i've got a googledoc as well up and running that will show you guys where i am in the process and when you should expect to see something.

Phil

Thank you so very much for allowing me to claim one. I can't wait until it is done as it has a very personal meaning to me.

Going through the list, it looks like the Relictors are a Renegade chapter, along side the Soul Drinkers.

Might want to weed out the Renegades.

Hey, leave us Relictors alone. We're just ... misunderstood. Fight fire with fire, amirite?

As I said in the post if they're on that list i'll do them
Some peoples requests are requiring some creative thought but thats not an issue.

As per my organisation i'm going to be going through everyones requests and making a note of special requests

Wait, does that say Imperial HATbringers? Like do they guard Commisar headgear shipments?
Oh, no it doesn't.

Oh, ok I claim: SCYTHES of the EMPEROR!

I just wanna make you paint the little crossed scythes on him.
Really though, gotta give them props for facing the Tyranid Hive fleet back in 1990.
This honor absolutely requires you to do a bit of conversion.

SO:
Brother Marlboro.
Assault Marine: Special Weapon.
Bolt Pistol and Hand Flamer.
Probably carries a spare Flamer fuel can.
Armor is badly rent and part has acid melt damage...
OR he has been captured and partly cocooned.
(Think of it as a war memorial.)

Base: Tyranid Hive Ship.

Yussssss!
Respect to you, Astro Wolf.

You dont ask for much do you

EDIT: already taken.

Well done with the LOTD. I bet the flame effect would be great on the tabletop.

And on the subject of claiming, I would like to claim the Imperial Fists, in the name of Dorn himself!

Name: Kyerus Obsidio
Weapon: Good old ornate Bolter.
Battle damage: Fairly beaten and scratched, look like he's advancing through a breached city.
Base: Somewhat standard city base, taking aim behind a broken wall/barricade, same reason as above.

Kyerus excels at what his chapter does best. He has extensive knowledge on how his weapon most efficiently carries out the Emperor's duties, and prefers to take his trusty Bolter over the more intense brawls in close combat. He was like this ever since he was a Scout, due to his roots being from a hunting family, though his more thought out, methodical approaches to warfare often leave him susceptible to overwhelming assaults. Either way, being part of both Tactical and Devastator squads in his time, have lead him to be a well respected member of the 5th Company of the Imperial Fists.

How much green stuffing/conversion work can we request?

Uh oh, I probably opened you a can of worms (or Rippers) with such a detailed build req. it's just I think these poor guys deserve the honor.

And here's another image reference, from our Advanced Space Crusade box.

Since the 13th black crusade technically is underway, Relictors being renegades is not a thing 'yet' and may never be.

Claiming a Marine Errant. Details to be sent via DM.

Wow Master of the Forge, the marine in that reference image makes my 2nd ed 40k box set sergeant look good... Or at least explains why he's so bad.
I'd laugh so hard if Astro Wolf used one of those as the basis for your marine!

Well this is getting more and more intricate
Should be fun once i get to you guys

Just letting you know i've updated the list with the new requests

Iron Hand

Great work so far!

Already pm'd, but I'd like to claim the Ultramarine, please!

Perfect thanks

Finally able to do a bit of fluff for my Ultramarine:

Name: Falax Orestes
Ranking: Battle Brother, Third Tactical Squad, Ultramarines 2nd Company
Armour and wargear: Bolter, Gladius (either in hand or holstered)
Generally Mark VII power armour, helmeted. A Marksman's Honour badge (bullet hanging off of a gauntlet, gun, or shoulder pad), and some general wear-and-tear on the armour and paint scheme.

Background: Falax Orestes, a newly promoted Battle Brother into the 3rd Tactical Squad, 2nd Company of the Ultramarines Chapter, was deployed as part of Strikeforce Praetoria to participate in the Charadon Crusade, dubbed the Crusade of Fury. Unfortunately, during the closing stages of the campaign, the entire Ultramarine taskforce was lost, including their Acting-Captain, betrayed by other Imperial forces. When the Chaos and Ork forces on world had been overcome, and the victorious faction of Imperials had left the planet behind, few still stirred. One such was Brother Orestes. Wounded by the initial bombardment, he was spared the same fate as his brothers by healing in a bunker. As such, Orestes is not aware of the betrayal of his brothers, and assumes them all to have returned to Macragge without him. Wielding only a bolter and gladius, he made his way off world in a ruined Arvus lighter. His current whereabouts are undetermined.

Base: Stirred up earth, akin to WW1 No-Man's-Land. (On the off chance you put a remnant of an enemy, Orks or Iron Warriors would do fine? Of course, only if you do, which you don't have to!)

Shouldn't the Iron Hands have a left hand that is silver? Or is that only when they reach a certain point that they cut off the hand and replace it with a mechanical hand.

Looks good though.

Caption for that Iron Hands marine: "I know who pushed my big red button? It was YOU!"
har har, pointy finger hands are so much fun.

Now, the Ultramarines being the standard codex adherants that they are, i'm sure Falax Orestes can be assumed to have all the standard markings and colours on his armour due his particular position. And so if you wouldn't mind I'd be interested to know exactly what we should expect Falax Orestes' armour to look like. Colours, markings, insignia, the works. It's all rigorously codified if I'm not mistaken.

Oh i have no idea.
I was just going off the image i provided and a few more reference images.
Admittedly there are a few ways to paint the Iron Hands.

I think the Ultramarines have so much lore its mind boggling.
I'm just gonna do my best with it
