Yes, thats right, I am *finally* making the unmakable, a Loyalist Army!
*SHOCK*
A Space Marine army
*Horror*
Named after an Australian Baseball Team, unintentionally
*SCREA.... WTF??!!

Jokes aside, as some of you will know, my flgs is holding an event to make your own army. I chose SMs as it is easy, cheap and I can re-use some AoBR models.

I will keep some models just the way they are for personal reasons.

No pics of my own, but one FACEBOOK pic from my flgs's painting comp.

**Matt.Kingsley**

That was my first freehand, too

**Maddy_**

FREEHAND WRITING ON SEAL!!!!!!

**Joyous_Oblivion**

Some pics would be appreciated. Putting in links will limit how much people will see your work by a great deal.

Looks interesting man, I like your shading on the model (or what I can see of it). Keep up with the creative flow. Good job with the freehand. The picture could be a little less blurry, but thats all good

Can't wait to see more models man.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Sorry bout thatbut it is not my pic! My model though
Thanks for the kind words!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Just got the BA codex and Astorth to convert into my chapter master yesterday.

**Maddy_**

How many points is the army going to be?

**Matt.Kingsley**

1750

**Maddy_**

Pretty good size!

**Matt.Kingsley**

It was the best size for me as It means I have enough room for the models and weapons I want!

**Matt.Kingsley**

I am thinking of using the FW assualt marines. What do you all think?

**purplefood**

Shiny...
Personally i hate the FW assault marines but that's me so go figure.
Hope to see some more...

**Matt.Kingsley**

Why? Are they bad?

**Matt.Kingsley**

I, brother Orion of the Hunter Eagles Chapter, was flying in a Stormraven over a massive forest to engage an ork warband. I looked out my viewport and watched for the first signs of the ork gun line.
"We'll be at the gun line in about 30 minutes!" came the voice of our techmarine pilot "get ready, guys, looks like hell down there!"
I continued to scan the terrain stretched out in front of us.
Then I saw a fluttering trail of parchment. I followed the trail with my eyes. The trail ended at our Chapter Master, Wedge Talon. A mass of gun fire, at that moment, slowly made its way towards him. Then, in a flash of silver, Wedge cut them all into nothing more but glitter with The Eagles Talons. The sparkles slowly made their way past my view port.
Then I fell over backwards. "We've been hit!" came the voice of our techmarine pilot.

To be continued...

I cant wait for the second part!

This may be a bit ot, but when will you be updating your 'Forfotten' threads fluff?

**Matt.Kingsley**

I will speak about the fluff for that later on a more aproppriet thread!

You wait is over though, I have made part two! (And, yes, there are more parts!

)

"The Damage report is coming through now!", said he, "nothing to worry about, it's only minor! Wait, the servitor gunner is just telling me that something on the upper hull is sparking, I'll just ask one of the Honour Guard members to check it out"
A moment later we heard a clang as a Honour Guard member landed to check it out.
A large BOOM! sounded and everyone on board not strapped properly into their seats tumbled over, including me. Warning lights and sirens sounded around the cabin. "The left engine has been hit!, yelled the piloit "You will all have to disembark now! I'll call the Assault squad over to assist you!"
The front Assualt ramp opened and we all got in a line to get picked up, I was at the end. When my turn to be evacuated came, the ship was blasted yet again. I tumbled from the platform. The last thing I saw was the Stormraven become engulfed in flames...

May I please have some comments on the fluff?
This is my secondish time at making a story so I need all the advice/critisim I can get.

Oh, and does anyone know were I can get some power weapons from/how to make them from scratch?

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, I'm a bit behind time.
I was MEANT to complete at least 500pts last month, finished nothing.
I have some catching up to do!
Shouldn't be hard, got school holidays soon so it should be easy to complete alot.

I'll finish troops and Hq then move on to honour guard, stormraven + finish off dread (still need blood talon arms)

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, I can now go to my flgs (gw) and pick up my marine!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, I'm guessing you want more pics?
Well you'll have to wait a BIT longer

**Winter**

More pics is good, less blurry ones would be even better.

**Matt.Kingsley**

lucky for you, I should have my hands on the mini Thursday night if not before.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Still should be able to get the model Thursday

**Matt.Kingsley**

Everything's on hold at the moment, got broken into yesterday.

**Matt.Kingsley**

Ok, anyone know where I can get cheap BA Battle force + stormrave (preferably un-built/painted)

**sluggaslugga**

I can't see them!
(i'm going to take a look next week when I come back from China (where Facebook is prohibited)).

**Matt.Kingsley**

Uhh, I posted a pic from the Dakka Gallery on this thread...

**Matt.Kingsley**

I hae the model!

I'll get pics later
