sword brethren Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 update time. i made a start on recycling the 15 marines i found. and i also finished the building work on my count as vulkan, just needs some paint. i also found some spare rhinos, so without spending any real money i have a 10 man tactical squad and 5 man combat squad and the rhinos to carry them AND vulkan... all this recycling... save the trees!

shiningstorm101 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 loving how you have a legal army from spare parts. the Vulkan guy is great the cloak isnt to shabby but if you feel up to it doing it more neatly could help, either way great model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 thanks, i'm glad you like the visor idea as someone i know said it looks silly as it can only look in one direction. How is that any different from a normal dreadnought with a visor? i don't know but i won't be asking their opinion again... they were most rude and not very helpful They're just jealous :( All good dreadnoughts don't need to face any other way. That would mean they would be running. :) Vulkan looks good, though I might take the chains off the flamer. Great models and conversion, I love the dreadnought and the Khorne-head veteran! Ditto for the Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I must say, this is one of few responses where I cannot impart some method for improvement, for there is no room for improvement. If this is what you are doing with spare parts then you are certainly making the most of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted December 25, 2010 Author Share Posted December 25, 2010 thanks for all the complements guys ;) i have a question involving the use of templary sternguard. heres what i have so far... assault squad black templar upgrade kit so i was thinking running legs and templar torsos but the one thing i need to think about is the bolters. i could either use the deathwatch metal bolters (very sternguard) or the black templar chained and blessed bolters (very templar) whats everybodies point of view on the guns? anybody know of the the optimum weapon load out for sternies?

pattison Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 This guy is EPIC!! had a boring night of essays tonight/ this morning, so i painted up my high champion as reward for doing some work for a change. this is the first time i tried blending and highlighting like i have here, on the cloak. some feedback on whether its been done right and how to improve it would be great :ermm: thanks for taking a peak :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Templarish. You already have a huge Templar feel to this army. It'll be... strange to have a nontemplaic unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I added box mags to my Templar Initiates for a different look, they look cool with the chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onipunk Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Yeah, just grab some AoBR termies for cheap box magazines them put them onto the Templar bolters. Would look fantastic in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 LOVE the chainaxe conversion! Where did you get those wings? The large DA symbol?? Might have to steal that one ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Okay so I know this might be a bit late, and feel free to just ignore me completely anyway. But I gotta say the chains are just too big for Vulkan. And the chainmail cape looks good but remember that chainmail is linked both left to right and from top to bottom so the rows of chainlinks going left to right are a bit too spaced between them to look like they're linked to the rows above and below them. I hope that makes sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 righto guys i have a sternguard based update. so first... @pattison - thank you :sweat: @Dark Apostle Thirst - good call, your comment was duely noted @Marshall2 Crusaders & Dark Link - tried the box mag thing then struggle with the decoration on the templar bolters and ended up just making them all combiweapons. @AFP - thanks ;) the one from the ravenwing set, feel free to "steal" :wub: @GooseDaMoose - your advise is noted and shall be kept in mind next time i try that sort of thing, thanks for the advise. so to business, even though this is a shooty unit i decided rather than go for the long range shooty look i would go for the gritty up close and personally shooty look (mixed with the whole angry templar thing) so this is the sergeant. and this is the heavy flamer guy and the rank and file combi bolter guys so yeah, all the sternys have combi flamers (though im sure they can pass for meltas as long as i make it clear at the start of a game) except heavy flamer guy, after all nothing says repent like 6 massive angry knights weilding a firestorm. going back to the recycled marines i have painted the last two men in the 5 man combat squad. thanks for looking SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorridgeMeister Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Good job! They're looking pretty nice so far. :) I especially like the Khorne Berserker helmets which you have scavenged and think I'm gonna try that myself sometime. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 thanks guys :) so... i just bought a battleforce, the plus being ill have a much larger army and i dont have to buy anything for a while... unfortunatly im now looking at it like a frog my pet cat dragged in and left at my door, this is due to the sheer amount of things at once. im sure ill get over it. the real reason for this update is to ask how people are using scouts as i have never used scouts and never had any intention of getting any until i bought this, i am now looking at the sprue wondering how to make them tactically effective. any advise on how to make them look more knightly is welcomed :) SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Macab Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 if you want tactically effective i would go for either 5 in a LSS with pistols and CCW's (sarge with PF optional) or 10 with sniper rifles and camo cloaks and a missile launcher. of the two i would think that the first one would be more fluffy DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hmmmm, the only thing I might change would be the heavy flamer guy. He isn't balanced, his heavy flamer is oversized... Funnily enough, isn't that an Imperial Guard heavy flamer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 thanks for the comments guys. in regards to the scouts, production is in progress for power fist sarge and CC weapon guys. i havent updated this thread because i have had a LPC thread going but i have some non LPC related updating now. i was in GW walsall when i suddenly heard the angelic cry of the sanguinary guard calling to me, disgusted at how angelic and feminine they were i bought them and made them templary! i now have an honour guard. Standard Bearer random honour guard Relic blade guys im still mulling over the relic blades, im tempted to make the handles smaller. i hate banners (as templary as they are) i feel they would get in the way, so why not a holy relic with the bones of a hero and some parchment saying how wonderful he was. thanks for looking SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looking dope, I like the long handles on the relic blades, and you did a good job making the sanguinary guard templar-y :D The standard bearer is definitely a good replacement for an actual standard!

sword brethren Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 thanks guys :sweat: in regards to "Robo Termy" i left him at home. i could only bring so much warhammer with me to wolverhampton for university, in the end i had a battleforce to do anyway. i'll be doing that termie in little parts evry breif visit home.
