I'm getting close to the end and I want to keep motivated.

I created my own chapter with my own story and heroes.

I will put the background up, but basically they are a chapter that is sent on suicide missions and manage to win the day and come back. This goes with the win, but just barely play style. Last time I played my friend's SW army I had 2 units on the board at the end of a 2k game. A dread and my version of Gabriel Seth, Chapter master Antillies (yes, the Blood Rogues needed that Star Wars Reference.) I was the winner, but I took heavy losses.

So I plan on posting some of my work as it is done. I hope for some opinions ad comments, because as anyone who has painted tons of minis know, the best part is showing them off.


Fist is my version of Mephiston. He is Lazeron the Lightning cloak, and his back story is not done.

For starters: I picked up Dark Vengence. Since the army had a mix of Blood Angels and Dark Angels Iconography, it was a perfect fit to include them. I didn't have a Libby in power armor, but I do now...








I'm going to try to include some WIP shots for models I'm adding to the army, and when possible, show the old models with their updated pic in the same post. Stick around and hope this inspires somebody.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360650/5048581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360650/5048581.page GMT

Some slightly closer ups:

I'm currently working on some Kitbashed Sternguard Veterans, and I have 10 assorted marine bodies and 10 Jump Packs and I'm thinking about making 5 into Vanguard Veterans to finish off the 5 I already have and making 5 into assault marines to finish off the 5 man squad I have currently. The other thing I was thinking of doing is making a 10 man assault squad with jump packs, as I don't actually have any flying assault marines. It's a hard decision.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360650/5052924.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360650/5052924.page GMT http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1100022) and it comes with bits intended for an old Tech adept and I thought I could make myself a count as fairly easily here. The sero-arms are really the issue, and I tried to go with a Dr. Octopus style where the arms didn't have to be rigid, but could be like tendrils. It's not the best, but I don't feel like it will confuse people. I can always change it up. Anybody have any good idea for bits that could make a servo harness or ones to improve the Techmarine look in general?

I tried the best I could to update him a bit and improve the overall look of the model. There are some highlights on the face that don't show here, otherwise they don't really show up too great, but I really did try. I added a third tone to the lighning on the cape which makes the center "pop" a bit more.

Did a little to improve the sword added some high;lights to the plasma pistol to make a better "glow" effect -

Old metal Blood Angels head from the Honor Guard box.





Somewhat generic Sternguard.





Terminator (Like the Movie, not the Elite choice) Head:



Ran out of the sotrm bolter bits, so this Marine is their ammo porter. Has his bolter at his hip, and he has additional ammo when someone is running low.



Combi Weapon Marine





Plasma 1



Plasma 2-aiming out of the corner of one eye in case it "gets hot"





The Sargent





Looking forward to gettin them painted up, but I have a lot going on over the holidays and don't know when it will begin.

For now, the unit that tipped us over 9k-

Man...not a lot going on. The flamer, 1 PW and that's it really. I would like to take this chance to ask/say, I have always thought that sheild that comes with the assault marines plastic kit was a Power Armor marine size Storm Sheild, and the Terminators get a bigger one. I have some very old assault marines with metal bits that come with a tiny metal sheild (think a medievil buckler) and that is about half the size of the ones that come with the kit now. Also, it doesn't replace a weapon, and the new one is hand held (the old one just glued onto the forearm holding the pistol/chainsword) so I figured that's what it was. I really try for WYSIWYG and I don't want to have to go around rearming these guys because I thought they had SS, but only have Combat Sheilds...

That aside, here are some of the the updated honor guard I have been working on-

BP and Chain Sword






Plasma Pistol and SS



Sanguinary Noviate-Not sure why I didn't do the bronze on him. I wanted him to fit in as a member of my Sanguinary Priests more than the Honor Guard. He is the Sang priest assigned to this squad, more than he is an Honor guard himself. I think that makes sense ,










Ok...that's it. I mean it this time. I probably won't update again until after the holiday. I do want to say THANK YOU to everyone taking the time to come take a lot at my work. Just hit over 1k views. I hope someone likes my work, and it inspires someone to work on their own army. Have a great holiday. CHEERS!
