Here's a pic of my 1st 5 painted Fleshtearer Assault Marines. I still need to buy some white transfer paper so I can print out and apply the Chapter Logo on the shoulder pad.



Here's a WIP pic of Seth, Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers (counts as Dante in game). The model is a kit bash from a a few different kits; the head is from the Warriors of Chaos kit while the axe is from the High Elf chariot.





More to come.

Nice job on the highlighting and the counts-as Dante. Look forward to seeing more.

sweet

good job highlighting the black and not making them grey

Looking forward to more.
Ive loved the Flesh Tearers ever since I first saw the awesome army that Desmosdus (I believe that was his board name) showed off his crazy army.

And youve done quite a good job so far

You've piqued my interest! I did a search for that username and came up empty handed. Any other info?

Check out http://www.flesheaters.net/
I believe thats his page!

And check out his gallery. You should really find some usefull inspiration there. His army is a masterpiece!

Almost did these during the Armageddon campaign. The chapter symbol scared me off though hehe.

These look really nice.

Be cool if you greenstuffed some flesh on them to make it look like they just really did rip someone's skin off. Fresh flesh too, make it dripping blood and stuff.

I really like the basing effect you have with the 2 tone moss/flock.

The shading and fleshtones/5-o-clock shadow on Seth are really well done.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I finished Seth up today;



I'm very happy with the face. This was my first attempt at painting a 5 o'clock shadow and I'm satisfied with the result.

Next job to tackle is a tactical squad.

Even though your using BA rules i'm taking these are csm, right?
Great highlights, seth looks pretty badass.

Not quite sure what you mean. So far all of the models used have been from Loyalist SM sprues. Rules wise I'll be running a list from the BA codex. My current list is running all Jump pack marines with the exception of a single Tac squad for Corbulo.

The Flesh Tearers are a "second founding" chapter of the Blood Angels.

They are a dying chapter (currently standing at about 4 companies), due to their predisposition to fall to the Black Rage.

Here is a story from the Third War for Armageddon (GW website, which was taken down) which sums them up, and why I created a Flesh Tearers army as well...

+++ Re: Deviancy within Adeptus Astartes Fleshtearers

+++ Thought: A woman's heart knows no Heresy.

General,
It is with mixed emotions that I can report that the forces of Warlord Rukglum are, at this time, in full retreat. The constant harrying of their rearguard by my Seraphim and Rhino-borne Battle Squads are denying the artillery warbands the ability to deploy their larger guns and I predict that without substantial reinforcements, Rukglum will continue to flee all the way back to Warlord Blagrot's Gargants where we will, reluctantly, be forced to break off pursuit.

I must, however, insist on an immediate Inquisitorial investigation of the Fleshtearers Space Marine Chapter. We were unfortunate to be assigned to fight alongside them in the strike upon Rukglum's artillery positions and their conduct opens the gravest of questions in their suitability within the defence of Armageddon. It is my personal feeling that they are not fit for duty anywhere within our mighty Imperium.

Chapter Master Seth denied me any tactical counsel whatsoever. After nearly a century in leading my Sisters to war, occasionally alongside Marine Chapters, this treatment came as no surprise. The fighting organisation and capabilities of any Sororitas Order is at least the equal to an Astartes Chapter and my Sisters are well versed in the covering of tactical errors by our alleged allies. This alone is of no concern to myself or the Order.

As you will have been made aware, we struck Warlord Rukglum's army as it moved position from shelling the mining outpost Gaius Point, to occupy the settlement. Battered by three days' bombardment, the population of Gaius Point had dug underground and, under the careful ministrations of my Sisters Superior, were determined to form an ad hoc militia to defend their homes. The Fleshtearers launched their attack on the Ork column when it was approximately one Imperial Mile from Gaius Point and, hitting the Orks in the rear and flanks, they drove the disorganised enemy into our waiting guns. Caught between Sister and Marine, many Orks were slaughtered, with the survivors mounting their vehicles to escape with all haste.

We first noticed something was very wrong when three mobs of Orks, deserted by their cowardly leaders, formed up and assaulted our front line, choosing to engage the Gaius Point militia, rather than my Sisters' deadly accurate bolt guns. The Fleshtearers, apparently driven mad by some kind of battle frenzy, crashed into their rear ranks just as the first Orks reached the militia.

It is my fear that no one in the Command Guard will believe what I must report occurred next but, as the Emperor is my witness, these things happened.

The Fleshtearers fell upon the Orks in what I can only describe as an orgy of blood letting. Many Marines had removed their helmets and, eschewing the use of pistols and other ranged weapons, set about the Orks with chainsword and knife and tooth. I swear, I saw it with my own eyes, Marines were ripping out the throats of Orks with their bared teeth. The raw fury and love of carnage I saw in their faces as they literally tore the enemy apart still makes me shudder as I write this. The Orks were annihilated within seconds of the Marines' attack, but the small number of the enemy were simply not enough for the Fleshtearers who by now seemed to have been driven into a fever pitch of absolute blood lust.

With no more Orks for them to butcher, they scrambled over the barricades on the perimeter of Gaius Point and smashed into the thin line of militia. Properly driven into a true battle frenzy now, the Fleshtearers performed acts of the most debauched nature in the name of violence. Men, women and youths, all fell beneath their blades. The old, the infirm, none were spared the Fleshtearers' crazed attack. Sister Superior Shania later reported that she had witnessed cannibalistic acts by the Marines. I did not see this, but I believe it. I ordered my Sisters to withdraw from the Fleshtearers with all haste, before they reached our positions.

The Orks have been defeated once more in the Fire Wastes and the Imperium can claim another victory. But there are no survivors of Gaius Point. None at all.

I must reiterate. It is clear that the Fleshtearers are unstable beyond redemption and an Inquisitorial investigation is the very least Chapter Master Seth and his Marines should be subject to. During my service to the Order, I have heard many strange rumours concerning the Successor Chapters of the Blood Angels, but it is evident that the Fleshtearers have devolved far beyond any point reached by a loyalist Chapter.

Either call in an Inquisitor, or bring the Imperial Navy to bombard these animals from space, but my Order will not fight alongside the Fleshtearers again, I swear it. By the Immortal Emperor and everything I hold to be Holy, my Sisters will not risk themselves by allying with savages, regardless of your own wishes.

hey how did you paint the 5 oclock shadow what colour tech etc

It's actually pretty simple. I just used a medium shade Vallejo gray and watered it down to the consistency of milk. Then just apply a number of coats to the area. The hardest part is keeping the thin paint in the area you want it, but just don't overload your brush and you should be fine
