+++In Memoriam: Update+++

[Demus Ragnok]

One thing I have learned in life.

When the old dog starts calling in favors... about to get real.

Beautiful stuff as always.

Really enjoying the faith in the Dragoon's storyline heathens.

Demus has beautifully summed up my own feelings on your latest update Heathens. Every time you post a new conversion I am amazed by your ability to combine such diverse bits into amazingly cohesive looking individual marines. I'm also loving the Faith component of your fiction. I love short stories and would pay cash money to read yours in a serialized version like BL did with "Scars." You should seriously consider submitting some stories to them.

I think that any soldier who has fought at Mahdra's side would heed his call to war. I hope we see a few more of his allies before you finish this project.

@heathens- I figured it was an IG power fist. I've been looking for bits to make a power fist that trades in strength for speed, and that looks perfect. Thanks!

 

Also, when are we going to see some big guns? ;)

[Conn Eremon]

@Heathens: Might be that I'm pulling a Bjorn. :p

A new year has come, and with it, some steps in the right direction.

++ First Sergeant Harlund Versteeg ++ - (mock up)

This week I'll be working on finishing the two Marines I've started, aside from decals, as I need to order some from FW.

You know what guys?, I can't quite put a finger on it, but for some reason I'm getting the impression that 2014 is going to become a very memorable year for this hobby...

 

*looks at those gorgeous, eye searing yellow Imperial fists marines*

 

Yeah, 2014 is gonna rock. 

[depthcharge12]

Mustard Yellow never looked so good :D

 

 

 

MkIV looks awesome on the fists

[ephrael]

Great looking update Darth, I love the use of the MK IV armor.  How did you achieve the pose on Versteeg's arms?  Did you use tactical or reaver arms on him?

Thanks. Hoping this year is a good and productive one, too!

Also, this is what the yellow looks like before the oil wash stage, which tints the armor and tones it down a notch.

Thanks, braj!

Appreciate that, Mik. The arms are actually from the new(er) Mk. III Legion Weapons set, as is the sword.

[Hyaenidae]

Lovin' what you did with the 1SG, man. He looks like a hardass.

[GrandMagnus]

Inspiring marine Darth, you never fail to amaze.

[Natanael]

The mock-up looks great. Keep him that way ;) 

[Barabbas Sogalon]

The first sergeant is great. No fancy surgical procedures to the arm holding the bolter? Might copy the idea.

This thread is consistently great both fiction & models. On the other hand, I'm trying to make up fiction for my dudes & I'm regretting choosing the Alpha Legion...

 

Think less CIA, and more Special Forces. Deliberate Operations, dynamic command kills, etc. The secret squirrel stuff will make you go insane, bro. Kill things instead.

I completely agree! Besides, even the Alpha Legion needs rank and file. Omegon's little shenanigans isn't their only asset...

[Pyromancer]

Sergeant Versteeg is awesome brother! The painting is looking great as well.

[Ramell]

I've been following this thread for a while, but it's past due time I comment, and lavish you with praise.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is my favourite thread on the B&C. The combination of fluff and awesome models, is just, well.. .

You're all making it so very hard for me to resist starting a Heresy-era army.

[disease]

Just read the whole thing from the beggining. I'm gobsmacked!

[Hyaenidae]

Came here to say this.

I read through this thread today after having meant for some time to give it some proper attention. I've gotta say, you guys are doing great things for the hobby. I don't know if you remember, heathens, (no reason to think you would, It was a while ago!) but your Marines Malevolent thread was part of the reason I signed up to B&C to start my own in the first place.

Anyway, the four of you have done magnificent work. The writing, the characters, the miniatures, everything about this thread is what I find so good about the Heresy era. I'm both stunned and inspired to carry on with my own stuff. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you, but keep it up!

[Montuhotep]

I keep thinking that I'll do some Heresy-era stuff, probably World Eaters, and I get all enthused about it, grabbing inspiration from everywhere I can.

 

 And then I see a thread like this.

 

And know that I cannot match it.

 

Ever.

 

 I am awe-struck, overwhelmed and depressed in equal measure.

 

Dear God, this whole thing from all the people contributing is just incredible.

What's that saying? "You never know if you don't try"?
