Hyaenidae Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 If I can avoid starting Void Stalker. Good luck on that one. I couldn't help myself, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge caster Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 I wouldn't start Void Stalker yet if I were you. I made that same mistake and spent all my free time reading! Saying that, it is an exceptionally good book and you could probably get through it in a few days. Good luck trying to resist!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscorps Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Good work everyone, I haven't really looked around B&C before (Just go to the Red Scorpions thread normally), nice to see the Badab War books are still getting some love. The Fire Angels are probably my favourites so far. I kinda wanted to do them as a second force but have kept pushing on with the RS instead of diversifying. Keep up the good work and I am keen to see more. - Redscorps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Sergeant Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Just a quick update on my progress. I'm happy with how the green has turned out. I'm in the process of painting all the details at the moment (pouches, grenades, cables, etc, etc). :) I love the kitted up Marines. My only question is how does that one guy draw the pistol on his right shoulder pad? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge caster Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Doh! I didn't even think about how he would draw his bolt pistol. I'll probably think about it everytime I look at him now. Perhaps he has a special pistol-servitor to draw it for him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he has a special pistol-servitor to draw it for him! He could be a little techy and have little mechandrites to do it for him. Enough of them bundled together could do the trick. I thought about this myself when arming my champs with a pistol and a powerfist. If he used his PF to reload, he would be holding the magazine cartridge in those bulky fingers with his pinky up and that ain't grim dark! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think whether their right or left-handedness is the problem. I think Veteran Sergeant is referring to the second Marine on the left. Take a close look at his right shoulder hand and think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirge caster Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ok, I've finally figured it out. He likes his power sword so much that he rarely uses ranged weapons. Therefore, he stores them in places where he can't really get to them. Well done me. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Retributor Alois, complete... Retributor Alois had always been known as a humble and quiet Astartes within the Astral Claws, an unusual trait considering the nature of the Chapter before it's fall. Nonetheless, Alois was always a welcome addition to any squad, and was counted as a dependable and stalwart warrior by his senior leadership and peers. Whenever a pinpoint assault had to be made, or a breach had to be held, Alois would be called upon. As such, it was a suprise to the LXII Auxillia Command when, at the height of the sacking of Hive Dominar, Alois abandoned his position and his brothers. Upon the mortal wounding of Lord Huron, a broadband message was sent to every Tyrant Legion Auxillia of his fate, and activating 'conditio loquitur', a demand that every member of the Auxillia fight to the death, and that the chain of command was suspended, so as to buy the Astral Claws command time to escape. Holding a precarious position as it was, Alois doomed his squadmates as he suddenly broke formation alongside 2nd Squads' sergeant, both running into the burning hab-districts, and leaving their brothers to a bloody fate. Inquisitorial Reports describe a warrior closely matching Alois's description loyally serving alongside the Sergeant he betrayed his brothers with, the Sergeant himself now well-known to the Imperium as a savage reaver with plans of his own....

Lachdannan Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Awesome work as always 1000heathens. It is with great regret that I am going to have to bow out of this challenge. Family situation has changed a little bit and am finding it harder and harder to have any hobby time let alone sleep time. On the up side that means someone else can have a go at this exclusive challenge. Wish you guys all the best and look forward to popping my head in and seeing what you come up with.

dirge caster Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looks like there's another place free which means that the Carcharadon Astra and the Tiger Claws are up for grabs if anyone wants them. As usual, the first people to ask on here get them. Please be aware though that the deadline for 5 marines is very close. Great work on those Astral Claws 1000Heathens. The poses and the paint work are excellent as always and thanks for adding the fluff. Your hard work is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Thanks, man. I appreciate you coming up with this idea, it was the inspiration I needed to get this old idea turned into a real project. I'm such a procrastinator, lol. It's a bummer you're droppin' out, Syth, but I totally understand. Family first. Hope everything works out for you, bro... take care.

Lachdannan Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Cheers 1000heathens, was looking forward to doing something different with these guys, but as you say family first. Toy soldiers can wait awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 @ dirge caster - Might I suggest seeing if you can grab one of the guys in the secondary thread run by emperors immortal? Maybe they'd be interested in joining 'Pool A'. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirge caster Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 I had a few spare hours today and I’ve managed to finish my 5 marines!!! I’m really pleased with how they turned out. My only regret is that they’re too dark and I wish I had used a lighter basecoat like gretchin green or even camo green. For next month’s challenge I’m going to add some lighter-coloured armour parts such as yellow and red. I want to add this guy’s chest plate. And this guy’s helmet.

Kizzdougs Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I've based the first three Fire Angels and assembled the last two. Sorry about the poor lighting in the pics.
