Annunsi Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 So after being away from the hobby for about 6 years I've decided to start playing again. Problem is, I have a concept for my army, but I can't decide if I should make them loyal, chaos, or renegade. Which brings me to this forum. I figured if I show you guys my concept drawing maybe you could help me out. so here it is.. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/nekhar/AnnunsiMarine.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161300-oldnew-player-with-a-concept-ideanew-design-added/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 That is a great concept sketch, great modeling potential. Mabey try making a few test models to see which way your leaning and then choose. If you are going to go all out with conversions, you could make them in a way where they could fit with both the SM codex and the CSM codex. Thats what I'm doing for my legion of the damned army.

Drac0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd make them loyalists. Probably a White Scars successor chapter. As said, great sketch with lots of modeling potential.

Bloodstone Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Looks more Chaosy to me than Loyalist. Maybe i would make them a Khornate worshipping chapter.

Lord_Caldera Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I spy Afro Samurai killing nids with their own legs...Maybe a SW successor fighting on the Eastern Fringes?

Annunsi Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hmmm, Khorne, I've actually never played the psycho killers(used to be a huge Slaanesh follower). That could be fun. I am leaning more toward making them Chaos rather than Loyalist. I'll have to read my Chaos codex again and make up my mind.

Alpha PTP Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 It looks like the love-child of Afro Samurai and Ichigo from Bleach. :) I really love it, but it is going to be rather hard to stick to the concept truly. You would have to build of the parts from scratch. I say loyalists. Loyalists can look however they want to... they just have to praise the Emperor and have a few purity seals on them. :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161300-oldnew-player-with-a-concept-ideanew-design-added/#findComment-1893607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low_K Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I'd say they look more like Chaos followers. Maybe Kroot descendant/kroot corrupted ones. Conversion-wise you could go with (Chaos)Space Marine legs, with the left arm and shoulderpad from the (Chaos) Marines and a WHF beastmen/Kroot torso and head. The right arm could also be from the WHF Beastmen range. Looking forward to seeing them realised! Great artwork btw!

Scout Sniper Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Nice Art! To me they just scream chaos, they're pointy and mutated which is pretty much chaos' thing... old, pointy and mutated = chaos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161300-oldnew-player-with-a-concept-ideanew-design-added/#findComment-1893683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annunsi Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wow Low_K, you picked the exact models that I had in mind when I designed him. I had thought of using DE Wych male torsos, but I don't wanna go thru all the filing to re-sculpt them back up. I think the Beastmen will fit perfectly. If I remember the sizing right, they'll still give me them slightly leaner look that I'm after. Everything else will be greenstuffed. BTW, if you guys like this pic, wait til I'm finished with the design for the Lord. He;ll be a lord because I've decided to make them Khorne followers, just cause whenever I get a chance to field them once I'm done, my lord will be able to get like 17-18 attacks, that just sounds insane, risky but insane. Any who, back to drawing.

Drac0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Why not use catachan torsos / arms, seems easier to do than using DE.

Annunsi Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Catachan torsos seem too bulky, I'm gonna use the Beastmen torsos most likely. The idea is that, they're armor should seem a lil bit over-sized and Catachan torsos are as thick as SM torsos, without armor no less. edit. Here's my Lord concept, I'll be using CSM Termy legs and left arm for him and the teeth on his cack are from a giant panther skull. I may do some slight mods to this design tho. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v652/nekhar/AnnunsiMarineLord.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/161300-oldnew-player-with-a-concept-ideanew-design-added/#findComment-1894258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
