Disjointed Entity wrote: Fancy giving him some Dual Wields?

What are Dual Wields? I'm guessing two guns (bolt pistol and plasma, that's what one of my precious Fallen wield) but I've neve come across the term (I'm fairly new to 40k but not painting or modeling). I have a fully painted Chaos Power Fist (in the colours of the Salamanders) with the chaos star filled off. And I made a mock up (without legs so I didn't bother photographing it) with the Sarge gripping the head of a stealer in his PW and holding a bolt pistol in the other hand. And another mock up without the head. With the head he looks more 'angry' with out the head in his power fist he looks more commanding. I could also possibly sacrafice one of my many 'nids and have him being stood on by the sarge.

A sarge making a stand (geddit?) on a nid would be pretty awesome.
And by Dual Wields I meant two pistols possibly? Although one pistol and a power fist would look pretty badass.

The choice is yours, build away!

Right, sorry, but just to clarify we don't base them. Correct? Or do we just leave them completely baseless for now?

Imp. Monkey

Either. It would be understandibly easier if the base was left off, but if it is already on then that's not a problem.

I've decided to add the head to the PF and GS some gore (or maybe even a spine [cue evil laugh]) to be coming from the 'stealer head.

I have a broken hormoguant that a friend gave me so I'll add the beast to his base (which will possibly be 40mm now).

So, i'm wondering, what colours do you want me to paint the nid with.

Actually, if you pick a scheme that you think works really well with nids, then give me the painting guide, I'll copy that.

Also guys, don't send anything to me for a week or so cause I'm out of the house.

Sorry!

EDIT: [Posted in wrong thread]

Haha, fair enough my friend. I did get a little confused!

Guys, we have our 10 Marines all Chalked up!
Harms66 has agreed a Lycan Marine (Space Wolf Splinter force)

So, please post your WIP/PIP progress in theis thread!
Thanks to the community!

I have a WiP of the Power Fist for the Sergeant.



And the backpack (unpainted)

Ok guys slight change of plan, you'll still be getting your spec weapon but it be an Ultra-smurf not an Evocati.

@ Gathering Storm - Looking good! Is that a Beserker pack I see there?
@Lennysmash -what's happened buddy? I was so looking forward to this Evocati idea.

Tbh the model I was going to use I just love too much. The replacement is just as good don't worry. Its a moderately converted plasma gunner and took a little while to get just right, but I think you'll like it.

@Disjointed Entry: Nope, my brother says it's a standard Chaos Marine backpack with the vents cut off and replaced with Las dragon heads.

Ahh I understand that mate. We all got models like that

@LoC, Touche'. Looking forward to seeing it assembled.

Right guys, Porkuslime has sent the Marine to me already!
He did however forget pics, but I'll get them done when \i get it.

Ok then, I managed to get some free time in between projects to get this lil guy completed. It our squad's special weapons master, Bob.




Hope you guys like him, ttfn.

Bob - Jack of All Trades, Master of None.

Haha, looking good mate! Thanks once again, I look forward to having them all assembled now

I have some pictures of the Salamander Veteran Sergeant. I need to get an =I= shoulder pad for him but other than that its finished.






I'll PM you for mailing details.

I've also been working on my Space Marine the, Concecrator. I've only finished modelling it (unlike my brother who has painted his).
The copy and paste on my computer isn't working so I'll get my brother to post the image.

Here it is, the Concecrator.

Disjointed Entity wrote:@ Lennysmash - Make it a special Weapon, otherwise we'll end up with a bunch of Bolter armed fools!

@ Sageheart - Not at all! I don't class myslef anywhere near GD class painting, I simply wanted to showcase this project to the UK public.
@ Khargrim - I vote the Celebrants, if you feel up for it!

oh i see! in that case i would have been down but you have them all now

Gathering Storm - Hate tell you this but that can't be a Consecrator mate they all wear MkVI Corvus armour. How about making it another one DA successor chapter though?

Lennysmash wrote:Gathering Storm - Hate tell you this but that can't be a Consecrator mate they all wear MkVI Corvus armour. How about making it another one DA successor chapter though?

I'll just behead him and find a MkVI head instead or LoG can just go paint as 'a another' DA successor as you suggested. Anyway its not my problem it's Lord of Change's as my Salmander Marine is done and dusted.

Also, is there anyone who I could get 2 =I= pad's off of (or could send them to Disjointed Entity to be attached onto the two marines)?

@Disjointed Entity, as you can see I ended up modeling the marine with a custom Hand Flamer. I would suggest running it as a combi-flamer unless you use the BA codex for the Marines.

Thanks all you guys, this project is really getting off the ground now!

All of his reminded me I've got a Marine to photograph.

Gah, essays.

I feel your pain/displeasure

It's my second week back at school and I've justed finished writing a 1000 word Art Essay (Higher Art) for tomorrow, a 1300 word English essay that is part of the Higher couse (and will affect my marks if I it up) for tuesday and a French essay for Wednesday. Happy days.

I have however managed to change the shoulder pad to the correct colour (black) and I've repositioned him slightly. Unfortunately my brothers DA successor marine has vanished and I'm having trouble finding a replacement (all I have left are two armless metal BA Death Company). Also, on that note, does the sarge look heroic enough?

Haha, Scottish exams, got to love them. I have to do an english essay sometime this week and then all sorts of other bits :( Scant time for painting. managed to basecoat the armour on mine however.
Oh and disjointed entity are you wanting seriously scarred marines??

Imp. Monkey

I can add an imperial fist to the collection for you if you like I'll just have to check if I have a death watch shoulder pad lay around some where I'll post later when i have rummaged through my bits box.

@Gathering Storm - A2s are just the pits. Too much to do, what with Uni applications and all.
Bad news about your bro's Marine, hope he turns up alright!
And i think the Sarge looks the most heroic of all!

@Imp Monkey - Yeah, it'd look pretty cool to have a proper grizzled marine in the mix, not just a bunch of pretty boys!

@Listrel - Thank man go for it!

And that brings the Total up to 10! We've done it guys!

Now for an even more challenging benchmark ... who fancies painting some nids?

So this is what I just quickly put together from the bits box I'll clean up those lines some more and get some paint on it soon (tomorrow probably). I can change it around if you like I have some heavy and special weapons if you want i could use them instead of the standard bolter let me know.

Disjointed Entity wrote:Now for an even more challenging benchmark ... who fancies painting some nids?

I've painted mine already .

On a serious note, I could send you another two broken termagaunts (only one sythe claw missing so they make perfect victims) that I ...er ...a ...appropriated from my brothers friends who honestly didn't need them.

I also have spare Warrior and Stealer heads that I don't need as well as lots of Stealer hands.

Once i've done my current commission Ill do you something pretty to add to the collection should you wish it
