Ole Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have some marine guys from the AoBR box and I'm frankly sick of painting Blood Angels. So if you could name some chapters, I'd love some obscure ones with funny colours, please do. I will of course post pics and get my behind in gear!

Gyson_Vore Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I agree with the legion idea, though you would have to pick loyalist or traitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veldrik Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I had about 3 days to paint an army from scratch (some were space wolves, repainted them) for a game. bunch of new boxes and a bunch of long fangs and grey hunters. new army theme - Inquisition - Xenos basically black, with a silver left arm, silver left shoulder pad, and the right shoulder bears an original chapter patch. eg space wolves or dark angels etc,. lets me paint an army fast, and still have a bit of fun sculpting on death watch on the left shoulder out of greenstuff, and either greenstuffing, transfering or hand painting on the right shoulder pads. and again, its fast :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Some pre-heresy marines would be cool. I might just do that.. Minotaurs look strangely enticing... and pretty silly. Brazen Claws are pretty cool, so yeah.. How about some chapters that aren't RED? I was thinkking maybe Mortificators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poisonfrog Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 two different schemes The knights Gryphonne, and the dark hands oi oi oi frog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDR Grendelwulf Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Because I am terrible at doing heraldry and decals, I looked to GW for their metal shoulder pads. I am working on a Deathwatch force and needed many to work with. But these pads also lend themselves to a good variety of colour schemes: Blood Angel pad Blood Angels, Angels Encarmine, Angels Vermillian, Blood Ravens Eagle Warrior pad Eagle Warriors, Angels of Absolution, Angels Porphyr, Black Wings, Dark Eagles, Emperors Hawks Imperial Fist pad Imperial Fists, Crimson Fists, Fire Lords, Subjugators Mentor pad Mentors, Black Consuls, Raptors, Raptors-Badab, Warrior Adepts, White Consuls Ciao, CDR Grendelwulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDR Grendelwulf Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 continued... Silver Skull pad Silver Skulls, Death Knights, Mortifactors, Red Hunters Space Wolf Ragnar pad Space Wolves, Lion Warriors, Red Wolves, Tigers Argent, White Panthers if you have some of the ol' crossed-swords assault pads: Emperors Warbringers, Guardians of the Covenant, Sable Swords http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Grendelwulf/GCA2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think 10 pre heresy legions are a good idea, or if you want them to all be new marines, fiddle with the marine painter until you get some nice colour schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ole Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 I think I've decided on 10 "regular" marines. That would be nonpre-heresy nonchaos/renegade chapters. Brazen Claws red/blue Mortificators bone/black White Panthers (COOL) black/white Knights of Gryphonne orange Badab Raptors blue/yellow These are the ones I have for now. Please come with more suggestions (different colours would be cool)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 ...mine? lol It's greeeeen :) I'll be quiet now... Before I do, how about these: Aurora Chapter (green), Hawk Lords (pinky purple), Iron Knights (Silver with black), Eagle Warriors (blue/white half), Storm Lords (red/white half, yellow heads) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester_prince Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 You know what would be cool, if you did a collection of peoples own made up chapters, so you have a collection of your favorite custom marine schemes. you could let people post a picture of their scheme and you chose your favorites. Sorta a chapter approved type thing but Ole approved. Youd have your own collection of unique schemes and the people you choose would feel really honored. Just a suggestion, theres alot of custom chapters out there that are excelent. Ole's Hall of honour :P then you could add to it as you find more you like and as you get bored sick of painting red again. Just one rule, no Offical Chapters :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mike Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well, if you want inspiration look at 'How to paint Space Marines'. It has tonnes of inspiration. Some slightly odd chapters are the Relictors, the Blood Ravens, Excorcists (they are a bit odd, as they have tonnes of scouts). Red Templars maybe...

Ole Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Okay, here is what I've done so far: http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk15/OleSP/Warnolfi/DSCN1337.jpg A Knight of Gryphonne (supposed to be orange), a Blood Angel for comparison, and a purply/blue guy I've yet to determine a chapter for. http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk15/OleSP/Warnolfi/DSCN1348.jpg I'll do my best to keep painting and hopefully have 10 different marines. Comments and criticism appreciated! Ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
