^Which bit? But thanks! Or are you waiting on your knight of blood?

So Hazzer, Vik and Theo, as our newest contributors - or at least ones without csm designate - you get to call it. One of you is some kind of flesh-loving cannibal (I might even show you a. Wip!) and if you have a fave chapter - or at least least god - then ill see what I can do, if not in this then at least in an upcoming act of ultra-violence.

a chaosy tribute character... nice!... knowing my temper tho.. you´d have to go with khorne... but i remember you didn´t want that as their scheme would look too similar to your black templars...so then i opt for slaaneshi noise marine...

Those marines look awesome as a group. Very grimdark, they come across as a kind of Daemon hunting Deathwatch.

Hey, thanks Medium, and great to have you aboard!

"'Ere Nasher."
"Wot?"
"Why you got a Skull on yer noggin?"
"Well deez humies iz alwayz puttin Skullz on ev'ryfing, so it 'elps me sneakin'"
"... Wow. You iz one Sneaky Git."

I *really* want grot snipers in the next Ork codex

So in my head, it's like the brotherhood have teleported in a put down a unit of noise marines. That way it's 2 UNITS of brothers (well, 1 unit of sister-brothers...)
That make sense?

Beginnings of Flawless Host for Theophony, Corpus Brethren for Vik, Angel of Ecstacy for Hazzer

I'm thinking of giving the angel of Ecstacy, but I have no idea how to scratchbuild a blast master. I suspect a sanded down Ork weapon actually maybe the way after an abortive attempt with Tau bits. Hmm.

Grot snipers.... oooh.

Ooooh.

Gotta be done buddy. Gotta be done. Would be great counts-as ratlings for a blood axe army.

I realised I uploaded totally the wrong pic for the WIPs I've also made progress on the blastmaster using - what else? - a psycannon well, amongst other things. I'll get a pic up later, hopefully, and am into a long weekend so might even get the base done. The sneaky git has stolen my placement for the possible LED, but I'd already pretty much decided that that's going to wait for the shrine of Khorne. I think 3 corpses is enough; more would look really cluttered I fear, although I would kinda like 5 so it's a minimum unit (or 6 even as that is the number of the sexy beast iirc).

Tangentially, I may have also - finally come up with a solution to my Storm Eagle dilemma - rather than choosing between weeping angel or deathwatch, I'm going to make it Weeping Angel AND deathwatch. Of course, whether it sees paint anytime soon is another matter... I've also just scored another unit of kasrkin off larp_hunter which means my =][= stormtroopers will be at full strength soon. Oh, and the SoB are busy stripping off so I may need to get on with them. I wonder about mounting havoc launchers in a razorback turret for a the option to field a second, less baroque exorcist, as that would mean I could field 2 of any sob tank variant.

Oh, too much to do! Going to see Iron Man Monday too, should be a giggle. Looking forward to a grown-up (what?!) movie...

And to celebrate the date, I'm wearing my Vader was Framed T.
Later peeps,
Graven

Brilliant!

its good to know that the Sisters are stripping off, no pics though I'm a bit disappointed

The sneaky git is looking very good in that hole he seems a perfect fit. I do you think you need to be careful with how many bodies you put on the base, some extra bashed up helmets might look good.

Still looking forward to seeing the Storm Eagle, doing as a Weeping Angel Death Watch vehicle is a great idea to combine both armies.

love the sneaky git... gotta be one of the cheapest minis around ... just a head and a gunbarrel,eh? LOL

have fun watching IM!

@gits: not sure what bit of that you think's brilliant, so I'll assume all of it

you are a rude man
Glad you like my sneaky, I agree it could get too much with more corpses in all probability. Helms may indeed be the way forward. Hopefully I can complete my various allied forces this year.

Aye, right.

That's me, always looking for the cheap option well, these days, anyway.

So onto the corpses, anyhoo:
Flawless Host

Corpus Brethren

Angel of Ecstacy

Obviously all very wip and parts thieved from all over.

And as a total random aside, a mate asked me to build him the BT Techmarine that I'm selling him. Fun, brief side project:

Until the nonce,
Graven

Hey I your trying to represent me, go word bearer. A crazy religious zealot? Yes please.

Everything's looking great so far, love your silencer. In a way it does silence the opponent by drowning him out

So the Grots slaughtered all those Chaos Marines and is now about to move on to the Emperors Finest! Brilliant.

I'll bear that in mind, but you know, Voice of God and all, gotta be a noise marine for now

And doesn't even take the credit. He's that sneaky.

Couple of quickies, just to show the board coming together:
Front

Top

Obviously, a lot more to come, not least of all blood splatter

Noise marines are good for me too. When I sing, I make up for talent by being loud . Board is coming along great!

"Brothers, the wounds on these tainted scions of Chaos indicate a sniper is in the area. Normally, we should be cautious. However, since we are Space Marines, we will pose dramatically in an area strikingly devoid of cover. Mind the skulls."

*chuckle*. Well played Brian.

Duly noted - and thanks!

I am very tempted to drill a wee hole in them each...

More paint, and a different angle:

Got these for £12:

And having sold that dread and techie for £20, technically, I made £8 profit!
Yeah.

And a bit more progress on the bad boys....

I do like the new edge paints and washes, I must confess.

very nice pink going into there. And you scoundrel, you making money of minis... and getting better ones.. i need to check in more regularly.. you update to quickly. The khrone temple seems like a interesting prospect.

Cheers mate. Lots of layers of edge pink, alternated with darkshade and violet washes. Likewise the purples are edge purple and VJ purple respectively.

Yeah, Kasrkin were a steal, which was great. I am a rapid updater - it's cos I have lots to do and I like to do gaming related procrastination!

Speaking of which, the base's been hit up with the darktone - bring on the matt varnish!

Those pinks have come out nicely, always seems a hard colour to get right.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the LED's.

looking good there mister...


tho... i have one question...why in their collective moment of death did they still clutch their guns ? don´t marines loose grip on ther armory like mere mortals do?...just asking... oh...and do drill those holes... i have long thought about the equation of this dio.... you come up with ...what? like 8-10 BT and have three mere chaosy victims... this makes your BT look like a bit as if they are only able to tackle CSM when the BT´s come in big numbers... your templars are of course no cowards, eh? so better let the story go that they found these horribly mutilated bodies slain by that hidden sniper grot

Wow, there is no pleasing some people
Their guns are attached to their arms dude!

Yep, bullet to the eye.


In the neck...

Ok, so not attached to arm here, but he's just been downed:

Yup, that is blood spray. There's something I've never been brave enough to try!

Happy now?

He seems to be

well.... i didn´t knew the guns ´d be attached to the arms...

but i like the bulletholes and the blodd spray... that is very scenic! the eye wound is my favorite!

Very nice work on the gore there ol' son... not quite Monty Python, but it's a good start.

It's just a flesh wound...
