Aqui Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 That shade of yellow makes me jealous (in a good way)! The weathering is very good too! What are those things with the shoulder guards on them? Some way of spraying them?

Cornelias Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Nice work, the Scythes seem to be growing in popularity these days. Are you planning a full army or just painting for the joy of it? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285825-scythes-of-the-emperor-22414/#findComment-3573637 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaedes Nex Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Couldn't help but notice that your Scythe of the Emperor has two bionic legs. That's some pretty hardcore narrative forging right there, imagining this guy on the ground with both his legs torn off but still in the fight. Or did he lose one first, then the other? Going into battle with a bionic leg, then losing your other good leg must have caused no shortage of cursing, as well as the teasing from his squadmates.

Going into battle with a bionic leg, then losing your other good leg must have caused no shortage of cursing, as well as the teasing from his squadmates. How about....he was thrown in the air, diced about, both legs gone.....as he fell back towards the ground but on top of the carnifex, embedded his axe in its back....blew the back of its head out with a full mag of a bolter?

apologist Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The Sothans shall rise again! Beautiful work – really nice clean paintwork, crisp detailing, and well-considered weathering. Really nice choice of parts, too 0 they really help give the impression of the embattled Chapter.

Grizzly_bear Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks a lot guys. Haven't really done anything with this side project or my main one but I'm sitting down now to put together 4 more scythes, my question to you fellows is this, I'm thinking of obviously putting in a lot of bionics on these guys, using a few IH parts from GW and some more from other 3rd party companies....I was going to add in the fluff that the IH's ran into the scythes and helped with the injured by helping what's left fashion more bionics for the marines who have lost limbs etc....would this fit with a chapter from the ultras (receiving help) and would it fit the IH way of thinking?

deathspectersgt7 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I do not think the IHs would be that helpful, Since the Scythes are Ultra stock I assume they would be more helpful.

apologist Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think leaving them distant and isolated from Astartes support is part of what makes their story so appealing, so personally I'd be inclined to leave the Iron Hands out.Space Marine chapters are very independent, and politically influential. If the Scythes want a lot of bionics – and given that they need every possible marine – then there's no need to involve other Chapters unless you want them to. Even if you do involve others, the Scythes would doubtless be able to call in ancient favours, dusty old promises and alliances in order to get all the manufacturing power they need from nearby worlds; to say nothing of their own forges.

MagicMan Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think most chapters have a buttload of bionics on board their ships anyway. Every Marine and his Dog has a bionic eye/hand/leg. Especially the Veterans. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285825-scythes-of-the-emperor-22414/#findComment-3592557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
