saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 The very begining By this small post I begin my narration. There was 2011 year. The very beginning of spring. The grass hasn't started to turn green yet, and buds on trees haven't bulked up yet, and ruthless D6 has given out to me laconic 6. In my opinion, I have set uneasy problem to it: to decide, for which armies of a space marines I will play battles of Universe Warhammer 40000. On 1-3 it would be classic space marines, on 4-6 – Blood Angels. Usually, it doesn't carry to me with the Six on dice, and in general with all community of great numbers, into which the Four and the Five also enter. Therefore I have rolled dice and for that short time, which it fell and slightly slid, I have had time to imagine, as 3 is rolled or even less than that, and I collect «vanilla marines», I go with it in our country, and maybe abroad. And the Six didn't enter into those my "dreams" in any way. But. Angels mean angels. Well, I really would not argue with Great D6! Update 14.06.2011 - My first assault marine Eh... Work takes much time. And too less time I have for my army. I've decided to turn to Blood Angels. No chapters. So, this is my first assault marine. http://firesteelblood.blogspot.com/2011/06/eh.html Comments and critics are welcome! Assault sergeant with fist, bolt pistol and jump pack is coming. Update 18.06.2011 - Assault sergeant with fist Finally, my assault sergeant is ready. http://firesteelblood.blogspot.com/2011/06/aurelius.html Comments and critics are welcome!

saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I've chosen Astartes chapter and now I need to choose color scheme and the name. Color scheme has been defined, but the name сauses considerable difficulties. Here is how I imagine my future tactical marines: http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4751/spacemarinee.jpg or (a little bit darker) http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/7111/spacemarine2.jpg And as an emblem I wish to use the Greek letter Lambda. Here is 2 possible variants: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/8082/emblemag.jpg So, I'd like to give the name, which will start with "L". But it is not so simple: there are over 9000 variants :D Would you give me some advice, guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd go with the second colour scheme and the L in the blood drop.. Have you thought of any fluff yet? What do you think of "Lord of Blood" or perhaps "Lethalis" which is Latin for deadly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Lethalis? I like it. We'll see. But I have an idea: Armour on my unnamed space marines' legs (exept knees) will be painted with red, so it is possible to paint red scales on it. This may be start point for giving the name. Now to the name 2 criteria are applied: start with "L" and somehow tied with scales. Maybe something like "Last Dragon's Tears". Have ideas? Give it to me! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 And about Fluff: I will write it after painting my first tactical and giving my chapter the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 How about "Lethalis Draco"... Deadly Dragon? Actually makes me feel like making a new Chapter ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Very good name! But lets think: scales mean dragons and snakes - it is clearly, dragons and snakes are very "Lethalis" ;) So maybe realy just "Lethalis"? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yesterday I sculped blood drop for terminator right shoulder. Today after job i'll try to paint it and show the result. Shoulders and power fists will have scales too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Sounds great... I think both Lethalis and Lethalis Draco would be cool but if you choose the latter you should ask someone with real knowledge of Latin (I only studied it for 2 years 4 years back xD) if it's correct. I'll be waiting for those pictures ;) And fluff-like it would be awesome to include lot's of flamers ;) (Dragons ey ;)) This got me really inspired... Tell me if you need some help with the fluff ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I will need help with literature translation from russian to english ;) Cool idea about flamers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Haha xD well I'm Dutch so Russian-English isn't my specialty either :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 So if it will be Dragons, i plan to convert Sanguinary Guards and change their angelic wings into wings, like this Posessed has: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/3936/m125261999120102022csmp.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit too disjointed for my tastes. I would suggest things like making the helmet one color, and the abb section the same color as the torso. etc etc. Definitely nothing wrong with bi-color marines, just would suggest making sure your colors harmonize rather than bring a feeling of discord. But again, thats just my take on it. as for the wings they look very cool...but they might get the Inquisition on your tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I was thinking about color scheme. Before choosing BA I wanted to paint Macharius solar orange color instead of red. So orange and grey look well together. But BA obliges to paint red. I have time to think about color scheme while. Perhaps my marines will be completely red, like original BA, but they will have own sculped emblem. It is not so hard to sculpt blood drop with lambda. Will you advice some color instead grey? P.S. I didn't think about Inquisition. Perhaps the best choice would be to stay with standart wings =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I would go for red and white... I found that those colours complement each other quite well.. At least the bright red I use for my Blood Angels... The wings are cool but just a little bit too non-Imperial xD I agree that the Inquisition wouldn't be very happy about them. I'd stick with the ordinary wings :D Or no wings at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintgeo23 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 White is too hard for work. It will take much time. I'd like to paint my army fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrionus1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Grey and red are both nice colors to work with. I agree that white is more of a pain. I didnt mean to imply that your choice of colors was wrong, just meant that I didn't prefer the layout of them you showed. Personally, i like bi-color schemes, even tri color works at times. I think the main issue I have with the ones you posted was the bi-color helm (which will be a pain to paint quickly and well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 If you use a white undercoat it wouldn't :P But grey and that darker red are a nice combo as well.. I also agree that a multi-coloured helmet wouldn't work if you want to paint fast.... I myself would only paint the chestplate and backpack in 2 different colours and then continue that colour to of the legs and arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrionus1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 heres what I mean. or with grey torso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That looks quite good.. But now exactly what I meant xD I'm off to work now but tonight I'll upload how I imagined it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Blood Donator Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I always want to have white on my blood angels, but I can't get it to work. The only thing I can do is helms. by base of black, coat of bleached bone, ink, drybrush skull white. Looks sort of ok. Might help you if you want some ideas on basic white.
