and i ordered a Ravenwing Battleforce yesterday so when that arrives ill be adding some speed to my Chapter...

Thanks for taking the time to check out my Chapter, im working on fluff to with them, let me know your thoughts...

jim..

Sharp color scheme. The orange with yellow highlights really pops in my opinion. I also like the white shoulder guards and backpack highlights. It adds to the overall bright appearance of the army.

I am curious about the grey wings, crosses, etc... What was your reasoning behind choosing grey? Black seems too Halloweenie, white is probably too bright, a metallic would probably draw the eye away from the rest of the model, but what about mixing in some red, orange, and yellow to make the wings look like they are burning? I am just curious if you played around with any other colors.

Good work!

Well the Insignia is going to be red so didnt want to much red on the model, but i played around on Bolterandchainsword.com space marine editor and grey was the colour i thought went best..

Good work!

Very nice scheme you picked out there.

But Angels Inferno sounds like it should be a BA sucessor... And I am in no way biased to BA.. honest

Haha thanks man,

In the fluff what im writing for them im basing as a second founding chapter from the Salamander's....

I like the colors.

All the models look nice, but unfortunately you can't have a Relic Blade and a gun, a Relic Blade is a two handed close combat weapon.

L33tninja you stole my point . I love that scheme, very bold and fresh. Loving the army too, very troop basted stuffed with tac squads, just how i like it Great work m8

Ah Salamanders, The most acceptable of the Vanilla Marines, At least its not another Ultramarines or missing primarch sucessor!!

Kudos!

Also, I think you can have a gun and a relic blade, You just dont gain extra attacks for having a pistol or second CCW.

Great colors and good looking army, I just dont get that you have PF in Dev squad, they have 48" range.

the scheme looks really good,the colours look sharp and clean particularly the white.great work keep it up

Of course you can have a Relic Blade and a Weapon, its in the options for a SM captain..

Thanks guys for the great support, makes me feel wecolme to Dakka...

@Ruzto: i know im gonna remove the powerfist from the Dev squad...

That's pretty slick! Nice coverage on the orange too, that can be hard to pull off that smoothly. That terminator especially looks REALLY nice.

Nice Jim, can't wait to see the figs as they get painted!

I'm aware it's an option but there is a section in the SM codex that explains how the weapons work. (not on the back profile page)

I like the terminator

I love the color scheme! They're like Imperial Creamsicles!

he niece clean coulor scheme (that has too sound cool). normaly i am not a fan of clean painted war mini's i think it looks a bit strange (but then again we are playing with little plastic toys) but too get too my point i like yours a lot. how did you do those straaight like highlits on the sides of your modelss.

greets Fatty

Lovely stuff mate!

Wow you are making me really like the orange. At first I was not sure but now I am sold. Keep up the good work.

Ok guys not had much time to do a lot of modelling, but i have done some,

i have made a Librarian scratch build from different kits, i very happy with him but please tell me what you guys think...

Brother Librarian Zahreal...



Thanks jim..

Looks great. Although for salamander successors, kinda weird having them sport stuff from DA. Not that robes cant be non DA, and they work well for sergeants/etc, but I think they'll end up burning off all of them mid battle!

On the topic of relic blades, any character can have any configuration as long as it follows the profile. I could have 2 SS on my captain if i wanted!

Holy crisp paint job Batman!

Your paints layed down nicely. Looking good so far

Dude, that is a hefty start you have. I really like the color scheme of the army. Please tell me you paid more than 7.99 for that ven dread? If you didnt...that is a freakin steal!!! Cant wait to see your progress and more pics as your army continues to develop.

Ha yeah i paid alot more then £7.99 for the dread, i was just using one of my sons shoe boxs for leverage..

Yeah it does seem abit strange but i just love the robes and im only using them on the Sergeants, Captains, etc..

I'm with you on the robes, really like where this is going. Are you going to make a funky counts-as Hestan?

Personally I must say I'm not a fan of orange for marines myself, although saying that you have executed it exceptionally well. As far a the models go themselves I must say they are looking very good, especially the libby conversion.

For your standard bearer I think you should definitely look into getting your hands on the Empire general standard, its been done a million times before but it really would fit with you force exceptionally well.

Very nice work, if only my painting was up to that standard. Ill be watching.....

Very nicely done, good clean paint job, and the orange looks really nice.

The robes are interesting twist, but i like them.

Good job

Yeah i plan to make a counts as for all the characters...
