Widowmaker Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Alrighty then.... So, it's been a while, but I have some updates... a Landraider, my Harbinger Squad (Raptors) and a Greater Daemon (cos Harbinger's have to precede something, right?) There about 95% finished, but close enough for government work. Land Raider - The Knight of Caliban http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Games%20Workshop/Warhammer%2040K/Chaos/Marines/Fallen/Fallen%203rd%20Company/P1030186.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Games%20Workshop/Warhammer%2040K/Chaos/Marines/Fallen/Fallen%203rd%20Company/P1030184.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Games%20Workshop/Warhammer%2040K/Chaos/Marines/Fallen/Fallen%203rd%20Company/P1030185.jpg Harbinger Squad My fluff behind these is that they were one of the first squads to turn to Chaos. They held to an old Calibanite superstition that said Angels and Daemons were one and the same... the guardian angel who protects you is the daemon that your opponent fears... and so they decorated their wargear in either angelic or terrifying manners. After they fell, they encountered to Greater Daemon Tch'Aaron who started to prey on this belief, finally twisting it, and them, into the Raptors you see now.

I went back and forth on the Astorath model... I started with him 100% black, before painting him bone as you see him. Not 100% convinced. Any opinions? As always, any comments and criticism are welcome.. except that I know that I haven't drilled the bolt pistols, but I will, I promise, and I am aware there's a couple of other things left to do (paint the bones and muscles on the bat wings, some extra highlights, the plasma coils, and one or two daemon horns on legs, etc) Cheers, Widowmaker Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178772-the-fallen-are-rising/page/3/#findComment-2508355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 lol this is where i first used the term stabby stick. (a term i use often now to describe any stick like object meant for stabbing or stabby activities.)

lord gunthar Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Unbeliveble. That new squad of raptors is just so cool, great conversions, great paint job, and a drop dead fantastic idea.

perfectionist Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Realy nice work and I like the fluff you created for those raptors.

Timboli Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 really nice minis you got there :) i love the fluff behind your raptors, really awesome idea i would maybe give the deamon a pair of deamon wings so it would fit better to the fluff ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178772-the-fallen-are-rising/page/3/#findComment-2508738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widowmaker Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks for all the comments guys, I really appreciate it. The raptors were initially going to use just the Possessed wings, but when GW released the Sanguinary Guard I knew I had to use some of them They were a lot of fun to put together (albeit a horribly inefficient use of parts). @Timboli - Thanks mate, I appreciate it. i love the fluff behind your raptors, really awesome idea Cheers - I read the idea of Angels and Daemons being two sides of the same coin recently and thought it would be a pretty cool explanation for these guys. i would maybe give the deamon a pair of deamon wings so it would fit better to the fluff ;) Yeah, in hindsight, that might have made more sense, but the Daemon actually came before the raptors, which came before the fluff, so... oops!!! The Greater Daemon started from the idea of having an Angel of Death in the army. Most of the banners in the DA book seem to have a hooded skeletal figure (sometimes with wings) smiting the foes of the Dark angels. I figured that if such an apparition appeared to members of the Dark Angels, who had recently been swept from Caliban, disillusioned with The Lion, The Emperor or The Imperium, it may not be long before they turned to Chaos. @ Perfectionist - Thanks, mate, I appreciate the compliment, and as far as this goes However I hope the remaining 5% work you described earlier includes drilling the bolters/plasma guns? <_< ... any comments and criticism are welcome.. except that I know that I haven't drilled the bolt pistols, but I will, I promise... I'll do it. Promise :lol: Cheers Widowmaker Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178772-the-fallen-are-rising/page/3/#findComment-2510254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Normish Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Neato! Haven't seen a Fallen army before. I'm not entirely sure about the angelic/daemonic wing mix though in those Raptors, the concept is good, but the styles differ too much (the angel wings look unnatural, whilst the daemon wings don't - you know what I mean?) Good Nightbringer conversion. It seems to be popular with Angel conversions.

Good Nightbringer conversion. It seems to be popular with Angel conversions. Thanks Normish. Yeah, I know what you mean about the Raptors (although I actually think the angel wings look better, but hey... what do I know? :P ). To solve it, I think I may add more Raptors, then break them down into smaller squads... I have ideas for 2 more aspiring champs - One using the Jump Pack Chaplain and the Sanguinor's wings, and another using the old, old Raptor champ (the one with Skull Armour and winged jump pack) using Belakor's wings - which could lead me to have 3 squads of raptors, 2 Angellic and one Daemonic. We'll see I guess. I have some Oblits and Chaos Marines on the board right now. Who knows what'll happen after that. Keep the comments coming folks.

Firepower Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 That's not a Land Raider, it's a porcupine from hell :lol: Spikes everywhere! Hehe very nicely done models man. I like the rivets in particular. Amazing how itty bitty dabs of silver can break up a stark black model silhouette so well.

Widowmaker Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Greetings one and all, OK, so after the success of the last post, lets try again... Nothing "finished" here, but since I've completed the parts in these pics (and I'm quite psyched about them) I'm gonna post them anyways. These are not great photos as it's hard to pick up the contrast and highlight on the red, but... http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Games%20Workshop/Warhammer%2040K/Chaos/Marines/Fallen/Fallen%203rd%20Company/In%20Progress/P1030524.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Games%20Workshop/Warhammer%2040K/Chaos/Marines/Fallen/Fallen%203rd%20Company/In%20Progress/P1030523.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s106/widowmakerphotos/Games%20Workshop/Warhammer%2040K/Chaos/Marines/Fallen/Fallen%203rd%20Company/In%20Progress/P1030522.jpg First time I've done free hand on this scale.

Widowmaker Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for all the comments guys, I really appreciate it. As I said, this is the first time I've done anything on that scale, so I'm really happy with how they turned out. I did some freehand on the banner in the command rhino (the 1st pic - you can just about see the foot of the banner in the bottom of the pic) , but am not yet 100% happy with it. Pics will follow, but at this point let me just say that I learned that (1) I suck at painting skulls, and (2) if you want to do a free hand banner well, you really need to do the painting before you stick it to the vehicle. Otherwise the rhino tends to get in the way somewhat!!!! :lol: I have a couple of things left to do before I post the vehicles and their squads, but stay tuned cos it won't take long. As an aside, I am thinking of adding one more rhino - it will be for Cypher and a squad. I am going to pick up some of the Forge World extra armour, but am wondering how to alter the design for the top hatch... I'm leaning toward either 1) the same as the Command Rhino (1st pic) but without the underlying chaos star... in otherwords a pure DA symbol harking back to the Rogue Trader style DA symbol, probably with arrow heads at the end of each arm or 2) trying to replicate some feathered symbol like the one on the front of the landraider posted above. Any thoughts? Any other suggestions?

Dark Apostle Thirst Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hehehe, sweet. The only ciriticism that I have is the very first individual Raptor looks like a terrible model. It's pose is way off balance, almost like a chicken with functioning wings, although the painting is brilliant.

Widowmaker Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 @ Dark Apostle Thirst :) Heh!!! I can see where you're getting that from. I think it is (mostly) the fault of the picture/camera angle. In reality, it's a fairly dynamic pose, but not so much that he looks like he's falling over or he's a chicken. or at least no more than normal assault marines ;) At some stage I'll try to get some decent pics up - maybe you'll be able to see what I mean - if not, I may have to rethink the angle of the pose. i appreciate the comment though.

Widowmaker Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 Greetings one and all, So I have a small update for you - Chaos Marine Squad (designated Squad 2) and it's Rhino.

The bolters are drilled, but not all of them have been painted and highlighted properly after drilling. My bad!! As always, comments and criticisms are welcome.
