pattison Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Any updates maaybee? :) Would be nice to see more pictures of the progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Martemis Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 hey there, just found this thread and wanna say those models are cool, especialy after you added those bits. in all honesty (and i know this is a personal choice thing) i don't like the akimbo/dual wielding space marines... but what to do in the instance where i don't wanna convert combi weapons is the thought that keeps my sternguard as bits (might have an idea though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 Updates you ask! UPDATES YOU ASK!!! Well some may be just aorund the corner, including their "ride". :D @ Bro. Martemis: Each to their own on the akimbo front. I like it the way it's posed as if he's on a stand of defiance against the enemy when they get out of their vehicle. :/ Hmm not sure about the combi wepaons bit though. More to come soon hopefully. Got me some more bits recently including some more ornate bolters. Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Good job man! You made each look especially unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I like them, very good. The only thing I can think of to make them more sternguard-y would be to cut the clips off their bolters and replace them with box clips, either from Terminator storm bolters or possibly the vehicle upgrade sprue storm bolter, bit of green stuff, voila! Special issue ammo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special issue ammo! Now there's a cunning plan I might try out! Thanks for that idea Lysimachus, I'll try that with a couple of the marines and see if it'll be good for 'em. :) Pictures coming soon of the Roazorback!

Brother Cambrius Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well here's the update I promised. I've been working on the vehicle my Sternguard will use on the battlefield. There was a rhino that was demanding me to be built and so with the spare parts I had I made a Razorback transport for them all. So without further ado, the Razorback ride of my Sternguard: What do you all think? Are the additions enough to make it look worthy for a sternguard unit?

Brother Martemis Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 can't work out what i'm seeing at the front of the left hand side... other than that, looks cool, maybe some more purity seals and/or terminator honours, or even battle damage. but i would say the best time to make it stand out is when you get to painting it B) other than that, my sternguard that we were discussing is my first project this year, just trying to fing time to design and GS 10 custom shoulder pads for made up chapters... done one so far and got 4 or 5 others drawn out, takes a while to find time to do them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've added a few purity seals on the vehicle now but yeah the paint scheme will hopefully make it look the part. other than that, my sternguard that we were discussing is my first project this year, just trying to fing time to design and GS 10 custom shoulder pads for made up chapters... done one so far and got 4 or 5 others drawn out, takes a while to find time to do them :P Glad to hear they're getting on. If oyu need some custom chapter symbols, I have a plethora of chapter symbols you can try and make with GS. UPDATE: I'm now very happy to say that I have now completed all 5 of the Sternguard models. I've done a new sergeant for the squad, with the former sarge being sent to the honour of being in my command squad. Pictures coming very soon. :D Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Well I promised pics, here they are with a brand new sergeant and final bolter wielding marine! Firstly, the sergeant: And now the bolter wiedling marine, with his ornate RT era bolter I got in a bitz sale. :D And finally a group shot of all my Sternguard with their Razorback transport: All comments/critique appreciated, hopefully they'll be sprayed soon.

Brother Martemis Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 i love the inclusion of the RT bolter, it looks cut down/ slim line, makes me think of the cuban house scene at the end of Bad Boys 2. trimmed down, makes me think thats what scouts should use.

Rindaris Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Gotta admit, it makes me smile whenever someone uses that tutorial to make a combi-flamer :) Looks good. One way to make it look more ornate would be to use the master crafted boltgun from the command squad kit. Cut the lower half off, after removing the front nozzle. Now take the combi-plasma and cut it in half as well, then remove the front plasma part. Basically you want the lower part that is between the plasma firing end and the grip. Place that part on the master craftered boltgun and then attached the flamer part as you would have otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it's a great tutorial to use, I just added a little "artistic license" with the shoulder rest. It'll look a lot more ornate once I get him based and painted up, all of the bolters will be mostly gold with some areas of silver to help carry the ornateness across. :) Sadly I do not have the command squad box set so I don't have an ornate bolter from that but I'll keep your suggestion above in mind for the future when I may make some more combi flamers...10 man sternguard anyone? ;) Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Nice job on the sergeant! Is that battle-damage on his helmet my horrible eyes spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Nice job on the sergeant! Is that battle-damage on his helmet my horrible eyes spot? Nope they're the vents of his helm which I messed up spectacularly is attempting with my drill. :) Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Cambrius Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 Just a quick update on these guys, they have now been ased and will hopefully be sprayed at somepoint soon. Other advancements in my LPC challenge have taken place as well and will upload pictures in the future. Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Cambrius Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Well after a long time of nothingness, I've got the bug back and have done some further work on these guys, specifically their transport as seen below. all that needs to be done now is highlight the edges, add a little battle damage and some further details and it'll be done. :) More pictures to come once i've got my camera to behave a little more and maybe with some shots on the progress on the Sternguard themselves. Comments appreciated, Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Cambrius Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 An update from the caves of Cambrius. <_< I've built a 6th member of the squad for the local club's kill team scenarios, where I'll hopefully be using my Sternguard in. This one has been given a combi plasma (originating from the Terminatore Librarian) and I've tried using a chaos marine's chest piece (specifically for the large skull) to add to the look of ornateness. The other marines haven't been forgotten either. they're close to completion, but look a bit of a mess right now before I clean them up a little more. ;) Cambrius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
