Monstra Sumus Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Small update this time, but I like to believe I'm slowly refining my painting process. Let me know what you think. http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/856550_10152571569420156_1966892724_o.jpg Vengeance Marine with P.Fist, pre wash and final detailing. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/857278_10152571569415156_293573805_o.jpg Post wash and touch ups. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/857744_10152574609615156_435006895_o.jpg Vengeance Marine with SS, pre wash and final detailing. http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/823621_10152574609630156_1215011566_o.jpg http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/823396_10152574610155156_454458877_o.jpg Post wash and touch ups. As I said, gritty and in the middle of a battle is the feel I'm giving the army so no shiny Marines here, no sir. Also, check what I discovered when moving things the other day... http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/64552_10152571582280156_37298007_n.jpg My very first thing GW. Cheers, BT.

Monstra Sumus Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Quick update. The first ten man squad of the Teeth of Vengeance (Assault Marines) are done. http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/843795_10152585788965156_1430104230_o.jpg http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/858033_10152585789055156_413847787_o.jpg http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/823407_10152585789080156_1489628085_o.jpg http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/857660_10152585789210156_903633004_o.jpg http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/856232_10152585789260156_978742854_o.jpg http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/830240_10152585789340156_32917506_o.jpg Squad Callisto. http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/859981_10152585789480156_258503337_o.jpg These guys absolutely destroyed everything they touched in a game I ran in last night. 2000 pts a side, 4 men, Imperium vs Chaos. In my 1000 set up this ten man squad chewed through a squad of Plague Marines, Cultists(MoN) and Terminators (MoN). They earned their point cost twice over. Also, the 3rd Crusade have a new toy in their arsenal, which claimed half a squad of Plague Marines itself. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/858511_10152585789850156_1465934143_o.jpg Thanks lads, more to come soon.

War Angel Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 These guys have been great fun to look through. The dirty look really suits them well, that blood on the chainswords looks great. Blood and guts. I have to ask, why are all of you're assault marines feet on the ground? I don't think one of them has the running legs. Also where did you get the chain tabard? I love the kitbashing of the BT and I also noticed some death company parts in there as well. What codex do you play these guys as? (Power fist and storm shield on two different models in one squad? Is that a vanguard squad?) Can I request an army picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hey fella, I'm using the Black Templars codex, which accounts for the really odd war gear choices but it seriously works like a charm. Four games in total and haven't lost one guy yet from that squad. They just chew through everything, they are a pricey squad but worth it. The lack of running legs is just a personal choice if I'm honest, I don't like their supposed dynamic posing, I think their rather static poses convey a more menacing look to them, as if they've just hacked their way through an entire horde of men and are looking for you. The chain tabard is actually from the Chaos Space Marine box, I've used a lot of CSM parts and simply shaved off the Chaos stars, they fit really well as older and more unique marks of armour. I've gone for such a rag tag mash of parts due to the fact that I see my Malevolent's as constantly crusading, so they aren't above ransacking shrines and battlefields for old equipment and damaged suits of armour that are left behind. Want not, waste not. Also, since you asked, here's some army shots of my 1500 bar my Terminators (the bodies haven't arrived yet) http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/857615_10152586013595156_1914455356_o.jpg http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/859814_10152586014460156_1014695295_o.jpg http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/859630_10152586013625156_1696647971_o.jpg http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/843980_10152586013920156_1082983520_o.jpg http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/857475_10152586014005156_1427566940_o.jpg Any other questions, I'm happy to answer.

War Angel Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for the quick answer, and the pics, it's nice to see so many marines ready for battle. Do you use the new chaos box or the old one? And if it the new one, how do you find the kit to be? Is tere a lot of usable stuff or does some of it have to be left aside? Also what's you're army list look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 When I picked up the bulk of this army I just slapped two Chaos Space Marine squads ontop of the shopping list and they mesh well with the more Imperial parts. A lot of it does get left aside, but my younger brother is a Chaos player so nothing goes to waste. I'd say all of the weapons and shoulder pads are usable once the stars are shaved off and a lot of the heads and torsos are able to be re-purposed. As it stands, I've stated 2500 points which can be broken down to 1000, 750 and 500 respectively. The list is; Castellan (P.Sword, Artificer Armour, B.Pistol, Bolter) 106Emperors Champion (Accept the odds) 140 Sword Brethren Terminators (2 x assault cannon) 240Dread (Assault Cannon, Heavy Flamer) 115Dread (M.Melta, S.Bolter) 115Drop Pod 30C.Squad (P.Sword) 140C.Squad (P.Gun, H.Bolter) 171C.Squad (H.Bolter, M.Gun) 175C.Squad (P.Fist) 175 Assault Squad (Flamer, P.Pistol, S.Shield, P.Fist) 246Assault Squad (Flamer, Flamer, P.Weapon) 242 Land Speeder (M.Melta) 65 Storm Raven (TL M.Melta, TL P.Cannon, Locator Beacon) 215Vindicator (E.Armour, D.Blade, S.Bolter) 145Predator (E.Armour, D.Blade) 180 Total: 2500. I am trying to decide whether or not it's worth dropping the Predator and Landspeeder for another Storm Raven and outfit it as anti-infantry. The army is a bit eclectic but four games in at 500, 750 and 1000 points it hasn't failed me as yet. As it stands all I have left to build are the Terminators (when they get here), the other Assault Squad and two more Crusader Squads. Then it's deciding on the 2 SRaven's or the above.

Monstra Sumus Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Teeny tiny update. Got onto the first Crusader squad tonight, deciding to paint up my plasma gunner. http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/861234_10152590783585156_231978536_o.jpg http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/823525_10152590783525156_409344802_o.jpg http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/860193_10152590783530156_442133418_o.jpg For having no bronze paint, I think the muzzle on the Plasma gun came out quite well. The coils could be better but it's the only plasma gun in the army aside from a pistol. Cheers, BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstra Sumus Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Another super small update. http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/882197_10152596721465156_1701745208_o.jpg Crusade Squad Diomedes is born and ready for a spraying. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/860737_10152597500840156_1356157614_o.jpg The first half of my second Vengeance squad, Squad Heracles (wink wink). To finish these guys I'm waiting on a MK5 assault squad from FW. My Cataphractii should turn up tomorrow with a bit of luck and then all that's left to be done after that is purchase the bits to make my last Crusade Squad and 2 Storm Ravens. Then it's down to painting the rest of the 3rd Crusade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I went back and re painted all of the guys 'junk'n'trunks' to make them fit with the actual colour scheme. http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/887009_10152602591455156_1291384495_o.jpg Cheers, BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Got busy today, so painted up more Crusader Marines. I know you guys like pictures, so here you go. Sergeant Claudius.Below is the only Malevolent in my Crusade to have survived service with the Deathwatch, he's the oldest Marine in the Crusade other than the Dreadnoughts. They aren't complete as yet. I've still got the Decals to do for them and some minor imperfections to touch up. Cheers, BT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstra Sumus Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Cheers bro, the fact I'm gaming regularly again is helping spur me on to getting the army finished.

Monstra Sumus Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Okay, so I decided to break out the brush after a long day so, after a week or so of nothing I got cracking on the Cataphractii. I present one, sort of done Terminator. He needs a good few touch ups, but at least I'm starting to keep within the lines properly!
