Skrall Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/CGBHNfS.jpg The East Wind is coming...So unusually for myself, i've begun a project whilst up to my eyes in two other legions. The project is a tinkering log for an army i've been debating since the new Codex Space Marines was released last year. I'm enjoying it so far, though i've been working on reclaiming my old Iron Hands bikes. So what's the plan?Well, i've begun to process of converting my bikes into MKIV riders. I've begun using the Outrider's biker on normal plastic bikes to achieve balance between the V legion and the White Scars chapter. Thus far, though it's not in a condition i feel ready to show, it's got potential.The theme of this log is simple; to produce a 1500pt space marine scars for that could be used in 30k if and when the scars get there codex. There will be additional models and units added as progress occurs, but for now the design seems fairly set in my mind. I want to explore a combination of the newer MK IV plate (themed for the defense of terra, where the liberated armour from mars may have been passed onto the scars during the defense) and the traditional scars design. I've been listening to the audiodrama, as well as hunting for various snipits of artwork to inform my designs. I'm hoping to get a solid grasp on this as i play test and explore the scars potential each week. I feel with only 3 The army list;HQ; 380ptsKor’sarro Khan, Moondrakkan-Command squad, bikes, 2x storm shield, 4x grav gun, Apothecary.Troops; 776pts8 bikes, 2x melta, MM attack bike, sgt meltabomb.248pts8 bikes, 2x plasma, MM attack bike, sgt meltabomb.258pts5 bikes, 2x melta, sgt meltabomb.130pts5 bikes, 2x plasma, sgt meltabomb.140pts5 attack bikes, grav gun120ptsHeavy support;Fire Raptor Gunship220pts The list may chop and change a little, but i feel it's in a fairly solid place at the moment.So let's move on to a single model i've done to a standard worth of being shown. It's a reclaimed piece, a unit leader. The head is a space wolves with the mohawk removed, the pony tail left on and a mustache sculpted into place.Time for the PIP model, it's not finished by any means. It is far enough along to give an idea of how i'll be painting these bad boys.http://i.imgur.com/OliKLXC.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/3BT3RbH.jpg-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrall Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 @deathspec; thanks man, that's the first time i've been replied to in large center bold font. That's one hell of an approval. @one-eye; i hope so. I think i'm going to take my time to do him and make him a center piece mini. @helterskelter; i liked the base myself. i've had the head sat about for ages, so now it's a feral ork mount (there's ork heads on the base unseen) Time for todays lunch hour update. This beast arrived at half 9 this morning, and as of midday this is where i'm up to;http://i.imgur.com/kfI52IH.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/JhC0yMo.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Gsdhp5z.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/S7qG265.jpgIt's now sealed shut never to be seen again, except through the tiny door at the front. I expect to have a painted update some time in the next few days with the exterior, though i think i'm going to buy the FW rhino doors for the scars just to change the thing a little.Oh and if your feeling kind why not check out my Facebook hobby page. I'll still be posting regular updates here, so no pressure to do so.-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrall Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 It's time for something painted to appear. I'm still working away on them, but they're now in a position to give a general sense of how the army is going to look. Hopefully i'll finish them tonight or tomorrow. This is one of the five man units in my army, tenth squad.http://i.imgur.com/LrFShrR.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/N1IrTyv.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/pjaTxXZ.jpgI must say, i can't wait to field an army of these bad boys.-skrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
