[Brother Ambroz]

They look good man, a litle dark lighting wise but good. Was actually just playing the space marine video game as a Scythe of the Emperor....really like their color scheme. Very unique. Also keep up the "bad things" you've been doing! :P

[jakeraven]

thanks again...now some work and then i'll get back to painting some scythes of the Emperor!

[jakeraven]

any suggestions to what units i should add to my scythes?  thunder fire cannon is a no...lol

[Kierdale]

Beautiful colours on your chaos pieces! Very striking. I particularly like the Nurgle dread.

 

For your Scythes you seem to have most of the units I want/plan to get/would suggest...

Trying to remember what you've got and not got...

How about some Scout bikers? Attack bikes?

Sternguard in drop pods?

[jakeraven]

yeah i cant wait to see ur scythes, yeah i need to get some drop pods....and i am gona make another sternguard squad as i have pedro and i need to paint him up and use him....

thanks again for the comments...im gona work on some chaos stuff and post them up later

[deathspectersgt7]

A4 Hvy bolter dev sqd ,And I'd wait to pick up a new sternguard and a new vanguard sqd.Also a vindicator.

[jakeraven]

oh yeah..hvy bolter dev squad would rock...i think i might have in my bitz box...yeah i need to get a vindicator...my Blood Angels have one and its cool...yeah new boxes coming out...so ill wait on them...thanks!

[Monstra Sumus]

I don't leave home without my Vindicator or my Heavy Bolters. 

 

I find the Terminator blob supported by a firesupport Dread and Sternguard works fantastically. 

[Kierdale]

Just had one idea:
Legion of the Damned as the ghosts of fallen Scythes? Do them with their armour all hacked up as if they were killed by Tyranids...perhaps use some WHFB Zombie parts...

Shooting ignores cover too.

[jakeraven]

omg that is a great idea!

 

and yeah i ordered a vindicator from the gw store today along with some much needed paints n stuff...thanks for the great ideas! 

i wish there was a adeptus astartes article about the scythes i have looked through all my old chapter approved books and didnt

see one...

[Kierdale]

You're welcome! :) I might do it myself too somewhere down the line.

[jakeraven]

okay working on some other projects while i wait for minis i ordered to arrive...

my chaos lord and his chosen...hehe

thanks for the C&C B&C...haha...more to come!

[SickSix]

I love your Scythes! They look great. I have always liked their paint scheme, and you have done a great job with it.

[jakeraven]

thanks i really love that you like them..i think they are one of the coolest codex chapters in the game...

i was just on BOLS and someone mentioned them...i just wish there was more fluff out there for them...

sorry for all the chaos stuff....just keeps me painting as i get ideas to add to my scythes..

hi five!

[jakeraven]

okay, so i finished a dread that i orginally bought for my blood angels...but after some fun converting it founds its way into my scythes army..makes sense too...and i finished washing the recesses on my venerable dread..changed out the sarcophagus just feels better..also pics of the fourth tactical squad and the third terminator squad

and my pedro for my scythes..Captain Neida of Salavage Strike Force Omega
