Not only have I been working on an Angry Marines Army, but I am getting ready to build an Angry Marines fleet, complete with the flagships "the Litany of Litany's Litany" and "Maximum F". Knowing that many Imperial ships are not painted exactly like the ground troops, I am unsure on how to paint these ships.

Any thoughts or ideas on what I can do?

here are some quick color ideas that I whipped up:


like my other thread, I will post images as soon as I finish them. ideas and comments are greatly appreciated.

Obviously, you need to add a fist as the ramming tip and at the end have tiny chain blades coming off. Duh...

"From the fires of Betrayal unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favored Son of Chaos, all praise be given to him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the Boon of Pain, to turn the Galaxy red with the blood, and feed the hunger of the Gods."

C, but the fist on the ramming tip is genius. Do it.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands

Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.

The Litany of Litany's Litany and Maximum F*** were depicted as using dark hull colors, but overall most chapters use chapter colors for their fleets. I would go with C.

Chalk up one more vote for C. It will be immediately recognizable from across a room that you're playing with an Angry fleet.

If you can find it, the old Warhammer Siege battering ram had a nice rock fist bit, would work perfectly as a prow.

All of the above suggestions are marvelous. I also have to vote C for a paint scheme - it definitely seems more "angry" colored (The red and black bases are just way too dull, yellow is very bold). Also, a huge fist for the prow of the ship is brilliant.

Yea, C for sure. It may or may not be how fleets are normally painted, but anyone will know that its an angry marine fleet just looking at it. And yea, middle finger, and chainswordchainswords everywhere. Think almost orky/angry when adding the spikes and such on there.

I havnt said it this week, so I love the Angry Marines lol

Lol, this is an awesome concept. You should definitely give it a bumper sticker with angry words -that don't circumvent the language filter-

It should have a giant chainsword that hangs underneath it so that it can just fly over other ships and cut them in half.

Also, Option C and everything else posted above.

option c. Also I think it would be funnier to have a hand hold a baseball bat with a nail through it on the front. A fist is angry, a baseball bat is angrier
