lunchb0x Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Okay, so after putting together and starting to paint some terminators...I have to say this...the new molds for the Termies, really really really play into painting alot of awesome gold accessory bits!!! And from the pics of the Grey Hunter box, the same can be said... On the other hand alot of the accessory bits could be painted like rare stones as well!!! does anyone else notice this about the molds? or is it just me?

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I love copper and bronze, alot. I have all kinds of copper and bronze accessories tacked on to different things, and a few sword/axe heads too. From the looks of things it will be hard to keep from going gawdy with these new bitz. I think for now I am goign to keep working on finishing up my LONG overdue base painting for my army, but I do agree with you. We are going to see some crazy wolves.

lunchb0x Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Word. Come on VROX what do you have to say? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180534-bling-marines/#findComment-2137431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WG Vrox Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Yep, seems to me the wolves have a developed an eye for the more elabrate power armor. I don't mind the wolfy bits so much as the flares of raised edges are a little to much. With the Space Wolves Pack box, it is obvious some bit legs are to go with a matching chest piece. Just overkill, like some others have said, best to spread it out a bit amongst old wolves or SM, LF kits and bits. Vrox.

Aeddon Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Well when you think about it they are just doing a better job modelling Space Marines. In just about every detailed picture of a Space Marine that I have seen they have very ornate armour.

Ryzouken Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 yeah, but we're usually looking at Ultramarines who wear all that ornate crap because they can't fight. They figure "If I look big and scary and shiny, maybe the enemy won't come over and gut me!" But meh. I guess we can't begrudge the boys a few baubles and trinkets...

I think it is refreshing to have some bitz and iconography to fall back on which ISN"T steeped in Greek or roman culture. I hate green and roman culture, and I don't want it on my minis in any way shape or form. Besides EVERY Chapter is supposed to have ornate iconography, most don't because the only bitz they churn out are for the five ultramarine players and the one person at GW who apparently has enough power to keep them the 'most popular' chapter.

Grey Mage Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Agreed, and with so many bitz in a box I can spread them out a bit... so most of my boys will have atleast on bit, but few of them will have multiples.
