MRCHAOS Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 For the life of me I cant stick to one Army and get them painted I get bored very easy if I start to line paint models, so I have gone back to painting one mini at a time. This time I think I have found something I realy like...... D.I.Y Space Marine Chapter (Orange Marines) :) I have tried with other named Chapters but the fluff just gets in my way, for example the Ultra's nearly every high ranking Marine is named, and the second Coy is shown in all its might in the codex, and I cant go against the fluff. :P (Even if it does change all the time) Plus building an Army with models I think look cool will also help me paint them, even if they are no good on the table top! Bring on 5x Vanguard Vets (Sgt 2x LClaws) (THammer+SS) (PSword+SS) (PAxe+SS) (LClaw+SS) + Razerback ;) ;) Well here's the test mini Vet Sgt that made me fall in love! http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s26/MRCHAOS001/vetsgt1.jpg Here's the second Vet Sgt excuse my Hairy leg, it was getting dark so the pics are a bit rubbish, I will take better photo's of him tomoro. http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s26/MRCHAOS001/vetsgtwip.jpg http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s26/MRCHAOS001/vetsgt2.jpg And next to each other http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s26/MRCHAOS001/vetsgts.jpg Tomoro I plan to start on the Squad mentioned above :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Cool, a colour you don't see very often. I like the chapter badge. Just like the symbol for the baddies from Starcom. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Draaken Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 That is one hell of a nice colour scheme. Any ideas on names for the Chapter though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoby Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Cool, a colour you don't see very often. I like the chapter badge. Just like the symbol for the baddies from Starcom. :( It reminded me of Zelda ^_^, my one complaint is that the red doesnt stand out from the orange, perhaps continuing the gold from the helmet on the shoulderpads might work? One thing I have to know, where did you get the bionic leg from? It looks amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arutha Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 The bionics are awesome, cant wait to see more. only criticism is the pics are a bit fuzzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHAOS Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Cheers guy's :) The pics are a bit poor I agree, the last pic makes them look brown :( The second Vet Sgt is the Iron Warrior Warsmith model, (Dont know if GW still sells him) he comes with the servo arm backpack and the bionic arm. I shaved off the IronW symbol on his chest and replaced it with a Termy Honour badge, and on his left leg some Chaos bling was shaved off too. Skoby= I think the pics are making the red darker than it realy is, plus it makes the Purity seals stand out more. Chapter Badge= Well my freehand sucks I was rubbish at doing the Ultra's badge even though it looks easy, and Imperial/Crimson Fists I had no chance of doing! Transfers and me realy dont see eye to eye, so I had to come up with a symbol even I could master, and the only thing I could come up with that is easy was the Zelda sign (Tri Force) well done Skoby for getting it right :P My Vets will have gold shoulder trims and helmets, the only difference from the codex, aswell as being sons of Dorn! The problem now is coming up with a Chapter name, I dont have a clue at the momment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRCHAOS Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 what helmet is that on the second sarge? I dont have a clue what type of helmet it is, but its the one that's stuck on the metal model! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 the Griff Ballers! or The Chupathingys :huh: They do look very brownish or something, Maybe a little more fiery orange or something, they don't need to be parade marines, but a little more shiny never hurt anyone :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kable Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Whats not cool to say about Orange Marines! (I may a bit bias as my Marines are Orange as well) They look great MRCHAOS, especially the weathering/damage you have applied to them. Awesome job and looking forward to more!

CarbonBased Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Sweet Orange marines! None shall withstand our color! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Sweet Orange marines! None shall withstand our color! Amen to that!! There can never be too many orange marines after all... :lol: Great looking marines there MRCHAOS; keep it up :D I especially like your warsmith conversion; I might nick that idea. The weathering is really nice too, something I still need to add to my guys. If you are open to ideas, might I suggest repainting the red with, say, blue or black? or even green? Those colours would better complement the orange and would really make your guys stand out. Or ignore my suggestions and go on this way; they're your minis ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHAOS Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Holy crap Daothar your Orange marines are brilliant, and after looking at them I think adding some blue would be great! I supose as my 1st Company has gold instead of White/Silver as there colour, it would'nt hurt to have blue as one of the fighting Company's Herald colour aswell.
