...who should the dreadnought be

@Vignor- I like the idea of a scout company too! I think thats the way to go. I actually picked up a sanguinor exemplar of the host today too. I'm going to be cutting his mop top head off and filing off the BA symbols and switching an arm or two and using him as a special character.

I really like the idea of everyone on here actually being a REAL part of my army. Makes me happy Why dont you good sir take the honor of the dreadnought? You gave me termi armor and thats enough for me

"10th company" lists can be pretty good too. I hate scouts, but that's besides the point. I think its cuz they are elites in the DA dex.

I will admit that some of the figures I make may not actually make it into the army list. Some I'm just going to make because I can

All right tony! Go for it! Can't wait to see what you're going to concoct...

Don't I have to soak my new resin bits before I do anything with them? If so what do I have to do

PM'd answer...

Thanks git! I do have to say that I am slightly disappointed in these bits... There is going to be some decent cutting and trimming to get them to be symetrical at the very least. Not to mention that they are starting to look more like termi torsos than standard SM torsos... This may be bad.

Bummer. There's always the sang guard option.

At the moment I'm looking at them and I see how I'm going to alter them for the termis. So it wont be a total loss. I will be using almost entirely sang guard torsos for the rest of the army. Not to mention the heads are pretty great...minus the few with giant bubbles missing from them. Nothing a little GS cant fill in.

can i make an army list?

im thinking a 1500 pointer?

Go for it 1500 is good sized! Just share the list after I'm using the BA codex for mine.

If we're all becoming named characters in this army, I have to be the sleezy traitor who gets himself wtfpwn'd everytime but comes back anyway coz' he's chaos and chaos says he can. jk

I'm actually still following this , despite my lag of contribution over the last couple of pages .

I'm just waiting for the models to start coming in!

there Almost the size of terminators good lord...But just think Greeks use to make there Hero Twice the size of a normal man Hercules Stood almost 12 Feet tall and thats the reasons why Greek statues are more largely portioned then that of a normal man...But from a modeling
Stand point i can see where that can be a bad thing mis portioned Maybe you can do a true scale marine hero squad

673.M36 Chapter Master Darkvoidof40k of the Paragons of Faith () chapter, successor to the Emperor's Shields chapter of Adeptus Astartes, declares his independance of the Imperium and, with his fleet-based chapter, rampage through several systems, killing billions. When their campaign of pillaging and killing are interrupted by the Emperor's Shields - deployed in full chapter strength - they immediately withdraw to the Eye of Terror, but not before they virus bomb several planets.

3 Companies of The emperors shields Follow into The EYE With holy fury Accompanied with a company of mantis warriors..i thought it would be cool to throw Gitsplitta into the mix ive been following his mantis warriors...."the Paragons of Faith SHALL NOT SUFFER!!! as heretics or disgrace our prodigean no more..with me my shields into the eye we will go"

^ it's not latin, so I don't know what it is.

Anyway, I've been looking for an excuse to create fluff for/build a CSM army, but not with the CSM 'dex. Atleast not the official one (I use a better one instead).

If I do get round to actually doing this army, asides from my parents going mad about me not finishing my 5k-ish pts of SM and my 1k-ish points of guard, then I'll make sure to tell y'all about it.

I'll figure something out... I am still quite upset by this but maybe either termis or a ts squad is the way to go.

Good idea! I have some really great looking heads for some of these guys.

212.M37 - as his first act, the newly appointed Chapter Master Ralkos of the Emperor's Shield chapter, declares that he will lead a hunt into the Eye of Terror, not resting until the disgraceful smear upon their history that is the Paragons of Faith from existance - in this realm and the next. With seven companies of space marines and most of the Chapter's vehicles, Ralkos sets off into the Eye of Terror.

233.M37 - three battered battle company's return from their crusade into the Eye, bearing the crippled body of their fallen Master. Though the tales of their battle's with their traitorous brethren is long and glorious, having killed hundreds of the Paragons of Faith, they were ultimately defeated when the Chaos Lord Darkvoidof40k lead a surprise assault at the head of a Daemonic horde, and he eviscerated Ralkos before his brothers. Under the command of Captain Asargis of the first company, the remaining three-hundred and fifty Shields' withdrew, unaple to face the remainder of the Paragons' might and the daemons combined. Asargis swears vengeance, and it becomes a tradition for every new Chapter Master to lead a crusade in an attempt to destroy the Paragons of Faith.

Looks good Void!

After cleaning up the new bits I will be assembling my first SM and posting it here with a link to the new P&M thread!

There is one side to having more people doing my chapter... More people whos army will look better than mine

scout Sargent big mek

Ah, wonderful then. Every army needs a standard bearer guy (even if they aren't the best buy for your command squad)

Cant wait to see what else cool fluff and art you come up with. I suck at both, so I'm no help. Really looking forward to the Dreds. I love using em in my BA lists.

I like the fact that there are now a few of us using this chapter It would be cool to see some succesor chapters.

*ahem*

Btw, whose geneseed is this chapter from? I was thinking maybe they were created in the Dark Founding, and forgotten about (damned administratum and their brilliant filekeeping skillz!).

I was originally thinking of a few less likely idea's:

They are created from traitor geneseed (very unlikely, but perhaps an experiment or something?)

21st founding sounds cool but not the traitor geneseed, i would say they are made from ultrasmurfs (what thier roman and we are greek?)

and maybe have them like Real anceint greeks like the gaurdsmen could be farmers from the city states (Atheons Prime is the capital) and the emporer shields fortress monestary is in Sparantian Delta, how bout it?

also to have power armour your in the second company and to get Termie Armour you need to be in the first co how bout it?

Space Marines without power armour are just gun fodder. They have power armour because they are too precious to be gun fodder.

Besides, if they were from ultrasmurfs they would all die of /boohoo/ because they were completely ignoring the Codex Astartes when it says: "WEAR YOUR POWER ARMOUR!"

Terminator armour for first company - pretty much every chapter (if not EVERY chapter) has that.


I think it is going to be the 21st founding. That or Ultramarines, because all of the chapter's created from them are not listed. It is true that not all Smurf successors follow the Codex Astartes - take the Mortifactors for example.

Allow me to step in and settle this... NO ULTRAMARINES! Ok now then, 21st founding sounds good but the chapter as a whole just doesn't seem tragic or generally odd. There has to be some middleground between the smurfs and the other (cooler) chapters

As soon as the wife gets home with the camera I will pop a shot or two of the commander I'm working on. So far it is made up of a scibor head, a commander rear torso w/cape, sang guard torso front, assault marine running legs, power sword, and commander bolter. The backpack is the once from the command pack but I'm a little up in the air on it. I'll start the other thread as soon as I get a pic to post. I want to find a suitable shield to go on the gun arm too just to round out the look, thoughts?
