Speeder is looking nice! Can't wait for the finished product with the chain-marine and all.

Quick Post! I finished my speeder in time for the tourny!



I ended up going 2-2, but I'll get a proper post on that up later. If you can't wait, well, talk to the complaint dept!

As far as Fuklaw, I was planning on making him the tank commander of my old FW Baneblade. As far as drop pods...I have my own idea for one that parts have already been purchased for, but I am always open for ideas for future projects

Till later!

Haha lol at complaint dept.

Love it.

Great land speeder. There is only one thing you must add: Heavy weathering on the ram! It has to look well used! lol

Love the complaint dept. line, great job dude!

Complaint Dept. is hilarious. For drop pods, I've always pictured Angry Marines falling from the sky in giant fist-shaped drop pods. Just a thought.

while another marine rides it playing a guitar >>

A guitar made out of a chain axe!

A BURNING guitar!

I agree with MrMerlin, the ram needs to look used, with paint-scratching and old blood splatters. Otherwise, I'm jelly of this model. MAKE MOAR!!!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree about the plow, I'll have to go back and give it some more punishment. It was 1:30 am, I had a tourny to leave for at 8 am, I ran out of give-a- .

As far as the pods, I love the ideas. If I could just figure out how the to pull some of them off, I'd get started right away, lol.

Anyway, I went 2-2 at the tourny, got some awards and a ton of loot. Check out the details, pics, and battle reports on my blog: http://alwaysangryallthetime.blogspot.com/2012/04/berks-spring-assault.html?showComment=1335836152593#c7684474381339934117. There might be a bad word or two there, be warned.

Anyway, here's some pics of my Dark Eldar, as I hope to give them some more love soon:


My warriors. This was the first unit I painted. I had finally settled on a scheme and was trying different stuff out. Some of the highlighting is terrible on these, but getting more stuff tabletop ready take precedence over fixing them. I used an OOP sybarite for sentimental reasons (from my old codex DE army) and to generate extra bitz for my klaivex. My Kabal is the "Kabal of the Empty Sun", hence the empty sun banner.


Wyches, same deal as the warriors. Some minor conversions using corsair weapons. Although I recognize the better quality of the models, I really wish they had stuck with the old wych "style". I just couldn't get my heart into painting these guys, and I think it shows. Also some bad sprue planning by GW left a bunch of the shoulder pads defective, and I haven't gotten around to GSing the chips out yet. I plan on updating my old wyches with modern weapons and spikes, as squad #2, should be a hoot.

Thoughts?

TOO MUCH BAD-ARSERY!!!

Mate these are awesome. Respect

The Angry Marines are fantastic, love them to bits, especially the flyer with the chunk of concrete! The Dark Eldar... well it's hard to tell. The photos are a bit too dark to make out details and a bit out of focus on the larger image. They look pretty good anyway and the bases look excellent, I love how you managed to get a grassy field look without it coming across as unrealistic or "Sound of Music" rolling hills. Using the two differently coloured static grasses like that is very convincing.

Fuklaw could be a termie chaplain, those are the angriest 'normal' marines who like splattering people anyway...

Crozius Arse-kaner???

like this?



But with your raeg expertise

Appreciate the input! My scheme is turning out to be difficult to photograph, it's more vibrant irl, but still very dark. My trueborn pics (below) show this better.

Heh, I like the idea, and I forgot how much I love that model, but Fuklaw is just a commissar. I might use that model as a base for Bruisiarch Mofo, though.

Anyway, here are my trueborn, they are mainly kitbashes of warrior bitz and Dark Elf corsairs. As stated before, they show my color scheme a little better than the warrior pics:


CC dudes, or "the first to die". Made from corsairs and old/new DE bitz.


Standard Bearer with a blaster converted out of a disintigrator. The standard is just a place holder for now, I'm keeping the concept, but will ave to repaint it.


My other special weapon dudes. The new Splinter Cannons have too much "eldar" and not enough "dark" for my tastes, so I used the OOP ones for these guys. Again, the blasters are made from raider disintigrators (saved me a bunch of bit money!)


My dracon, really happy with how she turned out. She's actually made from one of the raider passengers.

I need everyone's help, I'm going to start my next thing, but I have so many things, I don't know where to start. Halp?

Here's what i have lined up:

- Contemptor
- Bruisiarch
- Archon (about half done already, one of the coolest conversions I have done to date imho)
- Assault Terminators
- Land Raider Redeemer
- Razorwing
- Scratchbuild a Biker Painboy

Also, regardless as to whether I work on them next, I'm still looking for ideas on the Contemptor, Redeemer and Assault Termies. The Assault sgt is already locked in, he shall have pre-heresy style armor (all the rage with the kids these days) and an Adamantine Sack of Power Doorknobs and a Storm Door, the rest of the squad shall have lightning claws (which is boring and why I need ideas).

I've also given more thought to bikes. Although people seem to like my lazy marine idea, the lack of Angry bikers seems to cause sadness. SO, I have decided, in my infinite benevolence, that I shall have a regular biker squad w/ an attack bike that are ANGRY, and that I will make an attack bike only squad that shall be lazy!

Thoughts, votes, and feedback, plox.

I would say this order:
Archon > Razorwing > Bruisiarch > Contemptor > Redeemer > Painboy / Termis.

Because you've half-done the Archon, that should be first, the Razorwing next simply because it's a gorgeous model.
Followed by the Brusiarch because that'll be fun.

This gives you time to figure out what to do with the contemptor, redeemer and assault marines.

How about power knuckle dusters

Also im loving the conversions

Makes sense!

Thanks! That could be done pretty easily, actually. I've noticed that if you remove the claws from lightning claws, they kinda look like industrial brass knuckles... OK! That's one terminator figured out!

Ok then, Archon gets 100% of the votes! Here's some really crappy WIP pics:






There's his pieces...


I assembled him for a game a while back and snapped this picture before breaking him down for further painting.

As so can see, he is already 1/2 way painted, so I hope to have him done within a week.

That looks cool, I love the hands!
How exactly did you make them?

Wow, that archon looks fantastic!

how did you do the hands?

Great stuff on all ends!

Attack bike idea for you:

Angry marine on a bike, with a guy beside him, surfing on a combat shield (or skaktes made out of Ork heads) while holding the HB or MM.

Thanks! The hands are made from old Flayed One metal hands. I just added knife/blade bits from the warrior and wych kits to make the pointer fingers and thumbs

Exactly!

Archon Scissorhands, just a misunderstood individual....




Do something like this and give them black leather biker jackets and molotov cocktails instead of melta bombs, power chains, power tyre irons etc lol

attack bike could be a trike, with the gunner stood up behind the driver?

loving your work so far

Here's an idea for an accompaniment to the Angry Marines: the Sisters of Bottle, a bunch of drunk, aggressive, moody, slutty Battle Sisters.

Nice work so far, by the way! But needs a bar of soap in a sock.

"I BUTTER MY BREAD WITH A CHAINSWORD!!!"

Now that's done. I have but one thing to say Sir: I F****N LOVE YOU BAD-ASS MANLY ANGRY MARINES!!! THEM PANSY-ASS PRETTY MARINES AIN'T GOT SH*T ON THEM!!
I confess, I'm an AM fanboy You got the feel of them right, yes you do. You just need some of them Angrier Squads now.
