Hrm, I'm going to have to give the how-tos on this some thought...

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

lol, more good possibilities! I'm gonna have to think carefully about this squad...

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

They already got those, they're called Wyches lol. Soap in a sock! I will add it to the list of things to do in squad 2! It's shall be done!

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.

LOL, thanks! Don't worry more ANGER will come, ohh yes.

Archon is done!



What do you think? I'm pretty happy with him. You can't tell to good from the pic, but his "damaged" eye is actually metallic.

Well, if I stick to the plan, razorwing is next. But I've already decided I don't feel like painting it yet. Feeling uninspired with scheme ideas. Which means I'll probably backslide into my normal habit of working on 15 things at once.

My Bruisiarch is another half finished character; perhaps I shall finish him off and then re-evaluate.

Questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, and pointless screaming please!

This thread is full of win, thanks for the funnies.

THE RAPE TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES!

The best thing you could have put on that raven. HAHHAHAHA

Your Archon looks way better than any of the ones GW sell. Loving it

I'm in the process of setting up/repainting my new office/gaming den and everything is a godawful mess, except one lovely part:


It makes me feel pretty.

Anywho, I figured since my Bruisiarch is ALSO a half done model, I would work on him. I decided I wanted his guitar to be burning, but I don't know if I should ,make it bright like it is now, or darkened and smouldering like my black brother.



What do you guys think?

I think it could use some visible "flames" other than that awesome.

Where did you find the guitar? It looks absolutely radical and awesome.
A suggestion: Brusiarch needs a cigar as well.

Hrm, I will look into this. My only concern is that it will make him look too much like a black brother. I will see if I can mock some stuff up w/ sticky tack and see how it goes. Thanks for the feedback!!

Thanks! The guitar is made of a dark angel vehicle emblem, the neck is a chainsword, and the head is another DA bit of some sort. The strings are just pins I cut up and the flat part that hides the string attachment is a bit of plasticard. Unfortunately, he doesn't smoke; it's bad for his singing voice.

I seriously cant wait to see what you do with this

Damn that Archon is amazing.

Sweet Work Keep um coming!!!

Obsidian Raven wrote:I seriously cant wait to see what you do with this

Spoiler:

F**K YEAH!!! I've already got some ideas... Unfortunately, it's only usable with Codex: Smurfs, so since I use BA I can't really use it legally, so it might be a bit down the priority list... ALTHOUGH!! I have been hearing rumors about allies in 6th ed. If this is true, it could be like the second coming for "Counts As" army builders! Storm Talons for all!

Thanks! Will do!

So I have not gotten any more painting done on the Bruisiarch, because I felt like modeling instead of painting, and my attention span in tiny. BUT, I did start a new project. Here's the inspiration art:



So, my plan is to make a squad of powerfeet marines and make them a "counts as" honor guard squad. They shall be equipped with dual power fists and jump packs to represent power feet. Although...I might run them with the chapter banner and one power fist each, to save points. OR I COULD DO BOTH. The apoth will just be the guy I already converted, I figure SOMEONE in the squad should strike at initiative.


I got a good deal on a trade for these guys. The sgt will actually end up as a termi sgt, the other 4 shall be turned into power feet


Here they are cleaned up.


I decided that the feet needed more thickness. These need more work, I was just trying to add bulk. I will attack them with a dremel and knife later on. I am also going to beef up the shin armor..

What you could do is cut the Terminator legs off at the shins and pop them onto normal SM Legs.

Those would look a lot like Power Feet. You know, for kicking those feths in the balls.

Don't do it at the shins, do it above the knees. If you can, bulk out the shins and the feet so it looks like they may have their normal power armour on under the power feet

POWER FEET ARE FOR KICKING THOSE F***s IN THE BALLS!

I'd say use the Terminator lower legs, with the upper legs and crotch of normal Marines. And make sure there are plenty of pistons, and spikes on the bottom of the feet.

I've just run through your whole thread and I think you've done some great stuff. Definately unique and original

the only boundary you haven't tamed yet seems to be addind LEDs to things. Any angry vehicles left in the stable that need fairy lights (or rave strobes)?

OMG, this is epic win!

Good thought, although after looking at them side by side, termi legs weren't that much bigger than regular power armor. :(

As above, it turns out the size difference really doesn't warrant all the work chopping them apart/GSing them back together. I did start bulking things out though, see below and let me know what you think.

F***ING RIGHT THEY ARE!!!!!!!

Spikes on the bottom of the feet! Good idea! I dunno if I can work it into this project, but the idea of an assault marine making a dynamic entry with huge spiked boots is too good to pass up!

Hrm, that is something I have never really tried out. Depending on how the new Chaos codex works out, I might have to make some slaaneshi tanks with lights and working sound

Red Corsair wrote:OMG, this is epic win!

Thanks!

So, turns out termi legs aren't big enough on their own, so I started beefing them up. I also started to clean up the extended feet. They needs a lot more work, and some rivets, I think.



let me know what you think.

Rivets. NEEDS MOAR RIVETS.

Squigsquasher wrote:Rivets. NEEDS MOAR RIVETS.

I second the notion.

Better!

I agree with the rivets, it would make a nice addition. You could do it one of 2 ways: 1st) rivet the out edge like they were bolted on, or use the riviets like the MKVI amour shoulder pad and do the whole thing.

Hrm, I was just going to rivet the feet, but you might be onto something there... I don't want to do MKVI on all of them...that's giving up a lot of prime writing space. But I think a few could be pretty great... Thanks!

Anyway, here's what I got done:



I will go back and rivet the shins up a bit. Also going to GS up some angry emblems for the chests... And I have a SPECIAL plan for the Sgt's wolf skin cloak. Stay tuned!

I know it might be a little late, but can't you model one of them posed to be kicking some feth in the balls?

Top-notch work either way

What it needs is rockets on the feet with the nozzles pointing upwards, or possibly upwards facing jets on the jump pack to increase descent speed for MAXIMUM STOMPAGE!!!!!

This thread is the best thing I have read all week. I have been wanting to do an Angry Marine army since I first heard of them and read the fluff. I can't justify (financially and scheduling) another major project for at least a couple years, but when I finally do... my gaming friends have already been warned.

Subbed!

Yeah, too late... :( I'll add it to my idea pile though!

LOL, that's a pretty great mental image! I think it would make a better drawing/diorama than field-able model, though.

Glad you're enjoying the thread! I started our just doing one/two marines at a time, and even then it was so on and off that it took weeks for a single dude to go from a pile of bitz to a complete marine. I planned on continuing like that, but after the first squad was done, it just kinda took off lol. I WILL BE F**KING EAGERLY AWAITING YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CHAPTER, YOU LAZY ****!

Here's my power feet progress:


Added some rivets to the legs, and replaced his hand flamer with a regular flamer, checked the 'dex and it is cheaper that way.


Added rivets and a chest emblem.


As requested: PRE HERESY POWER FEET!!!


The Sgt, added rivets, emblem and cigar


and his cloak....

I also prepped everyone to receive the power feet cabling:

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU...how could I miss this thread for so long?

You, sir, win the Internet
