War Angel Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 so... the title and description preaty much sum it up. it all started with an idea of mine to make a chainsword bolter... it would look alot like a lancer. as befitting, the weapon could only truely be a relic blade, because in hand to hand, you would use TWO hands to use it. the weapon itself would have to be a bit longer... so it may need to be better then the average bolter... a storm bolter will suffice. marcus fenix would make a fun commpany commander to make... i ponder making him to look like on the cover of the game box, where he is holding the cog tags... but i think id prefer him holding his lancer patern bolter. baird would be easy... sculpt some greenstuff goggles on his head..yeah, that will look cool. and add some bleached blond hair. my brother was thinking he should be the aprothicary (but he really dosnt know what that means... he knows GOW, not 40K... he thought aprothicary's where tech's) so not really sure what he should be because i want this to be the command squad... Carmine... depending on how i do this... could be the two normal guys in the squad ( i get six... 5 for the command squad, one for the company commander. one aproticary, one company champion, and one guideon, so that leaves two normal guys) Carmine would probably have normal weapons/ special weapons? Dom could make a good aprothicary... thoughought the war he's always there to pic marcus up when hes down... not sure how i would go about custimizing him... Gus "Cole Train"- as suggested by my brother, he could make a good company champion. i would give him a boom shield and one of thoes swords that the "Butcher"'s had in the game. only he would be strong enough to hold that... if i was to do more then just the squad, baird would be the tech, although tech's usualy dont have the heads exposed... Wally could be the armored division sargeant. anya could be a liby, Tac the chaplan. well, what are youre guy's thoughts, and any sugestions on how to make some of these conversions?

kittenofdeath Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...=153265&hl= practice your search-fu (and it does make for an interesting idea) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162724-gears-of-war-command-squad/#findComment-1913444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBMAKENZIE Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Its nice to know Im noticed ^_^, for all of you impatiently waiting I will get back to the gears after my next little project (though xenos, it involves hive gangs and kroot mercs. I had a funds shortage issue that caused me to finish off something I already had everything for.) Well Figuring out your requirements then sloting them in would always be best... You need: Captain, Champion, Apothecary, 3 Faceless/Special Weapons. You have Specific Character wise to work with: Marcus, Dom, Carmine X4, Kim, Baird, Dizzy, Tai, the Colonel, Anya, The Cole Train. Personnally I would love to see: Captain: The Colonel Champion: Dizzy/Dom (Or a Duel Model Tai & Cole Tag Team) Apothecary: Marcus Standing Over (Covering/Protecting) Anya/Dom, while they tends to an Injured Soldier (Face Less). Baird: Sporting a Flamer Cole: Sporting a Power Fist Tai: Sporting a Power Fist Alternatively you could do something like: Captain: Marcus Champion: Dom Apothecary: All Four Carmines on one Base, 2 of them Already dropped dead. (I feel like Ablative Wound Carmine Model is the best option here.) Baird: Sporting a Flamer Cole: Sporting a Power Fist Tai: Sporting a Power Fist I could help more if you had a specific Outfit you were planning for your Commander & Squad.

Badaab Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 While I can understand the idea for using marines as the basis for a COG themed force, I would suggest that IG are a better fit for this idea.

Reyner Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Sounds very cool and something I've thought about doing quite a bit. But what there are 4 Carmines BOB?! I thought there were 3, unless this is mentioned in the book (that I still haven't picked up :lol:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162724-gears-of-war-command-squad/#findComment-1914397 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there were 3, unless this is mentioned in the book (that I still haven't picked up :huh:) Could be wrong but Ben says he has 2 more brothers in the service. Which makes A & B + ??? & ???, alternatively you could say Big Papa Carmine would make 4 :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162724-gears-of-war-command-squad/#findComment-1914409 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Good point :huh: He might have meant A. Carmine saying 2 brothers, might not know he died. I was thinking the team might work or even look better as a veteran squad or something, then you could have Marcus as squad leader and the others as squaddies. Give Cole the biggest weapons of course then give Baird auspex, but it's entirely up to you guys :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162724-gears-of-war-command-squad/#findComment-1914416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 There IS a model out there based on those guys. I'll take a look for it tomorrow, but it's pretty damned close to the original without being a direct copy (aka they did it just different enough to not get sued) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162724-gears-of-war-command-squad/#findComment-1914706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

War Angel Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 btw, if im not mistaken, he said "all four of us joined" and even if he said hes got two more brothers in the cog, he knew about his brother, dom said somthing about it...

Sangus Bane Chapter Master Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Your composition for the squad makes sense, but don't you need a standard bearer? maybe one of the carmine bros.? I just have to ask: are you going to build a centaur tank? or any other GoW vehicle? That would be kick ass! B) Good luck with the squad! :blink: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162724-gears-of-war-command-squad/#findComment-1933998 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really what tank has 4 wheels? only has a missle launcher? can only drvie the direction the turret is pointed? That has to be the worst tank ever devised!!!

BUT...(and here it comes...) it kicked ass. sure the controlls were crappy, it had normal tires and just a rocket launcher... but to hell with the controls that was the game, to hell with tires, just give it tracks then, to hell with just a single rocket launcher... give it a gazillioen las cannons if you want, if your building it you can do wathever you like...

(but is do agree it is rather dull for a tank ^_^ ) Why don't you just use that Veichle with the UV turret at the Gas Station, just change the UV Turret to something else - an Assault Cannon, maybe, or a Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter... Or be lame and use it as a run-of-the-mill LR or Razorback... And I think this is a really cool idea ^^ Good luck!
