BionicBrain Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Heya folks! With the seasons soon upon us, what better way to spend it than with a new wee project! The scum of the universe, a penal legion filled with the worst of the worst still allowed under the flag of the imperium, or just a mutant bord the wrong way, feels like a gang that could have alot of personality and great conversion opportunities! The army will be a small gang of veteran guardsmen, perhaps with some added mechanized support, depending on how long i will keep my focus up! The legions name comes from the region in Segmentum Tempestus, Furya Sector, where the recruits are drawn from, and is the first and only penal legion from that sector. The legion was formed as a despreate measure to combat a Waagh that was passing trough the sector, and all able men were needed to ensure the survival of the imperial worlds. Being deployed in the worst war zones and against overwhelming opposition, the legionnaires that come back are among the toughest the sector has to offer. So, on to what a wip thread is all about, the pictures!So far i have assembled and begun painting 5 legionnaires. I am waiting for the rest of the catachans i've order to arrive, after that, more pictures will come! +++ You keep what you kill +++ As a way of keeping the legionnaires pointing their guns in the right way and not dissappearing from the war zone, they are given explosive collars that are controlled by the morale officers and arbiters overseeing the legion. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Pyro%20front%202_zpscpekhyff.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Pyro%20side_zpsome7ctq0.jpg'Somebody called for an exterminator?'Convict OP6-PY80, nickname 'Pyro' With fire in his eyes, he set a staff sergeant on fire after a dispute concerning the battalions quota on ration-packs. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Hatchet%20front_zpsd6hmr7j9.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Hatchet%20side%202_zpsqq5xyutc.jpg'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but an axe will cleave your skull'Convict PA3-HT44, nickname 'Hatchet'Apprehended after abandoning watch post, leading to bastion being overrun. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Madeye%20front_zps1mdrnzvr.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Madeye%20side%201_zpsqibzbrk7.jpg'I spy with my eye, and officer out of line'Convict OP6-ME13, nickname 'Mad Eye'Found guilty of assassinating the planetary governor of Ophiuchus 3. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Buck%20front_zpst6riqypu.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Buck%20side%201_zpsvhvphd5y.jpg'Pump twice for a good time'Convict SI2-XR11, nickname 'Buck'[Criminal records unavailable] http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/IMG_2848_zpsmc70xdl7.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/IMG_2850_zpstwevmwea.jpg'My gun to your face tells me i'm right'Convict BA4-IM45, nickname 'Imam'Strangled platoon commissar after refusal to obey order. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Group%202_zpsycui5phj.jpgLastly, a group photo of the first 5 Furyans.More to come during the holidays, perhaps even som wip pics of the paint job so far! C&C greatly appreciated, do they look enough convict-y, or do you guys have some ideas as how to make them more so?

Nomus Sardauk Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Awesome stuff, love the A-Team/Last Chancers feel to them with each convict having a personality & backstory. I look forward to seeing more of the Furyan 1st. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317423-furyan-1st-the-death-rows/#findComment-4258754 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BionicBrain Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm away over the holidays, so I'm unable to get any new pics up until friday. But at least all orders got delivered before the office closed, so I can build alot more of the Furyans! Uveron: two sets of plastic rods/cylinders, one larger for the collar, then I cut 1 mm pieces of a smaller rod and glued them on the larger, not that complicated! Some trimming on the heads was required tho, otherwise they got a bit ostrich-like! Merry christmas yall!

Pearson73 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Nice idea with the control collars. Liking the little pieces of background also - very characterful.

BionicBrain Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Update time! http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/group%202_zpskniddpbf.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/group%201_zpsptcvvgdq.jpg Some early wips of the first 5 Furyans, the only parts of them i've started on as you can see are the skin and the prison jump suits. When I'm happy with the skin, I plan on adding some tattoos as to make them even more recognizable as inmates! I'm not sure on how to paint the weapons, tho I'm thinking of mellowing them down in a gray or black tone, to let the orange be the main focus of the models. What do you guys think? I've also managed to put together some more Furyans, along with the infamous Captain Rowe himself! I apologize in advance for the white/plasticard pieces, still trying to figure out how to make the most details visible in photos without making the white blend together with the background! http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/Rowe%201_zpst2wnwikv.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/rowe%203_zpsrkrvpj8k.jpg Convict Si2-XV66, Solomon 'Death' Rowe Stripped of his rank and detained after him and his men abandoned their post facing innumerable enemies on Nemesis III, now leads the Death Rows. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/sarge%201_zpsupgrqcl5.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/sarge%202_zpsktfovuam.jpg Convict BA4-DU76 , nickname 'Dutch' Found looting the colonels personal assets. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/doc%201_zps6mev1f6n.jpg http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/doc%202_zps3m1ylgny.jpg "Almost dead?

As deadly with his long-las as his throwing knifes. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/priest%202-1_zps2tswjro8.jpghttp://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/jpander89BionicBrain/Warhammer/Furyan%201st%20-%20Death%20Rows/priest%201-1_zpsasl7e4mt.jpg Two unsung heroes of the administorum, but great at boosting morale on the field, here we have a pair of ministorum priests! The idea with the convict number is that the first 3 signs are the prison planet they originated from, for example, Captain Rowe was serving his time on Siwenna II, or SI2. The 4 signs following the planet are the inmates personal designation, and the only name that is kept in the records. I have some loose drafts on some background on the Furya Sector, maybe I'll add it in future post to beef out the fluff on the Furyan 1st! As always, C&C is appreciated, if you have an inmate you think might fit the 1st, please do tell, I might just build it when my own imagination is lacking!

Montuhotep Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 These are looking most promising. If you're taking suggestions, I wonder what character you could make using this film line: 'You know what is with me and safes. When I see one, I blow it.'

Warsmith Uveron Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Looking Good. Like the Paint. I like the Guns, I think they would look on in muted metals, but the Grey's you have used work.
