Iron Father Ferrum Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah, Sarganath as a Sallie is a no-brainer for the melta. As for Rook, I did want to say thanks to everyone who's voted for him for everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nathan Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Finally, I've gotten the final word from up high about posting the the mortals of this army here. The short answer is No. Due to this, I'm looking around for a different place to post the army, so all of you can enjoy it. I don't go to any other forums other than the B & C, so any suggestions of good, friendly forums would be helpful. friendliest forum ive found yet... http://swchq.co.uk/swcforum/index.php?sid=...3f56012d08296dc and dont be fooled its not all about spacewolves(seriously i only have one spacewolf model, though im thinking their codex for my iron warriors...)

Machine God Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 His post here... Red Dwarf reference? If so... +1. It wasn't meant to be, as AdMech are known in at least one book as having more than one brain for different tasks. But I will take the compliment where its due. The very idea that Maximillian DeWitt has a middle name of Kryten, that he has been infected by a Hex Virus and that one of his servo-arms is called Mr Fwibble is utterly preposterous! Next you'll have me naming his sevitors Skutters. Though I would say that Thorn is prime Arnold Rimmer material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 @Brother Nathan: Thanks, I'll check 'em out! Current votes for meltagunner are: Hastur Rook: 2 Tritus: 1 Sarganath:2 Keep 'em coming! Some updates on my end...I have begun collecting parts for this project, with each character getting their own little baggy full of bitz, lol. I'm making a Forgeworld order soon for some Mk. III, and IV plate, as it seems to be the 'in' thing right now, plus some of the older bolters. I'll be heading down to the local hobby shop this weekend to pick up some thicker gauge plasticard, so as to Truescale these fellas. Hopefully by Sunday evening, I'll have the first WIP up. Next, to show my devotion to this project, I am putting my Marines Malevolent on an indefinate hiatus. Honestly, I've run out of inspiration for them at this point, and I seriously need a break from them for a long while. A shame, yes, but I'd rather put a project on a long hold than begin to create sub-standard mini's. Finally, Hoist the Black Flag, men.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Excedis Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I quite like the flag..... adn oooh wips coming up! My only question would be is there a way to spikefy the skeleton? he seems a little goofy to me....but maybe thats just a loyalist speaking ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Oooooh Brother Excedis I like that idea. Spikify the skeleton! Edit: Looking at it again, I'm thinking maybe just a bit...like the shoulders or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Sooo...I tried some spikey shoulders on the skeleton, annnd...hell no, lol. He looked like he was about to jump into a game of Blood Bowl, lol. Personally, I think the flag is pretty solid. It gives the apperance that we are still Astartes, yet pirates and kings of Hell; Instead of Daemons who are kings. Mutating the skeleton just makes the flag look odd to me. Meh. Prove me wrong though, I'm welcome to it. I suck at photoshop, and I'm worse at paint, lol. Still need votes for the Meltagunners, gentlemen!!!!

Yogi Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Ah this thread moves swift. Nice work on the flag Captain. If I may offer a humble suggestion? Lower the skele so he is centered. There is a big gap below the feet, but none over the head. It irks my sensibilities.. haha. I would of probably made the crown smaller too but eh. Not sure about the dots either.. sorry. But I do like the inclusion of the arrows in the corners. I would probably make them a little bigger myself. Anyway great work feel free to ignore my crit. You did that in paint though yes? Pretty good. Meltagunners? The self promoting Iron hand, and the Sallie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biaz Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 haha, so pumped to see this warband come along! My votes go with the Sallie and Iron Hand too. As for wargear... hmm, can't really decided. i know I'd like a Twin-bolter to represent the stormbolter he may have wielded in his days as a loyalist, as for cc weapons, not really sure. I'm willing to hand artistic license over to you Heathens for this. I can't choose between a chainsword, power weapon or fist, and armour and mutations is totally up to you, i know I'll love how he turns out :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 @Yogi: Honestly, I'm not as good as you're thinking, lol. All I did was copy a pic of Edward Low's flag, and edited it in paint to add the crown and border. :lol: Thanks for the critique, I'll see what I can do. @Biaz: Thanks man, I'll make sure Callor looks like a monster with a TL Bolter, lol. Gimme some time, and I'll figure out a good CCW for him, depending on how the mini itself takes shape. Vote-wise for the Meltagunners, Sarganath is in the lead with 4, and rook and Maximillian are tied for second with 2 each. Looks like the Son of Medusa was able to make a last second turnaround with his mad ramblings, lol. We'll have to see if it's enough... Again, anyone who is good with paint or photoshop, and/or is a decent artist, I'd love for you to take a shot at our flag (Please!!!! lol). My computer-fu skills are weak, lol. All I ask is that it incorporates a Pirate theme, a skull or skeleton, and consist of only black and red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Pm sent. Actually might aswell discuss it here. Im happy to have a go at a flag. Do you want just a cleaned up version of what you have now or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 How about adding a trident and an 'old school' devil tail to the skeleton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 @Yogi: Got your PM bro, but yeah, I'd like to keep it high visibility within this thread so that all the Reavers can pitch their ideas, critiques or at the very least see where we are heading, thought wise. Honestly, any cool idea that you can come up with would be great, just please remember I gotta paint these buggers. Not too detailed please, I ain't Michaelangelo, lol. I chose the Red Skeleton because 1. Black flags and bones immedietly evoke a pirate feeling, and 2. I chose red because it was a sign that no mercy would be had, and no prisioners would be taken. I know Noctus is storming up some ideas for the flag as well, but he's having some computer issues at this time too. I'd love to see anything you got, mate! @Shuggnuggath: Maybe...Seems a bit "daemonic' though, and not all the Reavers' characters are chaos-worshipping psychopaths (note: not all, lol). Some are just mercenaries (Tanith's character, Serkan), or down on their luck renegades (Eerie's character, Kyres), or just not especially devout (Like my character, Akan). I'd like to still give the impression that most of us are still Post-Human...for now. Thanks for the input though, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogi Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Alright I have a think on it. Simple is how I like things anyway.. So I had a thought. It has to be simple. It has to be recognizable. Why reinvent the wheel? 2minutes in google and I found this. http://i.imgur.com/JK2UQ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/0LVlx.png I think that evokes pirates but is different enough and daemonic enough to also be chaos. Its also red. Nice an easy solution. I also think it would be easier to paint then the full skeleton. Just simplify it a bit.. Anyways that's my lazy contribution.

I've gotta say I'm totally down with this icon. Simple, effective and a damn sight easier for you to paint 1000heathens ;) Also, My vote for melta gunner goes to the sally and Hastur Rook. Now.....a way to promote Saa the Flayer as an Icon bearer......hmmmmmm ;) Saa .....or something like that Edit: Unless I'm misunderstanding, a question........why can we not have a WIP thread here on B&C??!??!?!?

Zincite Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Okay, after the mad ramblings I was just exposed to, I change my vote from Rook to the Insane Maxmillion. Hah. Zython gets his revenge for his own vote being switched away. :sweat: On the newer skull flag, I'd personally say whilst it invokes 'Pirates', it doesn't give the full 'privateer' thing as much. It gives more an impression of death and destruction, rather than pillage, ransacking, and general cutthroat-ing. Though it does look more chaos-y. To actually contribute a bit more, what about having the Skeleton holding a dripping axe in either hand? Would probably be relatively easy to paint, perhaps easier than the small hands, would add a bit of sinisterness, and could inspire the 'reaver' image. The problem, would be that painting it on shoulder pads would involve bending the axes around the curve of the pad, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine God Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Thank you fgor the votes guys. As to the Skull and Crossbones Flag.... Well it looks too comical to me, it looks if anything a bit too jolly, its smiling. If anything could make it better it would be a few branching cracks in the skull. I still prefer the original take on Low's Flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Ambroz Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I like the newer flag a bit more, seems like to give a better idea of chaotic pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Let me clarify real quick...I can paint Edward Low's flag, I'm quite confident of that. What I meant by 'not too detailed' would be something insane, like the Sistine Chapel. I'm a pretty decent painter, but I'm not gonna be winning any Golden Daemons anytime soon, lol. @Yogi: I have nothing against the classic skull and crossbones, just more against the particular style of the one you chose. We're a Reaver Warband, not Hell's Angels :D . Maybe if we could blend the two styles? I'll write more later, I gotta get to PT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
