Dark Apostle Thirst Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I'm relatively new to the hobby, and even I can tell you used a very wide variety of bitz, agewise. I count at least five different sets used, and that was just skimming through these guys. Looking forward to seeing them painted :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Christ, you really went to town on that lot, didn't you? They all look good, as far as bare models can, and I particularly like the kitbashing you've done. Also, the crozius looks better now, definitely a two-hander though. :P Thanks bro! Converting is perhaps my favorite part of the whole hobby. ^_^ Haha, then it's decided! It's name will be"Glorificus Virga Pulsus". Roughly translated into the "The Glorious Beating Stick" :) :tu: Smite thine foe most righteous, brother! :P I might have to name mine now... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephrael Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Mega_marines, I just wanted to let you know that you have not only inspired me with your squads of mixed armor marines but I have had a piece of commission art made for one of the Space Sharks that I plan to build this week and get my whole army rolling. Don't ever doubt that your work is giving some of us ideas that we may have never had on our own. I am eternally grateful to you for the push your work is giving me. Keep posting, your stuff is pure gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, updates on the army, but alas no pics this time around Drop Pods, Land Raider Crusader, Predator, and the Rhino are all basecoated and are at first highlights on the grey. All the Tactical Squads as well as the Assault Squad are primered Scout Squad and second Terminator Squad are all basecoated and are at first highlights on the grey. Chaplain has had brass added Vanguard Squad is 50% complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hey man really cool stuff you got! Keep updatin'! :D I really dig the helmets with the buttons on them, they're like the quintessential Space Sharks helmet to me because of Tyberos lol but anyway, they look really good and keep up the great work!

Astrum Vinco Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 never thought of the thing as two handed... would be just right length then! :D Love this stuff, and I can't wait until the next post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain has had brass added Vanguard Squad is 50% complete. I can pm you a copy of his picture if you are interested. I think that he does really nice work and incorporated all my ideas coherently into the piece. As soon as I can locate some FW chainaxes I'm going to build him and his squad. I also have ordered the FW event only boarding marine to add an extra touch of cool to my army. I should be starting this project in full swing by the end of the week. I can only hope that my marines turn out half as giid as your fine work Brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Hadrian Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 FANTASTIC work! After getting copies of IA10 from you, the mixture of your squad definitely fits in well with what IA displays. The look of the various armors set well with the idea that this Chapter floats aimlessly amongst the stars, waiting to strike the foes of the Imperium. Tyberos looks amazing and I am truly looking forward to your finished Terminators and of course the Librarian. Keep the work rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega_marines Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Brother Glauca is just about done!

Vulkan454 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Lovely work. The blood splatter is particularly effective because you have made it look like it has originated from where he his a big beastie. In simple terms it's very realistic :) I like the personalised trophy as well, is it from a regular opponent? Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephrael Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The dread looks fantastic. Can you tell me what you are using as a reference for the tribal art on his arm or did you just kake it up yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what you are using as a reference for the tribal art on his arm or did you just kake it up yourself? Oh, well I use the images of the few marines that have the tribal markings, from Imperial Armor 10: Badab War Part 2, and also use Maori tribal tattoos as ideas as well. The Maori symbols and such are fantastic, and can also help with some personal ideas I have to incorporate other items into the armor. Nice army :blush: Have you got an idea for the chapter badge? keep up the good work. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k175/megamarines/ChapterSymbol.jpg Well, that's the Chapter's common armorial symbol. I'll be waiting for another month for Forge World to release their transfer sheets(as they told me in an E-Mail), and then using those. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulkan454 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Great painting. It would be cool to add some blood splatters on the front of the tank as if it has just run down some Xenos but it may take some explaining to other players and be a bit OTT. Keep up the good work.
