FriendlyFire21 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ok so heres the deal. besides my WIP chaos army, I have a Red Talon space marine army. They were my first army EVER and I stopped playing after space marines lost the chapter traits. Now I have always based my army off of faster moving units, usually mounting squads in razerbacks etc. My favorite unit of all time is Scouts. I always have good luck with them and 3 squads used to be necessary. So I have picked up some of the newer scouts etc. the problem is, what else should I pick up? I need some ideas for a character conversion for my leader. I want him to have a jump pack. The force is going to represent a high speed quick hitting army. Another question is, I always get asked "Hey are those Blood Angels" and my response is of course no. Any ideas on how to give them kind of a distinguished look? http://images.wikia.com/warhammer40k/images/6/64/Red_Talons_Marine.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229569-old-army-started-up-again/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captin Xavier Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The first think people will look at is the paint scheme, obviously, so maybe its worth changing it up some? I can easily see black lower legs working well or maybe a black head? just something that visually makes a stark difference (apart from chapter icons etc) Cheers Cpt X Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229569-old-army-started-up-again/#findComment-2755154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownLegionPlayer Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think having a different colored helmet would help, maybe blue or yellow. PS I don't know if those schemes are taken, because I play chaos. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229569-old-army-started-up-again/#findComment-2755231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarKHaZZ13 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Maybe a quartered/halfed scheme? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/229569-old-army-started-up-again/#findComment-2755242 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hey, I painted up some Red Talons once when I wanted to do an Iron Hands type force (They are one of the few successor chapters) but not paint another black marine army. I agreed that I thought the all red look was to blood angely so I deepened and darkened the red. I think I used Scab Red or probably red gore, links them more to Mars. I then gave them boltgun metal shoulder trim, again ties them to their Iron Hand ancestors and links them more to Mars. Just my thoughts.
