Hydriatus Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Author's note: As per my personal rules, as an Age of Darkness player I had to have a Traitor force and a Loyalist force! Following my success at building a 3k army of IW (with enough fortifications to qualify my army as "special" in the narrative tourneys I've been to ), I've decided it's time to start working on some loyalists - but what to do? So far, my 30k experience has been a lot of silver, a lot of dark colours, and a hell of a lot of infantry and scenery... I needed something new, something bright, something somewhat challenging but not to the point I wanted to rip off my hair... ...all bike army of White Scars it is! ---------- The Brotherhood of the Comet A White Scars Army Rite of War: Chogorian Brotherhood Force Org: Age of Darkness Brotherhood Command Council Ursus Khan - Preator, Khan of the Brotherhood of the Comet Stormseer Legion Champion Brotherhood Units Amur Kurin - 1st Kurin of the Brotherhood of the Comet Baikal Kurin - 2nd Kurin of the Comet ---------- Music The Brotherhood (Ace Combat Assault Horizon OST - Rebirth) Ursus Khan (The Witcher 3 OST - Hail To Caranthir) Amur Kurin (Ace Combat: Assault Horizon OST - Town of Fiction) ---------- URSUS KHAN WIP http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/hydriatus/15107344_10157710009265366_2351590179910882711_n_zpssy9o1iru.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/hydriatus/15171200_10157710009250366_2740276298893112828_n_zpsm3wgpelu.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/hydriatus/15078687_10157710009165366_1854787267716075833_n_zpsefpfwwvv.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm303/hydriatus/15085717_10157710129960366_6965530710091436903_n_zps4wpizccv.jpg Now to wait for the FW brass etch for WS to come out!

Lord_Ikka Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Hmm...I actually really like the Stormcast bits. Works well with the Scars background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Pheidias Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Off to a great start, certainly looks the part!Need to see some paint though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrolf the Cunning Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Looks like an awesome start man, what were your thoughts regarding painting of the arrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydriatus Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just as a quick thing, here's the list of parts used for Ursus: Regular Space Marine Bike. MkIV Legs AoS Marauder Horsemen Head Kroot Trophy Ravenwing Command Auspex AoS Marauder Pelt AoS Knight-Venator Torso and Arms (the birdie is also being used) Yes, that is the Parthinian Serpent relic :P @Brother Pheidias: Sadly, I'm waiting on some brass etch - the 3rd party ebay guys who usually do them don't have any instore, and I want to have the legion symbols at least on the front wheels of that bike :P So...stuck waiting on FW again... @Hrolf the Cunning: Arrow wise, I'm thinking simple metal really - silver will stand out on the rider amidst the red, white, gold, and bronze. I mean, making it a laser arrow may have been tempting, but he has a quiver full of the things :P Got any ideas to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrolf the Cunning Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I've been thinking about ways to represent the White Scare relic since the book came out. I was thinking along the lines of a particularly high-tech weapon that involved "energy" arrows, or probably more "hard light" as respresented in the Halo universe. From a incorporating this into the miniature I was thinking of having the bow with a set of gauntlets or bracers that helped form the hard light arrows for firing as the bow was drawn. This would obviously do away with the need for a quiver. Food for thought I guess. I like what you've done all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryltar Thamior Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Oh wow! That's quite simply amazing, particularly with the posing that it's been given. I've previously somewhat written off the Stormcast range's use with Marines for a number of reasons ... but there's been a few logs and images of late which are seriously pushing me in the other direction. Excellent stuff, and I like how the Stormcast shoulderpads have also been incorporated in order to really strengthen the howling steppe-demon aesthetics of the piece.

Brother Heinrich Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Holy :cuss yes! That bow is perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm actually looking at making a Praetor now with the Venator/Azyros set due to this. Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShVagYeR Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The bow is an awesome idea, I'll definitely have to steal that. :) I have an idea for a practical use though, here's a quick sketch of what I have in mind. Forgive the mspaint quality. Because that's how the White Scars deliver their grenades. :D Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 A 7 foot tall dude with a beard riding a motor bike with built in guns while still firing his 6 foot bow is what 30k is all about. Godspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
