I was posting some of my progress on a different forum, but I'd like to see what you guys think. I have been waiting for awhile for the new Space Wolves codex, and now that it is out I have been working on a tournament-legal Angry Marines army. I currently have 1500 pts of this army, and hopefully after the holidays I can build a 2000 pt list. here is what I have created so far:


here are the painted models so far. I used these three to test out colors and painting techniques. I like how they turned out and I look forward to painting the others!


the standard Angry Marines.


the first of my squad leaders, Angry Alan. he is armed with a pistol and a "frost blade". I wanted him to have an eviscerator, but the space wolves codex didn't have the option.


all of my squad leaders. can't wait to paint them!
from left to right:
-chapter master Magnus Iratus
(thunder wrench & bolter, but will trade out thunder hammer profile with frost blade profile)
-Angry James of the Devastators
(power 2x4, bolt pistol)
-Angry Boris of the Terminators
(power wrench, storm bolter)
-Angry Dennis of the Angry Bikers
(power fist)
-Angry Frank of the Angry Marines troops
(mark of RAGE)


and finally, we have Dirk the Jerk. Equipped with a twin-linked heavy flamer, another heavy flamer, and smoke launchers.

feel free to share any thoughts and ideas. I'd love to hear what others are thinking about this project! I plan on painting a bunch of these figures this holiday break, and I will post my progress as I reach major milestones. enjoy!

I really like the yelling guy! the paint job is really cool! i also like the paint job. these guys are going to look great!

I love the angry marines. Well done on those!!

Nice work. The chainsaw dude is hilarious.

actually I have been using all of the different renditions of the fan-made rules as guidelines for equipping my Angry Marines army, especially these fan-made codexes. I may not know all of the lore of the Angry Marines, but I think I am getting a solid grip on it.

You need an Angry Marine beating something with it's own leg as it writhes on the ground

And you need a nail bat, and a sock full of locks lol

It is so hard for me not to start Angry Marines when I look at the unpainted plastics I have. Literally the only reason I have not jumped at the idea is because I'm not sure how I would explain why my miniatures are covered in obscenity to friends and family.

Your next dreadnaught should have the marine interred inside punching his way out through the sarcophagus cover in a fit of rage.

Lol, I remember taking your avatar like 6 months ago or so, jam. Thanks.

I actually thought I wrote what you had there XD.

Angry Marines need their own GW codex.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Edit: Crisis averted.

Cool i like the guy with the big chainsword!

Umm... you spelled rage wrong

I lol'd so much. This army is an instant classic; I intend to do Angry Marines at some point as well.

LOL. Well they are angry angry marines.
But still LOL. Nice army i love the frostsabre your ass here --->
Hahahaha priceless.
What other characters are you making?

that's because he's so angry he can't spell properly.

Their emblem looks like the boss sign from castle crashers! lol.

Y are they so angry?

This will probably cause a lot of rage, but you could build a Completly GW Leagal Angry Marine List use the Space Wolves.
Twin-Chain Fist
MotW-Rage.

[please don't hurt for this, I have been thinking about it since the SW book came out and saw that you could take 2 Chain Fist]

Dooooooood! A Power 2x4??? I just about pissed myself! That is awesome! More more more!!!

actually using two chainfists is completely legal AND available for HQ choices and Wolf Guard. BITCHIN! also the MotW is awesome, but it's rules say "[the model's close combat attacks] are not affected by wargear, additional hand weapons and so on, though they may be bolstered by other factors (the bonus for charging, Logan Grimnar's Living Legend ability, etc.)" which means that the two powerfists may or may not serve any purpose in battle in conjunction with that ability (I will have to delve into this apsect a little more just to be sure...). for this reason the fella I did give the MotW to, Angry Frank, I gave two chainswords and the emblem on his back to show that he has the mark of RAGE, since the equipment is ignored in close combat anyway and they look awesome.

BUT I do have a wolf guard battle leader/Wolf Guard slot open, so I can always get a double chain/powerfist model on the field, and if I can slap on a mark of RAGE!...AND a jump-pack maybe???? AND on the topic of close combat weapons I feel it very necessary that the next squad leader shall be modeled thusly:


I can't wait for this holiday break! Also thanks for the ideas you guys are tossing out, I am gonna have so much fun making and building these guys!

oh yeah. since it looks like I am going to have a couple new special guys, any ideas for names?

PRICELESS!

I do, but Dakka will probably get me for profanity.

hey folks! it's been awhile since I have posted any progress on my army, but I assure you that I am making great progress on my army! I currently have 1000 pts of my 2000 pt. force fully painted. here are the pics of everything completely painted so far:


and here is a closeup on my Angry Marine Chaplain:

Image removed for containing profanity. Nice paint work though.


Also I think that I will continue to use Space Wolves rules until the Blood Angels codex comes out later this year. I have heard that this new codex can more accurately portray Angry Marines, so we'll see when it comes out!

That's all I got so far for ya! Next up will be all my Fast attack and Heavy support choices!

This is Awesome ANGRY army

Lol i love this army.
