Pendulum Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Some of you may be aware of the angry marines from over at /tg/, or through the numerous funny images that exist of them. For those of you who are not, they are not my creation, but a joke chapter, with an emphasis on been angry all the time. Fear not, I play 40K VERY seriously. I chose the angry marines as a joke against my gaming's group's local :cuss (the kind who, at times, has tried to play sections of black library novels as rules). He took the fiction way too seriously, to the point of trying to argue that fluff trumps rules. As a result I painted the worst possible army for serious fiction, yet remaining 100% tournament legal in every way. This army has been in progress for 3 years now, and I'm at a point I'm willing to declare it finish. The quality of the paint jobs vary between oldest models and newest, but I doubt I'll ever go back and repaint them on-mass. I'd much prefer to keep moving on with my Witch Hunter army. As always, please excuse the picture quality. I am very disappointed with the camera quality of a Google Nexus One ;) All up I have (in the below image left to right, bottom to top) Counts as Vulkan Captain with Command Squad Counts as Marneus Calgar Librarian Chapter Master Captain in Terminator Armour Chaplain on a Bike Master of the Forge with Servictos Techmarine Dreadnought Terminator Squad Devastator Squad Sniper Scouts Devastator Squad Venerable Dreadnought Ironclad Dreadnought Jump Infantry Squad Tactical Squad with Rhino Transport Tactical Squad with Rhino Transport Tactical Squad with Rhino Transport Tactical Squad with Rhino Transport Vindicator with Dozer Blade Land Raider Crusader Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield Assault Terminators Land Speeder Land Speeder http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5726/01completearmy.jpg http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7451/02completearmy.jpg http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/3377/03completearmy.jpg http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9278/04completearmy.jpg http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/4862/05completearmy.jpg http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8283/06completearmy.jpg http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4158/07completearmy.jpg http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2402/08completearmy.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8030/09completearmy.jpg http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/4141/10completearmy.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronk Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 The dreadnought looks nice. Love the scowl! Angry Marines deserve closeup pictures. After all, they are always IN YOUR FACE! From what I see, they look nice. The arrows on your rhinos look crisp and neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am the Stig Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Looks decent. Now, convert up the Litanity of Litanities litanity in the Emprahs name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skritz Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Always Angry! ALL THE TIME! Nice army, but I really want to see them up close. I know its vulgar, but Angry Marines need some ";) you", "Up your ass", "Rage" and "Hate" messages on their armors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justicar Valius Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 What? No closeups of those powerbats and power feet? This makes me angry! ALWAYS ANGRY ALL THE TIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Noble Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Where's the marine with the sackful of power doorknobs? That's what I want to see! -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendulum Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Sorry for the delay in replying, it's been a bit of a crazy long weekend. Thank you for the kind words, and apologies again for the awful quality of the images. I tried to stay away from cussing and swearing on the armour, as my intentions were to stay pure enough for tournament use (and I've heard stories of some small tournament organisers forbidding the old metal Daemonnettes because they have exposed nipples, for example). I've got some hints at it, though nothing precise. Here are some close up images. Image quality is about the same, but I think I'm starting to get the nuances of this camera. Land Speeders, each with a Multimelta and a Heavy Flamer: http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9348/01landspeeders.jpg Vindicator (with non-precise swearing): http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/9218/02vindicator.jpg An Angry, Angry Dreadnought: http://img107.imageshack.us/img107/3173/05beligerentengine.jpg Counts as Vulkan. I don't like the official Vulkan model, and I thought this metal Daemonhunter Inquisitor was perfect http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/1803/04vulkan.jpg Librarian (made from AOBR Captain, a toothpick, and a book from the WHFB Arcane Books kit): http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2241/03librarian.jpg Apologies for the extra worse image quality here, but this is a recent joke conversion I was working on. A Space Marine wielding an Imperial Guardsman as a CCW: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/599/06igccw.jpg And some stuff I have posted at another board in the past: Lots of models, midway through re-basing: http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/8822/20100307100528.jpg An objective: http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/8117/07objective.jpg Ironclad Dreadnought: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/2702/02ironclad.jpg Counts as Marneus Calgar. Just a kitbash while playing around with Truescaling...I got the method from here though sadly I don't remember the chap's name. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/6688/05irabellicus.jpg Also see these units which I have posted here in the past: Master of the Forge Sniper Scouts (not angry themed, but used in the army nonetheless) Thank you again for the comments. Hopefully in less than 3 years I'll be able to show off my Witch Hunters army here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 You should make Fuklaw as a counts as Telion. His rage would inspire higher ballistic skill since missing shots is heresy and we all know how well Fuklaw tolerates heresy. Love the marine using a guardsman as a weapon, well done.

chapter master 454 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Need more powerfists and maybe you should have an entire unit of imperial guard weilding marines because that would just look funny as hell against imperial guard! However the land speeders aren't angry enough, you need the driving weilding a power fist and the gunners hanging off the side with heavy bolters and multi-meltas for the ANGRY factor. Good old angry marines, nothing more fun than marines who swear and kick rear ends all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
