savage_heathen Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 iv been keeping an eye on this topic for a while now. and have just started painting a few sharks of my own... however im a little confused on who gets to wair the sharks teath.. i would like to follow the fluff you have writen for them, so is it just vetrens/captins (or other high ranking marines) or do squad sargents get them to? im not realy up to date with the whole chain of comand either which may be where my problem is coming from =p thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1669596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Tiberius Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 think of the Sharks teeth as "terminator Honours" any marine that can have termi honours would were the teeth. So all Captains, Vet Sgts., Chaplains, Librarians, and the 1st company. As for the Badge I prefer the head-on, some prefer the side view. Use whichever you like. Me I like the enemy to see what's comin' for 'em. ;) -T.

Lamenter Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 It's quite amazing when you think that all this work (and a lot more of course) has stemmed from a simple 3 page White Dwarf article published nearly 20 years ago.

Megalodon Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Wow, you guys have done a lot of work since I last checked this thread out. It's all looking great. With the new codex on the horizon I'm gonna have to revisit finishing my Sharks. Plus I cannot forget the nifty new decal sheet by Max.

Commissar Molotov Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 They're not really ours to lend! This IA article is simply our interpretation, and if you want to paint your Marines as Sharks, feel free. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1694852 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar Molotov Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wow man... your sketches are great. That's all Tiberius! I just do the writing and the other boring bits. thanx shall i post up my pictur of my first termi!it the free from WD i will get black reach sometime this week :lol: Looking forward to it. I mean, if you're going to base your Sharks on our interpretation (Tethys, Monatoa, etc.) then it's great to give us props, but the Space Sharks aren't like a real DIY - we can't give or deny permission to start an army.

Commissar Molotov Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Nice! You'd probably get better feedback on the PC+A forum than here - but it's cool to see the start of a Sharks army. Good luck with them! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1695883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Stahl Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi there, haven't been on B&C for month. Has anyone noticed this : Space Shark IA made by a fan for Dark Heresy RPG ? I am not saying that his IA is wrong/bad/good/excellent/... after all, there is no official fluff concerning the Sharks, but It would be interesting to contact him, to discuss about fluff (for the benefit of our chapter -_- ).

Commissar Molotov Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ah, I think Phil Sibbering's interpretation has come up earlier in the thread - I'm not sure. I know he posts on the B+C, so it's certainly possible to contact him.

Brother Antio Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hi everyone. osted a message in the index board about thinkin of startin a space sharks army. will have to see what money allows. Does anyone have an idea for a chapter motto. on lexi it says 1st in last out. Is ok. Latin would be something like Primoris Illic, Permaneo Sicco. Any advance on that?! Here's my sharks list, am thinkin once i'v ogt my flesh eaters well on the go will start on the sharks. grey i'm used to painting (ex SW and relictors player!) so hopefully shouldnt take too long. does anyone have any suggestions for colours? Plus have just come back from NZ and went to the museum in welly that has a fairly large area on moaori culture. In terms of models am thinkin of using the dark elf weapons (from corsairs and executioners), scout heads on bear headded models and modeling sharks teeth, hopefully wont take too long! Anyhow, list looks like thin atm... Chapter Master, SB, Aux launcher, (dunno if anyone's given him a name yet, was thinking Rawiri, means chosen one. Imperial name could be Rarius) Honourguard, +1 marine, 1 aux launcher, drop pod 358 10 tactical marines, heavy bolter, flamer, pod 205 10 tactical marines, multimelta, meltagun, pod 210 6 vanguard vets, 2 PWs, 1 relic blade, pod 225 6 sternguard vets, 1 combiweapon, pod 195 Dreadnought pod 140 Ironclad, hurricane bolters, pod 170 comes to 1498 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1715351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip S Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Ah, I think Phil Sibbering's interpretation has come up earlier in the thread - I'm not sure. I know he posts on the B+C, so it's certainly possible to contact him. Sure is ;) You can PM me if too off topic or ask here. As a general note about my Space Sharks, I would like to clearly state here that it is merely an interpretation and basically a fan made chapter with 'Space Shark' slapped on the front and lip service to the few space shark facts that are known. You are welcome to use the concept 'as is' or use it as a spring board for your own interpretation (just slip a credit in there somewhere and I'm happy :) ).

Brother Antio Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi Guys. like i said before i am thinkin of doing space sharks. have some cash coming in tomorow so was gonna splash out and maybe get the bits for the start of a squad. Am having a little bit of a problem on style and would really like your advice. Cant decide either to go for ork weapons like these.... http://bitsandkits.co.uk/shop/article_OI56...26aid%3DOI56%26 http://bitsandkits.co.uk/shop/article_BO11...26aid%3DBO11%26 http://bitsandkits.co.uk/shop/article_BO12...26aid%3DBO12%26 my other thought was to use the weapons from the dark elf fantasy range.... http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...&orignav=13 http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...&orignav=13 http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...&orignav=13 Totally stuck. from the ork point of view they look beefy and there's a mace and axes which would fit in with the polanesian feel, but think the dark elf weapons would look very cool too! Any help??! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1720930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kael Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 The ork cuttas look much better and look like the ones in capt tiberius' art work. I personally would not use the axe or the mace as I see the sharks as swift and deadly attackers, like their real like counter parts. I have been looking for a trident for my Space Sharks captain but have found none. The dark elf models look cool but look to flimsy in the hands of a marine. Hoped that helped Captain Kael :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1720937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Antio Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 cool, was thinkin that, the DA ones will just have to wait till my next army ;) Dunno if you guys have seen then but the new mortals plastics out in Nov have some very cool bits too. Personally think axes (maybe not those ones) and maces fit in quite well, they are traditional weapons used by many cultures as they need less metal and skill at forging to make.

Captain Kael Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 I have been looking for a trident for my Space Sharks captain but have found none. have you tried the dark elder mini line I just looked on the GW website and could not find a trident suitable for the captain. The dark elf beasmaster does have a spear that resembles a trident but it looks bulky and evil. So I may have to us GS. :) Captain Kael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/84715-ia-space-sharks/page/7/#findComment-1721307 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar Molotov Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I just found out today that the Bell of Lost Souls is releasing a Badab War campaign book - you can find out more on their site. The increased scrutiny on the Badab War Chapters will mean an increase in Badab Chapter armies - Exorcists, Marines Errant, et al - and consequently there'll be a greater level of interest in the Space Sharks. I'd like to get this done soon-ish so our interpretation is firmed up.

TG1 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 hey guys i actaully have a space sharks army connverted wiyth Nid bits as sharks teeth. I came up with an idea of pacific/south china sea islands and tribesm,an as well as shark hunting being a rite of passagethis is really good fluff. in my fluff the first chapter home world had a giant mayan temple as a fortress but it was destroyed when its ammo was detonated by an Ork missle. the space sharks rescued as many people as they could and immidiately got involved in the badab war where they were gifted the mantis warrioris home worldbut for me thats were the records stop. i always thought the mantis legions home world would be sort of like japan so the space sharks set out to get thier hands on ancient terraforming tech. but with your permission i would rather use yours. oh and but the way muy company is also the third wierd.

commander alexander Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Although I neglected to read the following seven pages, I read the first,very cool concept. :P Also very cool sketches and they should be very fun to model. Just a question/suggestion. Do the sharks of their homeworld get really big? If they grew to old age and great size, it would be very cool to use their teeth as blades :) .... You could model this with nid parts as previously suggested.
