Joe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hm, profile is the same but I still don't see it. The job on the picture I linked seems too clean; and that's from FW themselves. :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ok, I see it, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 While the PIC is from FW they never seemed to release them. I'm guessing they were a part they never released or an internal conversion they used to take pics, which is a bit of a tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ncarnadine Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yeah, those are definitely just the Ashen Circle axe-rakes that have been heavily converted. Guarantee it. He even used 4 of the exact same axe-rake as a base for the vet squad (each of the 5 axe-rakes in the Ashen Circle set is slightly different), suggesting an in-house hook-up for just the right parts. The sergeant with a power fist shown as part of the same demo unit has an Ashen Circle pad, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I can see the same as BCK, could be the person who did the weapon used the Ashen circle blade as a template and made his own weapon. File the plasticard to give you the blade. Might explain why it is so "flat" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hm, that's fair enough. I'll probably give that a try at some stage in the future. Some late-Heresy Word Bearers would make for a nice side-project. :p Anyhow, I was looking at the Bullock pattern jetbike earlier as a possible Scimitar stand-in for my praetor, and realised that it's just Sammael's jetbike, albeit some modifications would be necessary. It's fine cast, though, and I'm not sure is Sammael is attached to the bike itself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 His legs are part of the bike I think. I'm not sure if the plasma cannon is part of the bike though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hm, that's a bugger. I've seen this picture and it seems as if they might be able to be hacked off with some work, I'd just need to repair any damage done with GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 How about the Ironshark from Kromlech? http://bitsofwar.com/home/121-iron-shark-assault-jetbike.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'll pass on that. I prefer the Maxmini Gothic Jetbike anyhow. :p I did some checking and the legs are separate from the bike itself (although they seem to be attached to the exhausts, no matter), so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to clear the area up and make the necessary modifications to turn it into a Bullock. Cheers lads. \o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I hate this subforum. I had my army planned out. "White Scars, wait for FW rules to buy anything, make some test miniatures, take your time with the backstory..." And now I've just placed an order for a small bit of Imperial Fist material, while researching how I should best run Alpha Legion. And looking at One-eye's White Scars. What I'm saying is that I can't choose and I hate you all because of your incredible modeling and painting skills that inspire me literally every day.

Stofficus Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I've managed to convert a bunch of whiney, apathetic "but they're all SPEHS MEHRINES!" types into, "Dude, I can't decide between Death Guard, Mechanicum, Militia or Alpha Legion!" types like everyone here. It's rather vindicating, I must say. Now if only I could settle on a paint scheme for my Solar Auxilia. Excellent models, but don't lend themselves strongly to one thing or another (i.e. Cadians look best in pseudo-realistic modern/WW2 schemes, Death Korps belong in WW1 army colours, Elysians modelled off modern paratroopers, etc). I've considered Imperial Stormtrooper pattern (white is hell, won't mesh nicely with the vehicles), steampunk French (light blue cloth, metal armour, brass finishing), Isaac Clarke inspired (dark grey cloth, brass armour), imagined Saturnyne Rams (black armour, dark grey cloth, or inverted, red detail?). You Astartes have it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Do you guy's generally mix and match armour marks in squads or do you try and keep everyone equipped the same? I have some mark 3 and 4 marines built and I was thinking of combining them into 1 squad but they just look so different.... Oh, and I have absolutely no idea what legion they will be!

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I mix Mk II, III, and IV quite a bit. Well, the torsos and heads from MK II - I don't like the legs or arms that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I like the idea of focussing on the armour mark generally expected for the Legion (eg. IV for Night Lords, III for Imperial Fists, II for World Eaters) but then mixing a smattering of the other 2 marks into units. Gives the marines some individuality, but also ties most of the force together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 When I eventually get my head out of my :cuss and begin working on some Iron Warriors I will be mixing all the armour marks from MK II - VI to represent a mid heresy army, with II and IV being prevalent. Except MK II arms, I tend to exchange those for MK VII arms because they are bulkier and look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viridia Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I've been focusing on the idea of keeping squads fixed to one kind of armour mark for my Imperial Fists, since to me it seems fitting for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@verik115 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Okay here is the thing. I have decided to start with Horus Heresy a while back, but im still struggling to settle on a legion (Same problem I had trying to settle on a chaos legion back in 3rd ed if people remember). I have brought it down to several choices:Luna Wolves Loyalists(Love the backstory and colour scheme) Imperial Fists (Templar brethren and Sigismund... yes please) Ultramarines (I always liked the inspiration and colour scheme for them) Alpha Legion (Dont ask) Emperor's Children (I love the colour scheme and the palantine blades) Word Bearers (I love the possessed marines... but Erebus is a gentleman's sausage) HELP MEEEEE :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
