Redfinger Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Here is another installment in my tribute to the humble tactical marine. The effort in the chapter build is to make each model unique in some way, pose, way of holding weapon, what ever....and especially getting rid of that damned space marine two-step pose "lean to the left....lean to the right" I will eventually build the entire 5th company, but right now I am working on a 2k list. Enjoy! First up, the fella to lead them all in battle, my take on Captain Khrusaor, accoarding to the B&C Libraium he is the current captain of the 5th, it is not mentioned if that is pre or post the "Ultrmarines" movie Next up is my Chaplain, according to the Lexicanum Chaplain Carnak was at one point the Chaplain assigned to the, 5th, so that is who this guy is. I purposefully kept his garb simple, I dont imagine that the Fist's would be ones for pomp and image, so I wanted a simple more "priestly" look for this guy, hence the staff in place of a mace, and the simple robe. Next up is the Company Champion for my Command Squad. Here I did want to bring a little bit of bling and that is why I went with the GK helmet, I think it fits nicely. Also, this guy has to scream 'Bad A$$" and I am sorry, but the current company champion model just does'nt do it for me. What better way is there to say that "I am a bad a$$" than to be wielding 2! swords? The Grey Knight shield serves the purpose of the combat shield, I went more of a buckler approach, and he has a bolt pistol in a holster on his hip, there he is WYSIWYG.... Lastly, here is just a few more Tacticals that have joined the ranks, a Sergeant, and his 3 tactical brothers, nothing special, just "Bad A$$" poses! Enjoy! Was going for kind of a "modern soldier" pose on this one, tried to reposition the arms to hold the bolter like the boys in the field currently do...

Machinepriest Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Very nice Marines! I especially like the Company Champion. Hope to see these guys painted soon :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235248-bad-a-space-marines-update/#findComment-2833143 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 The Champion looks as if he is drawing a line in the ground, just daring his challenger to cross it. What could more Bad A$$ than that?

Redfinger Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Thanks for the feed back guys. The idea for the Champion came to me when I was reading about the "Feast of Blades", a ceremony that the Fists participate in, I could just see this guys standing in an arena posed like that.....waiting......

ElTanko Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Same as the rest, great models, but that champion is great, fantastic pose. ElTanko Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235248-bad-a-space-marines-update/#findComment-2833649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieronymus Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I love the pose on the Champion. Very bold and striking! Can't wait to see him painted.

Don the Oiler Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 A Space Marine aiming down his sights? Everyone knows the standard Codex Astartes bolter aiming position is from the hips spray-and-pray. Must be a badly briefed Lacrymole insurgent, kill him! Seriously though, very nice poses.

Dorns Padawan Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I really like how you have posed these marines, very good work sir! Certainly gives them the IF look being as they specialise in city warfare. Looking forward to seeing more WIP pics!

Redfinger Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks for all the feedback guys. I am working on a test model right now for my paint scheme, the first guys I did I was not too happy with, so I wanted to try it again, I will post some pics when I am done.

Hyaenidae Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 The Champ really warms my heart. He almost reminds me of the Imperial Fist Captain from Storm of Iron with those twin blades. Awesome job, looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235248-bad-a-space-marines-update/#findComment-2834581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
