This, right here, is a thing of beauty.

The dedication to a plan, and the execution of all the tasks to achieve your vision (up to this point in time!) are inspiring.

Never will I attempt this goal, but my drive for a company of my own has been empowered by your work.

Outstanding job.

Many thanks - and congratulations on the steps in your journey.

Thank you kindly, I appreciate it. With new heresy plastic on the horizon I maybe adding odds and ends sooner then I thought.

One word or warning. It always starts with just one company, then before you know it you are 3 companies in and think might as well just do the entire chapter. After that you realise you are well past the "normal" codex alloted 1000 marines. Also you loose about a decade and half or more. At least if a friend asks for some support in a match, you can ask how many companies?

This is awesome thanks for the share!

No worries, mate - I've plenty other projects to distract me!

Now you need 1000 primaris marines. Better get started.

Wow, this is amazing.

Not likely. I may add new varients here and there of Primaris Marines under the Gilded colour scheme. I still prefer my first born marines even if they end up getting replaced completely by Primaris. However with the potential release of Plastic Horus Heresy kits/box sets, There could end up being a an extra company or two. That said though still have the sisters and Custodes projects I would like to look at, as well as adding some Vehicles to the chapter.

I have to resurrect this thread to say fantastic job. day dreaming about owning a 1,000 man chapter (even though I am a chaos collector lol) and this brought me here.

awesome paint jobs and really enjoy at the variety and some of the customizations you have done. furthermore really enjoy the lore , thanks for sharing! I love the Morrowind reference an immediate +1000 on a +10,000 job. (for further heartfelt compliments i wish to add too i like your attitude in general towards collecting and rules, etc. another +1000 for 'firstborn' preference)

Don't ever feel bad about the motorpool. In real life marines are supposed to either board the enemy and kill (hence your terminators, perfect for large spaceborne engagements be it on space hulks or craftworlds) or quick in and quick out shore actions. all the treadhead nonsense is for the imperial guard!

Thank you kindly. Hope that one day you can finish a chapter even if it is chaos. Start "small" with a company then work up form there.

Glad you enjoyed the lore, having responded to to that background question had me sort of solidify aspects of it which was nice.

As an update there will be an additional company that will be added to the chapter. It will be Mk.VI Corvus Armor themed thanks to the release of the Heresy box starter sets. This will also see the addition of more contemptor and leviathan dreadnoughts and a pair of spartan assault tanks. Of course 1st company will be moving to 320 terminators. The paint scheme for this company with fall inline with the original blue/white of the forgeborn and not the metallic gilded primaris. i will also be looking at trying weathering and wear across the company. This all said though, it will not be started for probably close to 12-24 months. Currently working on a bunch of 3rd party Sororitas which I would like to have finished by April-June. After this I have a whole bunch of fantasy style miniatures to paint up, plus will be experimenting with various painting techniques that could help with the chapter.

I don't ever really feel too bad about the motor pool due to the amount of dreadnoughts, and the fact that i have several titans and knights that can be called upon. But at some point there will hopefully be at least a squadron of each vehicle type. Again storage space withstanding, of which is always at a premium.

Of course 1st company will be moving to 320 terminators.

Over 100 marines in a company? Over 1000 marines in a chapter?



Someone's going to get a call from the big

In all seriousness, and amazing achievement, especially with that level of painting!

This is awesome.

sorry scope, i see quite a few guys on wrong bases, its all going to need updated...

seriously though that's amazing... like a few others have said just the sheer volume combined with the fact that they look great is pretty awesome.

now you just need an equal size opfor

This army has become a work of art. Looking forward to the scenery you might come up with down the road.
