Ok let's roll























Love or Rage, I will entertain both

Also if you have questions feel free to ask. The sequin thingies are earrings from the craft store. It was like 20 bucks to get all those but it was well worth it. The bare heads are high elf archers. Like I said if something isn't clear just ask and I will answer.

Um,well...they certainly are pretty.
Actualy I like them,very well painted and not an angry bald headed screaming marine in the bunch,nice work.

The painting technique for shading and all that technical stuff is awesome. Very impressive work.

The over all impression of the army just doesn't work for me. But like I said, the painting and converting itself is masterful.

May i ask why?...

i think i just went insane. i'd be ashamed to lose to this. this is epic win.

See,the over all impresion of this army is the main reason I like it,it shows alot of thought on the part of it's creator,and more so it's not "just another "SM army.
Of course this is just my opinion..but again I say well done.

i feel vaguely violated, like, that isnt how marines are sposed to be :(

on another note, they do look great, i like the highlighting and similar on the land raider

You bedazzled them.....Face + Palm.

Cool and unique army, You should totally have them fight some hello kitty/angry marines.

Thanks guys. I am glad the army is causing you to question the Grimdark!

Is this another Women of the Adeptus Astartes thread?



Ghidorah

hmm... Painted in pink and purple... Picking flowers... have love-hearts all over... Are you sure they aren't Eldar ??

Seriously though, they do look cool, they are very nicely painted, especially the flag, very manga.

Ghidorah wrote:Is this another Women of the Adeptus Astartes thread?



Ghidorah

No they are men.

Just very vain and wimpy men.

I keep looking for a rainbow bumper sticker on one of the tanks! I am sure its there some where...come on where is it!

Nice work man, not sure why you did it but to each his own. Still Its nice work.

The paintwork is great, but I don't entirely get it.

Like, is it supposed to be ironic? Or for a girl?

Didn't you once do a great looking army that everyone was crying about because they felt it looked too Nazi? Wouldn't it be mandatory for you to play both these armies at the same time?

Pretty Marines are just an internet meme poking fun at the idea of "grimdark" and the seriousness behind it.

God I am so glad I decided against playing soul drinkers now lol. Was this for a female? They look really great I just cant take them seriously..I keep thinking "We heart daddy Emperor hes fabulous." =/

interesting... nice paint job though.

GMM i love your work no matter what color you choose.
Because its just so well done and natural looking that its believable.

You are 天下無雙

With great power, comes great responsibility. Uncle Ben would be disappointed.

Why oh why didn't you drill the barrels out?

Otherwise I got a chuckle out of the sparkly vehicles. Being secure and having a sense of humor I can appreciate them. It shows some dedication to take the meme this far.

Those are incredible!
"Pruple Rain"?! Vindicator?!
Gonna party like it's 40,099.
Really nice job GMMStudios.

Over all i love them, it is something i personally never would have done but wow, the paint is just so clean and well done. You could probobly make eldar look really threatening too....

Zip Napalm wrote:Gonna party like it's 40,099.

Win.



Ghidorah

Didn't you once do a great looking army that everyone was crying about because they felt it looked too Nazi?

When you go as far as creating almost exact copies of Nazi propaganda, and trying really hard to copy the swastika without actually copying it, I'd say it's too much.

...anyway, moving on!


This army...my god, this army. It's atrocious, it's absolutely hideous, it's quite possibly one of the worst armies I've ever laid eyes on. Nicely done.

I like how you went the extra mile and even got Forge World bits for this army. It's so utterly ridiculous and yet so much time and money went into it, it's insane. Good luck on the auction, I'd love to buy it myself but I don't have that kind of cash.

I couldn't agree more.

That being said, I want it! Just to humiliate all my opponents with.

If only you had painted up a power list :(

Huh.

Now I know what it feels like to open up Lamarchand's box.

Beautifully converted and painted. I'm very impressed.

This being said, they have clearly been corrupted by vile Slanaashi agents or the insidious Eldar.
As such, I mark thee Diabolus Extremis.
Exterminatus to commence immediately.

Pfft, you misquoted me. Although you ended up praising him for it yourself in the next sentence, so...nevermind?

Amazing execution of a curious idea

all i can say is... it's 1:00 in the morning, i come to a forum of grimdarkness, and look upon this..... It's oddly refreshing. I hate it. I hate it with such passion; yet I can't stop looking, and thinking how amazingly well done that is.

You painting is very very good! I love that you chose an army that will cause major reactions to everyone that sees it! Not offensive, yet still painful to look at. Yet, you must stare at the artistic skill put into it. Makes the brain melt. What I would not give to take this to a RTT and have all soft scores maxed out by default!!! Genius. There is a fine line between genius and insanity, so a famous dead guy once said. The line with this army is definitely not straight. Take that as you will.

It's a definite win if you ask me, lovely paintjob.
Though if facing these guys in battle I wouldn't be sure what would kill me first; their guns or laughter.

I am slightly disturbed as to where your inspiration came from, is there some army in history that has marched to war under the banner of Hearts? And more to the point did they win? Or get crushed/heartbroken!! (Oh I am funny!)

But on a serious note they are very cleanly painted.

Wow. Just wow.

Cheers,

Jack.

I can't believe so many people don't know about the Pretty Marines.

lol when i first saw them i thought it was Emperor's Children marines

Saw these on ebay they reminded me of Dr.Thunder.

Ewwwwww! Dr. Thunder.... Please.

: (

Hehe but Doc Thunder gives them a sex change, I dont think he has painted any pink has he

Sidstyler wrote:I can't believe so many people don't know about the Pretty Marines.

I agree.

They look great, now the Angry Marines just need to come and beat the snot out of them.

Oddly enough I had no idea there were Chaos Pretty Marines until I linked people to 1d4chan and saw it in the article. For some reason I now feel inspired to make a squad of my own.

I'm guessing the vehicles were airbrushed. Did you use a glaze technique on the infantry?

If it wasn't for the hearts, I'd quickly snap these up.

One other touch I found funny was the plasma gunner was afraid of his gun getting hot, but the cannon carrier wasn't bothered in the least.

They are certainly.....and with an ever so subtle hint of....
The.....is....well, there.

I love this army yet the heads are pretty unsuited
how can the pretty marines have such angry faces.

Because Games Workshop don't make very many anime pretty-boy Marine heads and sculpting is hard.

Yeah they are the most unmanly heads GW makes. Also everyone hates them when used on the original kit partially because they look funky on the archers and partially because they are so feminine looking.

Brilliant. If I had an extra grand lying around I'd snatch them up in a heartbeat.

I am reminded of the line from the Dirty Dozen: "They're pretty, but can they fight?"

They look great and have made me grin wildly. I like!

This is great, brings a lot of levity to the table. Well painted and converted as well, which is to be expected of gmm!

I both love and hate this army, but it would be awesome to play against them for shear comedy value,

Great job painting them!

Honestly, the microphone on your chapter master/captain looks terrible. The rest is absolutely amazing but that microphone looks like you just rolled up some paper real thin and stuck a blob of greenstuff to the top, and then painted the greenstuff black.

They remind me of Torscah's Ghina Marines.

BlueGiant wrote:I am reminded of the line from the Dirty Dozen: "They're pretty, but can they fight?"

No they can't actually.

Well painted and converted.

Sadly it is more proof that Anime can and will infect and destroy everything if given the chance...

Better to dust off and nuke this army from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...

Agreed. They are well done. As for the nuke, just let the Angry Marines know where they are and all will be taken care of.

HERESY!

Holy... you did this in under two weeks? I really need to get my ass in gear.

Firstly I just have to comment on how well converted and painted they are. It really is a pleasure to see such a well painted and assembled force.

Secondly.... OMG its wrong. If I was an opponent in a game I wouldnt know where to look. Even my Tyranids would find it hard to run towards a pink army of space marines, it just isnt right. GOOD JOB! Psychological warfare FTW.

lord_blackfang wrote:Holy... you did this in under two weeks? I really need to get my ass in gear.

Short of assembling the tanks and converting the characters which I did in some downtime its all one week.

Sorry I meant to PM you when it was done.

Awesome army, love to see someone having fun with the hobby and not taking it at all seriously.

Sweet paint job!

They look pretty....

Oh so pretty....


So witty, and pretty, and ????



Nice job man....nice job.....

Haha thanks Al I knew for some reason you would like them!

What a waste of talent and time

VERY well executed. Seamless lady-boy conversions, realistic shading, great freehand, and the vehicles... ah, the vehicles. They're what really tip the scales into the 'awesome slathered with awesome-sauce" realm for me. It's obviously a novelty army, but the vehicles have all the signs of use and wear, without being weathered and damaged like they've been blown halfway to hell for the past 5,000 years. The look of real use, coupled with the ridiculous decoration ("Purple Rain" really did it for me. I had to choke back a chuckle) makes the army silly, girly, and vain, but also PLAUSIBLE which, in turn, makes it even more ridiculous. Maybe that's just me. Either way, I say WIN.

Purple WAS my favourite colour... now I feel ill

Its Lavender!

Nice paintjobs. Best distraction technique ever for games.

It's still purple... Lavender, Violet, lilac... it's all purple...

And now... now...

That is one awesome job.
For some reason, I keep thing of Emperor's Children...
I find them oddly disturbing but I'm not sure exactly why...

So whats next? Can you paint me a up my little pony or carebears guard list ?

The Painting on these is of a very high standard which I can appreciate. However............................

If my 'male' opponent took these out the case and put them on the table opposite me, I'd seriously be questioning which team he plays for and whether or not he's ever found a female even remotely attractive!

Awesome!

Must be a successor Chapter of the "Rainbow Warriors."

I love it! Fabulous paint job and conversions.

Pictures of this army should be used when people ask "How do i get my wife/girlfriend into 40k?".

I think more women would be into at least the hobby aspect if they can see how much fun you can have with it.

Oh and Drill out those Gun Barrels!

Must... be....purged...

This win of this army would be even more epic if it was chaos.

accually, I quite like them

Love or Rage, I will entertain both

Really?

I really think they are a waste of your talent and time. I absolutely love the Eldar you did and clearly you have a knack for taking 40k visuals to new, interesting heights.

If you do "pretty marines" to earn your living and to please a customer or you just think this work is what you want into your artistic legacy - my hat's off to you.

But looking at it as work from a seriously talented artist - I personally think it's utter bollocks, not even pushing the parody and hearty pinkness into any new or bold direction. It has absolutely nothing to do with the imagery and spirit of the subject matter. Some years past some guy did NHL marines, people generally loved them. I thought it worked just about as well as if Ovechkin wore a Space Marine power armour mockup to games.

Fantastic technical skill, but I'm looking at an inside joke that I don't quite understand. Kudos for trying something completely original though.

Artists can include humor in thier work. Not everyone has to be dark and dismal.

They are very original and I love them. Now I wanna see pretty orks.

I must say GREAT job here on these marines (I say marines loosely here ).

As one fella said in an earlier post I reel a little violated. Kinda like opening the door to my work room and seeing that my wife redecorated it with Strawberry Shortcake stuff. (probably dated myself with the Strawberry Shortcake comment)

I really like what you have done. Very clean and different. I would not want this paint job but I surely would not want to have my booty handed to me by them either. Oh the shame

Now I expect to see some marines riding "my pretty ponys" for fast attack vehicles. Get on it.

Actually I had been planning to make them for a while, just hadnt had the chance until last week. I also dont appreciate you belittling what I do for a living.

Instead of looking at the hobby from your high horse, maybe you should step down and see that not only does this army make people laugh but it has garnered me a great deal of publicity. The response has been astounding and as I said before, Try getting such a response from any fluffily painted chapter. No one appointed you sir handsome knight of the fair fluff maiden, its a big universe. Not only plenty of space it in for wild ideas but space to stop and have fun with it too.

Enemies of the Emprah beware. Bolter hugs and flamer kisses for everyone.
Seriously, the paint job is fabulous. It's like seeing a Ferrari recycled into a sculpture.
Cool, beautiful, painful.
Wow, you have been tainted by Slaanesh!

Now I know what they are. Pre-heresy Emperor's Children.

Mate im only 15 years old but im perfectly aware of what strawberry shortcake is
i can only blame my younger sister and her tv that is stuck on full volume...

It would feel so weird to play a game with/against/including this army. O.O

It's a silly army to look at but if you look at the list as a whole I think it could win some games. I've been to GMM's studio and seen that he has painted many many beautiful armies plus he can knock out an entire army in a very short period of time. Most of us would need six months to a year to produce an army as well modeled and painted. Seeing that GMM can quickly produce an army why should he not create some that are a variant to what we expect to see. So often I see people criticize an army when it does not fit into how they think an army or particular army should look. Lighten up please. They are toy soldiers. While I wouldn't buy this army that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the work put into it or fail to enjoy the intended humor.

Amazing Paint Job!

Thanks for the support guys

Yes, no-one appointed me "sir handsome knight of the fair fluff maiden", yet I am titled for an opinion.

I'm a product designer by profession. I'd personally never design anything I don't think represents the values and best exemplifies, in a new valuable way the qualities of the product and possible brand. To me design is what, why and how, 99% in that particular order. I don't in ANYWAY doubt the attention. If Ferrari did a new design that in no way represented the heritage and their form factor, I'm sure it would cause an explosion of attention!

But Like I said, you do it for a living, my hat is off to you - I in no way mean to belittle what you do for a living. It's awesome that you can do what you do! Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and eating/taking care comes first and perspective and values always differ. Sense of humor is VERY different.

My apologies for any hard feelings a critical view has caused in this context and I won't offer it again Looking forward to what you do next.

Amazing army. I would proudly play that army.

You have mad skillz.

Spectacular paint job, and great execution. If only you could use your powers for good, and not evil!

(You soo need some pretty CSM).

As I said via PM I did nothing I did not want to do. You speak as if I am whoring myself out to feed my starving children. Quit looking down your nose at it and start thinking outside the box. I went out of my way to do it because it is an original, never done before and fun idea.

I certainly don't!! Why are you reading into everything so aggressively? That certainly doesn't match the peace and love of the miniature subject matter. You said you do this a living and I should not look this from a hobby perspective alone, to which I agreed and said you have my respect. I further more commended you on your talent and other work.

I offered my apologies.

And now I need quit looking down my nose? And to start thinking outside the box You try soooo very hard to get personal, call me names and dismiss all the work I have done just because I disagree on one, a, ONE, concept in your projects. NICE!

Edit I am re-opening the thread. As a preventative: I publicly stating that GMM/Migsula you two WILL cease fire now. You've both stated your opinions to each other now, move on.

I went and checked out your other work and I must say I take my hat off to you.
OUTSTANDING work.

I just had to post this pic. I love the look of these marines. They look so orky. Some humies with some style finally.

Another of GMMs work.

I apologize, I didnt think it was that heated, although I may have used some strongs words to get the point across.

The fact that they're Pretty Marines aside, this is some pretty awesome work. Though now you do realize you do need to make Angry Marines to save your dignity, right?

GMM did those dirty marines I posted above ya. Is not that mean enough for ya.

This is just awesome Is that a marine hiding from the discharge of their plasma rifle like a little girl

I, too, sometimes chuckle at the "grimdark" future universe all this is set in, and I appreciate someone poking fun at it a little . This army is really well executed! Great job taking an idea all the way to fruition

Love the army; your painting is fantastic.

I cant take credit for that, the reason I did it is because there is one of those inspiration image thingies floating around the internet with a marine in that same pose that says "Plasma, always worth it."

Still, you did the converting (I'm thinking that's a missile launcher left hand? It's been a while since I played marines) and deserve credit for pulling it off very convincingly

I love these models, and I think that in a BIG universe, there is enough room for them. And I mean that in ALL seriousness.

Let's the fair now; if we accept the 40K universe as a real universe which we peer into, we see armies like the Space Wolves and Blood Angels, and also see the Imperial Guard (in all flavors). There is a huge variation from the necessity of what an army has to be.

Look at sucessful historical armies - cool dress uniforms aside, they have all looked very similar to their contemporaries. This is an issue of practicality - something which 40K does not seem to need.

So, I think the idea of a chapter of Marines who eschew traditional imagery of butch masculinity and go for a more "Fabio" style is entirely realistic and in keeping with the Imperium. If I were a guardsman and some of these chaps turned up, I wouldn't think they were pansies. I would think they were 8ft tall killing machines with very beautiful armor, and an emphasis on heart imagery.

Heart imagery has been used in many places and by many people; crusaders made use of it, referencing the sacred heart of Jesus and the immaculate heart of Mary. While this army was born out of a silly idea, I think the final execution is, just about, close enough to serious to fit into the insanity which is 40K.

I feel the sudden urge to paint up a Company of red and yellow Marines, all armed with power bats and angry faces. And then throw them into battle against these Marines.

A good analysis, but the overall "Happy sunshine fun time peace-friends" attitude of Pretty Marines kind of kills it. But worry not. The people that Troll about folks doing meme armies are the ones that don't know the referances, have no ability to accept crude humor, or are just jealous because the joke army turned out better than their own serious projects. I love this army from a conversion standpoint. Though I do despise Pretty Marines as a Chapter

Can Angrymarines be next?

Yeah Slaanesh gets away with Lavender a lot more easily than loyalists

I think this army is hilarious !

I think it'd be even better if it laid the smack down on someone at a tournament..

Alas, they are just 'pretty' to look at..

My Wife just happened to look over my shoulder as I was looking at the pics and said she would play if she had an army that looked like that.

Technically excellent work, not my cup of tea, but nicely done. Also, I would rather face off against that army than any of the bare plastic forces that are so common.

Wouldn't you be afraid for your wife, though? Considering how seriously some people take their fluff and how most consider joke armies to be an affront to the hobby or them personally, I wouldn't be surprised if one or two people were willing to go to blows over it.

AshAxe you are about the 20th person to tell me that, you would not believe how many wives love this army.

Awesome technical skill. Pink is very hard to pull off without looking too much like Pepto-bismol (or other countries equivalent).

I'd gladly play against it.

I like it! It's so NOT grimdark! One needs to break from tradition so as not to choke on it... (My Russes have pin-up transfers and are called Naughty Lola and Suarabaya Jenny to help carry a Cabaret theme )

Not a bit, I would be more concerned for her opponent as she is very, very competitive.

We play a game of toy soldiers set in a fictional universe. Really, if someone wants to fight over how someone painted an army, then that someone needs to grow up and seriously re-evaluate their priorities.

I just realized what this army reminds me of - the notion of the complete man from Samurai legend. We have beautiful people doing elegant things with a real sense of aesthetics who are ALSO deadly warriors.

I love this army, I really do. I think with very minor tweaks this could be an official Chapter which fitted perfectly into the canon of 40K.

..."minor" tweaks? I don't think so.

Maybe he means less hearts?
