BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 This probably will be even more sporadic in its updates than my Sons of Tyr log. Thought I'd post the WIP of a certain character from a brand new army I'm working on in between finishing the Seventh War-Company. For this force the points value to be completed is as yet unknown, and I'm still mulling over the ruleset to represent their preferred approach to warfare. These guys are not loyalists. http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020033_zps08edd8e5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 PA modelled marine with a slightly termi sized base, or do my eyes mislead me? Is it a clue ? :D That little socket hole in the chest piece always reminds me of the Harkonnen suits of armour worn by the likes of Sting in Dune the film. With the plug that lets open their life 'force' hehe.

Haven't seen Dune (I know, heresy) so can't comment, but yep I chose a 40mm base just because I think it looks better on hero models. :) Here's an update - got the arms temporarily attached, what do you guys think of the positioning? http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020036_zpsac6d76e7.jpg http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020038_zpsb0139760.jpg http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1020037_zps74aafd3d.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/#findComment-3554455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Are 40mm bases legal on basic power armour minis? More intreage than anything. And if you other stuff is anything to go by...I'll be watching this :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/#findComment-3554583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Cheers Forte ;) 40mm bases aren't strictly tournament legal on power armoured infantry, if anyone I play against has an issue with it they can bite me. I know at least one guy at my FLGS who's just completed a pretty slick Chaos Lord on foot on a 40mm, it looks tons better than an average 20mm and lets you do more interesting things on the base anyway. I have 4 other models from the IH squad pack. Can't figure out what role they should play yet...ideas on a postcard :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/#findComment-3554603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 40k. Resolutely determined to stay on the Eastern Fringe at the turn of the 41st millennium for most of my projects.

Forté Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Common sence (apparently I had some once) says squad sergeants or other HQ's but if you're using the loyalist codex or C:SM, then I'm not too sure.

infyrana Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I guess that when you have to make base size determined decisions, you carry a spare base and rule it up against a normal base.. height of model is another story if you do a fancy base... watch out for all those laser pointers!

Monstra Sumus Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Looking very spanky dude. I'm very inclined to say Iron Warriors, but that's because in my (odd) little brain I've always seen the IW as being Greek in design.

JeffTibbetts Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I want to say Iron Warriors, too… But it could be a more recent renegade. The pose has me wondering, now. Is it one of the chapters from the Badab Wars? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/#findComment-3555130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Guessing not Iron Warriors. Unless your trying to show Nurglez how to do things ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/#findComment-3555162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Actually I'm dead set on doing some IW at some point. Storm of Iron is too awesome to not make some kind of homage to Olympia's siegemasters at some point. My first love in 40k were the Imperial Fists 4th Battle Co. so I might do a diorama with warriors from both at some point, who knows. There are some really great examples of Iron Warriors in the gritty, trench-warfare style on the B&C (1000heathens' stuff comes to mind) but I don't want to tread ground that's been well-trodden already. I'll come to them when I know I can do something that's characterful enough to merit another take on an already well-represented army. I think I've nearly fleshed out what the other four models in the IH kit I got for Xmas will be used for, and I think I've settled upon a name and role for the dude above as well, so hopefully another update tonight or tomorrow. edit: Recon, they are indeed Kromlech pads :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284934-mystery-project-new-army/#findComment-3555214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbedark Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Love the pose! I'm guessing Astral Claws? Any chance you could let me know where the shield is from? I can't seem to place it.
