Captain Mike Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 @Kurgan: You sure? I mean... they're just orange trimmed ;) @Togusa SAn: Sadly, I've not even heard of that. Sorry for the let down! @ES: I hadn't even thought of that. It was designed as a crossover of a Rhino and a Chimera than anything else. I've stuck with the general design for a few years now. Chapter symbol! Only done it one guy so you can let me know what you think. Less flaming cake like? http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010081-3.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/P1010083-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Nurgling Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I liked the more organic head than the triangular one. Tip for the eyes: trim off the end of a toothpick (very close to the end) with an exacto blade to use as the point for the eyes. The tip of a brush can be very unforgiving, and inconsistent. If I ever make a DIY SM chapter I'm going to name them honey badgers. It will be the second best named DIY chapter I've heard of. Fire Badgers... lol awesome.

Captain Mike Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 In honesty I did too, but I can't paint it. The result would be horrifically inconsistent. My hope is to use more organic looks for back banners and such. I look forward to seeing the Honey Badgers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Richard Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I like the triangle..it works well and gets the point across.. easy to repeat with some degree of consistancy. I am very impressed with the transport..great idea! Now will you use wheels or hover jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Wheels. I like wheeled vehicles for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Pics may be neigh impossible to find but do a search for Rock Badger Space Marines by Shawn Kilgore and you hopefully you'll get some pics of another Badgers themed Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sorry it has been so long since an update. Real life writes the plot, and real life was exams. Anyway, I have some updates for you all. Not much, but enjoy. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010089-3.jpg (Drill your damn barrels!) Now I'm not too sure on the flames on this tank. On one hand I like the streekiness, on the other hand, it looks kind of c**p... http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010090-3.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010091-3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't like the box, but the Marines look great! Quite a nice, Halloween-ey colour scheme :o Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 What's up with the box? It's a bit too... Boxxy? -errm... I just don't really like the front of it or the mudguards. The rest of the design is cool though :whistling: Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Mike Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 I like the boxiness... and the mudguards... What's with the front though? The painting or the design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hahahaha :) quality name and theme for your Space Marines mate! As for your 'metal box' i dont mind it at all, its unique and a bit different. Mostly all Space Marine vehicles and wargear are bulky and box-like, so I think it fits in very well and is not a problem at all! Anyway thats just my two pence worth :P - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm personally dubious about the paintscheme on the front. My new way of making wheels has worked well though :) Pics when all four are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Lady and Gentlemen, I present probably the most adorable transport ever given to a Space Marine xD http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010093-2.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010094-2.jpg How can you shoot it's little face? http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010095-2.jpg (note: The plan was not to make it cute.

Captain Mike Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Moving on.. First 10 done! 9 Bolter Brothers and a sergeant. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010096.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010097.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subtlebrush Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Awesome Chapter! I was immediately reminded of a Space Badger Chapter I saw in my first WD issue that used Codex: Space Wolves. I think it was the issue that saw the release of the 3rd Edition Space Wolves Codex. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Sorry, didn't see your comments there. I love this Badger song. I want to see these Space Badgers! Anyway, moving on to scouts now. My idea is that these guys are pretty much sociopaths, who relish in the death that they cause, and even try and get "better kills". Bit like video game players. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010110.jpg http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010111.jpg And next to a Marine. I think the schemes match surprisingly well, personally. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010112.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Badgers have the biggest balls in proportion to their body size of all mammals second only to the blue whale and possibly some chap called Captain Mike - for calling his chapter the Fire Badgers. A really tongue in cheek name that I was unsure about when I first read this thread a while back but you are pulling it off mate. Keep it up.

Ammonius Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Good work! I like the Colors, the Triangle symbol, and the Name! By any chance, have you considered making a Fire Badger chapter master to use as a counts as Vulkan He'Stan? Then you'll really be able to bring the flamey goodness!

Captain Mike Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I had not! A good idea indeed. Something to consider later. On the subject of flamers... http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010113.jpg I got some new brushes (Revel, believe it or not) and they are wonderful. Makes detail work so much easier. The 00 brush is twice as sharp and half as long as Citadel's Fine Detail brush. Plus triangle grip so I don't slip. http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010114.jpg And for "oh c**p" factor, a battlesuit I had lying (literally) around http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr344/Captain_Mike_Parker/Fire%20Badgers/P1010115.jpg "Any last requests?"
