Hey all

Due to popular demand we are going to do a Pre-Heresy Legion Conclave


For those of you who dont know what this is, here is the idea

I would be looking to try and get as many marines of Pre-Heresy Legions together.This requires participation from the Dakka community. Whoever wants to take part would paint just one marine of a certain legion of their choosing.
Due to the fact that there are only 18 Legions, please choose from one of the below. If you wish to do another type of marine, please submit it to the New Space Marine Conclave instead
You will be able to paint more than one legion if you want and there will be no problem with doubling up (ie you and another person do the same legion) as long as we end up with all the 18 legions by the end
Due to being expunged, the 2nd and 11th legions will not be choosable as there is no subject matter on them

I - Dark Angels
II – Expunged From Records
III – Emperors Children
IV – Iron Warriors
V – White Scars
VI – Space Wolves
VII – Imperial Fists
VIII – Night Lords
IX – Blood Angels
X - Iron Hands
XI – Expunged From Records
XII – World Eaters
XIII – Ultramarines
XIV – Death Guard
XV – Thousand Sons
XVI – Luna Wolves
XVII – Word Bearers
XVIII – Salamanders
XIX – Raven Guard
XX – Alpha Legion


This marine would then be posted to me. (You will not get it back)

Im based in London BTW

I will take a picture of each marine sent and post it on Dakka
Once a certain time has passed there will be a group photo of all the submitted marines. The whole project will then be listed on Ebay or Dakka in a bid form and the money raised will all go to charity

Any ideas for this feel free to submit them

Feel free to submit your chapter preferences asap

Well if you are up for it then go ahead

But dont think we should impose restrictions on other people and say you have to have an older Mark of battle plate, etc
Some people wont have access to that so will just leave it open
As long as it is true to what the colour scheme and general look of the legions then it should be fine i reckon

I'll do Ultramarines and If nobody minds I will also do Emperors Children (maybe their Primarch Fulgrim).

I'll submit marines from the Emperor's Children, Space Wolves, and Alpha Legion

I'll take Death Guard and Salamanders.

I'll so an Ultramarine and a Thousand Sons.

Are we doing matching bases this time? If we can get a resin base company to sponsor this, I don't mind painting and flocking all the bases.

Hmm. Luna wolves for me I think.

space wolves. nuff said ^_^

I think we should maybe do just one chapter each so more people can contribute, I'd like to do Death Guard or World Eaters or Alpha Legion.

dark angles please

I'll do Ultramarines!

does it have to be pre heresy armour?

Actually, on further thoughts, i think I'll do filthy filthy blood angels.

I will be a spectator for this! Bring em on

Sign me up for White Scars

Weety, oh queen of old school models, you gonna pile in here?

Just as a spectator - cant afford all that pre-heresy stuff - My beakies are post heresy so I cant really use them. But I'm really looking forward to lurking

mark 6 armor was made before Mars fell to the traitors, mark 7 was made on Terra just before the siege

This. And also by the time of the Siege the Death Guard, Thousand Sons, Emperor's Children and Word Bearers were showing armour corruption. (The first two due to the changes that took place on the journey, the third by choice and the fourth...read the First Heretic.)

Perhaps I will think about it. I was getting kind of fed up painting beakies white and green anyway. I will have a look at the paint schemes. Got at least a squad of beakies left to paint.

I reckon it will be fine mate
We should have all the legions covered and this way we get more marines from each legion

Let me know which one/ones you want to do

Might have a go at raven guard seeing as no one else has yet

prototype_X wrote:does it have to be pre heresy armour?

No i reckon any armour will be fine
Not everyone has access to the pre-heresy armour but if you have then thats great

Mate if you want to participate you are more than welcome

Normal armour will be fine as long as the legion colour is right

All correct but remember guys this is pre-heresy legions we are doing the colours schemes should be before any of the legions turned traitor
So the Sons of Horus will still be the Luna Wolves

Nice one weety
Welcome

Welcome everyone who has requested a legion

They are all up on the list

We have 13 of the 18 legions covered

Which has me wondering if the Raptor armour designs are pre-heresy in nature or came about in the Warp. As they'd make for something very dynamic... (and it's bad I have like, 5 spare Raptor bodies and arms but not jump packs....haha)

Hi I will happily paint up a World Eater for this.
Are the Forge World fine. I have some maximus suits I think.
Are they to be based in any particular way?

I'll do Death Guard then and if I have more time then maybe some others too.

I guess I'll do DA!

Edit mine:
I'm buying the whole pack off Forgeworld, might as well paint them all:

Iron Hands
Imperial Fists
Salamander
Death Guard
Emperors Children.

I don't have Space Marine stuff so if someone in the US could cheaply mail me a few bolters? PM me if you would like to help ^_^
