Brother Tancred Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) I have returned brothers! After a long hiatus from 40k (play MESBG mainly) I have decided to give it another crack with 11th edition around the corner. My friends and I are organising a slow grow and this thread will document my WIP as I gradually build my starting 500 points and above. For such an occasion it only feels right to push the hobby boat out and culminate around 10 years worth of ideas and create my own Chapter. The key features I wanted was their main colour to be Citadel's Dark Reaper base paint and their chapter badge to be an owl. I'll collate my ideas for their background but in the meantime using a little AI magic I present to you: While I wait for the Armageddon launch box I've painted up a spare Primaris marine as a test model and personal I'm delighted with how it's turned out. More to come.

MetalFingers Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Welcome back! I got pulled back in last year after a long hiatus as well. The marine looks great! Super clean.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Great scheme and great name. I have a soft spot for colour schemes which blend muted, earthy tones with slightly more militaristic and grounded designs. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Brother Tancred Posted Tuesday at 07:46 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 07:46 PM Sorry for the slow posting, I had an MESBG tournament at the weekend so was doing some last minute painting last week to get ready. However, now I can focus on 40k and I've managed to get the Space Marines needed for the new combat patrol set built. Just need to add the chapter badge to the intercessor squad and add some more basing bits and they will be ready to prime. Then I'll make a start on the rest of the marines from the Armageddon box.

phandaal Posted Tuesday at 09:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:06 PM All of those chapter insignia are hand sculpted? Impressive! Looking forward to seeing these guys painted up!

Looking forward to seeing these guys painted up! I wish I was that talented. I used one of the old firstborn vanguard vets pads with the Aquila sculpted on with the heads trimmed off. Then managed with my limited skill to sculpted a tiny owl head to create a master to use with blue stuff and made a press mould. phandaal and Rusted Boltgun 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388069-the-watchkeepers-returning-to-40k/#findComment-6178160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phandaal Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:56 PM That is still really cool! Smart way to do it. Probably saves a lot of time as opposed to trying to craft hundreds of tiny feathers for your army. kabaakaba and Brother Tancred 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388069-the-watchkeepers-returning-to-40k/#findComment-6178174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
