Hello Dakka!

I am planning an "all Sternguard" army utilizing Pedro Cantor. With some Vanguard Fast Attack. All the models in the army will come from different chapters. Yeah, 50+ different paint schemes I hope. Modeled it on the idea of the DeathWatch seconded to an Inquisitor or maybe a specialized Kill Team force. No Devastators, No actual Tacticals.. all Troops would be Sternguard. Very "Pricey" army with a low model count. I do not expect to win games with this, it would be done for "coolness" purposes. Scout Snipers will be the only "Official" Troops.

I am also TOTALLY aware that this is not "Deathwatch" as per official Fluff.. this is just my take on having an army of guys that looks VERY nifty on the tabletop.

Having dreamed THAT up, I decided I would be post this volunteer request. I am looking for folks to voluntarily paint me 1 marine, no basing. I could mail them a assembled Marine, and they would paint and lightly seal it. They would mail it back to me.. I would add a special shoulderpad to the model, and base it to be coherent with the rest of the force. I would also put the person who painted it as "Brother XXX" on the base. Like, Brother Gerry or Brother Fredette. I also will provide a shipping label and some cash to assist with mailing costs, should you wish. This is LIMITED TO THE USA. If you are outside the USA, and want to volunteer for this, PM me and we can talk.

So, to this end, I have now made up about a bunch of Sternguard types and some Vanguard Assault dudes and am working on finalizing the remainder of the models.

I am looking for "Codex" schemes at this time ONLY. Having said that, if you have a killer personal chapter who might like to join my team, I would certainly look at pictures and make a decision. Otherwise, I would like the paint to as closely match the 40kLexicanum link below each Chapter as possible. If you want to paint the base, please paint it ONLY the color of GW Bestial Brown.

Ideally I would like folks who already have a SM force in this paint scheme to claim a model.. going on the theory that an Imperial Fist player has experience painting IF, for example. I also would be willing to let 2 models go to a single person if they can do 2 schemes..

And.. any models you would be painting for me, I WILL be putting up here in this thread to show off!

Currently some chapters are spoken for, and the currently available list is this....


Sternguard-esque (all models are armed with basic bolters at this time, unless noted otherwise) (some models may need to be assembled unless you want me to do so ahead of time)

Got all!

And for the Vanguard types..

Got All!

and.. since I may end up playing these guys as vanilla marines once in a while, a Command Squad arises

Space Wolf

Already spoken for chapters that are "in process"-
Raven Guard
Guardians of the Covenant
Flesh Tearers
Knights of Gryphonne
White Minotaurs
Minotaurs
Imperial Fists

Chapters already received back..
Ultramarines
Blood Angels
Blood Drinkers
White Templars
Warmongers
Imperial Paladins
Fire Lords
Angels Porphyr
Black Templars
Howling Griffons
Blood Ravens
Silver Skulls
Celestial Lions
Angels Sanguine
Dark Angels
Mortificators
Doom Eagles
Salamanders
White Scars
Invaders
Iron Snakes
Sons of Orar
Angels Encarmine
Storm Wardens
Angels of Iron
Red Scorpions
Brazen Claws
Marines Malevolent
Iron Hands
Iron Fists
Star Dragons
Exorcists
Crimson Fists
Novamarines

Also, if anyone is willing to provide a model for a chapter not already listed above, and paint it, I would love that! My main request in that case would be that the models RIGHT shoulderpad, the one where squad markings would normally go, be NOT on the model. I have special DW shoulderpads from Chapterhouse I will be using on the model, and would have to have to bust a pad off your model to put mine on. Also, no basing beyond a black or brown flat color, and the model NEEDS to have a Helmet. No Bare Faces.

Lastly, I have one squad of Scout Snipers needing to be painted up. It is a squad of 6 models, with a Heavy Bolter.

At THIS point, the only models I need from other chapters and painters as donations, are VANGUARD models. I would need them with a Jump Pack, and Vanguard assault weaponry.. OR (big stretch) Combi-melta or Combi-flamer Marines.

Lastly, I need BOLD paint schemes.. nothing done with washes, or artfully done damage. I want these guys to look like they just got out of refurbishment. Not glossy and shiney, but crisp paint.

So having waded thru all that stuff, if anyone is interested in helping out with this wacky idea, send me a PM!

final note - I am actively looking for Games Workshop Old Metal Shoulderpads with Icons from the Aurora Chapter. (need 2)

Here are some pictures of currently painted up "Sternguard" models.

Imp522 from Bartertown -

Brother Hesse - Warmongers





InquisitorLewis from Bartertown-

Brother Elias - Ultramarines





whalemusic360 did

Brother Fuellner - Blood Drinkers





my contribution...

Brother Marlowe - Omega Marines





gbprime did

Brother Glenn - Distant Sons





and a from my 40kOrigins group

Brother Shuman - Star Fox chapter

If you want me to do a second guy, send me the silver skull, iron snake, or red wolf with the Get and I'll do him up. I'm also up for doing one of those purple guys (storm lords?), but I'm not good enough to do the freehand.

Figure out anything to do with those extra pads?

I might send you the Skull Bearer, if you are good with yellow.. the extra pads, may not get used.. the Warmonger above was the only chapter I could find that uses a sword thru a skull..

Mortifactors look entertaining... I'd do one of those.

I'll paint you a wicked Imperial Fist Brother, and if not that then a Novamarine or a Howling Griffon, I'll post a few Pics in my gallery today of some of my fists so you can get an idea. I like this project great community effort!

Heinrich - I would probably take you up on the Novamarine.. do you have a shoulderpad with the chapter symbol, or would you be freehanding? And.. do you need a Marine?

Gitsplitta - sent you a PM..

I could use a Marine, I'll PM you my address, and I would most likely end up freehanding it, I'll put an example of my free-handing to ease any worries you might have I can do an additional chapter as well, I've got some free time and I've always wanted to explore some of the more radical chapter schemes out there.

Agh, wow, gbprime's the only one who did a good job :-/

Oh, THATS a helpful comment.. sheesh.

They look FINE to me in person.. perhaps its my camera skills..

Please don't comment on other people's paint skills that are doing a nice thing for me.. I appreciate their efforts, even if you don't.

as for the Novamarine, I'll probably GS his chapter Iconography. additionally I was wondering if you had a Flesh tearer vanguard spoken for yet?

I'd be up for doing a Salamander if you don't mind the fact that I'm an unknown quantity (have no pictures of my paintjobs up!) Also I'm in Japan at the moment so that might make things awkward (feel free to tell me to p155 off!)

sent you a PM jackanory.. no need to get lost.. lol

I suck with yellow and am so-so with whites. Anything else I'm game for.

Though my experiance with yellow is a massive 2 helmets for my assault marines, havent messed with it much.

What an amazing idea and concept. Im fully in. Me and Brother Heinrich are roomates for address purposes. I will gladly do a Iron Hands, Mortifactors, or Flesh Tearer, Marine for you. Brother Heinrich can attest to my skills with a brush. Though Im not as good as him I can make you one amazing marine. lol.

If you can send me a marine with the chapter you want (or two) and me and Brother Heinrich can make you some Deathwatch you'll be proud of.

Remember just use Brother Heinrich's address and really I'll do any chapter you need but would preffer ther 3 posted above.

Again great idea and fun way to bring the forum together.

Dang, you're having better luck at just getting people to paint then trading! Army should turn out very cool indeed.

If you'd be prepared to send me a Salamander Marine across the pond I would be more than happy to paint and convert it into a sergeant or melta/flamer marine. I could give the marine a dragon head back pack (converted from SM backpack and chaos lascannon lizard heads).

I'll PM you to see if we could sort something out. It would have to be in three weeks time because I'll be away from my computer for that length of time.

You can check out my P&M blog to see the standard of my work.

I am down to just a few "pre-built" marines.. however, I still am looking for homebrew chapters that a painter can send me a model to represent.. even from overseas!

However, my stock of parts on hand has depeleted to the point where I just have the 6 guys above left (and 2 of those are still in progress)..

Anyone willing to donate some SM legs?? (grin)

If you want, I can try to paint a DIY chapter of my own origin. It would give me the chance to paint some guys, would you just need a tactical marine?

porkuslime wrote:Anyone willing to donate some SM legs?? (grin)

I have a spare pair of Space Marine legs which I'll send to America with a painted Salamander . However, I can't participate until August 16th at the earliest as I am on holiday right now and I'm a few hundred miles away from my home address.

I would love to help on your Adventure through time and Space (Marines)...

PM'd

OK, this sounds like a laugh I'm willing to donate a Bloodfist, check my imperial thread for details, note that in my fluff vets wear robes/loinclothes/capes/tabards etc. or you could have a standard marine if wanted. I'll provide model if you let me know what sort of load-out you want. As long as you're not desperate for him in the next couple of days - I'm pretty slow with painting. I'll send a PM.

Well. I could send you a Sergeant! I am pretty damn sure the Storm Crusaders need Representation! Either that or you paint it XD.

Asherian, I sent you a PM..

For anyone else looking.. I am down to accepting only Vanguard Vets with Jump Packs and Assault Weaponry as donations.. regular Sternguard I think I have maxed out on.

Also now settled on older metal Scouts with Sniper Rifles to field compulsory troop choices.. unless someone can suggest fluffier ideas for my Troops..

I don't really want to use basic Marines for my troops.. as I think it would be REALLY confusing. Doin the whole "counts as Sternguard" for the project kinda eliminates that as an option.

And some new recruits for the Inquisition..

Ironhide (Moderator on Bartertown) has dispatched

Brother-Sergeant Eisenfell - Crimson Paladins





Jin (Illustrious Dakka Swap Shop Mod) equipped

Brother Jin - Imperial Paladins





Redbeard (Dakka Moderator) presents

Brother Redbeard - White Templars

Those are all three very nice looking. Ironhide is on here as well btw. I love the TF guy. I really want to steal this idea when your done with it Pork, your getting some great responces from it. Feel free to nudge them into the GMS

I love this thread, great pics and models to everyone

I will mention it WM.. I put Ironhide as a BT staffer as that is how my initial contact with him for this project started. Which is the "TF" guy?

And one more model, this one I got a week ago, but until last night, he refused to stay in focus for my camera..

B_Steele painted for me..

Brother Steele - Blood Angels

Ironhide's guy is the TF guy, based off of Ironhide.

Aha.... I was thinking you were shortening a chapter name..

Since I am limited in my Transformer knowledge, I bow to you.

(and your avatar)

Damn. Outdone by Redbeard and Brother Steele. .


You're starting to amass quite a collection there, porkuslime! Can't wait to see these guys en masse

Wow! These are so cool!!!! What an awesome idea

Fantastic concept. Have the Community do the Painting for you. I need to steal that one.

Volunteer Painted, you say? I didn't think there would be as enthusiastic a response as this!

Anyway, real nice. Give us an Army Shot!

Edit: Hold on, I could do a UK Version of this.

At the moment, there is only 2 Vanguard and 5-6 Sternguard in my hand..

Trust me .. when the total gets up there to field, I will be doing squad shots.

I thought long and hard about giving SGT Eisenfell two blue squares on his chest plate, but then thought that would be going overboard with it.

Yeah that woulda been a bit much. If you want to do another marine for someone else, send me a PM and we can work something out. I couldnt pass up a good TF marine, to much awsome in one!

More pictures!

iPAINTminis over on Bartertown took on 6 models for this project.. initially asked for 2, but it just kept growing!

Brother Jeramiah - Black Templars





Brother Josiah - Howling Griffons





Brother Collazo - Templars Omega





and

Brother Sergeant Jerez - Angels Porphyr





He also painted my 2 Headquarters choices..

Inquisitor Spielman - Librarian - seconded over from the Order of St. Ursula (same color as my Sisters of Battle army)





and my commander...

Detachment Commander Peter Singer - Fire Lords (Counts-as Chapter Master Pedro Kantor)







Once again, I MUST give huge props to the Chapterhouse Studios guys.. without their line of shoulderpads, this project would not have even gotten started!

So far, I have used their pads on the Howling Griffons, Fire Lords, Star Fox, and Blood Drinker marines, plus several other chapters that are out being worked on now.

I always loved that robed figure with the power sword. Those look really nice Porks, he did a good job on them.

Are you still looking for Vanguard models? I'd love to paint up a Vanguard Veteran in my Chapter's colors and send it to you. Would have preferences on wargear?

I am still looking.. and I will send ya a PM

I have the stats posted on my blog (See sig for link)

Bloodfist jump-packer will be shipping out on Tuesday for you Porkuslime. Looking forward to some group shots when you have squads sorted out. And I'm sure this has been said before, but excellent project

So far my Fav is Brother Jin, but I really like the gun that Brother Jeramiah has, where did you get that chain\gun from?

Brother Jeremia reminds me of mr. T pretty cool idea!

Kung Fu Jim wrote:So far my Fav is Brother Jin, but I really like the gun that Brother Jeramiah has, where did you get that chain\gun from?

That is a Bolter from the Black Templar upgrade sprue. Brother Collazo also has one from that sprue as well. BT bolt guns and chainswords ALSO have chains.. they look really snazzy.

Thanks everyone!

Shirokuma (Bartertown member) has contributed a Vanguard Squad-ian.

Brother Shirokuma - Oath Keepers






and.. here is a group shot of Squad Eisenfell, mostly the way I intend to run them..

New pics up, and I have started a thread about what codex to use..

Sageheart painted..

Brother Keenan - Sons of Talitha

More goodies came in the mail!

stnyhan (member of Bartertown) has done

Brother Zach - Dark Angels





Brother Connor - Blood Ravens





and ...

Mr Anonymous (a painter who donated services anonymously) provided...

Brother Kaz - Celestial Lions





more to come when they come in!

Hey PM me if you want an angels renascent vanguard (I try to match the golden demon in terms of icons and color scheme) I would sooo love to do that...perfect excuse to make a whole squad! XD

I'm going back to my normal residence tommorow, and I'll be painting your marines (Salamander Vanguard and Star Dragon Apothecary) for a few hours solid. so expect the marine to be arriving later in the week.

My brother has declined to paint the Star Dragon (because he doesn't think that he can paint the details on the model accurately enough) so it will also be painted by me, it can be called Apothecary Cal and the vanguard can be Brother Storm.

More goodies arrived in the mail!

monkeytroll here on DD, provided a homebrew chapter

Brother Sergeant Zac - Bloodfist Chapter





WingZ has done

Brother Sean - Angels Sanguine





and illustrious Bartertown Moderator Imp522 did 2 more models for me with a Skull Motif..

Brother Atreus - Silver Skulls




(sorry for the blur)

and..

Brother Malik - Crimson Skulls





and for those who have asked.. the day is coming soon when the forces of Inquisitor Speilman will take the field against the foe! Now that I have enough Elites and HQ to make up the bulk of the force, I need to finish the Troops.. which is a bit harder to find volunteers for.. lol. At the moment, I think I have 28 completed figures in the army...

I will be doing a proper battle report, but I don't want to have to field bare metal or plastic Scout Sniper units..

-Porkuslime

Cool man, I'll finish that objective marker up right quick so I can send you your Mortifactor in time to join his brethren in battle!

Brother Zac is deeply honoured by his promotion to brother sergeant and pledges to serve his new master as best he can

Thanks for the compliments you sent, and yes if I recall correctly it was a TH arm, possibly from the SW as I seem to have a wolf shaped hammer head floating about.

Must say I'm impressed that you already have nearly 30 models voluntarily built and painted by various peeps, outstanding work by all

if no one's done flesh tearers i can do it

Id love to do the Red Wolves, if that is available. OR.. if you just need ordinary troops. Whatever! Hit me up..

Wolf Lord Kejl

Update!

More recruits have arrived.. both from Overseas and from Wisconsin....

Gathering Storm has sent along.. (and I LOVE the backpack.. )

Brother Katai'gida - Salamanders





and..

Gitsplitta has done for me..

Brother Artorius - Mortificators





and... (if ya know who I mean... ) Let's all give a big hand for..

Thing1 !!!!! He was able to paint for the team..

Brother Kaytaan - Doom Eagles

This is a great idea! not only will you have loads of unique chapters, but they will all have cool poses! When I have a marine spare I will send you one!

If you can Pork can you give us a run down of the chapters you have and sort them into some kind of squads so we can see what to send. Alternatively just let me know what you need and I'll try and get one done up for you.

Really really cool idea. I liike the way you have vol. contributors. awsome

I can and will here in a few, Lenny.. but for the moment, I think I am keeping a decent list of what is done in the 1st post in the thread..

Hey I would be wiling to paint the Flesh Tearers marine if you can send him un-assembled. PM me if you are interested.

Want an Iron Hand?

Glad you like the backpack. Looking forward to seeing more of the contributions to your army.

You don't ask for much do you from your donations, lol. Let me see what I can do. If try a few practice pads and if any of them actually resemble anything I'll let you know.

Cool idea! I may have to see if I can send somebody your way for this project too!

Hey, I'd like to join your quest, and send you a Storm Warden.

--Brian

hungrygp - troops in this case mean Sniper Scouts.. all the marines in this force will either be Sternguard or Vanguard.. the basic troops will be the "inquisitional" bodies.

As for the Lion Warriors.. would you be freehanding it, or do you want a similar pad that I got from BLACKHAND to use?

briancj - I have someone already taking on a Storm Warden... sorry.. I will add it to the list of pending guys.. I have updated the current list in the first post to reflect what I have already made up and can mail out..

IceAngel - I would love to have one of your guys... send me a PM and I can talk to you about it!

I was gonna go with sculpting the lion's head chapter badge shown in the link. I can do the pad and post a pic for you to check out before I paint up the marine if you'd like.

Would you like a pre-fall Soul Drinker?

Well, let me know if there's anything I can do.

I really like this army, i love the idea and the way it has been done, looking forward to seeing it finished

If you want an salamander I'd love to swap with you

Have any spare Ravenguard pads? I can do A Hawk Lord for ya if so.

WM - nope.. no spare Raven Guard pads.. actually Alpharius is taking on that marine. If I can score one or 2 extras, you betcha I will hit you up for a Hawk Lord..

Gretar - I already have a Salamander, thanks to Gathering Storm.. and since I don't wish to duplicate chapters, I must pass.

hungrygp - By all means sculpt up a pad! I would love to see what you can do, and will take one of those Lions indeed.. would it be a basic bolter marine, or do you think you can jazz him up a smidgen?

briancj - if you have a hankering to take on a Star Dragon, Exorcist, Iron Fist, Subjugator, Dark Hands or Flesh Tearer, I have those built and ready to mail out..

porkuslime wrote:

I was thinking basic bolter, but that's what I thought you were looking for more of. How jazzy you want him?

Combi weapon? Or.. Jump packer with chainsword and pistol?

I have oodles of basic bolter guys now, and am looking for the combi-weapons to make the sternguard truly wicked..

porkuslime wrote:briancj - if you have a hankering to take on a Star Dragon, Exorcist, Iron Fist, Subjugator, Dark Hands or Flesh Tearer, I have those built and ready to mail out..

I think I'd like to take on Iron Fist and/or a Star Dragon.

--B.

Hmm, combi-weapons is something I actually don't have lying around, so jumper with chainsword it is Plasma pistol or bolt?

And I'll have to warn you, you may get a couple based on the awesomeness of this theme.

I can use either.. I would PREFER to get just a bolt pistol, but if you are doing multiple models from multiple chapters, then one can have plasma..

remember to leave the right arm shoulderpad off the model, and the jump pack needs to be detachable so I can put my pad on.. Some of the incoming Vanguards I had to carefully cut the pack off to fit the pad on, and re-glue. I would hate to have to do that.. every time I do I cringe in case I scrape the paint..

Imp522 Bartertown Mod par excellence... has whipped up

Sergeant Abrastos and Sniper Squad 6..

url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/147879-Sniper%20Squad%206.html][/url]

I'm still working on th4 that was sent to me, progress is slow seeing as how I'm simultaneously building and sculpting space wolves along with also painting them.

I'm confused by this.

If this has already been pointed out forgive me, your army is supposed to be a Deathwatch force yet none of your marines are actually painted in the Deathwatch paint scheme. They have all retained the colors of their chapters they just have a Deathwatch shoulder guard which according to fluff means that they have served in the Deathwatch and have since then returned to their chapter?

If this is another part of the army that's un fluffy that's fine. I have my own Deathwatch army using the SM codex despite what everyone says that Deathwatch woulden't form an actual army so I get where you're coming from on that. I just don't get why they aren't painted as Deathwatch if that's what they're supposed to be?

My fluff is that these guys are all DW veterans, and have been seconded to Inquisitor Speilman and his =I= strike force. Inquisitor Speilman is a bit more liberal in his thinking and counter to standard DW colors, has generously allowed his DW members to retain their origin color schemes, with just the DW pad to show what they are up to at the moment.

Out of fluff... I wanted to have a visually distinct and different army .. sort of my own Codex Astartes gallery. It is much easier to do the black and silver official DW scheme than this.. but I enjoy being different. Plus, for this army, EACH model has his own story and name.. which allows me to grab a figure, and say..

"Oh, this marine, the Mortificator? He was painted for me by my pal Gitsplitta off DakkaDakka.. great website.. you should visit it.. "

SENDING ME AND BROTHER HENRIECHS TODAY! by the emperor they are coming!

Mine- Iron Hand vangaurd veteran

Laughing God's contribution -

Brother Palmeson - Iron Hands

Brother Heinrich - Marines Malevolent





and

Artsoldier35 presents

Brother Trinitas - Brazen Claws

Excellent! Looks great across the board.

I kinda want to send you one of my marines. But they are unpainted :(

Sorry for the delay, been swamped with work.
I've started them though

Exorcist is on his way. Hope you like him!!!

.....Want a Soul Drinker?

Matrim, while I WOULD like a Soul Drinker, abnd I appreciate the offer, I think that they are a little on the "outcast and persecuted" side of things, and would not fit well with the army idea. Gitsplitta offered me one of his Mantis Warriors and I declined for the same reason..

No probs! - saves me shipping to the USA!

seriously i can send you a flesh tearer if you want

I think the MW are a bit safer, as they have been officially forgiven. The SD I cant see though.

@ Matrim - I just started SD, any pointers? See the GMS or my gallery for some examples.

I'm already on the flesh tearer model
He's gonna get real gritty ^^,

Do you want a Storm Crusader?

More Marines!

Briancj here on Dakka has done..

Brother Scapulare - Iron Fists





as well as the Medic (should I field this army without Pedro Cantor (Peter Singer))

Apothecary Contingo - Star Dragons





Commander Cain also did up my Marine Champion..

Brother Champion Cayne - Exorcists

Glad to see that Cayne is all based and painted. Hope you like him

My photography skills are not the equal to the paint on these models.. Cayne really looks sharp in person.. my spouse commented on the lines and highlights..

Yeah, they took a long time to do. It was worth the extra effort though.

Yeah the hightlights are great CC.

Nice to see that you've painted the Apothecary. Great choice of head and I like the shoulder pad.

Was it okay to paint even with the pose I gave it? I was worried that some of the belt details would have been a pain to apply paint to.

I would have loved to contribute to this, shame im in the UK. Loving all the marines!

Oh.. you can! Gathering Storm, Muller, and a few others across the Atlantic have helped out with this!

Send me a PM and we can talk about what you can do and what I need..

No, it was fine to paint, a lot of fun, actually.

I'm glad that you enjoyed painting it Brian. It was my first attempt at posing a Space Marine. You did a great job and the white is nice and crisp.

i definately want in on this! am gonna PM you for help.

Looking forward to my marine arriving in the post, so that I can contribute too. This is a great idea!

Hey Porkuslime, been a long time! Glad to see the deathwatch army is still going great guns! Those last 3 additions look great!

Is there a chapter that you are still looking for?

There are a couple I am still looking for, yes.. most of those are waiting for me to get some Mentor Legion shoulderpads, (need 4) as well as FW Raven Guard shoulderpads (need 3).. which will allow me to do Raven Guard, Hawk Lords, Mentor Legion, White Consuls, and a couple others.

The ONLY miniature I have right now that is available for me to mail out to someone is the Space Wolf chapter, and he is part of my "command squad" and I need a SW backpack to finish him.

i would trade you another model if you would like of another chapter, either one of my other DIY chapters, or a chapter of your choosing!

Forsaken Poptart from Bartertown has sent along..

Brother Po'ptar't from the Angels of Might

porkuslime - i was looking through your gallery and at all the volunteered marines, it's a really cool project. By now you must have quite a few points worth of marines, how many are you up to? Do you have an army wide photo of them all?

Why yes, I just took shots last week..

As far as total point value, I haven't quite gotten it totalled up yet.. it is over 2000 thanks to the Vanguards.. and I keep adding more models, so the points keep fluctuating..

Here is an Army Shot as of 10 days ago..

Scout Sniper Squad Reiper (heavy bolter)



Scout Sniper Squad Abrastos (missile launcher)



Scout Sniper Squad Clancy (missile launcher)



Scout Sniper Squad Hewano (heavy bolter)

Sternguard Squad Eisenfell - 5 combimeltas and the Brother Sarge has a Power Sword..



Sternguard Squad Jerez - 2 combimeltas, a combi-flamer, and the Brother Sarge has a Power Fist.



Sternguard Squad "Sargeant to be promoted later" - 2 Combimeltas, 1 Combiflamer .. no sarge yet (still awaiting a certain Dakka Mod to send him!) - as well as a Rhino with custom =I= panels..



Vanguard Squad Dobson - 4 power weapons, 2 chainswords..



Vanguard Squad Zac - 3 power weapons, 2 chainswords



Vanguard Squad Grym - 2 power weapons, 2 chainswords, 1 power fist.

Wow... if you ever decide to do homebrew chapters, I'd be more than willing to contribute. Check the link in my sig if you want to check them out.
