TheReclusiarch Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Greetings! Alright, it's time I took some time to get back into the hobby and my first order of business is to re-imagine my old Chapter, The Artifactors. This time around I wanted to make them look somewhat more "official" with the chapter symbol on the left shoulderpad and the tactical arrow on the right. Unfortunately I did not find any tactical arrow shoulder pads that met my standards, so I'm going to go with transfers once I get there (first time I'll work with setting solutions for decals!). For the shoulderpads I went with Puppetswar's Apis shoulderpads. Luckily I had lots and lots of bits left from making both a Grey Knights army and another Space Marine army, so I went crazy with purity seals, books, pockets, etc. I want the models to be busy and each of my marines to have plenty of honours; I want them all to look semi-heroic, at least! Captain Nathaniel of the Artifactor's second company (WIP) http://www.enharjarna.org/David/2012/captainfront.jpghttp://www.enharjarna.org/David/2012/captainback.jpg The first "mid-ranged hero" I ever created. You can just barely see back of the grenade launcher at the side of the combi-melta (going to take a photo of that later!). The head is ordered from Puppetswar (great quality stuff from there) while the model itself is a converted Forge World Captain. I removed the helmet he held in his hand and put a sword there instead, as well as giving him a monsterous ranged weapon in his other hand. The icon on his back is to show his Deathwatch honours (one skull with an inquisitorial I for each tour of duty). The skullprobe is from the Grey Knights sprue I believe. Other than that I gave him more purity seals and books, got to love 'em! 2nd Company Tactical Marines, 1st squad http://www.enharjarna.org/David/2012/squad.jpg http://www.enharjarna.org/David/2012/squadback.jpg Here you can easily see the shoulder pads from puppetswar. Used several heads from Sanguinary Guard, but removed the Blood Angel iconography. The Sergeant got a venerable dreadnought helmet.

subtlebrush Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Uhm Captain Nathaniel is amazing! He just looks so bad ass. That Sergeant/normal marine is awesome as well (the one with his helmet in his hand lol). Love the bullet holes and the look of frustration on his face...perfect.
