@cosmic pixie: I was thinking that i use veterant rules for marines, because there properly trained unlike there imperial enimy's, plus marines have better armour imo so they are gonna have the grenadiers doctrine. And i thought that odst will be stormtroopers, because they have deep stricke.

cosmic pixie wrote:Amazing, but for marines do normal Guardsmen rules and for ODSTs do Vet rules. That would be EPIC

EPIC? Don't you mean LEGENDARY?

Hah, I stand corrected. I hadn't thought about storm troopers but that does sound LEGENDARY

Haha! Legendary indeed!

seeing you're progress, i think i'll start work on the grunts again, i kind of lost interest and moved back to my chaos army for a while, but now i want to make more covenant! good work.

sheila come back to me........
Dude I knew you could pick in chicks in a tank.....

Hey there every one

Now, the sniper rifle is still on the factory floor being built, but i found time to do an assault rifle (lasgun) now im thinking once its all done and cleand, that im going to make a mould of it and cast it in ressen so i dont have to green stuff 24 more cadian lasguns. any comments or critisism is more than welcome about it also please inform me of what moulding and casting involves

Also big change in plans, forge world is proving to be anyoing so im going to be using converted cadians instead of converted elisians, this means more work and patience but its worth it and it's cheaper, thanks for reading.

The cadian 45th

You might want to look into the old OOP Halo Actionclix models. The weapons are pretty compatible with 40K, and would make a perfect starting point for casting. There are only a few models in the series with assault rifles (one or two halo 3 promo master chiefs), but sniper rifles and battle rifles are more common.

Hay there every one

Ive done a little work on the project, once the gs is dry's ill file and clean these but here they are.

I like were your heading with all of this only gripe is try and clean up the gs a little more. By that I mean maybe file it a little to smooth it all out.

@empchild if you noticed i said that in the text i will file it down.

The cadian 45th

hey atleast ur producin something ive been waiting for some more unsc stuff

Hey there everyone

A little work on my end, now ive started to detail the AR but only the left side. Also introducing my first marine shoulder pad but its still not finished as i need to add the little metal piece that goes under the shoulder pad.

The AR was an absoulute to detail and its not even done on this side, also for those of you who are more observationelle how do i fix the butt of the rifle without making it to chunky (eg. the butt is one with the rest of the rifle)

c&c is more than welcome.

Hey! Don't sweat it man! It's looking awesome.

Hello TC45. I found these pics of halo marine armour. I hope this will help you in your project.

@munch munch!: thanks for the kind words and reference pics, but if you take a look at the halo 3 marine shoulder pads, those are the ones im going for.

but other than that these pics will help all the same, thanks

The cadian 45th

Oh. Well I hope this picture helps.It's a marine from halo 3.

MOAR!

Aside from "awesome, can't wait to see more" I have only one thing to say

SHIEEEEEEELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

I <3 Red Vs. Blue

Purr-leeez make Caboose!

S_P

Looks great so far.

ok, it's been ages since i abandoned this to go do stuff, a few months. however recent events have spurred me into motion : next weekend i shall be casting molds for the grunts and elites at cadian45th's house and even start work on the elites heads now that i know how im gonna make them. by the prophets and the great journy, i will finish this! oh, and im going to use eldar rules for the covenant now. i can fit more ghosts and grunts in that way, hell i can get more everything in.

THIS THREAD= PURE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Cadian 45th i found this website a long time ago http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/pillar_of_autumn/index.html
it may help, remember though that this army was created based on halo 1 stuff before the new codex so the chimera is a pelican. the website is a bit old but still relavent.

this is my opinon but i belive that spartan III program spartans i.e. spartans like noble team from Halo: Reach.
would make better stormtroopers than ODST

veterans= ODST (sure they cant deepstrike so you could write fluff that the warpstorm was affecting the use of ODST drop pods.)

infantry squad= standard marines

Conscripts=civilans forced to fight or volenteers (there are civies in the halo 3 level, the storm, you meet up with them after fighting the scarab, they are only armed with pistols IIRC but coyld be given other weapons aprt from engery swords and brute shots [thank you halopedia] hey its your army, you can make up whatever BS you want (not balistic skill the other BS)

you could even use penal legions as prisoners or even captured imperials forced to fight.

this is just my 2 cents. hope it helps

A link to halopedia for any inspiration http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


EDIT: hmm for some reason im not seeing the examples i uploaded oh well here is the link to them on halopedia (bottom of the page) http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Voi_Factory_Workers so i have deleted them here on dakka

Try making a needler i would love to see one of the posessed by a guardsman

Thanks ~UnDeAd~

Hey, quick thought on the elites heads. Have you thought about Tyranid Warrior Heads? With a little filing, and some GS, you could probably make them look pretty good.
Sick project, Guys, can't wait to see more.
Cheers,
Gear

Warrior heads would be way too big.

Nice work on the GS but Hasslefree Miniatures make these which might save you some time?



[sorry if this has already been mentioned ]

some grunts will be armed with needlers.




almost update but not quite- this weekend me and cadian45th are getting together (finally, its been a while) and we'll be beginning a MASS SCULPTATHON during which he'll attempt to finish the scorpion, start the marines, and cast some molds, and ill be making weapons, and more infantry, then casting molds, and if i get the parts, jackals too. this weekend is gonna be awesome, se keep your eyes peeled for an update.


(disclamer; we do not condone the use of peeling tools on eyes)

Hey there every one its been a long time, and in that time i have done nothing on this project, due to my normal guardsmen army and blood angels and life in general getting in the way.

@notprop: thank you for the suggestion just i want this to look as authentic as possible and that gun will be hard in my eyes to make it authentic, but thank you any ways.

The cadian 45th

I was thinking, the covenent would fit into the daemon codex fairly well.... Bloodletters/elites with power swords, horrors/grunts, beasts of nergal/hunters, furies/those bug things, blood crushers/brutes, tzeench harolds with bolt of change/jackels, ( or you could field a Jackel model as the horror that has the bolt....) if you wanted you could also make like a couple of difrent weppons and arm them difrently for even more options, (elites with needelers/jump packs=flamers, elites with grenades/plas rifles=daemonettes, brutes with grav hammers=fiends of slaanesh, elites with two swords=seekers) and if you wanted to make the arbitor( slaaneshi Harold with transfixing gaze(enemys know and fear him), daemonic gaze(plas rifle) and unholy might) or the brute boss guy(herald of khorn with iron hide(3+ armor save cuz he was tough as all hell), and unholy might) you could do that to. Tha only real issue that I can see is the daemons lack of aircraft.... You might be able to get around that with soul grinders as wraiths, and screamers or flaimers as ghosts.

Soul grinders would be a better fit with scarbs, mostly because both are uber strong walkers.
