++ AUGUSTUS b'RAASS ++ pre-heresy BRASS SCORPION p.247


Recommended Posts

Dude, I always look here but never comment on it. I love all the stuff you work on, so I'm not sure why it's taken me so long. Anyways...I'd be happy to name a simple assault marine. Gregaras Basqess "Ironheart", if that's cool with you? 

 

Question though, are you using Microset/microsol on your decals? I have not seen you mention it but they look great!

Eviscerator sergeant looks great, nice choice of head.

 

Really liking the use of the older mark jump packs on these guys too.

Cheers, buddy! Want to name one of the flamer or 'regular' assault marines?

 

Eviscerator pose has so much forward movement, lovely!

Thanks! It's what I went for, so yay me! Also, the sergeant's eviscerator is magnetied, and he has normal weaponry too :tu:

 

Oh, of course, the actual name! I name the assault marine Adeal Grawert :tongue.:.

Adeal Grawert has reported for duty and his name was added to the roster!

Heyhey! I'm very glad and thankful for the comment - and for the name (which has been added to the roster! Please come back again :)

 

Here's a name for you, Augs: Lyran Roth

Hurray, more names! Thanks, buddy! :) Added to the roster. ;)

 

On the assault marines, I'm lost for words.  I'll make do with one - OUTSTANDING!

Thank you! Your word has been appreciated. Will you add a name to the mix :O

The assault marines are looking really great Augustus :). I especially like how you use so many different bits and bobs to make each marine truly individual. I would love to see a picture of the entire IF army at some point. It would be pretty cool to see all the marines you have done in close proximity to each other! Also Adolar Notker looks awesome :D

It'd be a privilege to name one of your battle brothers; 'Arios Taal' is my choice. Hopefully I can return the favour to you when I next have a project on the go.

Arios Taal will stand in XIV Assault Squad, thanks!

Your wish is my command: here's a pic of the army.

  • Top shelf has the 1250 list with 40 marines, 15 scouts, 2 characters and 8 razorbacks.
  • Middle shelf has all dreadnoughts, a drop pod and a dreadnought drop pod, two biker squads, two attack bikes, all biker characters I own, all other characters and the original two 5-man tactical squads.
  • Lower shelf has  two drop pods, the first full 10-man grav devastator squad, the first half of an assautl squad, two stormtalons, a speeder, and three thunderfire cannons, as well as 10 WIP assault marines of XIV squad.  

:thumbsup:

 

Then there's my KDK stuff:

I hadn't realised actually how large your IF's have become. That is one phenomenal army dude, I hope to see more of them in the future :thumbsup:. The KDK are also very cool but Captain 8 Legs takes the trophy for me, such a cool conversion! Thank you for fulfilling my wish, I would have liked it but I used all my likes for the day in Kalrath's Ultramarine thread.

 

Edit: amended the likes situation

Played a game against Augustus' KDK today. Beside utterly destroying my poor dark mechanicum(eldar) he also showed me his massive hobby collection. And honestly, these are probably the nicest armies I've seen in the flesh. 
Had a ton of fun while getting tabled though, although I hope to cause more than 4 wounds over 2 games with my 12 different D weapons next time.

Thanks, guys!

Alright, second half of first assault squad finished!

 

It's not going fast enough. The tournament's in less than three weeks and I still need to paint ten assault marines and build and paint ten devastators! :ohmy.: better hurry up.

Anyway, here's pictures!

 

VII Assault Squad

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170228_001_zpsct1zuvht.jpg

 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/09ebd16f-b5e4-4f5b-83f6-85c0be0cb858_zpsckz6cels.jpg

 

Veteran sergeant - Faramund Brandt Venomlust

An aloof Astartes at the best of times, Sergeant Brandt commands his squad with an iron fist, brandished in faith. An devout follower of the Lectitio Divinatus, he demands nothing but the utmost dedication to the Emperor and the fiercest zeal in battle. Both captain Landa and chaplain Kaprelian keep a sceptic eye on his behaviour, but so far neither his words nor his actions show any deviation of the codex or the Imperial Creed.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170228_016_zpswcuynyfr.jpg

 

Weapon Specialist (Flamer) - Totis Adors -  Knight of the Raven

Brother Adors is as devout as he is aggressive, seeing the meticulous destruction of the enemies of mankind with his flamer as the manifestation the fire of faith that burns in his heart. Adors has a Fleur de Lis symbol tattooed on his left cheek, a commemoration to a joint action with the fledgling Adepta Sororitas.   http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170228_025_zpszu0lwzyj.jpg

 

Battle Brother - Inigo Vetinari -  DarthPenguin

A grizled veteran, brother Vetinari's callsign is his given name of 'Inigo', a rare occurrence only seen in another VII Squad Astartes, brother Grawert. The apogryph story of his recruitment at the young age of 6 standard years, is reportedly the origin of this. It is whispered that his mother could be heard screaming his name over the fields at night by the recruiting Chaplain as he rounded up his abductees into the Thunderhawk Lander.

Battle Brother - Stavridis Zepivir - lionofjudah

Brother Zepifir is young and brazen, and has sworn an oath to let go of his chainsword weapon when and only when he has slain a score of Traitors. To this hand, he has symbolically chained his weapon to his wrist, an act that has earned him the respect of his brother astartes of VII squad. He is regularly seen visiting and praying at the holy reliquaries of the chapter's Reclusiam. 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20170228_022_zpsfrls3x9u.jpg

 

Battle Brother - Adeal Grawert - The Traitor

A brutal assault marine, Brother Grawert's onomatopoeic family name is also his callsign "Grawr", given to him after his brothers of VII squad heard him growling 'grawrrr' over the comms chanel whilst in the midst of a unit of cultists. The growls quickly became roars, and Brother Grawert did not stop until nothing was left of the cultist but a pile dismembered of dismembered limbs and bodies in a pool of viscera and gore. After the battle, Brother Grawert was approached by Vexilarius Zol'Tara, who slapped him on the pauldron and said something to the effect of "You own your name, don+t you, Grawr!", after which the company comm line erupted in laughter.

Hope you like! C&C welcome!

@ Nemac Vradon: Yeah, it's gotten pretty big. It's weird, because I really only paint units I intent to use, plus dreadnoughts. My Night Lords are a larger collection, but I never use 80% of them - I'm even =considering selling those! No worries about the likes, I'm much ahppier with your continued commenting here. :thumbsup:

 

@ kizzdougs: Ha! You're most welcome to one - XIV Assault Squad has a flamer position and some regular brothers open - and only XII devastator squad's officers are named, all others are free :smile.: Check here for the list.

 

@ Grizzly_bear: What kind of work?

 

@ Maarten: duuuuuude, Saturday's were awesome games. I would love to see that army painted up. I'm going to do a shout out comment specifically once I find your thread again. :thumbsup:

 

@ hushrong: You're real nice! :tongue.:

 

@ Black_out: Cheers, buddy! And thanks for noticing. I'm a firm believer in the philosophy that each and every marine in your army can be unique by  using the right bits and getting the pose just right.  

 

@ Eldrick Shadowblade: You got it! Pyrese Tor stands in yellow clad. :wink:

 

@ Thousand Eyes: Glad to it! :smile.:

Great work as usual, I'm not sure about the blue sphere sat the back of the jump pack, but everything else is spot on!

I don't know if it is physically possible for a human to paint any faster at that quality than what you're doing right now, but you can surely try (be careful though, you might not realise what day is it and let the tournament pass without knowing when aproaching relativistic speeds) :tongue.:.

Edit: also noticed that you used the cool sword with the skulls on the model I named ;)! Great use of the name by the way, hadn't thought about it that way haha!

These are sweet! Great builds and paint jobs on those marines.

 

It also looks cool but I think that handsome Templar robe and a jump pack would be dangerous. Then again a super human in armor with rockets on his back was dangerous enough to begin with.

Thanks, guys!

Here's WIP pictures of the second half of the second assault squad I'll be painting. I spent today building the devastator squad. When I get pictures, I'll post them here too. 

Incidentally, most of these guys aren't named yet. Anyone is most welcome to name one. :smile.:

Thanks for looking, and for your comments. They keep me going more than likes - and I really need to keep going!

Replies: 

 

@ The Traitor: The blue spot is the power coil on the back - at least I interpreted that bit as a power coil. Nono, the tournament is the 26th - not the 20th. Which gives me a little leeway, luckily. And I'm happy you liked the fluff of your mii. :biggrin.:

 

@ hushrong: Templar robes are dangerous, no matter if you're wearing a jump pack or not - a dangerous fashion statement, that is. Robe wearing power armoured marines are ridiculous, I agree. But you know, rool of cool. :wink:

 

@ Thousand Sons: Hellz no! Quality before everything else. I just use the deadline as a way to motivate me. Who hasn't turned in their paper at 11:59 PM before the due date? It'll require extra planning and dedication, no doubt, ut it's certainly possible given that I need about 18 hours to paint five marines. :thumbsup:
