I was posting some of my progress on a different forum, but I'd like to see what you guys think. I have been waiting for awhile for the new Space Wolves codex, and now that it is out I have been working on a tournament-legal Angry Marines army. I currently have 1500 pts of this army, and hopefully after the holidays I can build a 2000 pt list. here is what I have created so far:


here are the painted models so far. I used these three to test out colors and painting techniques. I like how they turned out and I look forward to painting the others!


the standard Angry Marines.


the first of my squad leaders, Angry Alan. he is armed with a pistol and a "frost blade". I wanted him to have an eviscerator, but the space wolves codex didn't have the option.


all of my squad leaders. can't wait to paint them!
from left to right:
-chapter master Magnus Iratus
(thunder wrench & bolter, but will trade out thunder hammer profile with frost blade profile)
-Angry James of the Devastators
(power 2x4, bolt pistol)
-Angry Boris of the Terminators
(power wrench, storm bolter)
-Angry Dennis of the Angry Bikers
(power fist)
-Angry Frank of the Angry Marines troops
(mark of RAGE)


and finally, we have Dirk the Jerk. Equipped with a twin-linked heavy flamer, another heavy flamer, and smoke launchers.

feel free to share any thoughts and ideas. I'd love to hear what others are thinking about this project! I plan on painting a bunch of these figures this holiday break, and I will post my progress as I reach major milestones. enjoy!

I really like the yelling guy! the paint job is really cool! i also like the paint job. these guys are going to look great!

I love the angry marines. Well done on those!!

Nice work. The chainsaw dude is hilarious.

alan.is.PRICELESS.

gotta love the AMs...
good lookin stuff dude

That is cool, i love it when people go out of the square with imperial guard and space marines. You can convert anything!

can't wait to see that dreadnought painted!

Check those out. Fan made rules. I love the rule for the smoke launchers.

actually I have been using all of the different renditions of the fan-made rules as guidelines for equipping my Angry Marines army, especially these fan-made codexes. I may not know all of the lore of the Angry Marines, but I think I am getting a solid grip on it.

You need an Angry Marine beating something with it's own leg as it writhes on the ground

And you need a nail bat, and a sock full of locks lol

It is so hard for me not to start Angry Marines when I look at the unpainted plastics I have. Literally the only reason I have not jumped at the idea is because I'm not sure how I would explain why my miniatures are covered in obscenity to friends and family.

Your next dreadnaught should have the marine interred inside punching his way out through the sarcophagus cover in a fit of rage.

Lol, I remember taking your avatar like 6 months ago or so, jam. Thanks.

I actually thought I wrote what you had there XD.

Angry Marines need their own GW codex.

Cool i like the guy with the big chainsword!

Umm... you spelled rage wrong

I lol'd so much. This army is an instant classic; I intend to do Angry Marines at some point as well.

LOL. Well they are angry angry marines.
But still LOL. Nice army i love the frostsabre your ass here --->
Hahahaha priceless.
What other characters are you making?

This will probably cause a lot of rage, but you could build a Completly GW Leagal Angry Marine List use the Space Wolves.
Twin-Chain Fist
MotW-Rage.

[please don't hurt for this, I have been thinking about it since the SW book came out and saw that you could take 2 Chain Fist]

Dooooooood! A Power 2x4??? I just about pissed myself! That is awesome! More more more!!!

[please don't hurt for this, I have been thinking about it since the SW book came out and saw that you could take 2 Chain Fist]

actually using two chainfists is completely legal AND available for HQ choices and Wolf Guard. BITCHIN! also the MotW is awesome, but it's rules say "[the model's close combat attacks] are not affected by wargear, additional hand weapons and so on, though they may be bolstered by other factors (the bonus for charging, Logan Grimnar's Living Legend ability, etc.)" which means that the two powerfists may or may not serve any purpose in battle in conjunction with that ability (I will have to delve into this apsect a little more just to be sure...). for this reason the fella I did give the MotW to, Angry Frank, I gave two chainswords and the emblem on his back to show that he has the mark of RAGE, since the equipment is ignored in close combat anyway and they look awesome.

BUT I do have a wolf guard battle leader/Wolf Guard slot open, so I can always get a double chain/powerfist model on the field, and if I can slap on a mark of RAGE!...AND a jump-pack maybe???? AND on the topic of close combat weapons I feel it very necessary that the next squad leader shall be modeled thusly:


I can't wait for this holiday break! Also thanks for the ideas you guys are tossing out, I am gonna have so much fun making and building these guys!

oh yeah. since it looks like I am going to have a couple new special guys, any ideas for names?

PRICELESS!

Zoolon wrote:oh yeah. since it looks like I am going to have a couple new special guys, any ideas for names?

I do, but Dakka will probably get me for profanity.

hey folks! it's been awhile since I have posted any progress on my army, but I assure you that I am making great progress on my army! I currently have 1000 pts of my 2000 pt. force fully painted. here are the pics of everything completely painted so far:


and here is a closeup on my Angry Marine Chaplain:

Image removed for containing profanity. Nice paint work though.


Also I think that I will continue to use Space Wolves rules until the Blood Angels codex comes out later this year. I have heard that this new codex can more accurately portray Angry Marines, so we'll see when it comes out!

That's all I got so far for ya! Next up will be all my Fast attack and Heavy support choices!

This is Awesome ANGRY army

Lol i love this army.

Very, very nice

Ahh hah ha that's sick!

I'm sure the Emperor would drop a golden deuce if he saw them.

Rage face on the banner is the best part.

LOVE IT

Nice 4 the lulz

Although, I'd hide the top word on the chaplains loincloth before the mods see it

I have to say this may be the best thing to ever come from 4chan

They look awesome (someone should take them to anger managment )

Anyone ice fish? I think a "Power Auger of Anger" would be the best weapon ever. Augging someone against a wall.

Hilarious!

You really have to be one of those "playing fun is better then anything else" players to use a real Angry Marines army. They are just hilarious anyway you slice it.

Alway's angry! All the time!

Are you going to convert a Commissar Fuklaw?

The only commissar who is so angry, that he couldn't be placed on the frontlines with a Guard army. he had to be placed with the Angry Marines.

I do at some point plan on making a Fuklaw model. Not sure when, but maybe when I do I could whip up a 500 pt Imperial guard army to legally field him alongside Angry Marines. Unless there is another count-as workaround that I could pull off (counts-as HQ in scout armor?). Even so I would still love to convert a model of him!

Army is cool

Couldnt you just add him as an inquisitor rules wise..

I really want to get this army, I just don't though. Is there some kind of online comic strip or orgins of Angry Marines that I can check out to help me understand why this is so funny to everyone else. I hate not being in on the jokes lol.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=angry+marines

A simple yes would've sufficed.
Might have known it would be American in origin, they're always pissed about something or other. Still don't GET them though or see their popularity and will now bow out gracefully from this thread.

Hey! I'm not always pissed...granted, I am now but that's another story.

I made Fuklaw for my 1000 point Angry Marine force, but I just use him as a Chapter Master. I'll post a pic later for inspiration.

I love the middle finger on the dudes backpack. Keep it coming.

This army is made of pure liquid win.

I love the Angry Marines, especially that sergeant with the huge ass chainsword. Perfect brilliance.

Do you think The Hulk could ever make an appearance?? Like just as one terminator, or chaplain

Hah! The Hulk -wishes- he was angry enough to be in here. Really though, he has nightmares about getting a fist full of rusty power corn cob holders in his hole.

beautiful. I am crying with happiness at this army. I am curious as to whether or not you plan to make a predator agrinator (or whatever it is called) as nothing says angry like a space marine with a power sack of doorknobs going mach one into the enemy's face. Speaking of which you do need to make the adamantine sack of power doorknobs. IT is simply required.

yes, I do plan on making a predator Angrinator, but that will be a bit later. also the sack of power doorknobs seems like a good thing to include, but to make it tournament-legal I need to find a worthy count-as rule. maybe I can find something like that in the blood angels codex when it comes out.

Adamantine sack full of power doornobs = Frost weapon.

Predator Angrinator = Whirlwind.

Most logical choices, thats what I do anyways.

I love that drop pod...

The power 2x4 (with nail) kills me.

These are absolutely awesome!

With the Pred, you should have an Angry Marine emerging from the turret-hatch and shaking his fist, or giving the middle finger (cos it'd be pointing in the same direction as the main cannon lol).

also the sack of power doorknobs seems like a good thing to include, but to make it tournament-legal I need to find a worthy count-as rule. maybe I can find something like that in the blood angels codex when it comes out.

thunder hammer. Do a whole unit of TH/SS termies. If you wanted to, you could have their shields be doors without the doorknobs (cause they are obviously in the bag)

4 ThE EmPrAH BWAAHHH

Of all the names of an army , I think this is the best , and after reading the novel Wolf at the door in tales of heresy , they fit right in anywhere amongst their brethren Space Marines ...

Good work , please keep it up ...

YES! I was just thinking about having a squad of assault marines (why I don't yet is beyond me), and the idea of them using doorknob-less doors as stormshields is awesome. I LOVE IT.

Very funny and nice paint work on the army

Knobless doors as shields? Yes please.

I like that you spell "RAEG"

Yeah I liked that too! I can't wait to see what you do next!

Epic chainsaw is Epic . Great job.

Dude those are awesome, my friend just showed me who the angry marines were. When are you gonna post pics of the dreadnaught I bet that's gonna be awesome.

You mean the Belligerent Engine, of course!

Hehehehehe... that was great.

Also, instead of powerfists, you could give them brass knuckles.

And as a close combat weapon, you could give one marine a kitten or puppy which he holds by the tail (or a cow, lol, he's a space marine after all)

ROFL! Fear the Chaplain with his Cowzius Arcanum

I think an angry marine wielding an imperial guardsmen is in order, and perhaps a marine so angry his head sploded. Great work so far, I always love seeing people actually make angry marines. Now if there was some way to model a Gary Busey marine...

I second the idea of someone beating someone else to death with his own leg. As a joke, maybe a Long 'n Angry(Long Fang) could have his leg replaced with his heavy weapon. Actually, maybe the chapter master could have his powah sward attached to the stump of his leg, embeded in someone's back. Maybe instead of Wolf Claws they could have rusty nails instead of fingers. Dems mah thoughts.

Very well done.

I too run an Angry Marines army (Space Marines Codex Legal). Initially I chose them to really annoy certain members of my local gaming group who were overtly obsessed with the fluff of the game. They kept arguing that I'd never be allowed to field them in a tournament because they aren't a real chapter, the morons...so my goal was always a theme that annoys that sort of player, whilst remaining 100% codex legal. I admit though that lately they are becoming closer to Salamanders. I am up to 5,000 points worth of codex legal models, not counting Apocalypse pieces.

I don't have much here to show you unfortunately, as half of my models are still set up at a friends house. But here's a quick (camera phone) snap of what's on my painting table, mostly either old models or misc models which I'm currently rebasing:



Roll call (left to right, front to back):

Captain in Terminator Armour with Chainfist and Storm Bolter - Retired from regular gaming due to points cost

Captain with Combi Melta and Power Sword

Chapter Master with Storm Bolter and Lightning Claw

Chapter Master Ira Bellicus - Counts as Marneus Calgar in Armour of Antilochus)

Rows 2 and 3 are miscellaneous Devestator Models - Retired from regular gaming due to points cost

Assault Terminators with Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields

Miscellaneous Seargants with multiple options

Ignore the Servitors and the Librarian, they aren't very angry right now

I'll try to get some snaps of my vehicles tonight. They are my pride and joy, since I run a fully mechanised army

Needs more RAEG!!!

Nice work man.

I think I found a good model to represent the Angry Marine character "Captain hole" in his dreadnought form. Even though he is all metal it will be an excellent model to use when the new Blood Angels codex comes out. behold, the Furioso Dreadnought!


with all the abilities I have heard this thing has, I am anxious to get this and the Blood Angels codex come April! I am also anxious to paint this guy to be even more angry then my current dreadnought Dirk the Jerk!

in the meantime I will keep grinding away at my current models and my angry marine fleet (too bad I remembered about Captain hole's Battle Barge after buying my ships and building them, but I don't want to have too many Battle Barges!)

Yeah man, run the angry marines as Blood Angels. That way you can use black brothers as well. Afros on marines FTW!

lol at mcfly's post
i love ur army

MMMMMMUUSSST HHAAAVEEE MORRREE REAGE!!!!

Capt lysander would make a great angry marine

0_o

Are you going to use the new Death Company(advance order) for the troops, or just for elites. Maybe you could use the sanguinary guard as pretty marines, due to that in quite a bit of the art ive seen has Angry Marines slaughtering their pretty bretheren. As a matter o fact, it would be funny if that any minis are shown executing somebody, they could be pretty marines so you don't have to worry about fighting different armies. For your bikers they could be shown with dead pretty marines chained to the back of the bike, being dragged across the battle field.

DRIVE ME CLOSER! I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MAH SWORD!!!
Plus, are we going to see Raege anytime soon?

Yeah angry marines are definatley ba. Blcak Raeg anyone?

shouldn't that be Blcak Raeg?

Your right. I'll edit that.

Lol, this is well... FULL OF RAEG!!!

I saw some of the ba codex the other day so I'm thinking they would make excellent Angry marines esp. with the Red Thirst rule and characters like Mephiston and Seth.

Lol This is great!

I plan to make some Angry Marines as well, with lots of Death Company, which would help get more Black Brothers as well.

wwooww

Here are some more random shots of my Angry Marines. Still don't have all of my models here, but I'll try to take a good photo tomorrow.

Photos aren't any better, and I won't show much of my troops (as they are currently all on my modelling table, for an updating of paint jobs and rebasing).

All of my tanks stacked up (old photo, as I have updated the paint jobs on all of these):


My Belligerent Engine (bad language, whilst already rather fuzzy, censored further):


My kitbashed IronClad Dreadnought. Inspired by the "Tombstone" in the recent movie version of Death Race:


4 random troops awaiting touching up. Unfortunately these were modelled for 4th edition's old Chapter Traits system:


My command squad. My (helmeted) veterans all have black helmets with green eyes. The apothecary is missing as I am redoing him from scratch. I'll post him at a future date.


A more recent addition to my army. Chapter Master Ira Bellicus (counts as Marneus Calgar). This was before he was based.


An objective piece I had wanted to create for quite a while. The idea came from here (maybe NSFW!)


An older photo of an epic battle. This one space marine sergeant (I represent sergeants with black shoulder pads) held the flag against these imperial guardsmen for 3 rounds.


Apologies again for the bad quality photos.

Thats whats great about them, how the hell would a REAL adamantium sack even function? No one knows, I guess they are so pissed off, that the sack just works like a sack, because it doesnt want an Angry Marine to form it into a face, so he can then punch it in the face.

Either way, the yellow looks a bit darker then Im used to but overall Im digging your army. These guys are great

I know, I've been longing to create a small force of them, if only my GSing skills were better.

You should paint DILLIGAF on the Dread.

It's turning out well, save for the paintjob. You are using primer right? A lot of the figures just look like they have -really- thick paint. Maybe thin your paints a wee bit and wait longer between each coat?

Otherwise, I like how this is turning out. Can I request an Angry Marine punching his arm down an Ork's throat? Or kicking something so hard in the arse that his foot got stuck?

Gotta agree with metallifan here.

Have you tried the foundation colors yet?

Have you made the guardsman flinging sargant yet?

you need a pillow case of really hard soap in that army somewere

I'm sorry that I've pretty much hijacked this thread from you, Zoolon :(

No nastiness meant, your topic was just convenient. I much prefer the way your army is turning out over mine! In fact, as I'm going back through my troops and fixing things I'm tempted to re-do my chapter insignia like you have done it.

Speaking of troops, here are all of mine currently getting re-based (minus seargants, minus squad formations, and minus two models that are in pieces):



EDIT: Oh, and I've been having a go at doing the marine using an Imperial Guardsman as a CCW. I have found that the pilot that came in the Battle for Macragge box (Lt Varrus?) has his legs posed near perfectly for this. Some hacksawing and greenstuffing of his hands later, and we have this. I have done a false-coloured comparison next to it to help you pick out the details.

VERY WIP:

Huh. I just realized you weren't the OP.

You should start your own thread. If the OP resumes his thread again, great. But don't jack his thread with your own stuff. That doesn't make you look very good.

That said, a few tips on your painting - thin em' down, wait longer between coats so they can dry more thoroughly, and use less paint overall. Your scheme is solid, but it's also thick and obscuring huge amounts of detail. I would suggest you pick up some DOT3 Brake Fluid (Make sure that's what you grab, other stuff will melt the minis!) or Simple Green, strip em, and try again.

What are you talking about, Metallifan? The OP didn't contribute anything at all to his own thread except to cheerlead for the Angry Marines. At least Mr. Pendulum is providing a reason for this thread to be in the modelling forum.

I'm going to assume you didn't read page one. Posts 1 and 28. Not much, but it still makes it a P&M thread.

Thanks for playing

Considering that the Angry Marines are such a fringe army, the one thread is the most logical instead of separate threads.

As I said, the troops are old models. The bulk of them are Battle of Macragge models in fact. They are on my painting table for updating, but as I run a mechanised force not much will happen in this area.

MrPendulum wrote:Considering that the Angry Marines are such a fringe army, the one thread is the most logical instead of separate threads.

I'm sure if the OP wanted people to post their own Angry Marine armies, he would have asked. n_n I'm pretty positive Dakka won't mind if you made your own thread.

i have to say i love the fact that you misspelled Raaeg!

hey folks.

I have been away for awhile working on midterms, and someone hijacks me thread?! RAEG!!!

but seriously, I have been chipping away at my army progress, and I guess I should start taking higher-quality detail pics of my stuff, just to one-up the stuff MrPendulum is posting.
Also, MrPendulum's pic of an imp. guard-wielding Angry Marine is motivating me to make my own version of that! EXPECT SOMETHING WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.

Also I appreciate all the ideas you guys keep generating! I am liking the idea of dragging a Pretty Marine behind a bike. I'll have to hold off on more modeling projects until after I get the Blood Angels codex though.

oh, and as a critique for Mr. Pendulum, your colors do look very thick, and your yellow looks muddier then what mine looks like in the lighting I photographed in. I suggest going back and fixing these up. I suggest using a color like Iyanden Darksun as the base, and drybrush a bright yellow over that. and for the red I used Mechrite red with a drybrush of a bright red over that. And I agree thinning your paints helps ALOT. And finally, I think you need to redo their emblems. it takes a bit of time and practice to paint the emblem, but they just don't have the angry marine feel without this emblem:

Took me a sec to figure out why the paintjob quality had gotten so bad. Glad your back, now let's see some MOAR RAEG!

The emblems don't even have to look clean. They're angry, remember? They'll paint their emblems however the fk they damn well want!

Having a clean, uniformed looking, angry face is just not angry enough. You've got to have shoulderpads with bared teeth, popped middle-fingers, and an indent from something's face being smashed into it

metallifan wrote:

Seconded!
(Yes this was altered)

If anyone hasn't mentioned this before... you should paint orks like that. Now that would look amazing. But I think you made some great models.

Feth that. Orks are too unpissed to be angry marines. Orks actually still have a language beyond cursing. Therefore, not angry enough.

EDIT: You SHOULD, however, paint up a Marine to look like the Hulk in the remains of his Power Armour. The Hulk would certainly fit, as he's so angry he can't kill and talk at the same time

Eh....

I'm not a fan of the mindless troll community that is 4chan, so that biases me quite a bit against this. Likewise I'm not too keen on whole armies built around what is essentially a joke. Thus I have the same views on the "Hello Kitty" armies and the like. It just seems to be a waste of good miniatures and I would never do it.

But to each his own I suppose.

That all being said, kudos on the dedication to the project and the work you've put into it. At least you are painting your figures, which is more than I can say about far too many 40k players I've come into contact with over the years.

Not to sound like a jerk, but what's the point of saying this? If you don't like the source material, there's not much point in commenting on something that isn't in your sense of humor. I mean, I don't like Ultramarine blogs all that much, but I don't go into them just to comment about how I find them boring. It just seems like this is a completely unnecessary post. Besides, it's not your stuff he's using for his army, and no one -is- asking you do do it, so I can't see why it would bother you as much as you say.

I supposed you missed the last paragraph of my post? You know...were I actually praise the guy?

Excuse me for having an opinion that differs from yours, my friend.

TR

I didn't miss the second half, I was just wondering why you bothered to post the completely irrelevant first half when it really wasn't an essential part of the overall message. No need to get your ginch in a knot.

With all due respect, you have no idea when I'm upset. My "ginch" is not "in a knot".

I'm sorry that you took my opinion personally. I also regret that you have somehow missed the fact that every post on a painting thread does not have to be 100% positive.

Ah well.

TR

that argument needs more RAEG!!!!!!!!

but i agree with metallifan, the 1st part was unnecessary.

back on topic. its good to see that your back zoolon!
i cant wait to see it.

yes i agree that the the chapter emblem needs to be messy, cause they are RAEGING!!!!!

No worries. I'm sorry you mistakenly believe I've taken personal offense to your opinion, rather than the fact that it was just posted in a completely irrelevant, sloppy manner that had nothing to actually do with the core of your post, which was...

Thanks for playing, but the prize was -actually- behind Door 3.

hey now guys, settle down.

I have actually been called out before on wasting Space Marines on a joke army, and I understand what you are getting at. To be honest I myself haven't been all that keen to the 4chan community, but I simply think that the Angry Marines are a funny army and they have just been really fun to paint and model. Also I have discovered that the /tg/ board is actually not that bad, you should just avoid /b/! Isn't it half the point to enjoy making your army as much as you enjoy playing with it?

also we don't need just positive comments. In fact, I love criticism just as much as praise, since criticism tells me what I need to work on to improve what I got, and praise is telling me what works!

*gets back to painting assault marines*

Any teasers in regards to future conversions? I'd love to see an Eldar folded in half with it's head stuffed up it's own arse

If you have a land speeder, make sure to model it so that the gunner is leaning out of the vehicle with a chainsword. Drive by decapitation!

Fixed.

metallifan wrote:Any teasers in regards to future conversions?

like I said earlier, I am holding off on current conversions until the new codex comes out, which may give me ideas to add conversions that can have a "count-as" rule applied to it, like how a duel-wielding marine with a middle finger banner in the space wolves rules counted as the Mark of the Wolfen. In the meantime I'll keep plugging away at my painting.

LOL i love that idea Metallifan. and Keep up the work on the Marines, they look great so far.

I have been away for awhile working on midterms, and someone hijacks me thread?! RAEG!!!

but seriously, I have been chipping away at my army progress, and I guess I should start taking higher-quality detail pics of my stuff, just to one-up the stuff MrPendulum is posting.
Also, MrPendulum's pic of an imp. guard-wielding Angry Marine is motivating me to make my own version of that! EXPECT SOMETHING WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.

Oh please one-up me. The world needs more angry marines

Would you prefer if I moved my stuff to another thread? My intention was never to hijack, haha.

oh, and as a critique for Mr. Pendulum, your colors do look very thick, and your yellow looks muddier then what mine looks like in the lighting I photographed in. I suggest going back and fixing these up. I suggest using a color like Iyanden Darksun as the base, and drybrush a bright yellow over that. and for the red I used Mechrite red with a drybrush of a bright red over that. And I agree thinning your paints helps ALOT. And finally, I think you need to redo their emblems. it takes a bit of time and practice to paint the emblem, but they just don't have the angry marine feel without this emblem:

Thanks, I agree whole heartedly. Unfortunately most of my troop were painted 3 or 4 years ago when I was still learning, so their paint job is nowhere near the quality of my more recent paint jobs. Click here to see the last troops I painted, which are not Angry Marine themed at all. (Also see my Sisters of Battle.)

Iyandsen darksun is my colour of choice alright. I paint it down straight over a black primer. Then I go back and paint in the soft armour in black. Blood red for the eyes, skull white mixed with codex grey for the mouth grill. For the shoulder pads, I paint the main surface iyandsen darksun, then paint blood red straight over the top. Moves the colour slightly towards orange, but it remains vibrant. Normally I finish this off with a yellow ink, though lately I have been loving the Badab Black and Bestial Brown washes. 2 parts yellow ink to 1 part badab black to 2 parts water = godlike!

If you don't mind me making one tiny little critique...

In the earliest images of Angry Marines, their left knee pad is painted red. Unfortunately most of these images are now lost (and one of the pictures on 1d4chan incorrectly has it's right knee pad painted red). See the Dreadnought Close Combat Wielding marine in this picture for what I mean:



Other than this, I love your work.

yeah it would be nice if you moved to another thread. I don't mind you posting a sample group shot of what you got though! And since your army is a few years old, I'd also like to see you try repainting some of your angry marines. you can soak your models in some of this stuff for 40+ minutes, or overnight if need be, then scrub the paint off with an old toothbrush you don't plan on using ever again. I'd like to see you try repainting at least a couple models, but still, you can do all this in your own thread.

Iyandsen darksun is my colour of choice alright. I paint it down straight over a black primer. Then I go back and paint in the soft armour in black. Blood red for the eyes, skull white mixed with codex grey for the mouth grill. For the shoulder pads, I paint the main surface iyandsen darksun, then paint blood red straight over the top.

Well firstoff, I don't like the way the white-grey looks. A drybrush of boltgun metal over black looks more like a space marine faceplate. And I admit the ink washes are nice, I am using that on my in-progress Angry Marines battlefleet gothic ships (coming soon!), but it makes it too dark and muddy without a bright yellow to drybrush over that. Angry Marine armor is a BRIGHT yellow, and don't forget that!

In the earliest images of Angry Marines, their left knee pad is painted red.

hmmm, perhaps if I make a veterans squad I will incorporate this into their paint scheme....
I actually like this current scheme I am using, and alot of the artwork I have seen are done in this fashion. but I will have to add that bit of red to some veterans later. Thanks for the idea!

and as of right now I am on spring break, so LOTS of time to paint something to show! *gets back to work*

Nice chainsword, very funny.

THAT.
IS.

Hello everyone.

Sorry I have been away from this forum for so long, but since I graduate from college in December this year I have been caught up working on very important things, even during this past summer. BUT FRET NOT! I have been chipping away at my army, and hopefully I will have 1850 pts of fully painted models to share by the time I graduate, and I'll have a better space to photograph them in. but just so you people don't think I am pulling your leg I will take some quick photos tomorrow to show you where I am at with my army and where I am going with it. Thank you all for your support, hang tight a bit longer, and excuse me while I get to work saving the world.

ALRIGHT, PHOTO TIME!

for starters, here is the Chaplain photo which got pulled last time for all the colorful sailor speak on his scroll, so I blurred that out. if you wanna see what it says AND you are over 18 years of age, you can go to my Flickr account here.


Now the following is ALL in-progress. if you have suggestions for details, conversion-tweaks, or painting let me know.

for starters, all my unfinished infantry. I am painting them assembly-line style so they can all be done at the same time and so I don't have to keep switching paints so often. I currently have the primary and secondary colors added, on to boltgun metal. We also have from left to right in the front Angry James, introducing Angry Donald, and Angry Borris.


Now here we have Angry Dennis and his bike gang. these guys have been on the back burner since I don't have a use for them in my current force, but I will still finish them up and keep them handy until I get more bikes!


And here is some vehicles which I probably won't touch until all infantry and bikes are done. I got them from my brother who is getting rid of his old Chaos army. I got done scraping off all the chaos bits and apoxy conversions, and soon I will put some paint-remover on them. I am still thinking about what to do with these vehicles but here's my ideas:
PREDATOR: put an angry marine sticking out of the hatch brandishing a sword in one hand and a middle finger in the other.
DREADNOUGHT: I'll be modeling him just like Dirk the Jerk, and will replace his stormbolter with a heavy flamer. I still need to come up with a name for him, so any suggestions?
LANDRAIDER: there will be an angry marine with a powerfist punching his way out of the front hatch. also I am still thinking about converting this into a landraider crusader.


AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. A surprise I was saving until later, but here it is:

COME ON BOYS AND GIRLS, SING ALONG!

size comparison


This beast is almost done, all that is left is some black lines for the plating. I would love to field this in an apocalypse game with the Rending Pony rules but I haven't found anyone crazy enough to face it. Oh well, I still wanna make some special objectives for it (giant star blocks, fairies, jumping dolphins, etc).

So there you have it! sorry for my absence, but luckily I found a way to keep making progress on these guys so I can get more done and not let this thread grind to a halt again. if you have any suggestions or critiques, please share!

LOL! I love this army still XD

It's a freaking glow in the dark unicorn!!! That so awesome!!!

ALWAYS I WANNA BE WITH YOU
AND MAKE BELIEVE WITH YOU
AND LIVE IN HARMONY, HARMONY, OH LOVE!

Best. Game. Ever. The soothing sounds of the Robot Unicorn will calm even the Angry Marines! It will cause the Chaos Marines to renounce their pledges to the Dark Gods with sheer goodness! The rainbows will make the Emperor rise again! All glory to the Robot Unicorn!

P.S.

Awesome Angry Marines. Out of all the stuff from /tg/ they have to be my favorite. If I ever see this army at a tournament, I would be hard pressed to stop laughing long enough to actually play the game.

I just can't get over the member of the command squad with the 'fro and the gangsta' pistols. every chapter needs a 'fro marine!

Positive discrimination shirley.

I love the Unicorn and have spent the last couple of hours playing robot unicorn because of you. Is the horse a Wood Elf one. I need to 'Chase My Dreams' and make one for myself.

Grimm wrote:I love the Unicorn and have spent the last couple of hours playing robot unicorn because of you. Is the horse a Wood Elf one. I need to 'Chase My Dreams' and make one for myself.

your welcome. Also good eye, I did use the wood elf horse for this, and I just shaved off things like the saddle and plating on the legs, and I modified the head so the mouth was closed. I also used the green stuff apoxy for the hair and the horn.

but the funny thing is that I wanna make a new unicorn, since Adult Swim just released a new version of Robot Unicorn Attack and that unicorn looks fun to model!

Thats awesome XD.
I have always wanted to face a Angry marine army in battle.

YOU LIVE!
Yisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I never thought I'd see the day when an angry marines army made it! My Tau would be honoured to fight along side them. Now where did I put those close combat weapons... Oh wait, tau player...

Hello again folks, just finished the plating details on the Robot Unicorn.

take a gander:




and just because:


Now I will have to tweak the Rending Pony rules and make it at least beatable, and keep plugging away at the rest of my army.
more to come, and have a Happy Halloween!

OH GOD MY EARS!! It was like Chaos itself was whispering to me.....

Why is there an icon of Slaanesh on my wall now? ...Why are they oozing pus? Dear, Emperor what have you DONE!?


But yes, awesome Robot Unicorn. Which Codex were you using for your Angry Marines again? If it's Space Wolves I would totally play the Unicorn as a Fenrisian Wolf.

ChrisWWII wrote:Which Codex were you using for your Angry Marines again? If it's Space Wolves I would totally play the Unicorn as a Fenrisian Wolf.

I was using the Space Wolves Codex, and I still use it for kill teams, but I now use the Blood Angels codex, since that is a better representation of the Angry Marines (I mean come on, Death Company. and the fact that most squads have a chance to go into a state of blind rage [the red thirst]).

besides, there is already rules I can use, but I just need to tweak those so you can actually defeat it in a game.

Ahhhh, alright then. That does work out quite well, especially with the Angry Marines' fluff.

And...oh my, I just read the rules for rending pony. And yeah....but given the sheer level of awesomeness present in the Robot Unicorn, I would call it far and balanced as is.

ChrisWWII wrote:Ahhhh, alright then. That does work out quite well, especially with the Angry Marines' fluff.

And...oh my, I just read the rules for rending pony. And yeah....but given the sheer level of awesomeness present in the Robot Unicorn, I would call it far and balanced as is.

-"Rending Pony may re-roll any to-wound rolls that are not 6 until they are 6", which means auto rend, all the time. I'd make it one re-roll, and the second result stays even if it is worse.
-"...Rending Pony may re-roll any failed save attempts", which to me reads as "re-roll until you pass." I'd make the wording clearer, or replace it with a "feel-no-pain" rule.

besides, the rending pony is a near-invincible killing machine, where the robot unicorn dies from simply crashing into a wall or forgetting to PRESS X TO DASH! I'd still like to play-test the unicorn to see if I need to tweak anything else for balancing's sake.

That kinda reminds me of the time my local GW ran a game which featured a reincarnated version of Horus (don't ask). He also kinda was a near invincible killing machine, and they kinda (ish) balanced by having him lose a point of toughness each turn he was on the table, hence he got easier to kill as time got on. Of course, I don't think he started off at T10....but maybe that could help with making rending pony a bit more balanced?

I'm almost tempted to say put in a rule where if Rending Pony does not kill a vehicle in assault then, it suffers ID because it forgot to press x to dash, and thus crashed and died. Tempted, but not gonna because that would be a very very silly type of thing to put in....

I've come up with some more posiible dread names: Dan the Douche, Brian the Bastard, Peter the pissed, Harry the horrible. (did I get that from somewhere?)
BTW, I love the unicorn. A suggestion though, have you ever considered taking a hobby nife and actually engrave in some armour plates?

I just love these guys

That last pic made me lol so much, especially the chaplain.

Was just thinking that the belligerent engine needs an addition or two:

Kinda always made sense as a logical conversion for the Angry Marines if you ask me... not sure how it'd work out as I can't convert for the life of me but you might be able to pull this off.... just some thoughts

Also what about adding a squad of Sisters of Battle into the army? There's a certain picture I'm sure you've come across of some ladies with attitude and thought they'd be a perfect fit in any Angry Marine army.

yeah I've seen it, I assume you mean this image:

In response, I don't think so, since this is an Angry Marine's army, not a sisters of anger army. (and I don't think this image or concept is very good, and neither do the folks at 1d4Chan [once again, NSFW] ) Not to mention that it's not as funny when you throw in Rule 63 into the mix. So no, you won't see any Sisters of Anger from me, I'm keeping this a MAN'S CLUB, the way it was meant to be!

Yup, that one. And ah well it was just a thought Your army . And I still gotta look up those danged rules.

Hey folks, sorry about the hiatus. I was a bit busy finishing college and finding a job. BUT now that is done I am back at work on this project!
And as an apology for being away for so long, here's a predator I finished over memorial weekend:





^to see this image uncensored, go to my Flickr page here.^




Up next I am finishing up my Assault Terminator squad, and then I will be working on the big dude himself, Temperus Maximus.

And as a last note, this thread may go dormant for big periods, but it will NEVER be dead! I will see this project to completion!

Grrrr! Arrrrgggg! For the EmporEEEERRRRRRRR!

hmmm, is anyone else having issues seeing those tank images, or is it just me?

Yup ALL your pic links are dead

Why are they just so damn ANGRY! haha.

well shucks, don't know why that is acting up now, since that is how I have posted the other images. I'll have to fix those links soon.

But yeah, I would love to make a predator Angrinator! I am holding off on that until I finish off my terminators and new drop pods, and after I acquire a Stormraven.

I am also playing with the idea of eventually trading out this predator with a vindicator, modeled after the fabled Killdozer:


complete with rubble an' whatnot. But, you know, with the addition of a Demolisher cannon.
