Zamar Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 You could just do different colours for different squads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I think the red looks very nice, but the blue looks equally great. I agree with the above, why not have veterans in red or something similar. As long as you tie the red and the blue together e.g. purity seals then it's be fine.

Anwolf Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I like the blue shoulder pads, but if u make the red brighter it might look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rognvaldr Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 hi all, well after a long break back at painting again. i decided on the red, and im happy with it. first is an almost complete tactical squad. this is the level i want to paint them all to before i go back and do highlighting as im so slow and i want a playable painted army asap. next is some more tacticals that are almost to the above level. next is my first dreadnaught ever! im quite happy with how he is turning out. still a WIP. last is my plastic chappy WIP. i know he looks alot like the metal chappy with jump pack, pose wise anyway, but i like 'em! anyway thx for looking!

Rognvaldr Posted April 30, 2010 Author Share Posted April 30, 2010 Hey gang, well im like 95% sure of what i want to name my chapter... "The Ironbloods"! Chapter motto would be something like "Blood for Iron, Iron for Blood" maybe. They are a codex chapter. Maybe Imperial Fists successors, or Raven Guard... doesnt realy matter i guess. The idea is they were made to guard an area where there are alot of forgeworlds, maybe even their home planet is one... like Vostroya area or something... so they do alot of urban/siege fighting. Just some loose theme ideas... i plan on feilding alot of dreads, probobly a master of the forge, but not strictly limited as they are "codex". if they have a forgeworld homeworld then they have access to alot of gear. anywayy....ive been messing around trying to figure out what i want for my chapter symbol. i came up with all this, i know they are all very close, but im having trouble narrowing it down. Any that stand out specificly to you guys that would be good? I was going good untill i showed someone and they were like "beware of falling anvil?" and then i realized the blood drops look like "falling lines". Anyway... keep in mind the light grey is supposed to be metallic silver. Thx for lookin' what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rognvaldr Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hi folks, well i after asking the friends i think im in agreement that the first one i made (top left corner) is the best one. Now my only problem is that im starting to feel like the having the blood drop in there is just too blood angel-y. I defiantly don't want them as blood angel successors. An older choice was to have a warhammer on a shield and name them the ironhammers or something close to that.. what do you guys think? Is the blood drop just too blood angely? got any ideas on how to show the blood aspect without a blood drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 i like the iron hammers, that sounds pretty cool. Yea blood drop is pretty blood angely. If you go with the hammer u can use a lot of fantasy empire bitz to dress up your guys, you know since they use the hammer motif a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevink Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 You could always reverse the blood drop, but then again with all the new Blood Angel stuff coming out there are plenty of options you have for conversions. I remember Midian's marines used the Dark Angel shoulders but still retained his own flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Anvilus Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Definatly use an Anvil...but I'm biased :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rognvaldr Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Yeah im quite partial to the anvil myself. i found another guy whos's using the Iron Hammers name so i think ill stick with Ironbloods. I think what i will do is make the anvil red and the blood drop metallic. I think it makes it less blood angel-y just enough, plus its kinda like "iron-blood".

larundel Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Well i was going to say i like the blue cos it goes against the grey and black really well, but i got to agree with some people that the red looks alot better and will really make your marines stand out. As a lot of people say these marines are nice, clean and crisp. cant wait to see more going from the group shot. I also have to agree that i think the top left hand corner symbol will look ace on the shoulder pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rognvaldr Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 hiya, slowly picking away at my models here are a duo of powerfist tac sgt's that are just primary colored and washed. And here is a Dev sgt that ive just put togeather. Mostly ive been plugging away at putting models togeather. Here are some pics of stuff at various stages. Magnitized Pred and Vindi Various infantry and a old speeder my buddy had that he gave me. And my 2 rhinos that will be my first foray into airbrushing(besides base coating). They already have a base coat of adeptus battlegrey. im also working on putting togeather an ironclad dread and a ven dread. man, having so many options for the ven dread is horrible for someone who is as bad at making decisions as me! they all look so awesome!!!
