I'm shooting for a little darker look.

I'm not a big fan of the hopeful pure look...

The citadel hobby saw...Yeesh, that thing even looks gruesome. I swear I've had a couple nightmares of that thing..

I had something to though in but i forgot just now LAWL

I'm sure at some point I'll be bleeding because of it...

I do that ALL the time.

I'm going to go ahead and start getting some bits I have around the house prepped and ready for the arrival of the ones I ordered. That way I will be a little closer to ready once the torsos and heads show up. I still need to run to the store and grab a tac squad at some point.

Fixed that for ya.

Do you have anything in mind for the GW marine torsos and heads? Ive tossed around the idea of iveserating some AoBR rines for legs and making multiparts out of em, but figured id come up short of torsos at that point.

It would seem that I would have some extra torsos and heads. Esp if somehome I managed to buy a battleforce! Realisticly I'm not going to buy that Not now atleast. Maybe once I get a squad to gether and painted to make sure I like them. If you want the extras from the tac squad I'm picking up on my way to work I'll send em your way! Just pm me with the info I need and I'll get rolling.

yea like WM said get a battle force those things are great now for what you want to do

if you get hardcore into your marines and want to give them a
unique rare piece of equipment ....remember the flying trireme in the bit i first wrote well ive been looking at one of these for a month or two and thought that could be a Thunderhawk ....wysiwyg http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/acy/acy1401.htm

and with a little converting it could be awesome

@bigmek35- I would LOVE a battleforce but I just dont have the $$ right now. I dont feel that bad about settling on a tac squad for now... but once I REALLY get going on this army the battleforce might find it's way into my arms at my FLGS.

@Vignor- That is an incredibly interesting idea! A ton of converting but it would be totally worth it! I'll have to keep that in mind Any luck on that chapter symbol yet?

infernally hard to come up with an idea for a symbol but im still trucking on it the only idea ive had is to use a Achilles shield with
wings like how the scibor shoulder pads have the shield and wings on them and placing a Aquila on the shield

Wheres the picture

hahaha hold on ive got to upload it then.. not the greatest but you'll get an idea

its not the greatest but i hope you get the geest as what im trying todo..

I can def see what you are trying to do vignor! What about this for an idea... Use the shield but take the wings off and the tweety bird out of the middle and put a downward facing gladius? It'll tighten it up a bit and make it so I could put it on a shoulderpad. I'm still very open for ideas!

alright number two on the way old on for upload

I like the bottom one myself and the 8 rivet things the shield
and the sword could work a bit of fluff the shield is first company the the sword is second company and the eight rivets represent the other company's..And to represent which
company a marine comes from you can paint one of the 10 parts to the company's color that represents his company...man i dont know hahaha...ive been on a brain drain from these past few days i need inspiration or intoxication...

The bottom one might just be the winner!

tony_nids_10 wrote:The bottom one might just be the winner!

hahaha

Don't quote me on this but, I might try to sculpt it out of GS on a shoulderpad to cast.

That would be cool ive seen your GS skills on your tyranids thread and i think you can do it .... see i didn't quote you hahaha

Have you chosen what codex your going to use...

Not too sure yet. Why?

Just curious...i think the Black Templars Chaplain Grimaldus has the perfect rules for one of the HQ slots of the shields very indomitable spartan resolve like

I saw that too but I think I might need to use the BA codex for some extra breaking power.

Death company a must then

Absolutely!

ive noticed one thing from your OP thats been neglected .....THE GUARD ATTACHMENT have you had any thoughts on what todo with them....



Automatically Appended Next Post:
For your guard attachment with the shields i think you could get big points with a little converting..
ogres for ogryn and storm troopers outta men at arms and catachans or cadians with a little Green stuff you could produes a hard core elite army... you could convert maruader horse men into rough riders just scrape or green stuff over the chaos iconography and while staying on the topic marauders of chaos could be used as basic infentry men
with catachan arms and deco bitz and saw the horns off the helms and bam!!! you could make a totally unique army..i'll send you some more info after i do some scratching...

5PM to 5AM? You sure you don't mean 5AM to 5PM? Cause otherwise.. my god.. I would never do those hours (not that I've ever done any.. ).

Still watching this thread with interest. So my idea of everything being a true-scale-mcbatnipple armour model is outta the window? Meh.. would've loved to have seen that..

Still.. Tzeentch owes me a few favors.. might get him to manipulate your mind.. and that of whoever decides your hours and pay..

I'm thinking "hours: all day" and pay "$500 a minute" with the job description of "go home and make those true-scale mcbatnipple armour marines!!" so that Dark can say "I told you so; I told you they'd be awesome."

Then I'll get tzeentch to make everyone believe the army (and job) is mine, thus perfecting my life.

Oh damn, I've told you my plan. I'll just go live on the moon and bomb everyone else instead then.


@mods who read this - I'm not being off-topic and annoying, I'm keeping the thread alive.. /buggers off

...And other converting thing to do is take chaos knight horses and convert them into "cavalry" aka attack bike WYSIWYG proxy....ill draw up concepts and find info if you'd like to see my madness...
