CALM THE DOWN BEFORE I BREAK YOUR LEGS OFF AND CRAM THEM INTO YOUR EYE SOCKETS!! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

Seriously though, craps has been going down recently. Expensive dental work, combined with irritating by-the-hour work, combined with a string of unfortunate family functions (seems like the have one EVERY ING TIME I HAVE A DAY OFF) have left me with little hobby time. Also, I am ashamed to admit, the new mtg set has reignited my love of edh... and I tend to obsess about things I am excited about...

ANYWAY, I am currently trying to finish off my raven, and I also have a DnD figure for the campaign that I am in (the previous lass was for another party member). BUT! Never fear! The character is Angry Marine Inspired. Long story short, he is a CG cleric of Temperus, the god of righteous anger. He uses reinforced guantlets to deliver touch spells as hard as possible, and has an intense hatred of lycanthropes, and other were-creatures. Sound familiar? Look forward to it!

Now the important stuff! Although I haven't had time to hobby, I HAVE made significant progress on the 6th edition Angry Marine codex. Not to toot my own horn, but I am pretty awesome, and you should be excited. I ING SAID BE EXCITED!!

I need art, however. New art, from good art people. I make bad drawings, not as terrible as some, but still not good enough for repeated public exposure. So if any of you can help, please let me know, or spread the word to some charitable artsy sorts. The dex is going to have a good amount of work put into it by me and few others, and I want to give the best presentation I can. One of my first ideas was to buy a commission from a "pro" art guy to make at least the 'dex cover, something truly epic that will echo down through the ages blah blah etc, but all my extra money is now in my stupid bleeding mouth, so that idea is shelved. So yeah, hit me up. Even if you just have a really good idea for a unit, character, or mechanic, feel free to message me.

BTW, the holidays are a dark time for me. I will try and be better about photo updates, but things could be hairy for a while, starting nowish. If only people would stop this heretical "holiday season" hoohaa and worship Big E as is proper.

that's funny, I ran an Angry Paladin of Temperus a few years back who had serious Daddy issues. ANGRY DnD!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to break radio silence. As I feared, things have been hectic, but I do have something for you guys to look at. I have the first drafts of the Angry Marine Codex's Special Rules and Temperus Maximus sections up for review (caution, there may be a bad word or two in there):

Rules: http://vyler.deviantart.com/#/d5m2h7l

Temperus: http://vyler.deviantart.com/#/d5m2k5n

Take a look, do some proof reading, offer some suggestions, etc. I've already found a few things and simplified a few others, but I want to get at least the special rule section ironed out before I start getting other units finished up.

RESPONDING IS MANDATORY.

Surprised you havnt posted them in proposed rules

I'll be honest, never knew there was such a thing. I'll have to check it out. Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.... just felt bad @ the lack of activity here.

Rather out of date though. And I think more than a little broken....
I was intending to make my own, but mayhaps I'll check this out / contribute.

It USED to be broken. The power creep of 40k has left it far far behind, methinks. Also looking forward to your comments/suggestions/contributions!

Haha this should stoke the fires of raeg again

Indeed, methinks we need more Angry Marines (hint hint)

Sup? It's been a while...

I would love to say that all this time has been filled with hobby time and RAEG and whathaveyou, but unfortunately I got a handful of games in and that's about it. I have made a concerted effort to start getting crap done again, so we'll see!

For starters, I threw some more paint on my remaining two C***Knockers. Once they are done I'm thinking I might try to actually finish my Black Brother squad:



In other news, I decided to start a "regular" marine army; one that focuses on shooting (gasp)!. They will be a Iron Hand successor chapter called the Knights Gilded. Essentially, they're a less sulky offshoot that focuses on craftsmanship and acquiring and restoring artifacts and old technology. What I am left with is a chapter that lets me use boinics, fancy knightly bits from DA and BT, AND some sweet pre-heresy stuff from Forge World.

Here's my test model, a Vet Sgt:



And the rest of the Tac squad (WIP):







I'm going for a metallic red & gold scheme. Since all the metallic red paint I've found is utter crap, I've been using a "candying" technique. Basically, I base them in gold and then apply multiple watered down coats of red over top until I get the right shade, then I put some gloss varnish over the red bits. It's a pretty neat effect in person. The bionics I'm using are from Anvil industries: www.anvilindustry.co.uk

Seeing how I want to shoot with this army, I figured some SternGuard would be the way to go. I bought a box, and got some Iron Hands Immortal bodies off of ebay, and set to work. Here's the normal SG:



And the ones made based off the FW torsos:



And I had one immortal torso left, so I turned him into another Vet Sgt for a 2nd Tac squad:



Feedback and suggestions please! Updates might not be a frequent as the olden days, but I'm going to make an effort to not let things sit as long.

You know what, you definantly need a marine wielding a heavy bolter like a pistol, it makes just about as much sence as anything else.

Or maybe some regular tactical marines with fist-shaped bayonnets on their bolters.

Scouts with extremely over sized power fists (maybe a two-handed power fist?)

You should also make the chapter-master look like Chuck Norris and arm him with some sort of power-beard/fist/battle cannon.

Great work!!!

P.S. Brilliant bikers idea, angry marines riding various other armies (no, I mean like a horse, but its an ork or a tyranid).
