Mortarion Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 With the new BA codex I have begun to add new units to my Flesh tearers army. After finishing the shiny new Sanguinary guard I wanted to add something that would change the way I played the army. And since my army was very much assault-oriented I decided to add a devastator squad, which had become a much more viable choise. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/devs01.jpg The whole unit. It is painted in the same style as the rest of the army. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/devs02.jpg The missile launchers. Unfortunately, the missile launcher of the AoBR-model didn't quite line up. I'll see if I can fix that. I didn't realise how odd it looked until seeing this picture. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/devs03.jpg Bolters and a sergeant. In my tactical squad, most of the bolter marines are assaulting or advancing forward. That felt kinda strange for a devastator squad, so I modelled them in more static poses. I also got a chance to use some of the new BA bitz. For the sergeant, I replaced the giant targetter on his backpack with a more reasonably sized one. http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h233/Bulonicus/FT/devsarge.jpg Detail of the sergeant's shoulder pad and chainsword.

zaroph Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 These tearers i like! Torn and rugged! Nice freehands too brother! I just didn't like their faces, but it is only a matter of personal preference. Moreeeeeeee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattison Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Now this is something different. Likey! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosRaptor Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Exactly what Zaroph said, this is how Flesh Tearers should look! The weathering is excellent, the freehands are brilliant, and the colours really suit the fluff. The bases look really good too, everything is nice and dirty, and matches with these marines' rugged look. One thing I find interesting, is that the devastators, who would really be behind the other troops, are so torn up. Must mean they really like to get into it. Wonder how the rest of the force looks.... :) Loving it all, want to see more! Great Work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Twisted Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 In my experience, 10-man Dev squads become target practice for the enemy about half the time, so that may help explain why they look so roughed up. I mean personally, I'd love to try and stop the guys putting 4 Krak missiles into my vehicles a turn, so yeah, it wouldn't be hard to imagine why they'd get a bit scuffed.

Brother Nezulius Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Now these are some nice looking devastators! Nice work on the bases to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Beautiful work. The scheme is rugged and realistic, giving your marines a sense of reality. I really like it. Some great freehand too. Also, the basing is very well executed, adding to the miniatures' theme while not overshadowing it. All around, a great squad of minis.

Phosis Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I don't like the static poses I see on Space Marines occasionally. Your devastators give me the impression of an extreme and dangerous combat situation, but they are displaying skill. Oh, and the weathering on the chainsword is a very very good touch, and it seems that you don't overdo it on any one miniature. Very nice, thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossco Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 These are fantastic, great work Mortarion I love the gritty feel you've given them and as previously mentioned the basing has added beautifully to these mini's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thank you! :) @KaosRaptor: Due to their limited numbers, Flesh tearer squads are not dedicated to one particular tactical role, but change equipment based on what the mission dictates. So a devastator squad might have served as a tactical squad or even an assault squad in the previous mission. That's why even the devastators are so worn.

I had forgotten about the Flesh Tearers numbers. :) Regardless, they are pretty damn awesome. Might have to try some of that weathering on my berzerkers... Looking forward to more!

Messanger of Death Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 They look stunning. Especially the free hand on the Sargent. Going to bookmark these guys for future references. Messanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco151 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 These guys just look downright vicious. Every bit my impression of how a Flesh Tearer unit would look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gubnutz Da Grim Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Fantastic looking models. They scream behind the lines taking hits but giving as good as they get. The bases are really nice and the Freehand is top notch. Something to be proud of for sure. Gub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
