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryJohnny Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thanks for the comments on the scheme guys! I really appreciate it. This army will have to wait until my current Chapter is finished. I just wanted to paint up a test mini to get away from the green. Here's a better picture that shows the leather color on the Jump Pack straps. I still think I should change it to a gray/steel color. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb176/AngryJohnnyWH40K/WIP/FoK_005.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF4i Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Lookin good man. Always remember, if you like the scheme, then maybe they won't bash it when you're shoving that big brown unit up their arse. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulrikk Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Congratulations, it seems your Falcons have a sister chapter. :( It's a bit funny, yesterday I was paining up my own test marine. I was very surpriced when I saw this thread and realised that your marine looks quite a lot like mine. The only differences are the color nuances and that my chest eagle is dark, not grey. I was even thinking of making mine a Raven Guard successor too. :nuke: I'll post my own test marine when it's finished, but until then you can see my idea from the SM painter. P.S.: Your marine looks really good. Keep up the good work. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hell5AnGeL Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I like the scheme mate, I think the brown though does make it look a little "tau" but that is not a bad thing. I would like to see a squad of these painted iH3ll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
