Aerethan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Red_Hunters#.UVPTaleJTMF So, Inquisitor Marines. I'm not doing the decals because printing my own or buying the 1/2 of the Vraks decal set would be a huge waste of money. Instead I'm opting for etched brass and GK shoulders. In keeping with the Inquisitorial nature, I'm using 90% Grey Knights parts as they fit aesthetically with what I want. I love the GK helmets and armor. A few notes for the fluff nuts out there: I'm very much aware of the GK chapter symbol being on all the armor. I'm fine with it, as it isn't as distinguishable as other chapter symbols and the drastic color scheme difference is enough of a departure to identify them as non GK marines. Also, the biggest reasoning behind using the GK Termie heads for regular marines is a matter of price. They are less than 1/2 the price of using the Knight heads, and there is a larger variety of them. Design notes: No skin. Every model in the army is fully armored. All tactical marines will be rocking Umbra Ferrox bolters, GK flamers, and Heresy heavy weapons. From a gaming perspective, I decided to run Vulkan as the HQ due to his rules and buffs. WYSIWYG nazis may be turned off by my kitbash not having a cloak, and they can just go ahead and avoid games with me if it's really going to ruin their day. I did get the important elements right though: Spear, arm mounted heavy flamer, power armor. All of the pieces are fairly easy to identify. Under the shield on the flamer is where the fuel can sits. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1488_zps5a3935ea.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1489_zps547a7b68.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1490_zps7d11d642.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1491_zps3b49a0ef.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1492_zpsa9d3b821.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1493_zps0455ede5.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1494_zps71a33690.jpg Here is my sergeant for my first of 2 tactical squads. http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1495_zpsae741e4d.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/IMG_1496_zpse5bb9060.jpg My MkIII Iron Armor marines will be used as Sternguard Veterans.

Aerethan Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Update, tonight we have my MkIII Sternguard Veterans with Combi-Meltas. Just need to hard line some armor, finish the backpacks and drybrush and edge the bases.The red isn't blended as well as the lighting makes it seem sadly. I won't be building a light box until my move to Texas next year as I don't have room for one right now.http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/Red%20Hunters/IMG_2015_zps6d5504c3.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/Red%20Hunters/IMG_2016_zpsa1be59a9.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/Red%20Hunters/IMG_2017_zps196442b6.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/Red%20Hunters/IMG_2018_zpsa526cc1c.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/Red%20Hunters/IMG_2019_zps9ef0a51b.jpghttp://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u285/drummerpunk7/Red%20Hunters/IMG_2020_zpsc2cada63.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
