http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SM scouts. I've never been a massive fan of Space marine preffering Imperial Guard for the gritty underdog feel,but I love the scout models.This army idea has been brewing for a while but It will take a while to get stuff done due to the inevitable family/work responsibilities blah,blah.
I'm not great with the Fluff but the rough idea behind it would be: a new founding chapter who have been ravaged by hundreds of years of defeats at teh hands of various invading armies the cahpater finds itself with little or on marine trained or equiped with full power armour. the Neophytes are the core of the army let by a hand full of experienced scout Masters.
The chapter find themselves beseiged on a planet of ruined city scapes.their vehicles and armour show the wear and tear of a prolonged urban war with very few supply ships making it through the orbital blockade to replenish supplies.
I'll be basing colour schemes on an urban theme, blacks/greys/green, looking to give myself the chance to learn new painting skills mainly with armour weathering ,mud and dust treatments etc.
if anyone has any tips on thes etechniques I'd love to hear them. it'sprobaly not going to be a game ready army but you never know.
any feedback would be glady recieved.
keep your eyes peeled for new bits and bobs.

also found this pic of the head tattoo and thought it would be a cool addition to bald scout heads if I can pull it off.This is actually a real tat, some folk need to get a grip.
don't want it feeling like a neo nazi army but let me know what you think.

hopefully be using some IG parts for the scouts as well, it may end up feeling more like an IG army but that's not a bad thing.

hope you like.

I have a sentinal needing built but can't ecide what to do with it, covert it to count as a draednought for the scouts or use it in a diorama of sorts.always wanted to do a team of goblind over running a sentinal with stick bombs ,hanging of it as it flails around trying to shake them off.

also have a dreanought to play with. the aim with this will be to have it very damaged to show the age of it,the dread having survived whilst the rest of the marines dies over hundreds of years street fighting,leaving just the young hardened scouts to wage a desperate and hidden war.

During the years of fighting the Gretchin ,sick of years of being pushed around by the Orks they managed to assist the Scouts in overthrowing the Orks.The Scouts grudgingly agreed and since those days the Gretchin have tagged along with the scouts, assisting and spotting where they can. this obviously would never happen with a fully fledged chapter but due to the scouts having been so depleated over the years their cunning nature has allowed them to employ many tactics not normally seen.

or something like that.

The Sargeant has been posed leaping from a been mid power fist punch, the base need more rubble etc but I'm reasonably happy with it. the power fist came from an old Termi' arm.I've have another few with will be butchered for the assault squad scout sarge.still feel I need to add some more gear to show his rank, melta bombs no doubt.

another bolter guy for the same squad done as well, the same style of running/leaping pose , throwing a grenade.again the base needs more work.

as suggested by the Good Green I've tilted the head forward on the shotgun guy to stop him looking like he's falling back too much. I think it does work.

also a pic of the whole first squad posted.

the snipers are taking a while but I'll be woking on these as well as the assault team. the dreadnoughtis very much in my thoughts for conversion ideas but may be fairly simple .

I like to see them sticking or hanging out on either side. Not in a way that would draw attention, of course, but like fabric hanging around a single strap in the center. I like the concept behind it a lot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1331039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1331039.page GMT
good green: if you look closely there is a central buttoned strap, which would be attached to the inside of the cloak, I might well add another 1 either side to keep the roll tight but not sure if it's really needed.

had a wee base coating sess last night for the tactical squad and start of the house clearing squad.
House clearers have black uniforms ie SAS but all units will have the same grey powerarmour.the tact' squad had ctachan green uniforms.
not sure about the snipers,any suggestions on colour scheme?
what kind of camo for the cloak?
the have the generic grey armour but was wither thinking brown or grety or camo uniforms.

any suggestions welcome]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1337039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1337039.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1337117.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1337117.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1337471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1337471.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1338555.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1338555.page GMT lol

Possible replacement for terminators in an all scout force.

Lennysmash: Your the man, I've seen all of these and drooled over all. I've been thinking about how to do termi/lifting suit things in my own way, they rock rather hard. under the couch stuff is the bomb. thnaks for the inspiration.too many ideas brewing ,damn you lenny!

Duece11: I do have a vague idea for a list but i don't game, I want it to be game legal if I decide to at some point to start again.

Theghoma:I love the landspeeder storm but don'e feel flying vehicles would have much place in an urban force,I'll probably getthe kit at some point and try and convert it into something like the British army Jackal.land speeder on wheels

kits waiting for conversion/inspiration are a dreadnought ,a sentinal, some bike bit(maybe a llight weight quad) a bunch of termi arms to get he power fists removed for sarge scouts.

want to finish off some painting though.

thanks to all, more to come, any and all comments or suggestions totally welcome. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1339778.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1339778.page GMT
could I ask a wee favour of you. I been looking for advice on how to reposition legs and such like. I've just completed my first two trial sets and I was wondering if you could take a look at them for me. I just wanted to know if what I did was ok, if it looks realistic or if there is any other things I may have done differently. If you're pushed for time I understand but any help would be greatly appreciated.

the latest sarge had a power fist robbed from an inquisitor termi.
another guy for the assault squad, running into action wth twin bolt pistols
the last p;ics are of my new commander.started as a counts as terminator model and has grown a bit.still lots of work to do.
the torso is from an old comissar, he's been ravaged by war and encased within the walker, might be counts as dreadnought or termi, not sure ,any ideas?

more work to do so catch you all later. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1377985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1377985.page GMT

As for the cloak, I hadn't thought about straps. If you add a strap that's sewn onto the point about the rolled fabric those buttons will make a lot more sense and give you a minimum of work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1387485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1387485.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1387490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/274119/1387490.page GMT
Nice job mate. I haven't been on here in three weeks, but the work you've churned out looks MEGA. The way you position the troops,especially the commander/dreadnought, looks brilliant. Could you post a pic of the whole army so far? I look forward to the ATV's you've got in the pipe-line.
