brother varen Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Tagsta, what other bits from other sets did you use for the army? Just curious on how you see the Marines Malevolent. Are you following the limited cannon fluff from GW and the book "Salamander"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagsta Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Tagsta, what other bits from other sets did you use for the army? Just curious on how you see the Marines Malevolent. Are you following the limited cannon fluff from GW and the book "Salamander"? frankly i didnt read through the whole book salamander.. if you want to spoiler the end, go ahead I will probably don't read through. I will probably follow GW's fluff properly and the book loosely for example the fact that the MM follow the restrictions on the council of nikaea I will ignore but I will include tons of older pattern armour to show that the chapter is very old.. bits are very mixed from the whole marine range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 its been a few months since i read it, but i'll see if i recall all the M bits. those that plan to read Salamander, dont continue reading, or you'll get the runs. you have been warned. third of the way into the book: the MM meet up with the salamanders on a lost admech vessel carrying unpainted, unclaimed 'aquila' mark armor, rows upon rows of prestine bolt guns, heavy bolters, missile launchers, lascannons, entire crates filled with munitions set beside the racks of heavy weapons. the MM are wearing mismatched haphazardly put together armor of various older marks; not one of them newer than a mark V suit. their bolters still use the old drum-fed clips, which were abandoned because of their tendency to jam under continuous fire, and their helmets cannot mag-lock to their waists like the salamanders newer marks can. when asked about the condition of their armour, one responds that the armor is made of the salvaged parts of their fallen brothers and in their eyes it honors their dead. but their scavenger mentality and being unwilling the leave the dead in peace with their battle gear sits unwell with some of the salamander contingent. later, when its found that the armour that was meant for who-knows-what chapter is the goal of the MM, the slamanders deny them of it saying they will take stewardship of the equipment, return it to the admech, and let them deal with re-shipping it to its proper owners. the MM however, refuse to abide this and make off with a large pallet of gear via teleport. later near the end of the book: the MM "conveniently" come to the rescue of the salamanders 3rd company and help repair their damaged ship drives before the planet explodes; on the condition they're given ALL of the gear that was on the admech ship. having not choice but to agree or die there, 3rd company agrees. the MM follow them to nocturne, where their captain speaks with the chapter master tu'shan, who tells him his methods of getting the gear bad are dishonourable, and that he highly doubts the just happened to pass by and feels its more likely they stalked 3rd company's vessel for a chance to steal the gear back and are using the salamanders honor to uphold their word to get what he wants. he also tells him he's made a dangerous enemy of the salamanders and risks being treated as renegades for their actions, and then gives them the rest of the equipment that was on the ship, which is enough to update at least a company or more of MM. this section near the end of the book where tu'shan talks to this captain, and earlier when the salamanders are talking to the MM on the admech ship, and when the main character's teleported in front of this captain to talk before the smaller theft of the gear takes place are really good fluff bits to get a feel for how they're trying to describe how the MM have survived all these centuries on their older gear, and how they re-arm themselves since mars wont supply them. this could also give you fluff to build on about anti-admech relations with mars and give more possible conversion ideas to you if you feel like sitting down and exploring the cause and effect all of that has on the MM's gear, tactics, and mentality.

tagsta Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 :huh: What you on about? :huh: :D Oh i see what you mean now....just had a look round!! :rolleyes: I weathered my tanks using FW pigments.. turned out good! I will snap some shots tomorrow... I just don't know how to fix the pigments properly.. I might have to get myself some MIG pigment fixer /edit this section near the end of the book where tu'shan talks to this captain, and earlier when the salamanders are talking to the MM on the admech ship, and when the main character's teleported in front of this captain to talk before the smaller theft of the gear takes place are really good fluff bits to get a feel for how they're trying to describe how the MM have survived all these centuries on their older gear, and how they re-arm themselves since mars wont supply them. this could also give you fluff to build on about anti-admech relations with mars and give more possible conversion ideas to you if you feel like sitting down and exploring the cause and effect all of that has on the MM's gear, tactics, and mentality. thanks for summarizing up the bits of fluff from the book.. I will probably skim through the pages to find the parts you described... I don't think that the MM necessarily have anti-admech relations but there must be some kind of reason why they don't get resupplied... For me the explanation of a very old chapter with lots of relics works well enough =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother varen Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Tagsta, any more pictures of your company? Would like to see it all together in a picture. Are the symbols on the rhinos and whirlwinds decals? How do you do them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they decals and if so where to get them. Also how is the 5th company doing? Any new updates for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any new updates for them? i created the decals myself using various symbols from the decal range from the B&C download section i will post pictures as soon as i find time.. be patient please, the waiting will be worth it in the end... real life is very time consuming at the moment for me and I also have my BA side project for the next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagsta Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 update time! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/Marines%20Malevolent/IMG_2147.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/Marines%20Malevolent/IMG_2149.jpg 1st Company Terminator Squad.. Note the crouching brother to the very right. He is a junior member of the 1st company being only recently promoted to training in tactical dreadnought armour.. Hence he didn't earn his private heraldry yet.. the squad consists of 50% black reach terminators and 50% leftover bits... i think it's a really efficient way of saving money... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/Marines%20Malevolent/IMG_2150.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/Marines%20Malevolent/IMG_2152a.jpg I applied weathering powders to the land raider... some of the black and metal parts are still WIP but the tank itself is about 95% finished.. love the rust effect on the engine part... still have to get myself some pigment fixer to properly fix the pigments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brother varen Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 great work tagsta. I'll look in the download section again. I might have missed them before. How do you paint the vehicles? Do you paint them all yellow than paint the black areas. Or do you assemble and paint them seperatly? I ask because i picked up Army painter's color primer (daemonic yellow) and am trying to figure out the best approach to painting my vehicles. Any advice would be appreciated.

Vredesbyrd Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Always nice to see some of the less well known Chapters getting some love, especially when they're this well painted. I really like the switching round you've done with the Multimelta and Heavy Bolter on the Land Raider and the First Sergeant looks ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusader of Dorn Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The terminators look good in MM colours, everything looks well painted. Perhaps you could colour the studs on the Mk5 armour for extra detail. Overall, they are bright for my taste but good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tagsta Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 update on the sergeant... still a bit glossy from the varnish keep in mind that this fella is still WIP http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/Tagsta/Warhammer40k/Marines%20Malevolent/Untitled-1.jpg /edit Always great to look over your work tagsta, you really have made this chapter your own.

Are you going to use any other FW kits or bolters? The mk5 looks great though. How is your army coming along? battle company is about 70% finished! expect some new pics soon! I have a set of oldschool bolters and I will swap the bolters of an existing squad to make the army look more "retro" The terminators look good in MM colours, everything looks well painted. Perhaps you could colour the studs on the Mk5 armour for extra detail. Overall, they are bright for my taste but good job. thanks! i thought about coloring the studs in silver but I think I will keep them silver!
