Those are nice minis but I always think of space marines as weird monastic warrior priest/knights not wwii marine raiders. They need a bit of flash. Plus what's the good of matte green when the vegetation is fever blue, or the space hulk is made of chrome?
<3 Wayyyy back when I bought the "starter box" they used to make, I painted all my Marines in OD Green with they yellow shield/black bar shoulder pads like 1st CAV. I was later told that "there's no way you can play these minis because they aren't an official color/chapter." /eyeroll
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I often like those really simple and straightforward schemes, but sometimes those are the hardest to paint well
ReplyDeleteWow I love this.
ReplyDeleteBadass. I love how it tones down some of the more goofy/plastic elements of Space Marines. These guys look "for real!"
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Starship Troopers a bit, just waiting for the bugs to come surging out.

ReplyDeleteMaaaaaaaaaaan so good
ReplyDeleteI wonder where these minis are from. They really look cool, but also slight different than the ones GW makes.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if they're just heavily converted or not.

ReplyDeleteyeah I was like "don't care cause they look badass." :D
ReplyDeletekreg Mosier fucking nerds and their sacred cows man. So dumb.
ReplyDeletegregory blair major agreeance, my friend.
ReplyDeletekreg Mosier that’s bullshit you can play them however you like. Just gotta say what you are running them as.
ReplyDeleteThis new keyword army building has me thinking about a combined Space Marine/Cadian army, all in olive and khaki.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Cadian?
ReplyDeleteThe WWII looking soldiers for 40k.
