ravenguard2010 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So I've just blagged myself a cheap box of hormagaunts, and I'm going to set out making my first diorama as soon as it arrives.. So I'm picturing a tightly packed gaunt swarm and potentially a single astartes holding his own. I'm thinking of trying a different chapter to my usual Raven Guard, so any particular stand-off's come to mind? I'm also tempted to put a few IG being cut down in it too, perhaps to illustrate how deadly the nids are to 'normal' men in contrast to the marine. To help bring out that I'm also tempted to try out my first true scale.. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Tie his standoff/showdown into the base/surrounding area somehow is my advice. This could take the form of him being backed up against a ruined wall, almost about to be overrun by the bugs etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 My vote for Chapter is Scythes of the Emperor, for obvious reasons. I like dioramas, so I'll be following. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mek Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Ultramarine gets my vote. They have the whole tyrannic war veteran thing going for them already. Either way, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'll pitch another vote in for the Scythes of the Emperor. That would be great. Good luck on the build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 a lone marine *coughs* crimson fist sterngaurd sgt, SG bolter in one hand with his hand wrapped around a nids neck...POW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Styphus Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Scythes of the Emperor all the way. If you want to go all out, build a small cliff face, where the hormagaunts are scaling up to reach that lone marine at the edge, and have him blasting them away as they crest. It would be a lovely tribute to the Giant's Coffin engagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenguard2010 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Scythes Site The Scythes of the Emperor are not a chapter that I know very much about, but they sound awesome from what I've read here, and the true scale marines look amazing. We could very well have a winner.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Holy crap that is extreme dedication. 13 years... You've made a good choice (potentially). They were the original 'nid hunters*, so if that's the chapter you choose it doesn't seem out of place. ------------edit----------------- Speculation. In IA, chaplain Cassius calls in a SotE to help convince Megafists Calgar to form the Tyranid Hunters group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
