Brother Melice Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 ok, so I successfully came to a complete halt with my Sons Of Gorgon army, due to alot of factors, not enough time form real life, burned out, and BORED out of my scull with a DIY chapter with a cheesy flluff. I had an idea to build a True Scale Nathaniel Garro model, and he is underway, but i found something hopefully to bring that spark back. I love the concept of a true scale army, the sstonished look of dread from opponent at a game, and they just look badass. What I can not make up my mind on, is what chapter to build in True Scale??? I deff want loyalists, (sorry Chaos Gods) but also do not want to build an army that has been done, so, I know of these armies done in True Scale: Alpha Legion -Migsula Night Lords- Doghouse World Eaters- Doghouse, Synapse Ultramarines -Apologist Luna Wolves- Sons of Horus- Apologist Blood Angels- Dark Angels- Black Templars- Sersi Space Wolves Scythes of the Emperor Howling Griffons- Synapse That's all I know. So the thing for me is to find a chapter that has not been done in True Scale, and has lots of fluff and info that I can work off. I'm thinking: Iron Snakes + Legio Bolter and Chainsword Pre Heresy Emperor's Children + Red Scorpions + Minotaurs + Pre Heresy Salamanders Imperial Fists + Iron Warriors ++ Pre Heresy Dark Angels + What are your suggestions? any other chapters?

Grotsmasha Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I'd love to see some PH Emperors Children, but there's one issue, and it what has stalled my own TS project. True Scaling PH armies means PH armour marks, meaning mucho GS work. But if you're handy with GS, I think the ECs would turn out awesome. My backup vote is for the Red Scorpians.

cathar the great Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 synapse did Pre-Heresy World Eaters and that chapter with the quartered yellow/red scheme (can't remember the name right now), both in Truescale, though they were a bit bigger that other truescale projects. Off the top of my head, what I have never seen before in Truescale are Salamanders, and I've never even seen a Pre-Heresy Salamander army in any scale.

Cheers, Jono The Pre Heresy Emperors Children are actually on the bottom of my list, as there was Pre Hersey Emperor's Children army done, and I see it almost impossible not to pledurize from Proximity (that's the guy's Nick on Dakka) Secon, you are right about armor marks being a n issue, but I like a challenge, Any way I'll leave that idea for the last. synapse did Pre-Heresy World Eaters and that chapter with the quartered yellow/red scheme (can't remember the name right now), both in Truescale, though they were a bit bigger that other truescale projects. Off the top of my head, what I have never seen before in Truescale are Salamanders, and I've never even seen a Pre-Heresy Salamander army in any scale. Were not the Salamanders the same back then??? As Ultramarines and Blood Angels? any way? Im already running a 1850 something like 12 melta list :cuss But Added to the list. Also I'll be adding a plus for every chapter that gets s vote.

Doghouse Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I've seen Death Guard, Space Wolves and Luna wolves all done in truescale. At the end of the day mate I wouldn't worry about doing something that someone else has already done. If you do want to do something a little more different one of the second list is probably the best way to go. Don't rule out the pre-heresy guys that are already being done though mate, there are so many companies in each Legion that you still have plenty of room to play around. :P Minotaurs are going to be getting a lot of love in the new IA book set on a penal world so they'll be getting more info I expect.

Natanael Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I say go with PH Salamanders. They dont get a lot of love, and they can be pretty cool with the bulkier build that true scale usually gives. Also, fire is cool =) - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Runner Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I've seen true scale Darj Angels, both on Warseer and my own army - I just don't post pic's that much :lol: and it also depends on your view - there are as many versions of 'true scale' as there are TS armies. I like to call mine 'enlarged' marines - still use the normal legs, but with spacers and bulked armour. If you want to go for something that hasn't been done and are staying wioth a loyalist stance, might I be so bold as to venture the following possiblities: Heresy-Era Iron Hands Heresy-Era Raven Guard Both very distinct armies and a whole raft of possiblities. If you're open to the tainted persuasion, I'd say Heresy-Era Word Bearers - very few of those if any in TS and a real possiblity for granite grey, script work and flaming braziers - potentially Grey Knights with a darker sinister tone :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yes! You've finally gotten the True-Scale bug! If anything I would suggest Iron Snakes (I'm re-reading the Brothers of Snake novel for the 3rd time, I love it). I still want to make a "normal" scale force but would love to see someones take on them in TS. That or Scythes of the Emperor (smaller numbers so its faster to get an army together). Actually I think someone already did them in True Scale, I just cant remember who ;) Maybe Minotaurs, they seem very interesting from a fluff perspective. Everyone's doing some kind of Charcharodons force so avoid them haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Being bigger, they'll also get shot a lot easier! WOOOOT! Well, woot for your opponents, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 True Scale Imperial Fists maybe? Haven't seen any of those. I guess it's hard to hide any flaws in the modelling with such a bright color scheme, though. Still, if done right, it could be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've been fighting the True Scale bug for a long time, but talking with Doghouse, Mikhail, and some snooping around sites on them, have got me beat.. I'd like to avoid black armor chapters, mainly because i think black armies are over done, every where you look, every one and their grand ma runs a black power armor army, so no no to black templars or any other chalpain-envy chapters. Im not really worried about them being shot up because they stick out, I'm not a very good gamer, so a marine lost, marine made his save, is not a big deal, i'm still loosing :P Imperial fists is up for consideration now...

Hyaenidae Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Imperial Fists, all the way. Hells yes. That soooo gets my vote! On a side note, I would kill a Custodian in front of the Emperor Himself to see some True Scale Iron Warriors. That would be a sick army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Melice Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I'm gong to stay away from Custodians, there is a weird antipathy for them, can't really pick out what i don't like, so just i'll say no. fist get a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Lol, no brother, I was just saying how much I'd love to see an Iron Warriors Army in Truescale that I would do something terrible to make it happen, like killing a Custodian. :yes: But now that you mention it...hmm...

Brother Melice Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'm not in love with the Iron Warriors myself, never liked their fluff, but I would be a flaming fool if I did not recognize all the modeling potential from starting a force of them. So, I will pitch them into the vote, and even though they are leading right now, they will be at the bottom of my consideration list. Sorry guys.

Brother Melice Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 thats what I'm leaning towards Doghouse, ether Dark Angels or Iron Snakes, its just something about having Feel No Pain in every squad that has me sold... plus I love the colors ....

Hyaenidae Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If that's the path you're deciding on, my friend, then I'd have to vote for Pre-Heresy Dark Angels as well. I think you could really do them justice, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
