Brother Tancred Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Hi folks,Been awhile since I last posted to the forum. Being at home more I’ve been working through some of my grey pile of shame and got to a small group of space marines and custodes. I’ve been debating which chapter to paint for a couple of weeks now and stumbled across a YouTube video by Chapter Master Valrak. It was a reading of the short story “Journey’s End” by Dirk Wehner that featured in March’s White Dwarf and tells the story of a chapter call the Flames of Aries.The story follows a Torchbearer fleet lead by the Custodes to find the Flames of Aries chapter to delivery 10 companies of Greyshields who bear the geneseed of the Imperial Fists.It really inspired me to try something new and paint the few models I have so I’m in the process of painting a test model. The story states that the chapter colours are orange power armour with black pauldrons and a silver ram as the chapter symbol. Whilst listening to the story I could immediately picture how they’d look and how to do the chapter symbol.Its only a WIP picture so far but hopefully have a finished scheme by the weekend.Let me know what you think.

Cheers guys, can’t take credit for the pose as it’s one of the Space Marine Heroes models.

WarriorFish Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Unfortunately emojis and the like break pagination so these can't be allowed in topic titles :( You can use them in posts etc though Orange looks great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364424-rekindled-flame-flames-of-aries-wip/#findComment-5538160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tancred Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately emojis and the like break pagination so these can't be allowed in topic titles :( You can use them in posts etc though :) Orange looks great :tu: Whoops, sorry WarriorFish. Thanks it was a little daunting as I’ve never used orange as the primary colour in my 16 years of gaming!

WarriorFish Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 No worries, it's not a well known problem. Orange is with yellow as one of the harder colours but you've made it look easy here. So no excuses, get cracking ;) Brother Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364424-rekindled-flame-flames-of-aries-wip/#findComment-5538504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tancred Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Just another WIP update: The orange is almost done, just a couple of touch ups and then highlights. Hoping tomorrow I’ll get the face, black and gold areas done.

Brother Tancred Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Managed to get a little time to finish of the test model. Happy with the overall scheme but the chapter badge needs some work. On to some Primaris next!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 The test model looks good. I like the ram's head symbol.
