I've been playing a lot of xenos and daemon armies lately, so I felt it was about time to get back to some good old Astartes action.
With the release of the red wake and the condemptor dread from ForgeWorld, I finally knew what chapter I wanted to play, the Carcharodons Astra, or Space sharks.
I love scenic bases, and the description in the Badab war part II, of the Sharks massacring the Mantis Warriors, sounded like something I wanted to reproduce.
2 Figs built so far, Tyberos and the Condemptor Dread.
Tyberos, about deliver the coup de grâce to a separatist Mantis warrior.
I like The Red Wake's helmet, but I think his victim's last sight should be Tyberos' pale face, black eyes, and sharpened teeth. Head is made from a marauder horseman head and the mouth from a possessed marine head. Idea totally ripped off another carchardons plogger
Not all the bases will have mantis warriors on them, just the big ones.
The Condemptor. How cool is this Dread? Super poseable, and I magnetized the right arm for many diff. weapons options.
Another poor mantis warrior
Custom Heavy twin linked bolter arm, just for fun (does anyone use a TL Bltr?)
The kit is highly detailed
And so it begins! I will be running lots of Terminators, scouts, land speeder storms, and assault marines in this force, using vanilla marine codex with Tyberos chapter tactics.

im like'en what you got going on here man awsome converions
On another note you should put a mantis warrior in one of the dreds CCW. And have the storm bolter blowing his guts out the power pack but thats justs my two cents. keep it up

Awesome work with the Contemptor! Mine is sat in the back room at work, whilst I waited for inspiration to strike for the base and pose. I may have to steal your idea and order myself a 2nd pack of the Marine casualties...

So I had some free time this long weekend, knuckled down, and got some base coating done!
The army as it stands, first base coat, still lots to do. The recent addition of scouts helps.
These ironically were scouts I had started painting as Astral Claws, just before the badab books came out, based on BoLS' AC color scheme ( a sand yellow with tiger stripe patterns). Now they serve the loyalists!
I was worried Tyberos would have too cluttered of a base with the prone Mantis Warrior, but I think once he is in a big meaty squad of terminators, itll look better as a centrepiece model.
This model gets sexier the more time I spend painting it. After seeing the super condemptor with 2 gats and some missiles, I may need a couple...
Different view of the Heavy bolter. SOOOO many random bitz used here folks, so many...
I magnetized the arm just above the elbow, where it meets the shoulder. After seeing that heavy conversion beamer and plasma cannon, I'm glad I did!
Tasting blood, the sharks move in for the feeding Frenzy!!!

porkchop- that would be killer, I guess I'll save that for the next dread!
Ablackram- Tyberos? You bet. its a marauder head, possessed mouth, and plasticard tubing, neckbrace, and robot ear covering thingers.
Everyone else- thanks for the replies, I pretty much fell for this chapter as soon as I saw machine priest from B&C's Sharks blog.

Really spectacular work on the Dreadnought and Tyberos. Love the dorsal fin on the dread, too.

Wow, I love it! Great scheme, great conversions... The only thing I feel is missing, and you are probably getting to it anyways, are white accents to really make the grey pop. The head on the contemptor really adds a fantastic feel.
