Valkyrion Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I know there are some sensitive souls on here, but being sensitive on behalf of someone else is new to me. Nothing in ADB's style either on here or his blog would suggest to me he would be in anyway bothered by people asking for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 One last warning guys, it wasnt even a month ago when I left a comment advising everyone to avoid the non constructive comments. As this is the second in-thread nudge, any further derailment will result in formal warnings for inappropriate conduct when advised against it. Please remember that all our board members do have real lives and real life will take priority. I'm sure the OP will post updates when the time is available.

A D-B Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 POST MINIATURES! seriously the anticipation is killing me. Don't get your hopes up. As I said, I'm not a painter, or a modeller. At best, I'm a head-swapping dipper, which sounds like some kind of weak, duck-based dinosaur. seriously, guys give him a break. His wedding is in a week or two and I doubt he really has the time to model right now. The thread started over a month ago, and there was mention on pictures. Bad planning. Accusing a novelist of bad planning. In other shock news, water is wet. Please remember that all our board members do have real lives and real life will take priority. I'm sure the OP will post updates when the time is available. In my defence, since starting this thread, I've signed 3,000 pages for a limited edition novella; started and finished a Horus Heresy audio drama; written a fifth of a novel; and got married. The summer's been a bit busy. I'm in Bruges right now, halfway through my honeymoon, typing this and cruising forums because Cathy's asleep. That said, I did get 2 Word Bearers done (and, from nowhere, a Red Scorpion...), and Cathy got a camera I can finally use, with some of our wedding present money. So when I'm back next week, I'll finally have a pic to show. Still, I wouldn't hold your breath. They're not going to change anyone's lives. You'll see the same stuff clutched in the greasy, chocolate-stained fingers of the world's averagest 14-year-old in your local store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if people weren't playing nice (and they are), I'm hard to offend with banter. Given how sloooowwwww I am, I expected a bit of "My God, guy, speed the hell up". Is good. Is fine.

Terminatorinhell Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 actually considering all youve done (getting married and all) I am amazed you got 2 marines done, I cant even paint 5 marines if I had an entire week free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirax Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Lorgar sends me demanding a tithe, mighty Apostle! We need images, lest your second soul rise to the fore and murder your models with a ferocity that, when it's gone, leaves you nothing more than a blithering mess. RISE, I SAY.

Pavement Artist Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm sure i saw that Rachel playing with her Night Lords at warhammer world. Be glad she's on your side man, she looks dangerous. Hah. I'm totally not. The other people in the campaign don't need to know that however. Just rock up with sharp nails and a mean attitude and watch them capitulate.

A D-B Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Words cannot express how busy I've been these last few months. And seeing as it's not set to get any less busy, several of us in the campaign have started fitting in precious hobby time between the cracks of Real Work and Other Jazz. Right now, I'm having to use my useless webcam for photos, just to show a little evidence that I'm actually getting somewhere. My first squad and their Rhino are just about made, and here are the first 6 guys (5 Chaos Marines, and an Icon Bearer) to show a rough guide to the various bitz going on. Like I said, nothing particularly special or unique. I'm a pretty basic kitbasher. All of them are missing their left shoulder pads right now. I've got more on order. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6206/6075881159_39c272880a_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6206/6075880939_67cafe0c88_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6204/6075880737_cbc3048fe4_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6210/6075880565_b50b90044e_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6078/6076416808_bf8288c8ca_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6192/6076416594_752542a3e2_z.jpg I've also been musing a little more on my army lore. Fluff. Whatever. The conversion/bitz on offer for following a god like Khorne or Tzeentch holds a lot of appeal (as does the story potential...), rather than sticking to Chaos Undivided. That'd make my warband more of a splinter faction, like The Sanctified. I could live with that, and it's pretty tempting. Obviously, with so long to go, army lists and fluff is subject to change. I still like my core idea too much to change very much of it, but I may refine some bits as I get closer to finalising it all. The Chaos side is already planning our opening fiction, involving our Chaos Lords meeting on neutral ground for the first time. In other news, we're arranging a few smaller games (1,000 points, or 750 points Doubles' games) early in 2012, rather than waiting the full year to start at 1,500. I tried to get a picture of my test mini, but he looked terrible (and all the wrong colours), so to hell with that. Still, it has begun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Cool kitbashes, but I'm really liking the last fellow. Something about that helmet. And chainmail. Yeah, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 It lives! So much for the ugly models that you've been warning us about. These are wonderful! As in excellent! As in stupendous! As in fantastic! As in I'm getting off track again and need to stop! I can't decide whether I like 2,3, or 5 better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Tiberus Satio Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Filthy Heretics! You will be cleansed from my Imperium by my own hands! On a regular note, the models look great. I still want to see your "artistic ability" you gripe about being horrible at. If dipping can make tyranids look good, so to can the heretics. Can't wait to see more updates.

Artein Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Those are looking great. The icon guy is my personal favourite. What shoulder pads are you goin' to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Actually, I'll be honest, that first marine is my favorite. That helmet has always screamed 'Star of Chaos' to me and it just really fits well with a word bearer. There is a very nice mix of chaosy bitz with purity seals to add that oomph that just makes him a bad ass in my book. Now as for your interest in the tzeentch and khorne aspects of chaos, I would like to make a suggestion if you don't mind. Perhaps what you could do is keep the bulk of your force as word bearers so you can keep the chaos undivided aspect but as for your cult troops, you could use the sanctified as your khorne berzerkers. As for fluff reasons, the Sanctified are a splinter of the word bearers and from the way I see word bearers, their way is the only way and I'm sure they aren't fond of their own brothers trailing off the path. (good example is Arguleon from Daemon World) and so the Aphotican Oath at one point hunted down and purged a small contingent of Sanctified. As for the survivors, they offered them a chance of redemption in slavery or be used in some horrific ritual that will eat away their soul And so the remaining sanctified are used as suicide runners and shock troops sent in to fight where the carnage is greatest and in death will redeem themselves in the eyes of the legion. You could use something similar to this for some tzeentch marines if you so choose. Just an idea though. Otherwise, nice start and if you don't mind me asking, are those painted possessed marines and a night lord next to your desk top? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subtlebrush Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thats some good kit-bashing! Glad to see you've found some time to work on the boys. I have to say my favorite mini is between the first one and the dual-welding one. I really like the helmet of the first one and the pose of the dual-welding marine is superb. Cannot wait to see them all painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zincite Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Ahh. Looks nice. Something: The second marine, the standard bearer. The banner seems to somehow clash with the robes. I think it's the fact the cloth on the standard has a lot of detail on it, the star/holes/tattered edges, but his robes are completely smooth. Also, the fifth marine's belt pouches on the front, from the photo they seem to stick out rather a lot? Otherwise, they seem good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
