A Lesser Son of Greater Fathers: Dabbling in Epic

[GrandMagnus]

Those breachers are seriously some of the best heresy era Ultramarines I've had the pleasure of seeing.

[Dosjetka]

Terrific. That last fluff update was fantastic, as was the accompanying model. The Breachers look great. Wow :tu:

[Noctus Cornix]

Cheers lads.

Kobrakei: Cheers, man. Was fun writing it!

 

Magnus: Very high praise indeed! Hope to improve as I go. Cheers dude.

 

Dosjetka: Thanks mate. Hope to get some more pics up soon.

 

Noctus: Well, I need 6 objective markers total, so stick around, there's going to be a lot more dead Ultramarines in the near future, lol.

 

Thanks for the kind words, all. Hope to get the next update out soon. I've assembled 20 more Marines over Christmas, a Tactical squad and a Tactical Support squad (CHOOM), so hopefully will get pics soon.

[Kriegriss]

you're fluff is so good and models so epic I feel I must rest after I view this thread lol you stuff is awesome man it breaks my mind

[Mitsman]

Yep, exquisite work. Consider lots of ideas stolen, especialy Augustus with his nice base but also some of the standard troops as well.

I wanted for some time to start a second battle company but I cannot leave the beautiful gold shoulder pad rims of the 2nd, so your idea with black and gold is magificent! 5th company it is then for all my excess troops!

Also subbed! heheh...

 

Edit: Where are my manners? HAPPY NEW YEAR!

VI Squad Castigator, newly mustered from remnants of V and VIII Squads (crossref. Arboreth Massacre)

 

 

 

 

Edit: CHOOM.

 

Ooooooh   Ooooooh....The heavy weapons!!!

Where did you get them from, I can see they are FW, volkites,  looked on their site and i cant see them listed at all, will delve back in for another look.

They would go well with my Sons of Heracles.

 

Nice work by the way!!

 

 

 

Errrrrrrrrrrr....look and you shall find.....

Lovely work, Arkhan. I never understood the bad rep the XII has, and you're proving it wrong in an impressive way. Great, great mini's.

[Dosjetka]

It's XIII, Augustus, not XII ;)

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Thanks a bunch guys. Always great to get positive feedback. Means a lot to hear it.

Steal away dude. Augustus - who may be getting a name change - has been reworked slightly, he's more MkIII now...

Thanks man. Kind of you to say :)

Yeah dude, definitely they would go well with your boys. I feel you'd have to run them as graviton weapons or something but it'd be an awesome match for sure.

Cheers Augustus, your praise is greatly appreciated. I can't wait to get the next update out, I've already got two more squads, a Rhino and six objectives, plus the start of Iron Hands auxilia fighting alongside the Hundred, all assembled and waiting for paint. Going to be a big update, I think.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Dammit. I never seem to get the -III or -II right after switching from VIII to VII. Of course I meant to write XIII. ;)

So not to be pushy.... but.... when will those last two characters see paint? Edited January 5, 2016 by jimbo13

[That Guy Matt]

Really nice fluff piece.  Gives that model a tonne of character.

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Soon, I hope - I've just basecoated the Destroyers, however, as they're next. After that, I think it'll be time for a HQ choice. I have two finished units ready to be photographed, but in the meantime here's a WIP of a transport:

Any thoughts for 30k-isation?

[SkimaskMohawk]

Doesn't actually need any as the Mars pattern was available during 30k, but was seen as the more cheap and easy to produce option compared to the Deimos pattern. Most people chose the superior Deimos, but it would make sense to have the more "disposable" kind with your theme

I think you covered that pretty well, with the tigrus bolter under the screen, the pintle mounted twin bolter, and the chainsword.

 

EDIT: Also what SkimaskMohawk said.

Indeed; looking good as-is :tu:

Gotta ask: where did the magazines come from?

 

Because I want them...

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Yes, where are those from?

[Marshal Rohr]

Look like anvil mags.

[Disruptor_fe404]

Look like anvil mags.

 

Yup, shoulda known. 

 

Cheers buddy!

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Cheers lads - yes, as mentioned, they're from Anvil's Exo-Lords range. Well scaled to 40k/30k, as is most of that range.

Skimask, you made my day - I was dreading having to plasticard a Deimos hull, but cross-checking what you've said with other sources it makes perfect sense to keep it as a Mars for the reasons you've mentioned. Cheers!

Painting is currently underway on Atrox (Destroyers) and X Legion auxiliaries...in the meantime, have some CHOOM to tide you over.

[Pearson73]

Nice mix of parts and basing on the volkite squad.

[God-Potato of Mankind]

Thumbs up for the Choom :) 

 

Very lovely squads, very lovely.
