Mogsam Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Good day all, I've recently agreed to go to a doubles tournament in late June and the requirement is that it is 1000 points each. Unfortunately the rules state that I cannot play my usual guard army due to my ally using the same force, so instead I have decided to paint and produce a 1000 point marine army! Originally I had painted a Word Bearer pre-heresy scheme (Hence all the Mark IV armour) however it suffered from unimpressiveness in that grey on grey looked very unimpressive. As a result it has been kicked and replaced with a new chapter, one of my own design.... One that is bright yellow because camouflage is for girls. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0058.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/angledecending.jpg The theme of the chapter is one of drop pods. Every unit will deep strike in drop pods or teleport in. The current list I am looking at is this: Blood Angels Codex (Required to be able to get Terminators + Dread. Due to the rules of the tournament I cannot use 2 Elites with no Heavies or Fast, Blood Angels however can have Dreads as Heavies.) HQCaptain - 100 - May use the Apothecary model for the captain. He's lovely and it could be a quirk in the chapter.Elite - Tartoros Terminator Squad - 200 Troops -9 Marines - 154- Drop Pod 359 Marines - 154- Drop Pod 35Heavy -Dreadnought - Dual Autocannons -120 - Drop Pod 35 It leaves me with 167 points left for equipment.

Mogsam Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Ah! There was some consideration for them! They've got a good approach to saving the imperium! But I went with a DIY chapter instead! I've still got to learn some weathering techniques though. Fantasy doesn't really have that problem.

Mogsam Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Two updates! A Contemptor with all of his yellow blocked in and mostly highlighted and a drop pod that is finished on yellow and just needs black highlighting/silver work. Incidently the drop pods are a pain and the doors never seem to close properly. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0061.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0060.jpg I need a chapter symbol to take away from the flat colour that happens alot on this scheme. Similarly any other ideas on breaking it up?

Mogsam Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 My first attempt at weathering a drop pod! Coming from a fantasy background it is a bit of a learning curve to weather vehicles like this.. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0062.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274677-angels-descendant-diy-chapter-update-3513/#findComment-3363649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 A quick army shot so far. Each squad will only have 8 or 9 members to keep points down for now. I'll try to get a 3rd drop pod from my LGS tomorrow and I'm considering an apothecary conversion for the general still. If I have time before the tournament I also have some scouts that could be painted very quickly. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0064.jpg[/url] http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0065.jpg[/url] http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/IMG_0066.jpg[/url] Thoughts and comments would be appreciated.

Mogsam Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/scout.jpeg A quick scout to see how a copper shade of skin would look. It doesn't transfer well to photo as it is a bit more metallic. Thoughts?

Mogsam Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/sigils.jpg Considering what to use as the chapter symbol so I knocked some potentials up in Illustrator. Since I work for one the worlds biggest printing companies I can make my own very high quality waterslides without much effort so I'm going down that route. I'm tempted to just go for a simple symbol however.

Aqui Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The yellow looks very good ^_^ The weathering looks effective without being "too much" if that makes sense. I must admit, when I first saw them the MM's did spring to mind, but when those transfers go on, there'll be no doubt that they aren't. I quite like the first and fourth symbols ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274677-angels-descendant-diy-chapter-update-3513/#findComment-3373195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogsam Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 I think I'll go with the bull. THanks for the comments! I will have new images soon of the tartoros marines!

Mogsam Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Some updates! The entire army sans a command figure who I am awaiting the parts for from Ebay! http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/al.jpg A tartoros terminator. The highlights suck in the light in this room but the black is grey cornered! http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll277/mogsam_moogle/terminator.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274677-angels-descendant-diy-chapter-update-3513/#findComment-3376104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
