Its very surprising to see a yellow army that is not IF. This army looks amazing! Very well done and I can't wait to see more of it!

Great job bud. Looking forward to updates!!

The new FW white scars helms would give the command squad a uniqu look that fits the Mongol feel you have going on. Torsos might not be bad either, none of the chapter icons would be hard to remove.

He looks awesome. You did him proud with those bits.

Yep, that is exactly what I am thinking. It has 5 different helms that would be perfect for veterans.

I want to do a bit more with my bike command squad to make it stand out. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to use for their storm shields. I'm also trying to decide if I want grav guns that are mounted on their bikes. Most likely I will save that squad for last.

I'm close to finishing my 2nd bike squad. Just need to finish the attack bike and I will be done. I'll be posting pictures of them soon.

I put together my librarian and command squad.







I put down some extra money to try and do the command squad justice. Too often I see them and not much is done to make them look like veterans.

Looks fantastic, can I request a closer look at the Chapter master? Those mods definitely deserve some close ups

Damn these are some nice Marines.

And that Knight, WOW!

I got the imperial knight in the mail today. Extremely pleased with the quality of service from frontline gaming. They did a great job

Oh man this thing.
I can only imagine how long it took you.

Sure. I love the guy. I used to play a lot of necromunda and that got me really into making my own characters for 40k. He is kinda the standard chapter master but I like the fact I could make something unique for a chapter without much established backstory.

I've only played on game with him but it was pretty cool. I made an allied army with my friend's Crimsons fists. My chapter master took down a knight in close combat and then had a last stand with Pedro Cantor.


Tried to make sure I had something unique to model to shield eternal.

I had this commissioned through frontline gaming. I really wanted a knight but didn't want paint one one. It also sped up the process of getting a full army on the table. I spend a lot of time on each of these marines.

Speaking of which, I'm hoping to have around 1850 done by this summer so I can take these guys to Asutin Wargames Con.

That Chapter Master is gorgeous. Really well done

Chapter Master looks freaking awesome.

Finished my 2nd squad of bikes. Next up is a rhino and my command squad.

Still working on this.... I took two attempts at painting a rhino and wasn't happy so I went back to painting bikes. You can never have enough bikes.




I started working on my command squad. I used the combi grav bit to make a conversion on the biker bolters. I wanted these guys modeled so it looks like they could actually drive, hold a shield, and shoot a grav gun. It's important! Look to see this squad finished in the next couple weeks.

Finished the command squad

Started working on scouts today. My plan is to eventually run the stormbringer squadron and hunting force. So my main focus will be landspeeders and scouts for the remainder of summer.



I used a head swap from pig iron productions. I like these helmets because they remind me of this guy.

Very nice looking arm. As I am doing Fists, I know the pain of yellow. I'm still trying to find a good yellow I like that is quick enough that I can do a whole army and not get bogged down to much.

I like the pig iron scout heads. I do like DOOM

Nice work on the bikes. I also highly approve of the Doom themed helmets.

Finished a Rhino this week. I sure don't envy anyone painting up a battle company. The Rhino is so simple it's difficult.




Really happy with how the chapter symbol came out. It's too bad I don't have more stuff to put the large decals on.

I'm looking to wrap up this project this summer. The last few things I want to paint for this army:
6 Scout Bikers
5 Scouts with Shotguns
1 Landspeeder Storm
1 Attack Bike with Multi Melta

Rhino looks good, especially the chapter symbol. Excellent work.

Very nice BoltStein, love the Chapter Master in particular. Probably been asked before, but Forgeworld bike? And kudos for the crisp yellow paint jobs on everything

I had my librarian commission completed last week. I had him painted up by frontline gaming. I also used them to do my freeblade knight last summer.


I'm especially pleased with how to squiggles came out. Every librarian needs good squiggles.

Almost done with my doom-scouts. I'll post them up in a few days.

Finished up my doom scouts last week. They are going to need a landspeeder storm painted up at some point. Working on scout bikers at the moment.

Completed the scout bikers last night. They ended up being an odd tax required to take the hunting forced formation but I ended up really enjoying painting them. I feel like they rounded out the army and gives it more of a fluffy look. Used the doom helmets again. It's dangerous to ride without a hemet

Looking pretty killer!
