Guest Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hello, this is my first post here and I would like some comments on the first models of my DIY chapter that I have yet to come up with a suitable name for. Also missing are a chapter symbol which i plan to paint onto the banners and pauldrons. I have painted a commander and a tac squad, which I've constructed as two squads of 5 with a sergeant each. Coming up next is a honor guard for my chapter master. Thanks in advance for your C&C. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/2F828057-DD03-4EBB-A9EC-3D13CA582055_zps3ij35vpp.jpg http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/9E29ADBF-184F-48CE-9322-276A114BBCC5_zpsvma0yi2e.jpg http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/FF6B1725-C364-4574-9CF5-7B062E196A81_zpsgrhntnha.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFred Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Really clean! What's with the grainy look to that one marine's helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks for the comments! @Marshal Sampson: I hadn't thought about basing yet. I have done a dark urban rubble on another army of mine, but Im not sure how that would mix with the color scheme of these guys. @RedFred: I had a bad shot of primer i think. It could also be the photograph, but Im not sure. Ill have to go back and check that. I may put another head on that one. Ive been working on an honor guard and have re-done parts of the commander. He's got a new right arm and a new set of legs. Ive kit bashed the stern guard and the command squad into an honor guard, so far so good. Ill put up some pictures tomorrow.

Guest Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I've added a few models to the chapter so far, still working on the name, but I'm working on with a Free Mason theme and am using a stylized all seeing eye for their symbol. Ive only put this on a few things so far so this may change, but its what I'm going with at the moment. Ive re-done the chapter master a bit and have completed the first three members of his honor guard. I love the kit-bashing possibilities of the SM line of models. The chapter master has parts from four different kits on him, and I love how seamlessly they go together. So here they are: http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/image-1_zpsdd0afbd6.jpeg The group shot. Ive used the stern guard box as the base for these guys and have added power swords from the other kits I had available. Primarily I've kit bashed from the command squad box, especially for the champion's sword and the banner. The banner still needs work; but i regret not taking a picture showing off what I'm trying to do a bit better. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/image-2_zps727e9170.jpeg The Chapter Master. I think I'm done with him, although I may remove the backpack banner, as I have been putting them onto the squad sergeants and am one short. I would appreciate thoughts on this. I used the combat shield from the command squad champion to represent a shield eternal which I plan to include on my list. I think this worked well and don't lament losing the storm bolter that I was using previously. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/image-3_zps85b2fd74.jpeg An Honor Guard. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/image-5_zps35f4e77e.jpeg The champion. I think the Helmet plume helps make this guy a much more convincing model than the figure from the Command Squad kit. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz322/mgm6241/image_zps662939cb.jpeg And the Chapter Banner holder. I Plan to keep working on the banner - its far to plain at the moment - but am not sure how to proceed. This could be a long term project for me to get it right. Thanks for the comments so far and please keep them coming. Any suggestions regarding the chapter iconography would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
