Marvel villian inspired Space Marines? Im all there dude!
Okay, let's get going:

- I like the fact that you actually painted a pattern on the Marine, instead of just painting the different parts of his armor, the stripes on the legs are a really nice touch.

- A Space Marine army without any Aquillas sounds like a lot of work, but it's certainly an interesting start.

- I'm not sure about the chest atm. Is it supposed to be cloth or armor, it's hard to tell.

- You should really get your hands on the Sanguine Guard. Apart from the breast plates they have tons of great looking CC weapons, which btw, is also the reason why you should check out the Death Company box. I imagine this will be a very close combat oriented chapter, so you should go all out with that.
Also, you'll end up with a bunch of very dynamic leg pieces.

-Don't attach non-wargaming pictures, just insert hem like this:


- Is this gonna be Sabretooth only, or are you going to add a few more Brotherhood characters for fun? A Magneto Librarian perhaps.

- The lion on the shoulder is a really nice piece, you should try to get your hands on more of those and just put them on shoulder pads.

You know you want to....

You could model your scouts to look like Ultimate Sabretooth:

Interesting. But I'll wait for you to paint it to give a final comment on this.

@Anung un Rama - Ok that was worrying, I have a feeling that this is going to be Tervi Spider legs all over again

Did you change them yet?

No, they're not.


On topic: I like the model. The chest piece really makes it works. It's very Sabretooth-ish.
I'm not convinced by the helmet though, the head looks too big for the helmet to work. Still waiting for the head on a shoulder pad.

If you're going with the pelt thing, you should still try to put it a bit, well, tighter, over the head. Right now it looks like he's wearing it like a cap, but it makes more sense now.

I like the shoulder pad.

Names, hmm...what's wrong with Sabretooth Marines?
How about:
- The Sabre Lions
- The Sabre Cats (hoooooooo)
- The Sabre Teeth

Also, I assume your chapter master will be some sort of tactical genius

I'm not really convinced by the symbol. It just looks odd, though I can't quite put my finger on why that is.

If I didn't know what it's supposed to be, I wouldn't recognize it.

The Thundercats Logo as chapter symbol? Now that would be ballsy

BLACKHAND wrote:... and no I won't be using the thundercat symbol

You sure? Because it sounds like a realy good idea

Looking at your current work, I think a good start would be to change the eye, so it looked more angry/evil. If that sounded strange, compare these two Transformer Logos:

You know you can't add allied Marines once you field Grey Knights, right?

Looks good. Dynamic pose and all that.

Scents-the-wind looks nice. The colors and the toros work really well together. He could use some fur or pelt or wahtever on a shoulder.
Though I have to ask, wouldn't he be able to sense the wind much better without the helmet on? Sorry to bring this up so late in production, but it'll probably be one of those things I'll keep nagging you about.

btw, when are going to change the legs on your Tervigon?

The Wolven, Sabre, whatever looks good so far.

I'm not convinced. I can accept that he can smell stuff through his helmet but it loses a lot of character imo.

And change the legs on the Tervigon while you're at it.

Nope. The Alkemy minis are mostly one piece minis.

Have you considered using scout arms on this guy?

Yay, Deadpool! This thread wins!

The vindicare pose really fit's the character. He could use a little more detail though. Try to make all the skulls on the model into the Deadpool Logo. You know, like the one on his belt buckle.



I would also paint the belts brown to get a little more color on the model. And let me know if you find Katanas in the right scale.

Tell me about it. I need a whole bunch for my Mordhiem Gang not to mention the fact that I would really like to see said Confrontation Goblins in that gang as well.

Not to mention my stil very wip Turtle model. ^^

The shoulders look grrrrreat! No, seriously, they look really cool.

I post when I feel the need to. Speaking of which...

SCIENCE!!!

I think the head works. Overall a good looking model.

@brummieD - I find the sanguinary guard are a bit too ornate for the tribal theme I'm going for.

I see what you did there.

Nice work BH, they look really cool. Imo they could use a little more color though. Maybe some red markings or something like that.

Out of the 5 names I like Sabre Legion the best, but they're not really a legion, are they? ^^

That's one awesome Avatar ghosty.

I already made a Creed joke in this thread guys. Move along.

Suddenly, The Lion King makes so much more sense...

TyraelVladinhurst wrote:how about the Sabre Wolves? kind of has a nice ring to it and as you are basing them of the space wolf codex it also fits. Though barring that how about Sabre Warriors?

Sabre Wolves? Like this guy?

Don't forget to drill out the guns.

Also, I'm not sure if you want to go with two lionhead shoulderpads. Isn't the other shoulder pad for squad markings?

Oh, I'm here alright, but somehow the OT-Forum gets a lot of my Dakka time these days.
I must've missed that he was supposed to be a veteran. I guess in that case 2 lion shoulder pads are adequate.

The first one looks really weird. Much too thin for a Marine, but I don't know why, all the parts seem to be in order.

Leads-the-pride looks cool, but the name goes a bit too far imo. And what will the tribesman be gamewise?
