Ok, you've probably seen these floating around in our battle reports for a while now, but I've finally completed my White Scar/Marine army, and we did took some fancy photos to show it off! I doubt I'll be changing or adding anything to this for a very long time - there's more than enough models here for a variety of playing styles. And of course there's always the golden rule to think about - if it doesn't fit in the case, it doesn't go in the army. These happily live in one large GW carry case...I couldn't fit any landraiders in if i tried...

Here's a few of the photos - I've updated the main article in the articles system at Ian's White Scars (Marines), and you can find the rest of the photos there!

wow, absolutely amazing. keep going, well, dont, youve finished it now, but, you know what i mean.

Thanks.

Very nicely done. You did a fine job with flat paints (Not a fan of highlights all to much).

What did you use for the conversions?

WOW,that must have taken ages(and a large chunk of your salary/allowance).Nice job!

Its always great to see years of collecting all tied together in one crisp paint scheme! Nice to see the old terminators and dreads. And man, those landspeeders must be antique! Great army, hope it wins much glory for the khan!

Beautiful! Excellent use of the classic models.

Thanks! I'm far too impatient for blending and highlighting myself

So, the conversions in the pics above are...

WS Command Squad - WS biker models, standard made from an old Warhammer Beastman standard and a cocktail stick.

Techmarine - OOP Space Wolf Rune Priest in Terminator Armour, Necromunda Pit Slave drill, Exo Squat arms (one arm is the Ancestor Lord Biker lance arm), power axe made from a Metal Chaos Terminator chain axe

Landspeeders - Original Imperial Guard Landspeeders. Crew from first metal Space Marine Landspeeder and old metal Attack Bike sidecar bloke.

Dreadnoughts - Original OOP dreads with converted weapons. Assault Cannon from a Tornado. Missile Launcher made from the back vents of the old whirlwind kit.

Predators and Terminators - no conversions, just old models!

Very impressive. I cant wait until I can show that much finished for my marines.

Holy crap, dude. I can't believe the age of some of those models! Are those all old ones you bought originally? Or are they ones you picked up for use in the army? (Thinking about the Dreads specifically, but also the Cyclone Terminators!) Great job converting and bringing them into the 21st Century - you really make the Dreads look nice (which is hard to do as those are some seriously ugly lumps of metal! I remember mine!)

Thanks! Most of them are from ebay auctions a good few years ago. I used to buy job lots of old marine stuff for a different army.

Looks great! Nice work!

Loving the landspeeders - I miss the IG landspeeder rules

Awesome. Love the classic models.

I think I may start to live by your credo. I have way too many models that dont fit well in standard GW cases.

look very good, i wondered what some of it was until some of the others mentioned that they are classics, great job!

I have two things to say:
1. Very nice job on the army, the highlights add to the wow factor of it.
And 2. That is a TON of bikes hehe.

Yup, it should be a rule. I have to travel to play games, so everything has to fit in the case. The last thing i want is a main case for an army, and then a load of little boxes full of 'extras'. So, once the case is full, either get a bigger case or declare the army finished!!!

Great army... I always like old GW stuff...

That is a really great looking outfit! I too had no idea what some of the units were until iread trhough more of the thread, some pretty amazing stuff from the early days!

great ethos as well, think i might have to live by that one!

Wow look at all the old minis! I havnt seen that old school landspeeder in FOREVER! Nice job

bin DREADS!!!!!

that was a nice modeled and well painted SM army!

FOR KHAN AND THE EMPEROR.

Just awsome old models...not that i am green with envy or anything. I have a couple of thm, an old dread, speeder etc but not ALL of them lol.

Fab looking army

even if your worshiping a corpse hehehehe

AWESOME! I play Scars and IMO they are the best SM chapter, well done Ian Khan

I am pretty sure my Predator is even older than that! I'll post pics soon.

Aha - you mean THESE ones? (It's a conversion, but hey...)



Yup, for the sake of consistency, I keep these to the Slaanesh army and the 2ed ones to the White Scars. I really couldn't justify five in the same army!!!

That's a great looking army. You managed to make those classic models modern looking and not dated. Love those termies...

An army to be proud of!

I thougth armies can never be finished you just keep collecting them 'til you are ready for APOCALYPSE

By the way, very nice army indeed.

Yeah, that is the pred I have. It is currently an almost-finised Mentor Legion Pred, but I am planning to repaint it as Lamenters once everything else is done...
