hey guys,
im looking to start another project among my eradicus crusader army.
i wanna do a vanilla marines army, so i have narrowed it down to too.
so let me know what you think...

novamarines

or

holwing griffons

so vote, which one do you think looks better.

**SilverMK2**

You don't see as many Nova's as you do HG's, so go for Nova's

**gooch359**

sory but i dont realy like the quater colour look

i recon! but aside from popularity, which one looks better?

i knew people would say this, so i added the "they both suck" option.

I don't like the Griffons, they kind of look like clowns IMHO
The novamarines on the other hand are very cool looking, I think you should go for them.

**TungstenMonkey**

I'd say Nova's

im with UltraHawk. the howling griffons look like clowns or jesters. Novamarines look better

**WhiteRaven**

Definitely Novamarines.

White is definitely a higher degree of difficulty and looks amazing when done well.

Go nova, too many howling griffons around...

**menziez**

wow.
howling griffons = 4 votes
novamarines = 31 votes

anyone know the painting method for these guys lol?

**Accolade**

I would say Novamarines, one of the major reasons being the relative abundance (and I do mean relative) of Howling Griffons in existence...I've seen a couple of Howling Griffons but never Novamarines, so I think that is influencing people a fair amount.

Plus, they'll look pretty awesome when all painted up, though I unfortunately don't have much painting advice. I imagine the base color for the white would look something like the final blue of the armor though

**anticitizen013**

I'm not a huge fan of the quartered pattern either, but I think if it's done cleanly it has a lot of potential. Having said that, Novamarines are way cooler than Howling Griffons

**Corey85**

Novas, hands down.

**cygnnus**

Novas... Definitely Novas!

And, yes... The picture sucks. And, yes... I'm not done with their shoulder pads.

Vale,

**Breotan**

I tend to dislike most schemes involving red and yellow.

**Dragonchef**

I'd go with the Nova's, is a cleaner looking scheme and if done well can be really nice and appealing to the eye.

**anticitizen013**

Cygnnus, those look awesome! See what I (we) mean? When the scheme is done cleanly it looks amazing

**Mizzri**

I would vote for Novas as well.

**epil**

novas, dont see as many and blue/white looks better then red/yellow imo

Thanks. Found a few better pix...

But, yeah... I like the Novas more than the Howling Griffons. Although either way, you have a nigh unique army!

Valete,

**JSK-Fox**

I love quartered marines, so I like both choices. But, because the backstory of Novamarines is awesomesauce, I chose Novamarines.

**Lord of battles**

SPACE WOLVES

**Lennysmash**

If I had to choose between the two I would say Nova, but honestly would love to see someone with your skill do something like these guys.

Just because I've never seen an army of these guys.
