WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Sweet I got Nesewdjet-Nedjetyalways wanted to try my hand at them. Hey mate, is it ok if I knock up a Sergeant rather than a stock marine? If so, do your Sergeants us the same colour scheme as Bolter marines or Veterans on your IA?

Solid Zaku Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 So I guess I've got Sylen's Blue Falcons. Can Anyone explain what the joke is? I don't think I understand. :ermm: It's a military thing. Blue Falcons = Buddy :cuss er. What in the Warp are you talking about? Blue Falcon was a Hanna Barbera Cartoons character from the 70's. Read my reply, and watch the video linked in it....sheesh, what would Freud say?

Read my reply, and watch the video linked in it....sheesh, what would Freud say? Freud would say I'd been in the military too dang long. It's an old saying I've heard since basic training. Saying 'blue falcon' was a way for a soldier to not get in trouble while cussing out a backstabber. My bad, man.

Vaaish Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Sweet I got Nesewdjet-Nedjetyalways wanted to try my hand at them. I wish you luck with them, If you need any more reference materials on the schemes or fluff, let me know and I'll do my best to dig something up for you. 1000hethans, I see I have your loyalist chapter. it seems an interesting scheme and premise, should be fun. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?

Dave the Twisted Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Took a look at Elohimalpha's Lions of Dawn IA as soon as I checked this thread and immediately started working on my model. My idea's a Sergeant of the Ice Watch wearing some roughed-up, iced-over gear standing atop a frozen mound. Most of the GS work is done already too. Now I just need to finish the fur and paint him up. EDIT: If Elohimalpha can get me a picture of his chapter's emblem, that'd be great. I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't mentioned in the IA Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209863-the-diy-swapping-project-2010/page/8/#findComment-2527136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 @Vaaish: I created the Medusan Knights mainly so my evil version of them (The Ironbound) had a noble background. Never really got an IA up for them. I've kinda always imagined them as one part Angels of Iron (holy script and purity seals), one part Iron Hands (bionics) and one part Salamanders (protectors of the weak). Spiritual robotic knights, if you will, lol. Other than that, go nuts, brother.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Dave, I apologize in advance for making you watch as someone makes you wonder how someone could manage to screw up a paint scheme so badly.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Sorry, I just read it. The color is yellow. It represents the company/clan they come from on their homeworld. The red and yellow is from the third company, ferrus ignum.(If you know latin, I apologize for this:)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209863-the-diy-swapping-project-2010/page/8/#findComment-2527562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have missed something, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't mentioned in the IA Wow! Sounds amazing - can't wait to see it! You're right about the Chapter emblem not being up yet; I haven't had my Photoshop handy for some time. Ultimately, once I get my greenstuff skills advancing past "laughable" I want the emblem to be a sculpted lion's head, with the mane coming together like sun-rays. I know - a bit much. It'll probably have to be just Termies/command first. Anyway, in the interim, I'm using a white lion rampant, in front of a gold rising sun on a blood-red field. I'll try to get a sketch put together by the end of the day. Oh, and the Ice Watch shoulder trim is ice blue (creative, I know).

BOOM!!! Mediccc...ugh Well in that case I really hope I wrote the description clearly enough. Update on my part. I've promoted my Sergeant to Captain of the Ice Watch. He carries 2 relic weapons found beneath the ice, the Lion's Claw and the Sword of Siduris. ((Counts as Paired Claws)) The fur and tabard are GS'd in and the only reason I haven't started painting is because I need to wait for it to set. Apologies, but as usual with my modelling, there are very few parts that haven't been recycled from other models. EDIT: Will there be a separate thread for posting our progress or do we just dump the pictures here?

AngryJohnny Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 @recon0321: Thanks for the clarification. I saw that the chapter emblem is the Templar Cross, it's red right? I was thinking of putting a Sergeant together w/a Power Sword & Bolt pistol w/Shield for aesthetics. Does your chapter use codex markings for company, squad, etc.?

The Normish Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Just so everyone knows, I'll be doing Heru Talon's Darkwatch. I'm going off the fluff he sent me, and modeling one of the lone marines watching over the interstellar void in a small station, accompanied by only a few serfs and servitors. I plan to do a robed figure, weapons stowed away in holsters or on straps, and the Marine staring vigilantly into space (possibly with a servo-skull or two at his side). It might take me a while to get the pose right though.

StrangeGuy Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 @ at strange guy do your marines use codex insignia and markings??? and how do veterans denote themselves Pretty much standard codex markings. Company colour on the marines right shoulder trim (standard company colours, white for first, yellow for second etc), squad emblem on the left knee. Veterans are denoted by the crux terminatus on the left shoulder pad and/or helmets painted in the company colour.
