Unknown Chronicler Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 ok update time brothers and sisters, so what I bought today was a Devastator Squad and a Rhino. Now the Dev. Squad is done but the Rhino is WIP. So without further ado let me introduce you to Squad Taranium: Sergeant Taranium: Squad guardian, Brother Nemerion: Las-gunner, Brother Brael: Heavy Bolter, Brother Zalar: and the best and sexiest of them all...heavy specialist and former Death Watch, Brother Sarakul: Hope you guys enjoyed the new installments of my chapter, and the Rhino will be posted when it is done, you guys and I promise this will be in love with it. So C&C is welcome, cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The intial batch of images contains some really good conversions and poses but there is one niggle; you've put the Deathwatch pauldron on the left shoulder, which is usually the pauldron that denotes Chapter allegiance. That doesn't take away that you have some wonderful Marines, I'm just a little bit "special" about stupid things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 *scratches head* Oh I never noticed that, I thought it didn't matter where the heraldry would be. Well now that I know I won't make those mistakes again, thanks for the input, didn't know that ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Chronicler Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Looking great! very stunning conversion! but dont forget those mold lines! :tu: keep it up! oh I won't I just couldn't wait to post so I just took the picture and went with it ;). Haven't been this excited since I got a chainsword for christmas. But yeah if anybody thinks I should improve a marines or two then just let me know, cause I think the las-gunner needs some more conversion or so, opinions?

Biohazard Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Great looking conversions. I especially like the HB marine taking cover to find his target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Kovash Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Beautiful conversion work so far, I'm really liking the whole lot of them. Now comes the most important part: picking a Chapter and throwing paint on them. Don't keep us in suspense, get to work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cirrius Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Those ghost marines would make some awesome Lost and the Damned :) And where did you get this AWESOME sword on this guy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 The intial batch of images contains some really good conversions and poses but there is one niggle; you've put the Deathwatch pauldron on the left shoulder, which is usually the pauldron that denotes Chapter allegiance. That doesn't take away that you have some wonderful Marines, I'm just a little bit "special" about stupid things. Actually the deathwatch members keeps the Inquisitorial shoulder pad on his left side, and his Chapter symbol is on his right. link A marine that has not served the Deathwatch will have his chapter symbol on the left side, or unless he's wearing terminator armor. Note: It really does not matter what side its on anyways since I've seen the heraldry on both side before. But in every IA from GW has the chapter symbol on the left shoulder. @ Coldwinter any ideas what your color's might look like? Or what type of chapter name your looking for?

Unknown Chronicler Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 ok another update for this week, and I hope you like it since now the Rhino is done. Now I'm seen as unorthodox so sometimes I just add scenery and you can't use it for the game, but it looks cool. So I hope you like my lead Rhino, possible for a Deathwatch squad or so. I call Primus Rhinus, since it is heavily modified and well equipped for battle, enjoy!: front left side right side and before anybody points out you can't use it in a game, I already know. I just added it for fluff and awesomness, and also just cause I felt to do it. C&C is welcome as always @ Captain Cirrius the sword was from the new raptor kit from the Chaos Space Marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizara Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I would defintiely say it is more of a modified razorback than a rhino. I can't see that thing holding 10 guys in it, especially since the side exits are taken up by the sponson. It would be better suited as a razorback, that way you can still use it and field it, and just say they are twin linked lascannons or Multimeltas and say that the plasma beams are focused for a stonger but narrow beam. You could even go a little further and make some modifications to the plasmacannons themselves to fit the fluff of it shooting an intense beam of plasma energy instead of a burst. Keep up the good work, it does make for an impressive ride though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that sounds like a really nice idea since I would only make a five man squad, thanks for the comment! I'll be sure to add the necessary modifications next week!

lotsa_terminators Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Those plasma cannon sponsons, oh, the magnificence -_- Seriously, fantastic conversions. Any thought to why your chapter has such obviously good ties to the Deathwatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This is some top-notch work. Love the creativity you're bringing to the standard Space Marine range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Those plasma cannon sponsons, oh, the magnificence :thanks: Seriously, fantastic conversions. Any thought to why your chapter has such obviously good ties to the Deathwatch? Well I want to give my chapter a horrific event, close to the Crimson Fists but not exactly. And that many marines after this event dedicated themselves to hunting and expunging xenos more so then before that tragic moment, so now many battle brothers are being recruited to the Deathwatch just because of their expertise in battle and their utter devotion to the god emperor, I will make an IA when I flesh it out more, so after I do the painting. The end of this week, friday more so, I will hopefully get more minis, anyone have an idea what exactly I should buy? Because I'm open to making any squad or hero at the moment and would love to hear your input or opinion. Thanks brothers for your kind critisms and words, I will try to never dissapoint.

fivepointedstar Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 That tank looks ace. But its not a Rhino, or a Razorback its a Mauler variant. The Marine Malevolent player zxyogi made one in his thread . Looks good thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 I have to say I never saw his thread before, but I love those flamer sponsers :P. Now I'm going to have to make more of those beauties in time. But since I'm doing a Wharhammer 40k game for now, it will have to be a Razorback but modified to my Chapters homeworld productions. I will be looking at his thread for sure, mabye I can take a few snippets for my own ideas. Stay tuned until the end of the week for another update, it may become Ironclad (hint hint). EDIT: I think mine will be more diverse though from his mauler since the ammo is carried inside and is used for quick frontal assault and not transportation necessarily. But I do love the name maulers, might have to make something as awesome of a name as that. Ironclad and possibly a trike will come up next...you won't believe the poses I am thinking of :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messor Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 This stuff just gets better and better, dat Rhino! And I can't wait to hear what kind of fluff gave rise to those Ghost Warriors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazarou Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 damn, they're looking cool. Look forward to seeing them painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well Messor it seems I have a rough draft for fluff on the Ghost warriors, though if anybody wants to know I'll write a story just post and I'll edit it in or make a new reply :cuss. Glad everyone loves them, I may make more afterall when I'm done with the bulk of the army :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Very cool mate! The Ghost Warriors look brilliant, though the flames kinda remind me of the Flame Falcons. - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Chronicler Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 Very cool mate! The Ghost Warriors look brilliant, though the flames kinda remind me of the Flame Falcons. - EgoDraconumNigrorum I have to agree, though it still looks ok I'm going to have to work on my greenstuffing flames. Ok now to update you guys on my chapter! Chapter Name: Knights Templar (Not sure if this sounds right or not, since it sounds like something is just....missing. Let me know what you guys think) Homeworld: Terrius Prime Warcry: For the Living! We March! Founding: 2nd founding Successors: Data lost, unknown heritage Chapter number: 217 (unknown number of marines, estimated to be around 700 atm) Primarch: Rogal Dorn (suspected) Chapter Master: Grand Knight Patricius Sumeraisle Allegiance: The Imperium of Man (of course ;) ) Colours: so far I'm deciding either: Black, gold trimmings, and white for shoulder pads or Silver, gold trimmings and white shoulder pads just let me know what you guys think, C&C is welcome as always brothers! EDIT: I haven't decided on a heraldry yet, and so currently I am open for ideas, just let me know what you guys think is best for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
