Hyaenidae Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 One ticked-off Marine... Ended up switching the BA head for a SW head with the sideburns shaved off. The BA head looked more like he was talking loud...the SW head looks more like he's screaming incoherantly, which is the goal, I guess, lol. I'm somewhat happy with the larger look to him, but my plasticard truescale technique needs some refinement. Ah well, not planning another large marine for a while anyway. Due to some constructive critisism from Dobermann, I've mostly restricted the chipping to friction areas as a test, and it seemed to work out well. @mikhail: Wow, I actually forgot about the old double PF guy; he does look like him! I was actually planning a twin PF on my Chapter Master, whenever I get to him. That's a looooooong way down the road, though. Promise, though, you'll see him eventually. @brother varen: My fluff ideas I'm literally making up as I go, just PM me and I'll answer any thoughts or questions. Great minds think alike, after all, lol. I'm going by a list, here ya go (Mind you, this is a BUILD list, please don't discuss tactics.) Captain w/ Aux. Grenade Launcher, PF, bike Marine squad [10 man] w/ melta, ML and Rhino w/ Extra Armour Marine squad [10 man] w/ flamer, hvy bolter and Rhino w/ Extra Armour Marine squad [10 man] w/ melta, MM and Rhino w/ Extra Armour Scouts [5 man] w/ PF, Shotguns x2, CCW x2 LS Storm w/ MM Bike squad [4 bikes], melta x2 , Attack bike w/ MM Bike squad [4 bikes], flamer x2 , Attack bike w/ HB Attack Bike Sq. [3 bikes], MM x2 I'm working on the Hvy Bolter squad right now, cuz I love to model Heavy Bolters! ;) And as for the size compaison... Like I said, he IS larger, if he was standing straight up. Still gives him an imposing presence, though. Oh, and the unpainted guy next to him is up next. The Gladius and Grenade mix is looking kinda cool. And would be a awesome name for a bar, lol.

Hyaenidae Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 The reason hes so angry is he has lost his weapon. :D Â Yeah, still thinking of how to incorperate a bolter on him. I'm thinking of adding a shattered 'Godwyn' pattern bolter at his feet, which would explain why he's so ticked, lol. I tried just sticking an intact one at his feet, but it looked terrible. Ah well...I'll update later when I can get something looking right on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplain belisarius Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 stick the bolter on his back (on a strap, kinda like joe strummer had his guitar?) Â awesome army!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GooseDaMoose Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Woah! I love anger marine! Would've been really cool with twin powerfists as well, but he looks wicked this way too. The old-style armour is also awesome, there's too little chainmail in the 41st millenium, someone needs to bring it back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Meh, maybe. I'll just go witha strapped bolter, and save that twin-gladius idea for later. Maybe a Chapter Champion, when my army reaches Apoc level. Great idea though, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 B) I just had an idea. Â Now, you might not like it, and I know putting dead guys on bases is corny, but he could be holding two halves of an Imp Guard or something. Awesome. If you're not doing it, I'm totally gonna make a diorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Dead or battered foes are ok, as long as it's done tastefully, but I already had an idea for my squad sergeant using a similar idea, and I really don't want more than one face-crushed foe in a squad. Good idea, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother varen Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I would think 2 combat blades in hands and a broken or ammo spent bolter on the ground. You could also go with a "special" blade that is only used by the Malevolents like the tulwar of the White Scars. Â Great pose though. Got to be careful with the two power fists though due to making it like Calgar of the Ultras. Â Hope to see more Malevolents soon. Keep up the great work.

tagsta Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 is the guy with the short sword the sergeant? are you gonna incorporate a red helmet for the serg? pleeeease :) the angry marine looks great but he needs a gun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Quick update. Sorry about the delay, but it's the holidays here in the states, and family comes first. But, after they all go to bed... :tu: All these guys are still WIP, I'll get painting as soon as the green stuff dries. First up, a tactial marine...kinda wanted a 'breach and clear' look to him. Next, a Heavy Bolter Marine. I chopped up a scout bolter for parts, and added a few spare drums of ammo hanging from straps on his back. Next is my big project, my flamethrower Marine. My best friend, and most vicious opponent, is a Death Guard player. So, a burning Plague Marine was a given at some point, lol. The guy you all saw before, the gladius and grenade guy...well, I'm not sure what to do with him. He looks too cool to take back apart, but the gladius really gives him the impression that he's my squad's Sergeant, which he is not. -Sigh-...I'll figure something out. @ Goose: There ya go, man. One dead guy, lol. @ Varen: No, I promise my Chapter Master will look nothing like Calgar...not a chance in hell, lol! @ tagsta: Short Sword guy is not the Sergeant, sorry. I got a much better idea for him, lol. No red helm, either. Black stripes down the center of the helms will mark out my Sergeants. I'm still working out an idea to incorperate a bolter on the angry marine, but I'll post him as soon as I do. Take care, everybody, and thanks for all the comments!

ephrael Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 How about designating the angry marine as the squad's special weapon guy? You could put a ruined and half melted plasma gun on his base to represent the weapon overheating and being discarded but still have it cover WYSIWYG rules. The only alternative I would suggest is a slung bolter like the gladius guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GooseDaMoose Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Haha I'm not really a fan of dead guys on bases but it looks good anyway, doesn't take up too much space. Well it does, but it doesnt look bad :lol: Breach and Clear marine looks good, as does the heavy bolter. Where are those ammo drums from? Â I don't really understand who you think looks too much like a sergeant though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 @chaplain B: Thanks man! I can't wait to see 'em finished too, lol! Â @mikhail: Probably gonna be a slung bolter, since I got a flamer guy in this squad. Cool idea with the Plasma weapon, thanks! Â @Maximvs: Thanks! The head is from the Iron Warrior's upgrade pack, with the horns shaved off. Got it for a trade. Â @chenley: Tanks are gonna be thin on the ground in this army, at least for now. Mostly gonna be attack bikes with MM for anti-armour. Â @Goose: the unpainted mini in the last pic of the 'angry marine' post. I'll admit, he does look like a Vet or a Sergeant of some sort, but that wasn't the goal. The ammo drums were from the Devastator box. Thanks for the comments on the burned Plague Marine base....I was a little paranoid how well he was gonna turn out, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.
