Augustus b'Raass Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks everyone! Glad you liek the squad. Here's the WIP pics of the seventh five-man squad I'll be painting for my 1250 tournament list: IV Tactical Squad. Veteran sergeant - Fidurik Kolan - Barabbas Sogalon Kolan is based on one of the horribly posed bodies that come with a rapier platform. I boiled the body though, and managed to bend his left leg backwards and outwards, which gives him a slight mid-stride sense of motion, that was tolerable enough to use him as the bear of an astartes I imagine him to be - which I wanted mostly because Barabbas Sogalon's name always sounded like a name for a big guy to me. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20151227_037_zpsxby2b9pi.jpg Comms specialist - Jacobu Wenreich - stepper My thanks go out to KrautScientist, who provided me many of the Mechanicum antennae that I've used in the comms specialists in my army. Thanks buddy! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20151227_028_zpsb6vhkdcb.jpg Heavy Weapon Specialist (Lascannon) - Lothar Meginhard - kizzdougs Kizz, I hope you like this guy. I tried to make him as big as I could, with the 40K devastator body that resembles MkIII armour, along with a MkIII pauldron and helmet with bionic eye. I hope you like him. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20151227_034_zpsv5hr462m.jpg Battle Brother - Vikton Tsoi - Res Ipsa Loquitur http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20151227_040_zpsxij4moe1.jpg Battle Brother - Addart Valten - Soric http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Imperial%20Fists/WP_20151227_031_zpslupv753b.jpg I hope you like them! C&C welcome, as always. Replies: @Barrabas Sogalon: Is it really so bad to OD on plastic crack? @tarvick: Dude, I had no idea you were a girl, and you make me feel like an ass for referring to you as a guy all this time. Thanks for liking the sergeant so much, though! Steal away, btw. @hushrong: Ha! Glad you noticed them! @Atia: Yeah, the boarding shields have a screen on the inside, and lenses on the outside, making it possible to completely hide behind them and still be able to see what's behind them. They're pretty awesome as a concept. @The hydra: Who says I can't have a unit of breachers in this army? @MrBear: Now I'd love to say something to the effect of "Coincidence? I did my research." but that really wouldn't be fair. Also O&G army? What des that stand for? (Sorry if it's obvious: it's late and I'm a little drunk right now). Also, thanks for telling me about the mix-up. I corrected it. @krokabei: Cheers buddy! Thanks for looking and commenting.

Black_out Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Seriously, Augustus, the speed and quality you've been turning out over the last few weeks has been nothing short of amazing. Really well done yet again on your recent updates. The razorback is probably my favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 That tactical marine with the corvus helm n anvilus pack looks pretty unique Augustus, I'm honoured. I've sent you a pm with the name Aldhard Valten. I hope that's suitable for him :) Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 @The hydra: Who says I can't have a unit of breachers in this army? msn-wink.gif I demand a unit of Breachers then good sir. Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teetengee Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 some of the left pauldrons look like they could use a file along their bottom edge, all the stuff looks great though, good mix of bits Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBear Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 IV Tactical looking promising, another good kitbash. Oh, O&G = Orcs & Goblins. Almost the same greenskinned xenos but on square bases and without shootas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Damn, I look good. Mk III is a favourite. Almost two metres in real life, so a big guy is fitting. Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 +++ Happy New Year! +++ I hope you all had great parties and fun. No one around me got injured due to fireworks, I'm happy to report. Only three days left on my vacation, and so much to do. With today being as wasted as I am, , I have only two days of possible hobby time left in my vacation. Dunno if I can deliver anything finished, but at least I got the bases for the artillery and dreadnoughts I have lined up. Also, I got myself a Storm Talon (because I'd love to paint it, mostly) and Sergeant Telion. Hidden Content http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99800101039_SergeantTelionNEW01.jpg I know he's an Ultramarine, but I got him for two reasons: He looks like me. Obviously I don't walk around with a bionic monocle, but like him, my hair grows on the wrong side of my face. And if I stuff his cheeks a little bit with greenstuff and paint his beard in a pepper-and-salt colour scheme, his face is nearly identical to mine. He allows for an ultimate cheese combination. If he's your warlord he can give any unit within 12" rending. Enter three Quad Heavy Bolter Rapier platforms.... tee hee hee. @Black_out: Cheers buddy! Yea, I had a lot of free time. Two more razorbacks and I'm done with the tanks for a while. @Soric: Addart Valten it is! glad you like the corvus guy. :) @The Hydra: You'll have to wait for them, but with a Caestus incoming, a breacher unit is practically mandatory, no? @Teetengee: Cheers for spotting that, teets. Will do. :tu: @MrBear: Haha should have known of course.... Still glad about the fitting coincidence. @Barabbas Sogalon: Alright! Another great fitting! Are you okay with him like this, or do you have any suggestions for Sergeant Kolan? Perhaps his heraldry? - I was planning to do his banner in the black and white quartered scheme that fits the Fifth Company. But in terms of iconography, you're most welcome to offer suggestions. Mind you: I have the Imperial Fists Transfer sheet, so there's no boundaries. :) @SkimaskMohawk: Haha cheers. Glad it worked out that way. :) Black_out and MrBear 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Dude, great job on II squad. I especially enjoyed the fluff on Ernust, kinda explains why a battle brother is wearing a Mk3 helmet with laurels. And on Telion, I did not know he did that. That combination could be nasty.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Dude, great job on II squad. I especially enjoyed the fluff on Ernust, kinda explains why a battle brother is wearing a Mk3 helmet with laurels. And on Telion, I did not know he did that. That combination could be nasty. Thanks buddy. Yeah Telion has the storm of Fire Warlord trait, which allows him to nominate any unit within 12" of him and give that unit rending during that phase. It´s restricted to units with the Ultramarine Chapter tactics though, so it´s extra cheesy as I´ll be painting both Telion and the rapier unit as Imperial Fists, but counting them as Ultramarines. I´m calling the combination ´Dutch Cheese´. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyrstuart Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 With the shooting those can put out, I might would call it Swiss Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBear Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 As a fellow member of the "Bald & Bearded Society" I approve of your planned use of Sgt Telion, listen up the rest of mankind: "We are the Bald.

Kizzdougs Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Great work, bro!!! Loving the MkIII helmet and the re-enforced leg armour on Lothar. Looking forward to seeing him painted up with the rest of the squad :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) IS THERE NO-ONE ELSE??? http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view6/4699492/is-there-no-one-else-caption-o.gif Alright gang, it's been a couple weeks since I allowed everyone to name a marine or character in my 1250 list. Almost all slots have been filled, but not all. I realize that most of the regular visitors of this thread have contributed, so I´m appealing to all the not-so-regulars or new-comers here: please pick a marine and comment a name!! :) There are 19 (nineteen!) marines that await their deliverance from anonymity!!! WHO DARES CLAIM THEM??? (seriously, though: I'm kinda desperate ) VIII Assault Biker SquadAttack Bike Driver - IX Devastator Squad Vexilarius - Heavy Weapon Specialist (Lascannon) - Battle Brother - X Devastator Squad Heavy Weapon Specialist (Missile Launcher) - Heavy Weapon Specialist (Missile Launcher) - Battle Brother - I Scout Squad Battle Brother - Battle Brother - II Scout SquadSergeant - Heavy Weapons Specialist - Comms Specialist - Battle Brother - Battle Brother - III Scout SquadSergeant - Heavy Weapons Specialist - Comms Specialist -Battle Brother - Battle Brother - Thanks! Replies: @codystuart: Swiss then. Sounds more appropriate indeed, with the added flexibility. @MrBear: AHA! Membership is free and mandatory, no? @Grizzly_bear: He'll be black-and-yellow, mostly! @Midnight Runner: Hey buddy! Glad you like the pose of the leviathan. For its massive bulk, it offers a surprising amount of flexibility (especially when you cheat with spacers in the joints ) @kizzdougs: Thanks bro! Glad you like your duder.
