Another update. This is a list of things I am getting shipped to me in the next month/6 weeks... Big Ol' Pile of fun!!!

1 leman russ
1 tank hunter
1 medusa basilisk
1 chimera
2 squads of DKOK
1 DKOK command squad
1 Stormlord
1 baneblade standard
1 baneblade hellhound.


It sounds beautiful!!!!! but on the last baneblade i never heard of a baneblade hellhound unless your talking about bout a hellhammer


Huh.. never thought of Typo's. I just envisioned a Shadowsword chassis with a massive flamer on it (i.e. warhound flamer thing).


Soo like this?:

Confused.


Thats the nice thing about dealing with a person rather than a company. A person will work out a deal with you so that its not all the money at once. No worries about the battle force will happen eventually.

I dont know why i post my sketchs on your tread im working on a temi next but the above marine I Call him battle brother VIGNORIS hahaha of the EMPERORS SHIELDS Stern Guard...i think its one of my best sketches ive put up on dakka besides my sister of battle


You post them because they are amazing and incredibly helpful! Not to mention appreciated I would love to get some of those helmets!

vignor wrote:Ill Send you the siege of Vraks books if you want them MR.nids...and your DKOK i cant wait to see your work on that force either and if i had the money id defiantly take that list over a battle force any day


I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way! DKoK are the type of models that just jump at you when you see them! I will absolutely keep you (and most likely everyone else) updated with that project too. Those books would be great!

If you ever need to get a lot of DkOK on the field, steel legion guardsmen make nice proxies.

I've got a friend who's got 1/3 DkoK and 2/3 steel legion. It looks pretty good. You can paint on certain details.

Good luck with that, I'm sure it'll look great

Ah. I see. So the color scheme is permanent? I like it

I think you should get a couple things to try out all the color schemes:
Battleforce
Assault Terminators

Although that IS a lot of money......

the helmet just GS a short plume

Pretty cool my only suggestion would be to paint him some pants...and im going to do a tutorial soon that i think might help with painting symbols and designs thats totally been over looked by everyone...and i think it would help you make the shields equipment have a high level of uniqueness....still no word about the bitz yet

You know, there's a company out there that makes some really neat greek helmets... they're not space greeks... just greeks... but a set of them might give you something in the correct size to play with and experiment on. (Scribor miniatures)

Before i can continue we need to Think tank some names,places And ideas...

I suggest in the story we incorporate the combined forces operation with The shields And there Guard attachment

but i dont know where to start

1.We need a name for the home planet of the chapter
2.we need a name for the guard adjunct
3.Names of Marines and certain guardsmen
4.do we want to sacrifice 300 hundred marines to the horde

I would be more than happy to swap out the guard regiment for some scout squads.. maybe. We shall see. Either way BM you will be in it as well. I am so glad you are hooked! Be sure to follow on over to the new P&M thread to be made later tonight!

1- I really like the idea of a fleet based chapter! I do have a bit of a soft spot for the Black templar ways
2- Guard or Scouts? If guard what about "The Legionarres" I realize I spelled that terribly but I have been awake for close to 48 hours straight
3- I like what we have going with the Dakka peeps (yeah I said peeps ) Maybe a slight twist like you did for "my" unit?
4- I don't even know what that means
