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
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
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.
ReplyDeleteRoger
