All set on a name Grunt, but thanks for the idea.

@viognor- I dont want to mix metallics too much... I think the grey might look a little off with the gold. Maybe green.

I may tweak the colors a bit bit I feel like it will lose a little something if I do...

OK! COLOR SUGGESTIONS HERE PLEASE!

Great! The more I look at the colors the more it makes me angry! Help me people!

I wasnt saying I didnt like it. I actually think its a really good scheme. I just meant it reminds me of the Saints kit.

I cant wait to see the 1st marine to roll off the assembly line.

@Wyvern- I'm glad you like the scheme! I never said you didnt

@vignor- I'll be starting on this project in depth as soon as my stuff from scibor comes in


Should I get the stuff to make some molds and casts? Or pick up some plasticard sheets, tubes, and rods?

If you want to make mass amounts of something (like spears) get some molding stuff. If you want every piece to be an individual, go with the plasticard. GF9 makes some good variety packs of stuff with sheet, tube and girter looking things in it.

I saw those at GF9. It's going to be a good buy either way I also need to come up with a fething chapter symbol too...

I like the symbol on the scribor stuff, maybe with something added.

I'm going to carve off the "A"

You should carve of the one side and add another to make a lambda (spelling?) and make them revenge of the nerd marines.

WM360... damn you.

ROFL, you know you want to now. It'll be the sweetest inside joke ever.

I thought this thread was about *hewbrew* marines for a second.... oy!

As much as I love a good inside joke WM360... Ok, I'll do it on a vet But just one!

Trilambda Vets FTW!!!!!

Can he be battle brother Booger?

What about Lamar?

See, you need a whole Vet squad.

id be more then happy to help with the chapter symbol

Well Vignor, feel free to toss some ideas my way! I would love the help.

As for Lamar, He will be in my Tri-lambda vet squad with a spear made for his "limp wristed" fighting style

Sooo...How's the hunt for paint going? I've been cleaning up my paint station for the imminent arrival..

It is going very well actually! I have 2 of the colors already Though I spent the rest of the extra $$ I had on some primer (for my brothers SMs) and some basing material (for the objective swap) If its ok Samus can I have you paint something for me instead of my bro? He is very excited to get going on his own. I'll have plenty of units in need of some loving!

Ehem, any mariens yet?

I doubt the bits are even there yet.

May i suggest with the Terminstor Sarge and Termies, have a less distinct look for the Sarge. Maybe have the same look but just change the helm. Might make for better consistency.

Sure, that's fine. Send me a PM tomorrow, We can work something out

Anything except tyranids is fine....Unless it's a monstrous creature, which is fun as long as it's arms aren't attached

Not yet... but believe me they will be kicked into high gear ASAP! I'm really excited about this project!

No sadly they are not :( Soon I hope!

I was thinking the same thing What color do you think for the heads? Or maybe some other type of variation?

How about you leave the heads of the sarge and termies as you have it. But just change the shoulder pouldrons to keep Consistency within the squad.

I may have to do that. I just want to make sure that there is enough distinction. Know what I mean?

Yeah fair enough! If in doubt though read the SM codex. Your army doesnt have to be codex but they have a really Awesome Force Organization setup in there (pages 17-21). Colors and Helms for Company, Squad and Status.

Ok no more quoting We were getting a bit crazy there.

I don't have a codex yet...
