Reaver Lord Soul Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hail brothers and sisters of B&C :D As the title suggests, would it be too far gone to model a blood angels successor using steampunk style bits or could it actually work ? :) I`ve been thinking about this for the past few days and thought that the best place to ask would be here on B&C Any and all opinions would be much appreciated on this so please let me know your thoughts. Many Thanks. Soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 40k is so expansive that the only limits are that of your imagination. Who's to say that an uncharted Successor isn't based on a steampunk style world and as such, uses the culture's motifs and inspiration for their art? Anything can be artistic to the right mind and with those of Sanguinius' lineage being the foremost artisans of the Adeptus Astartes, they would no doubt offer the best steampunk styling possible! This would be an expensive venture mind, but a good place to start for bits might be Zealot miniatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks. Soul. I actually think this would be a great idea! (well, Steampunk's always awesome! ) I think there's some bitz makers that have mechanical wings which would look great on Steampunk Sanguinary Guards. If you want, there's a fluff writing challenge in the Liber Astartes section at the moment. You'd be welcome to join Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaver Lord Soul Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 @ Jolemai. Thanks for the link, I shall add it to the ever-growing list of parts I`ve got on my USB I actually found these a few days ago which actually sparked my imagination about the idea of steampunk marines www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=267 @ Lord Thorn. I actually have been thinking about writing some fluff for it ever since I first thought of the idea but I asked a friend of mine on the name I had come up with and he shot it down in flames as it were :P so I was a bit unsure as to whether or not to put it up on here :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps, try your hand at this first as not only is it an easier exercise, but we still need replies for it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 What was your idea of a name ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaver Lord Soul Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 @ Jolemai. I'll definitely post on it over this weekend :) I'm currently on my phone at the moment so I don't have any of the notes I've made for them with me :P @ Lord Thorn. I had the name "Sacrificial Angels" in my head playing in the fact that people who become marines have to sacrifice their humanity so that the rest of the imperium can keep theirs:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Love the idea, although I am not a huge fan of the name as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaver Lord Soul Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 @ Teetengee. Thank you :) Do you have any suggestions for a different name then ? I also had the idea of "Bronze Guardians" but I`m not too sure at that one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I like bronze guardians better, although for now perhaps just leave it blank and fill it out later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xin Ceithan Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I just tune in to say that I like the idea. And since a lot of the recent Mechanicum models already go steampunky - go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 If you do this, I think you definitely need to include some local Mechanicum allies. Suitably steam punked of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaver Lord Soul Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 @ teetengee Yeah I understand what you mean with that, I'll just leave it open for now and see what happens. @ Xin Thank you :D I have admittedly loved the forge world mechanicum stuff which will definitely help me :) @ marine If the forgeworld mechanicum stuff can be used in for 40k then I will definitely consider it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 @ marine If the forgeworld mechanicum stuff can be used in for 40k then I will definitely consider it Why not use the 40k Mechanicus stuff? or counts as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 @ marine If the forgeworld mechanicum stuff can be used in for 40k then I will definitely consider it Why not use the 40k Mechanicus stuff? or counts as? There is a Volume of Imperial Armour slated to come out that brings the 30k Mech units to 40k and potentially vice versa (if they don't do that in a HH book). It's not fully confirmed but has been mentioned at events multiple times. 40k Ad Mech make nice firebases for us with Kataphron Destroyers with Grav or Plasma with a Tech priest thrown in to tank and repair. Stick them behind an ADL on an objective and enjoy your fire support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaver Lord Soul Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 @Teetengee. I know it might be a bit strange but not much of the 40k mechanicum stuff has really jumped out at me, apart from the Knights I`m afraid :/ @Charlo. I seriously hope that is the case :D For me, the 30k mechanicus stuff just feels..right to me for some reason and I would love to use them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(They even have models for squats : http://zealotminiatures.com/shop-2/#!/Grundi-Clansmen-Bodies-x5/p/48676040/category=8326656 (though they seem to have orang-utan arms ...) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
