Plague Angel Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 And how sarcastic do I sound, pray tell? I think my head just exploded in a vast warp of paradox.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well, I was actually thinking of copy-pasting all the names and randomly drawing them out of a hat one at a time. Watch. I'll end up finding Molotov's Steel Confessors and completely annihilating his whole IA without knowing who it is.

Madwolf Shadowmane Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hounds of the Hunt January Update: Currently working on a complete edit. No real changes to the core concepts. Streamlining the flow and clarifying some issues. I am adopting the less is more approach. Most notably I am indicating that the Hounds do not fear technology, they distrust it and expect it to fail. Hope to have the edited post up by the weekend.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I got through three(or was that four) loyalists today. I'm not doing so well.

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm working on my Sons in secret, because you're all mean and judgmental people. That and I'm still plowing through old work to try and get a new outline working. Oh and the pub is not a good place to critique from, therefore I did not.

Brother Argent Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 Due to a strange paradox inb the Warp as well as the machinations of Tzeentch the Chaos signup has mysteriously grown an extra two positions, one of which has already been filled. So do I have any takers forthe final spot (again). @ Ludovic - :D What mistake, I dont make mistakes.

Ace Debonair Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well. Real Life has just dropped a few bombshells on me, I'm afraid. :P I doubt I'll get anything much done until after Monday now. When I get chance (next week), I'll tear through everything on the first few pages, and in an ideal world, have something sensible and constructive to say on each topic. ;) EDIT: EDIT: And also, that not having a link to your IA in your sig is a very silly choice. As silly as say listing an IA in your sig and then not linking it? :P Well, that's a constant reminder to me to get one of the other four finished. Then I can work on the SD and TT. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219055-iron-gauntlet-2011/page/8/#findComment-2625851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Juan Juarez Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 You may have a point Juan. You may have a point. I'll keep thinking about it. I always have a point, whether it's relevant and/or logical is another matter. Try a basic scheme to begin with - pick two colours for the armour plating and a third for soft armour and see how you go.. 'cause right now that scheme is a bit of a jumble. Obviously this is only my opinion, you are free to ignore it but if you do I may feed you to a hungry Catachan Devil.

Note to self: never experiment with Marine schemes while drinking. Again. EDIT: Worked on it a bit and toned it down some. Still not satisfied with it, but eh. Here it is with a Tactical for comparison. I never knew Apothecaries were so tricky!

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I actually quite like the first one. Though the red shoulder pad on the left (his right) that is lighter than the body colour is a little strange and doesn't fit. Maybe to take the emphasis off the different reds have black shoulders too? I don't know, I'm not the best colour critic, Ace or Heru would be the ones to whine/cry/grovel to. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219055-iron-gauntlet-2011/page/8/#findComment-2628636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the pauldron instead of helm to show squad assignment (Red=Tactical for BA).

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Well the tactical colours are all fine and dandy, so long as they are clear and easily distinguishable, which the former wasn't. It would be easier to have a dark base colour and use coloured strips or markings instead. Or just not copy the BA tactical markings altogether. And I thought helmet colour was the order of the day with BA? I always thought tacticals had red helms because they were essentially 'regular' marines, secondly that they had no tactical niche to fall within unlike the Fast Attack and Heavy Support divisions.

Plague Angel Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Helm color is used for the Blood Angels themselves, yes. But I think it looks kind of goofy so I use the pauldrons for my successors instead. And that's enough on my color scheme for now I think — I'll have the IA posted soon and I've hijacked this thread enough. Though I appreciate the input!

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The first one is moderately tolerable. :D And Juan, have you ever seen the movie-type thing called "The Point"? You'd find it very instructive. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219055-iron-gauntlet-2011/page/8/#findComment-2628701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
