Okey, you got me interested.

i'll work on it some more in about 30 minutes and i'll post some updates around 3PM

The War Store carries non-GW Green Stuff at a very reasonable price, but I think it'd still be too expensive to make an army out of it.

If you're doing good quality sculpts, I wonder if a caster would be willing to make molds and casts for you, especially if you were doing Guard where making a 10 man 'squad' then making 50 of each of them is not too far out of the question.

here are the updates:





























































still just the frames and yes i know these are a little big for 40k didnt realise they would be so big.

Lol, one of those skellies could say "In College my nickname was Tripod)

[/childishness]

whats up with the wire going straight down? 3 legs?

This is just a thought, instead of bending the wire twice to form the waste, why not bend it into a point. it will make the hips thinner and easier when you`re using GS later on

Hmm... wild guess, but are they going to turn into
Necron Centaur Pariahs?

idk, but i checked out his codex, now I cant wait to see what these look like when hes finished

no some of them will have robes others won't i trimmed them last night but i left them at home today so no working on them today
i posted it here inits infant days but i'll do what i can to get some of the background today

The Pulsara:

the pulsara are an alien race created aeons ago when the galaxy was still young, the ultimate weapon against the ancient evel know as necrons

OH good luck i cant wait to see what you make!

XhugglesX

omg mate i need to know more
if this was part of 40k like if GW made it an official 40k army i would totaly buy it

they have come once again to put an end to the necrons harvest once and for all. then, only after the necrons have been destroyed, they will have completed their charge from the old ones and be free. their small personal transports have been arriving for the past eight hundred years, landing on what the imperium would deem a death world. slowly they created small bands that roamed the worlds for many years.transports have been arriving more and more frequently and in greater numbers in the last twenty years and now there are confirmed sightings of larger much more hostile ships carrying thousands of armed pulsara ready to wage war.

the pulsara have tried many times to contact the imperium in peace but all attempts have escalated into a full fledge battle, mostly ending with the imperium picking up their limbs. after the battles the pulsara leave nothing but strange markers on the battle field.

the pulsara hate chaos and its creators the eldarthey believe that the galaxy would have been better off if the eldar were killed when the C'tan were unleashed. the pulsara know nothing of the tauand the tyranids because they left the galaxy soon after the fall of the eldar.

the galaxy has no record of the pulsara until recently, the eldar or the corrupted as the pulsara refer to them as, were extremely jelous of the puldara, the old ones most prized creation.

Make a story about their creation and put it into fluff section. This sounds great!

after the pulsara left, the eldar purged all knowledge of them from the galaxy, killing all that so much as mentioned the pulsara. Even the black library wasn't safe from their jelousy, they destroyed everything that had any refrence to the pulsara, and so the pulsara drifted from the galaxy's thoughts as a feather drifts from a bird's wing to the ground never to be thought of again... until now

the pulsara are very nearly immortal, each one living to be well over sixteen thousand years old,the only way one would die before its time would to be murdered, from sickness, or in battle.the pulsara have a very strange ability; at will a pulsara can warp time around itself letting it move faster than normal. Because it takes such enormous concentration to do this it would be impossible to do this during battle, so, the pulsara have found a way to imbibe a peice of equipment with their ability.





ambassador bloodfyre's journel
i began my sojourn nearly twenty pectors ago, being the first pulsara being willing to go back to our galaxy. my flight was uneventful, as i satyed in my transport's cockpit the entire time, having nothing to doas i approached the galactic plane that we have documented, nothing was there. curious, i decided to travel a little farther, towards the center of the galaxy. i was amazed at what i disovered, planets teeming with life, planets that we pulsara could not thrive on. i waited quite a while, then bored, moved onto finding a planet with the right kind of minerals needed to grow kelmora crystals.

i have found a planet and sent a signal back to general teresh, he said they have moved closer to the galactic plane ever since five pectors after i set out. he assured me that four squads of welber's templar were to arrive here within two pectors and were to be under my command. he also said that there were three transports of civilians on their way to help with building shelters.


the templar have arrived along with four hundred civilians. we have begun to make shelters to protect ourselves from the unforgiving climate.once finished with the shelters we will begin to grow kelmora crystals which we desprately need.

i received a message from general teresh saying that the fleet is less than a pector away and that they were sending a supply shipwith food and building materials. i shall welcome them greatly since our supplies are rapidly diminishing.

today a small group of those lifeforms that i observed on the planet came and attacked us today. they wore a strange bright blue armor that was unlike anything i have ever seen. they had many weapons that fired huge solid metal chunks that exploded as soon as they hit something. they were no match for the templar but they put up an amazing fight. i lost two templar that day but luckilly nothing was destroyed. after the battle we left a marker where each brave soul died with their names and howmany enemies they killed before they died

the supplies arrived one pector ago along with the fleet. we plan to finish the barracks and then move on to another planet to settle for the next fleet that is soon to come. we are eagerly awaiting our bretheren from the rest of the army.

i might do that and throw the others out.

ok i remembered the wire today so i'll work on them in some of my classes so i can sodder some more of them together. then i'll see if my art teacher will let me use some of his epoxy putty to sculpt some of them.

... You ARE nuts... I wish you the best of luck with your stickmen .

ok ive trimmed the "third leg" my friend says i neutered them ive got five of the models hips and legs adjusted but the other five's legs fell off so i have to resolder them on, im working on the hq for the army right now then i'll do a squad of fast attacks. i have to wait until my friend finishes the designs before i start sculpting.

after i get them sculpted i'll post the entire codex for people to use if they want.

sounds amasing
i cant believe you came up with such a good story
cant wait for the full codex anychance you could make it downloadable.

well i got laid off last night so i am going to have to put off buying the epoxy putty for about six weeks so dont worry about posting here any more. i'll start a blog as soon as i get back to work. if any one has any suggestions for some background i am open to ideas because i am stumped just pm me and i'll start an article about them and whoever i pick will be listed as special thanks and/or writers of the codex.

thank you for the support. i just wish i hadnt gotten laid off so i could continue with this thread, but, i just isnt going to happen.

sorry
