Captain Semper Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well rumors of the 6th coming along this year, I thought I might as well get it before it's off the shelves... I never bothered with it before, had the rulebook and also had tons of mini's so I thought, I'll pass. Now I changed my mind and the pocket book rules all of a sudden justified the expense (not!). So I got it. And the marines are going to become an Unforgiven Successor! So any ideas as to which?

Candleshoes Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Give your amazing hand at: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p113/Darkbeastman/Angelsofvigilance.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p113/Darkbeastman/Angels_of_Vigilance_Livery.jpg http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110228033733/warhammer40k/images/4/47/Angels_of_Vigilance_Banner.jpg The 2nd founding Angels of Vigilance. Some tidbits from the usual sources: The Angels of Vigilance are a monastic Chapter of Loyalist Space Marines whose mysterious origins may go back to the bygone days of the Second Founding during the 31st Millennium. It is unknown from which Space Marines Legion their gene-seed was drawn, though the Angels of Vigilance themselves believe they are descended from the Dark Angels. They have stood silent vigil over the Eye of Terror as sentinels against the encroaching forces of Chaos for nearly ten millennia. Their Fortress Monastery is a huge orbital dock around the world Pervigilium, just outside the Cadian Gate. The Angels of Vigilance are especially good at fighting the forces of Chaos as they tend to encounter them during every Black Crusade, as they come through the Cadian Gate. Also, due to their proximity to the Eye of Terror, when the Cadian Gate becalms, they can be seen in their ships, moving into the Eye to fight the forces of Chaos in their own territory. The entire chapter has never been called up in one go, as each Marine swears an oath never to leave the Fortress Monastery undefended, and each time the chapter is called up, at least one company remains behind. Several times their Chapter Masters have failed to heed the calls of the High Lords of Terra, and their loyalty has been called into question by some quarters. It is likely that the Angels of Vigilance are at home around the planet Pervigilium as, just following the Horus Heresy, the planet was assaulted by the Dark Angels and the Angels placed a detachment to watch over the ruling caste, lest they stray from the Imperium again. The Angels of Vigilance' are one of only four chapters to have served in both the Third War for Armageddon and against the Thirteenth Black Crusade The Angels of Vigilance committed 6 companies to the Third War for Armageddon. The Angels of Vigilance committed 5 companies to fight against the 13th Black Crusade. Unique, great fluff, and it would push your painting skills!

Captain Semper Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Unique, great fluff, and it would push your painting skills! It certainly will, considering how challenging it was to get the yellow Consecrators eyes anywhere close to looking acceptable! This is my chance to look my deepest (modeling) fear in the eyes!!! :D Fantastic idea Candleshoes! I'll give it some serious consideration! Edit: isn't their chapter symbol too similar to the Consecrators one?

MadDoc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Here's another vote for the Angels of Vigilance. It'd be good to see some nicely rendered Angels of Vigilance Marines. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3038998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Another vote on Angels of Vigilance. Also, if you know anyone who plays orks and you're not interested in using the Deffkoptas, ask him if he wants them. My ork playing friend can't find those models anywhere.

Captain Semper Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, that's that then - Angels of Vigilance it is! Thx Watch Captain!

WatchCaptainAzrael Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Just tie up with plastic barbed wire a few mutilated Chaos Marines to your vehicles and no one will confuse them. Call it the fruits of the Hunt if they ask. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Hahaha! Will do! ;) I was actually thinking you'd suggest an Unforgiven Deathwatch force... :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 To each his own... But if you ever find yourself wondering what to do with spare tacs... :D On that note, if you do get around to do that, model Epistolary Zadkiel as their leader. He frequently works together with Unforgiven Kill-Teams, so he'd fit like a glove. Also, Zadkiel's a cool guy, he banishes Daemons without number and doesn't afraid of anything.

MadDoc Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well, that's that then - Angels of Vigilance it is! Thx Watch Captain! Now let's see how I can work out a orangey yellow so it will no be mistaken for Imperial Fists or Lamenters... Might I suggest the following method: - Iyanden Darksun (Averland Sunset) base colour - Bubonic Brown (Zamesi Desert) mid layer - Golden Yellow (Yriel Yellow) highlight layer - optionally blend with a light wash of Lamenter's Yellow glaze or Golden Yellow (Yriel Yellow). Just a idea, it should give a distinctive shade of yellow quite close to the colour in the artwork and have a nice level of depth. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millicant Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm too late to cast another vote for my own chapter: Angels of Absolution! Oh well - I'm sure they will look great!

whiteraven17708 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I love it, I cant wait to see some models painted... on a side note... I never thought of looking at "rumored" from DA are there any other ones that anyone knows of?

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 yes, I believe the Star Phantoms are rumoured to be so, though the DA deny it and, for some reason the Star Phantoms refuse to check into it. Another Chapter is the Relictors, supposed to be a mix of UM and DA geneseed (something I disagree with). I treat this as a rumour and consider them to be just UM successors of some sort or another ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaplain Lucifer Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I tried my hands on Angels of Vigilance and failed.. the yellow crushed me. I'm looking forward to see you picking them up. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thx MD! You're welcome Cap. I'm sorely tempted to try it on a single model myself, but I have a Paladin Champion and dual sword wielding Sergeant I have to finish before I start giving myself any new projects. :D I'll be home on Sunday, I'll get started then! ;) I look forward to seeing how it works out for you. Might I further suggest a black basecoat? You need to work in one or two more layers and build up to your desired colour, but I've found it makes for far richer/deeper colours that way, and its something I'd probably still do from a white basecoat anyway. Also, I think when it comes to yellow, a white base makes for bright candy-like shades of yellow (not really fitting for the Angels of Vigilance or any Unforgiven Chapter really) and it just lacks the depth working up from a black base gives you. Just MHO. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thx MD, I was actually going to use black undercoat anyway! Put me in a room with a grey plastic mini and a can of white spray and I won't be able to make the connection! :D Come to think of it though, I'll try one(!) mini and see where it gets me... Much like you said. ;) i mean I might be able to pull it through but there is a arbitrary time limit I'm setting on a rank'n file mini... If it takes more than that it just is not worth it... So I'll make one and test not only technique and colors but also time required...

He did it for a competition on the Fortress and this was his entrey Captain Lesage of the Angels of Vigilance. http://fortressofunforgiven.homestead.com/files/Img_Ch07_08LoU_HQ007_001.jpg Something to start with? ;) Look forward to your renditions!! ;) SG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250722-did-a-crazy-thing-today/#findComment-3039945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
