Olis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I've had similar ideas myself regarding my diy chapter and Ryza, although I've recently decided they've annoyed the AdMech somehow and have been cut off. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am liking your fluff, my chapter and yours can draw certain similarities. My companies all act independently and have Sternguard and Vanguard veterans in the main companies. Hopefully you will inspire me to start my own WIP here, can't wait to see your progress :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 The main reason for their close connection to the Forgeworld ( I really need to come up with a name for it someday ), is that I wanted to get more plasma weapons into the army, but the fluff for the standard chapter is that they misstrust plasma tech since it is not a weapon favored by Vulkan. So they are more like sisters of battle. Bolter, Flamer and Melta. And it explains why I have 3 fellblades in the chapter... One stormlord, one shadowsword and a custom format. Plus I like how it goes with the Salamander forge mentality, they should be more prone to that type of "faith" than the average marine ( iron hands being the worst...)

calgar101 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I am liking it Brother! Nothing that breaks the fluff or anything. My chapter too has access to big toys but we recovered them after a battle and forgot to give them back to the AdMech and have a shaky relationship with them at best ^_^ What colour scheme are you going for?

Asrech Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I try to stay "within bounds" of the fluff. I go against the standard, but not outside the realm of what could be. So no 5000 marine chapter, or that they have their own titans etc. As for colour schemes they are Terminators http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/CotI1stcompfini003.jpg Standard scheme http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/Displaytable027.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/blandat042.jpg Sternguards are marked by full robes (DA Vet models) http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0210.jpg Vanguard Objective ( Vanguards have white face-masks and tabbards, althought the obj has a halfrobe due to the entire lower body being greenstuff ). http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/TerminatorswipEXP003.jpg Tech cult http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/Techiesquad2dne008.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/TechiesArmy007.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That banner in the Terminator unit, just wow! That's one amazing paint job, I am really digging your scheme. I cannot wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Went over a batch of AoBR marines. I like them, but I hate having row after row of exactly the same pose. So after cutting off the arrow on the shoulder, I took off their heads. A quick round with the drill, a new head, and bam. Decent looking marines. Normal helmets http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0391.jpg Beakies http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0388.jpg Bare heads http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0390.jpg And "knight" helmets, these I leave alone, as they are awesome http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0389.jpg The pile of cut-off heads, and shavings from the drill (what was on the table, there's even more on the floor) http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0385.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just those simple head swaps make them look so much better, I'm a big fan of beakie helmets, absolutely love them! Shame we can't do anything with our shavings etc, I'll have masses of sprue's once I am done and all will have to go in the recycling bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 My hat comes off to you for having a near chapter full of marines, makes me slightly glad the Crimson fist were reduced to only just under 200 marines :tu: the paint shceme looks really good too. rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Nice head-swaps, brother. Keep those off-cuts, use 'em for terrain and basing. Even if you have to chop it up more, it's useful. I sweep my snippets and flecks into my sand box, keep it full of odd little pieces. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Last night was a night of pure ozone destruction. 185 marines primed. And a dread. Mainly bolter marines, about 30 spec weapons, and some heavy. Assault marines are next to be repaired and primed (and I need more primer...) 1.5 cans of GW primer later.... http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0400.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0394.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0405.jpg Cheers!

Olis Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I hope you did that in a well ventilated area, brother. The fumes can taste awful. :woot: That's an interesting claw on your dreadnought, there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar mikael Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 all those black marines! bet you wish you were doing BT or relictors. good luck, very impressive collection. great idea with the head swaps for the AOBR models. i may just have to go ebay shopping for some more!

calgar101 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Unusual Dreadnought you got there! I'm liking the marine horde you got going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Haha, the fumes are half the fun, gets the... creativity.. going. I am VERY thankful that I'm doing a part-black scheme, Ironhands would be a dream to do, but the green isn't that bad (I keep telling myself). The dread is an experiement. I have about 15 dreads, so I've done a few different CCW on them. I'll see how it looks once it's painted, if I don't like it I'll go back to a normal dread hand instead. For the BR marines, just cut off the head at the throat or collar with a wirecutter, then use a drill to make the hole for the neck. I like to do mine a little deeper than GWs standard, as I think their heads stick up a little too far normaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
