I've recently succumbed to the dark side and after 7 years of resistance, begun playing Space Marines. But not just any Astartes would do. Pretty Marines, bane of all things ugly, immediately stood out to me and I had to run with them.

I quickly concocted myself a list of them I'd like to use, with my own twist. I decided on a company of Pretty Marines all encased in Tactical Dreadnought Armor.

I bring to you, Glamourwing. A Deathwing army clad in roses and perfect hair, flawless lavender armor, and power fists and lightning claws a'plenty to bring a beautiful monsoon death to the trecherous (and ugly!) enemies of mankind.




Ignore the chip on the front guys base, forgot to touch it up before getting the first pictures.

I'll update more later this week when I finish up the first squad of lightning claw Termi's. And hopefully with some better pictures. Need to set up a little neutral area to take them in.

I like it!

Reminds me of hello kitty marines

replace the storm bolters with hair dryers

I dont hate them.

-- at the very least they are painted well!

Woah, those guys are pretty

Haha, the possiblities are endless. Replace CC weapons with pillows!

They kind of look like bars of soap

Random observation, the thing above the front guy's head looks like the nvidia logo. you should replace the swords with flowers, or candy cane, I also like the idea of converting the storm bolters into hairdryers.

anyways... I love them, bet you cant wait for them to mince into battle

my Bloodwing force (of the Blood Angel's successor chapter, the Sons of Sanguinius) are quite jealous of your flawless hair! we prefer our emo black goth armor, though.

Thanks for the comments!

I'm thinking a large rose might be workable for the Librarian's force weapon, or Chaplain's Crozius if nothing else. Still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do for my second HQ. Have to get my Apothecary and Belial equivilant all made up first though. Especially the Belial, he's needed to actually play the army after all. And the Prince of Glamourwing has to be the most beautiful of them all, so it'll be a bit on him.

Oh, and the Nvidia thing was supposed to be a rose. I touched the greenstuff accidentally and didn't notice until it had cured that I had mashed it down. It still looks ok from playing distance, so I left it. Might pop it off and re-do it when I'm done with a few more squads though.


Warboss, they'd be happy to give your Bloodwing force some style advice. They know that nothing is worse than first dropping down onto a planet and your hair won't do that flippy thing you want, or flow in the wind just right. It's debilitating.

As a Angry Marine player you are my nemesis sir. I would love to get a photo of our two forces facing each other. Are you going to Adapticon this year.

Here are my Angry Marines. 2250 points and growing.

Now the only thing missing from the online zaniness of the great Angry Marines is that special whirlwind with the launchers, and extra side mounted launchers loaded with assault marine to fire them at the enemy!

Oh to see two Internet armies like the Angry Marines and the Pretty Marines go toe to toe would be awesome indeed!

Awww, they're Disney Princess'!!!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

What a bunch of starfags

Dude you should bring that to a tournament.

Here is a story from the internet.

The records of this dire moment in Imperial history were (until I came upon them) known only to the two Space Marine Chapters that took part in the skirmish. However, only by putting the two records together is the truth found.

The Pretty Marines tell of a conflict fraught with glory against the odds, and of dire betrayal: "Before the sortie against our enemy our glorious Chapter Master graced us with a speech, before the resplendent lines of Brother-Marines sparking under the twin suns he told of beautiful victory, of the fates of our enemies. As one we cheered, then awaited his inevitable dance number. From the skies fell a drop pod, smashing into our forward lines and engulfing the area with thick dust. It took us only a moment to clear the air with our blow-dryers, but it was a moment too late as we saw the Chapter Master fallen..."

The Angry Marines tell the other side of the story, though in far less words due to a lacking in vocabulary beyond many four letter cusses. Hastily inserted into the annals of their Chapter, glory is simply a picture with the words "OWNED" across it, and the image of the Pretty Marines' Chapter Master unconscious on the ground, a crude mustache drawn on his face with paint, and what appears to be a set of testicles on his forehead.

So began the greatest feud in Imperial history.

Hahaha, finally some appropriately angry responses! Unfortunately most of my local gaming group doesn't know of the pretty/angry marines. Makes them slightly less fun, albeight very slightly.

I don't believe I'll be making Adepticon, unfortunately. I'd love to, but I think I'd be out of luck on a room and entry by the time I could get that money saved up... Unless by some fluke some of my local gaming buddies who are more into the tournement scene then me are going, and I can split costs with them. They've offered before for other events.

FAAABUUULLLLOUUUSSSSS!!!!

(Needs more sparkles and sequins, though)

Sounds like the emperor's children pre-heresy. You could totally play them as such.

Idea: if you have biker models, make them ride ponies and/or unicorns instead of bikes. They look so much adorable that way.

Make sure to varnish them with gloss varnish, though. And use glitter glue for the gluing the bases (some parts of the glitter will still peek out even under the sand). You can also use the glitter glue to write cursive letters on the vehicles.

perty

* looking for a date with some hottie Astartes*



Opposites attract?

not too bad in the paint job, the subject matter though... lol

That's so wrong, yet so cool looking. Nice job! They look like they're just daring an enemy to make a comment.

i wouldnt insult even a dandy of a space marine wearing termie armour, they look good, like halfway to a slanesh halloween party, i think painting in the eyes when you touch up will make a big difference as well.

I could see my 12yo daughter putting these down on the gaming table to take on someone at a tournament - preferably a dark and spiky army like Chaos or DE. The reactions would be priceless.

Hippies!! Yaaaay!

Immensely entertaining thread- thank you!

I Freeking LOVE this!!!
