International Brotherhood of Hobbyists

[Loken of the 10th]

I'm definately interested but I'm out of country on vacation but I had several ideas for conversions when I get back stateside.

 

I'm in but I'm on vacation so it'll be a while before I share anything

That came into my head but its much too big for a logo

It needs to be somthing that shows what we do, which is hobby, unification and a Brotherly bond, maybe two space marine gauntlets shaking hands with a paint brush and hobby clippers making an 'X' in the background

Like that except with a handshake or something

I think you might be on to something Shaun. Maybe if we asked permission to use the B&C's logo we could work it into something a little smaller. After all it is where it's all beginning to take shape :)

I would like to join as well. I thunk thus is a great idea. I'm willing to help in anyway I can.

[Skirax]

I would like to get involved.

 

Also, did someone want me to post a Tutorial on enlarging Marine Legs? I thought someone said something...

[Pig Of Sparta]

Welcome aboard Brothers! once we get the seal sorted we'll get them out to you, in the mean time please make yourselves at home :)

 

I believe something was mentioned Skirax so you can put one up if you like :)

This sounds like a workable idea. Maybe soemthing along the lines of a Skull bit with crossed paintbrush/sculpting tool behind it. If B&C would let us, use thier logo as a basis and maybe work it from there.

 

 

*just thought of something else - a banner with IBH on it sitting just under the skull would look good. Or incorporate the design into the seal part of a purity seal with International Brotherhood of Hobbyists on the paper parts.

Between Shaun's and your ideas I think we now have something to work with. If I have time I'll try and sketch something out and post it up for opinions. Of course anyone else is more than welcome to give it a go as well ;)

I'm an ideas man - I'll plant the seed and germinate it, but someone else has to help it grow :cuss

But seriously, I would sketch something out if I had the time but what with work, home and moving house soon, times a bit tight :nuke:

 

Anyway, glad you liked the ideas ;)

[Replica]

Hey, knocked this up in a few minutes, just to give you an idea of whats in my head. I should point out nothing is ruled, lined up or anything like that, very rough sketch. The exacto-knife could just as easily be a sculpting tool or something else. If you like this one, and want to use it i can spend a bit more time and effort and put together a nice looking logo.

Thanks mate,

Replica

[Pig Of Sparta]

I do quite like this actually. I think the exacto knife could stay as is, although I'd like to know what other people's thoughts are on it...

 

James

[ephrael]

I like it just as it is Replica. I'd be proud to display that sketch in my sig.

[Skirax]

Same. I'd love to use it as my Avatar as well.

[Pig Of Sparta]

Maybe if we ask Replica nicely then he could scale it down for us and we can get it out to all our members?

 

James

[Replica]

sweet, well ill clean it up a bit and should have a finished product in a couple of days. Everyone happy with black and white, or would you guys like some color?

[Pig Of Sparta]

I quite like the simplicity of black and white. I think it'll mean more to those who know what it is as well.

no worries Pig Of Sparta, i think you're right, make it look a little classy. Heres 2 more versions, but i intend to re draw the whole thing in better light and with more time (the first one was literally 5 min, before bed )

little more contrast to give it some more punch:

and looking like an old photo:

I think i might take the sharp teeth off, might be mistaken for something too chaos-y unless people really like it, im flexible, everyone's gotta like it <_<

thanks,

Replica

Wow.....I'd really like to join. However my painting skills aren't really great (I blame unsteady hands when it comes to a paint brush). But if it's not that big of a deal that I'd make everyone's painting look better, than sure! :lol:

this is looking pretty sweet! It's pretty similar to what I had in mind. I would keep the teeth pointy - after all, it is the Grim-Dark!

[Lestat]

*Sorry - double post! Computer is being slower than a dead Ogryn.

[Pig Of Sparta]

For a five minute sketch before bed I think it's pretty damned impressive. I quite like the heavily contrasted one. The sepiated one is good, but the grainy look of the first one is better I think.

 

I'm in agreement with Lestat. The sharp teeth fit with the grim-darkness of our shared hobby universe :). I don't think it's too chaosy. I seem to remember that around 2nd and 3rd edition there were lots of skulls feature in rulebooks/codexes/artwork that had pointy teeth. I realise not everyone's been in the hobby for that long but it brings some pleasant memories of past times, for me anyway :).

 

@ Vlad III: there's no requirement at all for membership. I'll add your name to the members list at the top of our threads. Welcome to the IBH!

I remember 2nd edition fondly. Codex: Angels of Death was where it started for me - plenty of pointy-tooth skulls in there!

My first 40k adventure began with a friend's copy of the boxed game. I still mistakenly refer to books sometimes as the 'Codex Imperialis'. At one point I had a copy of Dark Millenium as well. Thank god they streamlined the psychic phase in later editions and got rid of wargear cards and datafaxes. I have fond memories of them, but gaming tables and frequently the floor around them were so messy. I seem to recall battles taking whole days to fight about four turns as well.

I actually have a copy of the Rogue Trader rulebook, but I'd really like to get a hold of the second edition rule book and wargear book. Some of the background in those books still fits today, and was generally a lot more detailed than we have now.
