deathspectersgt7 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Huh!!! No plastic yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifertheRedeemer Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh, would lasguns be useful for my current setup?... If you need a flash light maybe Unnecessarily said. I asked because I know they're excellent in numbers, and they're light, which I may need as opposed to the weighted heavy weaponry. And no, no plastic yet, I'm not likely to build anything yet until I have things set in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Well, a las gun to a Marine is basically a flash light. Unless you ment Las Cannon? And a las gun is also not part of any Marines kit. It is an Astra Militarium weapon which is surpassed by the Holy Bolter of the Adeptus Astartes. Just as a heads up though. You may need to start on the "work" part of your topic as so far it's all discussion and thought but no actual miniatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Chapter takes time to found, and it's much like baking: you need all of the ingredients before you can make the whole. So, please, be patient. Yes, it's all discussion for now, hence the reason why it's a WORK IN PROGRESS. And thank you for the info on the lasgun. I wasn't entirely sure if Astartes used them or not, which was why I asked.

Forté Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Can I recommend some research time with a rulebook and Codex. That combo will make deciding what to purchase and how to arm your models a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifertheRedeemer Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have a rulebook and a Codex, but the Codex is an outdated one. (I haven't been able to get a new one yet, mainly because of a very tight budget. Can't really spend much on luxuries.) That's why I had asked.

JennifertheRedeemer Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Here you go. Some plastic. Not exactly as my first concepts, but I'm quite pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That looks nice. I wish the model took up more of the space so I could see it a little better, but it's good. Quick question, why second founding? I'm not saying you can't use it, but somewhere it says that the imperial fist had 3 successors that go around; crimson fist, blak Templars, and then the soul drinkers (allegedly). Third foundings just as good, without conflicting with others fluff (I use third founding myself). You can use second if you still want. I just thought I would point this out Incase you didn't know or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Then there's always the Thirteenth Founding which basically gives you free reign to create whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifertheRedeemer Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Alright, I get to give a brief explanation of my Chapter! Woo! I've changed over to White Scars because of their tactics. Hit-and-run works purdy well with Shock-and-Awe as far as I've seen, and because the latter Foundings have less in common with their Progenitor Chapter Things I decided Second Founding would give a reasonable amount of time for my Chapter to have festered and grown while keeping in tandem with their fore-fathers and yet still forge their own path on their homeworld of Purphoros (Yes, as in the God of the Forge from Magic: the Gathering).

JennifertheRedeemer Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Huah! More Plastic! The first three Space Marines I've ever built. The center one is my stupid-looking Chapter Master, because I am too cheap to buy one. Yesh, she's holding a makeshift homemade power lance. The other two are part of an unfinished Tactical Squad. A closer look at Lilliath Corsarius, my Chapter Master. I'm a rebel. Lilliath's back. Another shot of all three. A rear-view of all three. I know, I lack a lot of skill in handpainting symbols, but I didn't feel like using the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennifertheRedeemer Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thank you! I have never built many miniatures before (the armies I played previously weren't mine), so I'm surprised with how they turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 There was a Monty Python joke about these parts...I've been summoned. Also I like that teal/SoH color scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifertheRedeemer Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Summoned? I'm not a necromancer, I swear! I got the 'bayonet' idea for the Boltguns from the Death Korps of Krieg, which is my next project once this Chapter is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, the original plastic marines came with two types of bayonets ;) Well done making your own character too. It's not being lazy. That would be buying the one GW sells. And don't worry about your freehand painting quality. That comes with practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions as to which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'd go for bikes unless you're aiming on multiple drop pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennifertheRedeemer Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I might run two Pods max for emergency purposes(?), and primarily bikes. Mayyyyybe some Assault Marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
