The_Stray_Idea Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hey all. Been a way from the hobby for a bit but jumping back in with a project to start enjoying 9th edition. With crusade being the main way to play at my local store. I have embarked on a Steel Confessors 5th company project. The project itself is a bit of a trip down memory lane as my local store painted the 1st company for Games Day years ago and a close friend sculpted the chapter master for the event. So with the chapter being founded secretly by the mechanicus from ironhand gene seed making a primaris strike force makes a lot of sense for being the chapter into the new era of marines. So with out any further waffling (maybe some) here is the libarian that I have started as a test bed for the army and to lead the small patrol that will be kicking off the project.

Ryltar Thamior Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Very nice blue there !

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks @Ryltar Thamior glad you enjoy the idea, trying to find a good stand in for the old chapter master in the codex is a bit of a challenge but have a few more things in the works. Hoping to get the initial command group finished up by Sunday. Stray Ryltar Thamior 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyB Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Love the green glow, sinister and ethereal at the same time. The head jewel almost looks like a third eye, focusing on some foul prey about to feel an awesome smite! Keep p the good work.

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 So late last night I managed to finish the Crusade command group. Lighting wasn’t the best but wanted to keep the updates consistent. I’ll be aiming to get some better pics over the course of the week and hopefully have some Phobos and bikes to show as well.

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 9, 2021 Author Share Posted November 9, 2021 So managed to get some better pictures of the commander of the detachment and 5th company. Trying to keep it lore accurate with the company commanders taking on the role of tech marines. I set about getting the crusade iconography of the indomitus era along side the iconic equipment of the tech marines. In game I’ll be using the master of the forge rules and be abstaining from using commanders in the army as it progresses. Fingers crossed the librarian photographs as well.

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Up next a short of the librarian. The bright green energies are pulling the camera all over the place. One day I’ll get a better image I’m sure. The blue is a much softer blue than the image suggests.

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Finally some pics of the veteran members of the 5th company. Ready to lead by example for the rest of their brethren as a new crusade begins.

ranulf the revenant Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Honestly pretty nice, this thread deserves some more views The_Stray_Idea 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I really like these, the blue on the Librarian is especially nice and over all the force is looking really like it just stepped out of a Crusade. Especially loving the Commander and the subtle weathering. :tu: Very nice! The_Stray_Idea 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Stray_Idea Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thank you all for the comments that you have made. Glad to see a little successor chapter being enjoyed by others. This weeks been pretty slow on the hobby front with life being a bit busier so only have a couple of WIP’s for you to enjoy. Decided to get some Phobos on the go, a little 5 man incursor squad to help identify targets and coordinate fire from more well equipped units. I decided to do away with the large targeting arrays on the back packs for communication equipment which I feel helps de clutter them a bit and reinforce their role as a force recon squad a bit more. I hope you all enjoy. Stray Smoke Frog, DaBoiKyknos, Doghouse and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Finished the Force recon elements of this tiny fledgling crusade force. Should have the chapter symbols sheet turning up in the next couple of days to finish detailing what’s been “completed” so far. Up next some out riders :) Stray Machine God, DaBoiKyknos, Sgt.

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 End of the week update. The outriders have been in the work space. Slowly getting there now, decided to set them up with the Sargent riding out with the teeth of Mars so threw the tech marine bare head on him to help show that connection to the red planet. Been enjoyable so far. Hoping to have finished pics up in the next couple of days. Stray ranulf the revenant and Zebulon 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Not the most involved build. But wanted to get a Primaris Lt build with the belecose bolt rifle relic. With more of a focus on the logistical command of the company over being a famed front line warrior. Now I have had my little distraction I’ll be back to painting outriders.

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Sorry not a paint up date. My other half preformed techno heresy and now I have the final detailing piece. Monstra Sumus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Stray_Idea Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Bit more work on chapter command between painting and transfers. With a fresh start on a chaplain. Will be going for a much less ornate chaplain. Keeping more with the ideas from the heresy era that they are more a symbol to their brothers than a visage to terrify their opponents with. Skull mask and crozius will still be part of the build but other death elements I think I’ll be filling down. Up we also have a Judiciar, using a stasis grenade to represent the little hour glass thing. Just doesn’t mesh with me and makes for a good stand in for a company champion at a primaris size with out going down the counts as route for rules. I have nothing against it but I have seen people kick off about it so would rather just side step that problem. Finally a couple more pics of the Lt which you have already seen in his freshly kitbashed form. Hope you all enjoy.
