Nice to see you are back. I have some AOBR termies, two of which are converted with new arms, but I should have the old arms, they are painted, but painted black with some orange, so basically just primed haha.

Good to hear things are going well, hopefully we can get this project moving again!

Glad to see your still moving on, obviously I use the word 'see' there to mean read about Also good to hear your finances are a bit better

I've got a few left, but someone already got most of them

Actually, I think I did get some AoBR and BfM monopose marines in a trade, and could certainly give up one or two of the ML duders and Black Reach Sgts in the ranks (only so much you can change them up). I'll see what I can dig ya up.

Only if you promise that you will put another purity seal on the box

Lol, I started that with a box I sent to gitsplitta and it seems to make people smile, so I suppose I can spend the extra 30 seconds to do it again

I don't have any of the AOBR bitz persay but if you search some ebay sellers i thnk they got them for dirk cheap, we're talking 1/3 the price of a standard dred in stores!

Does anyone remembers the original "N.O. Saints" Paint scheme for these guys? If not Good, if so, FORGET IT! I'm looking for suggestion for a new scheme! I figure that will keep my mind occupied while I work on my squads. As usual, please feel free to toss around ideas. I am trying to avoid a scheme involving mostly gold. I was trying to come up with something unique to keep with the theme of the army but I am rather run down

Something that isn't quite yellow or sand and not quite bone either, perhaps. I've always envisioned their home world as a dusty barren landscape of orange sand, with sandstorms whirling everywhere. Giant Sand Worms and Arthropods are everywhere, ensuring that only the strongest survive.


Edit: I'll do a mock scheme or two when I get in.

Oh Void, I really can count on you for insight. Come to think of it I'm pretty sure you have made an appearance on all of my blogs. I appreciate it as usual. I'm on B&CS right now working on a few schemes as we speak.

It would seem Void that you are the only one left.

No, I just cant come up with any good ideas

Sorry bud , me too. My colour scheme hasn't varied much in years so I don't think I am qualified to offer anything

I understand guys. No Worries! I've spent a bit of time in the space marine painter and here are a few options I've come up with. Obviously I'm still looking and open to more thoughts on the subject.

Scheme 1








Scheme 2







Scheme 3







Scheme 4







Scheme 5







As always, let me know what you think.

# 4 looks on the money, #5 looks very close or could be Scythes of the Emperor.

2 seems a bit BA, and 4 BT. I like 3 personally, but think 5 is more in line with what they were.

I think scheme 4 is too close to the Death Spectres to be viable.

I love when no one agrees

It's begining to look like a primer grey army is the way to go

I'd shoot for #1... and a far #3 after that- the other ones look a bit too close to already-formed chapters. And possibly due to 300 influence... I can't really see the Emperor's Shields in anything other than Spartan colors...

I was totally gonna go for the black bits you did.. but you beat me to it .

Will return with a useful post later on.

1# looks the best.

Those concept artwork pieces on some of the previous pages are fantastic.

Scheme #1 is the Marine's Malevolent scheme, Personally I like #3 and #5.

Could i get some background on your chapter, might help in the color processes.

Or those taurus guys

I agree, hella death spectre

I like 1 and 5.

Ironfront, there are 2 threads for my chapter, either/both have a ton of background.

tony, you should dig out that long PM I sent you ages ago for the OP of the fluff thread and add in all those pictures you missed out! Just right click 'em and copy the image location.

I'd do it.. but I have about 10 pages of PMs or something stupid like that .

Hey, I was going through some of my old books on greece and thought up this. Wonder if you like it.

bam!

@Void- You mean the PM that doesn't work because of the lack of code I don't even think I fixed it on the other thread

Here is the background info though...

Background/fluff

As for the fluff on Atrum Inritus I mentioned earlier, I'm thinking of something like Tzeentch took interest in him, turning its will upon his mortal mind. Though he resisted, refusing with all his might, he could not hope to stand up to the might of Tzeentch. Jedediah Storm, Chief Librarian, hastily erected wards and chanted powerful incantations of purity and righteousness. With this new power, Atrum found within himself the inner-strength to shrug-off the call of the Ruinous Powers. However, there was a small part of him that was curious at the power that could be gained.. curious of what it would be like to serve only himself. Tzeentch, capricous and unknowable, decided to take that part of Atrum's mind, and made it physical. A copy of Atrum, bolstered by dark power to insane levels, who was completely against everything The Original stood for. These two identical yet so different beings, one holy, one not, fought a titanic battle before the entire third company. Though Atrum had much courage, his "twin" had been born with the strength of the warp. A killing blow would merely slow him down; a hit from him felt like an Autocannon. Atrum could not win, and was cast down, his body ravaged and severely damaged. Yet still he fought on, firing with pistol in hand as a last defiant act of faith. But as quickly as it had been born, the copy was whisked away by eldritch powers. Despite that near-fatal conflict, Atrum refused to be interred into a Dreadnought, insisting he was not badly wounded enough. Though it took many months, he eventually returned back to fighting-form. Though he had suffered dearly in the ordeal with his "copy", he came out of it - his faith had been tested to the utmost and he had not been found wanting. Although it pained him to say it, Tzeentch had actually helped him. It had removed all doubt about his faith, about the Emperor. About Mankind's manifest destiny to rule the universe. The very thing that sought to corrupt him had made him uncorruptable.


Company layout idea's
Also, I'm thinking that perhaps the company lay out is like this:

First Company - Veteran company - The Astartans - ~300 Space Marines - Captain Garus
Second Company - Battle company - The Kings of War - ~100 Space Marines - Captain Asherian
Third Company - Battle company - The Incorruptable - ~100 Space Marines Captain Inritus
Fourth Company - Battle company - ??? - ~100 Space Marines - Captain ???
Fifth "
Sixth "
Seventh - armoured company - The Ironhides - Assortment of Heavy armour - Captain ???


Basically, not giving two about the little blue book. One extra large Veteran company - allowing for 6 Elite choices in-game - Battle companies - no effect in-game - Seventh and eighth company - Armoured companies - Allows for 6 Heavy support choices - Nineth and Tenth companies - Scout companies - in-game effect: something to do with Scout Captain Bi'Mek, perhaps? Or maybe two scout squads for every 1 Troop slot.


All that allows for a very elite, very stealthy, or very heavy playstyle. Perhaps, as an army special rule, when making an army list you can choose to either double your number of elites or heavy support slots?

And perhaps, there are no assault squads, as such, but any Tactical squad may replace its standard armament of a boltgun (they shouldn't have pistols! They never did before!) with a CCW and Bolt pistol, and they may also take Jump packs, and if they do then they become Fast Attack.

So potentially we could see a Scout, Tank and Veteran heavy army forming from all this.


@Ironfront- I would probably like it if i could see it

@Ironfront- I do like it but like most of this project I am leaving it up to the people reading to pick a good one.
