Anon the Felon

Might want to link this in the 40k thread as well. But, hopefully I'll post up a picture of what I'm willing to donate for my guy this afternoon/evening.

altmann

Hmm, terminators... This will be fun.

valhalla130

my name: Valhalla130
Character Name: Drusus Gaul
Chapter: Imperial Fists

And I've located a nice looking power axe on the Space Wolf Accessories for the left arm. If that fits your theme and isn't too wolfy, I would love to paint that.

I can't see any obvious SW icons, but it might be on the opposite side.

daveNYC

me: daveNYC
Character Name: Singur Nářek (Czech pronounciation on that last name, actually sounds pretty cool)
Chapter: Lamenters

Custom Special

my name: Custom Special
Character Name: Brutus Tiberius IV
Chapter: Ultramarines (tyranic wars veteran)

I'll say for the record again that I request a helmet, and I suppose we'll get more into that kind of stuff later...
Awesome idea ToT, hopefully this all works out to be super amazing (and this is Penny Arcade, so I'm expecting it will).

saluksic

Chapter: Blood Ravens
Character: Marte Garrido. A veteran of Tyranid and Greenskin campaigns, Garrido gained distinction as a member of a Tactical Squad. His detachment fought in coordination with a Xenos faction to halt a nascent Waaaagh! in the vicinity of a populous imperial Sub-Sector. This involvement became mired in suspicion by the Ordo Xenos, and Garrido was compelled to make his service to them by way of removing blemish from his chapter's record.

Would either of the Blood Ravens/Space Wolves be interested in swapping to diversify the units a bit? Got two BR in one unit and two SW in the other, having 1/1 in each would diversify it up a bit. If not, no big deal.

JUST TRYING TO KEEP OUR RAINBOW SPARKLING! (No rainbow marines.)

I HAVE a deathwatch shoulderpad, but it looks different than the others will:

And then a halberd:

What did we agree to on Storm Bolters?

Man this dark angel upgrade frame is just an awesome deal, $16.50 for 5 robed space marines and TONS of options. I was planning on donating some parts from mine, but it's so cheap you might want to just buy one anyway.

HORSESHIT!

Rainbow Marines are in the Rogue Trader rule book man, that shit's been there since day 1. You can't deny history.

Also I would be willing to go Blood Raven if Altmann isn't willing.

TraceofToxin

@Eldercat - Looks good to me. Only sticking point would be the shoulder pad. Does everyone want the same DW shoulder pads? There's something to be said about the minor uniformity we'll have. I'm not exactly sure, maybe the Sgts would have different ones?

They're also dead thanks to the Tyranids (I think?)

I meant more that one of the Blood Raven painters paints one of the Termies and one of the Space Wolf players paints one of the 'Paladins'.

Anon the Felon

Alright, here's the initial build of the interceptor psycannon dude. He still needs some cleaning, and the GS needs to cure and be sanded into the right shape (it's not quite flat right now, so I have some to work with).

I'm really pleased, it's got dynamics, custom looking tech, and general bad-ass-itude.







Oh, he's loose on the base, it's just in there to give him a stable platform.

TraceofToxin

Damn that was quick Anon. I can't see most image hosting shit from work, so I'll check it out when I get off in an hour or so.

ElderCat

That jump pack conversion is pretty slick. Good job.

altmann

I Can do whatever. As long as my dude is a space wolf because sorry, I have like 30000 space wolf bitz I can use and exactly 0 blood raven bitz.

saluksic

Dudes got backpacks like the day is long! Very nice.

If either Altmann or The Good Doctor would like to switch, I'd be happy to. I have a spare heavy flamer terminator arm, as it is.

Custom Special

I don't know if it's possible to find this thing, but I want Lord Kaldor Draigo's helmet so bad!!



His model comes with a helmet or open head, so the bit exists...

edit: I guess other GK kits have a similar helmet? Looks that way, except the vanilla ones don't have the I on the forehead. And I will just also say the vanilla GK term helmets look quite wicked their own.

editedit: Anyone ever used or heard of The Bitz Barn? Apparently they have every bit ever, and shipping is on the cheap, I just wonder if they're legit. GK termie sprue:

Has lots of cool heads, plus plenty of halberds and swords.

TraceofToxin

lol @altmann having all the bitz.

I don't care who swaps, I was just commenting that we've got 2 people from the same chapter in both units and we could diversify by swapping them. Or we could have them be best bros by keeping them in their units. What do you guys think?

TraceofToxin

@Anon That's a really awesome convserion and now I feel terrible for saying this but I had incinerators in the list and typoed them as psycannons but because you're awesome and psycannons are cheaper I'm going to change it to psycannons and spend the extra points on other things because good job.

TL;DR Anon is a beast.

TheLawinator

Minor chance I may switch from Sons of Dorn to Black Templars, but eh.

I'll jump to paladin, no problem there. I'm just here to paint whatever shows up at my door.

valhalla130

I wish I had known of a group of guys like you guys back when I first started painting and playing. I'm sure I'd be much further along in my hobby progress by now.

The only left handed power axe I can find is on that space wolf accessory frame. I have an idea for a company champion using that axe and the storm shield from the command squad.

Less do eet. I have a left over terminator from Space hulk, too.

Good luck on getting a power armor dude to hold a heavy bolter as well as a big ass hammer. Seems like a handful.

I'm building that one. I was like, "Man, I wonder what he comes up with." Then I realized he's just painting. D'oh!

Haha, but seriously, I'm excited for the challenges.

Anon the Felon

You know Trace, I can make another one for you, if you'd rather go with incinerators...I have some heavy flamers and stuff in my bits.

That was mostly just a model to see if you liked the design. Maybe give the other guys who are building some idea's, etc.

I think the AssCan under the arm like a terminator is the best bet.

It''s either psycannons and psybolt ammo or incinerators. What does everyone else think?

I dunno how that'll work for normal dudes without bionic arms. Hmmm.

Anon the Felon

He's not going to look the same though. One of the huge benefits (talking about models that is) of heavy bolters is the ammo belt, which gives some fancy dynamic elements to the model. But, I'll see what can be done and maybe get you an example.

TheLawinator

Idea for one of the heavy bolter psycannon guys... a TECHMARINE! Gasp.

Matev

I'll take up an Interceptor, this is gonna awesome!

That's the look I think Dayspring plans on going for.

I agree. I think with an underslung heavy bolter you need to make sure it's still got the feed belt in place. It's such a huge gun it's hard to find a way to have it carried outside of the traditional that it doesn't look ridiculous

Mago

Thinking about this some more I will look at building my marine during the weekend, sans the Deathwatch shoulder pad, and show you what I have in mind.

OtakuD00D

Hmm. I didn't name my Blood Raven.

Brother Rook Siegfried.

TheLawinator

Also somebody should probably be a librarian, you know, cus psychic powers.

He should have chainsword feet because I'm really tired and think it is a good idea

Nealneal

Name- Nealneal
Marine- Brother Apothecary Agrippa Lucilius
Chapter- In thinking about the dude, I think I'd like to switch him up to be an Ultramarine. Insuring the purity of geneseed throughout the Imperium.

I will do a mock up of what I'm thinking about for him, and let you kids decide what you think. I really love the Power Maul from the Dark angels sprue for the Warding Stave, but I also think the Warding Stave bit for the Terminators can be easily cut down to size for a PA guy. I should have something together next week sometime.

Ken O

My wife is heading out of town, so I'm going to be warhamming it up soon. I might start putting my Hammer Terminator together.

Are the hammer terms Hammer and Shield or just Hammer?

Sit the damn HB on the ground as if to say 'Ground, hold my fucking stupidly massive gun while I smash some god damn xenos faces'.

Or holding the HB by the top handle off to the side and brandishing a hammer.

Or hammer slung across the back somehow?

And then you have to fit Space Wolf decorations all over him. I'm so glad I don't have to build this thing. :P

TheLawinator

Gonna switch to a Black Templar because I found out that the white dwarf that mentions the Sons of Dorn is talking about a chapter some dude made up.

Either that or a Minotaur, OoOooOOo.
