Project Firestorm - The Fire Angels

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hey everyone,

Today I finally get around to showing y'all some of the Space Marines that I have been working on. Let's start with the test model:

4875487648774878

"Ours is not to judge His mind or purposes, for as the hand that turns the hourglass is our Emperor, it is according to His will that the grains of our lives are spent."

The Fire Angels are a pretty cool Chapter, they're pretty zealous, believing that the Emperor is a god. Due to this, they get on rather well with the Black Templars and the Ecclesiarchy.

As a descendant of the Ultramarines, they follow the Codex almost to the letter, the only notable exception is their markings. Fire Angels display their company number on their right knee guard, and their squad type on their left.

The Ultramarines don't like how chummy they are with the Templars though...

My Fire Angels are modelled as if they are part of the fighting in the Badab War, so any Marines that are on the bases will either be Astral Claws or Lamenters.

Some WIP shots of Epistolary Isiah.

I decided to follow Arabic/Judaistic names for the Fire Angels, given their Templaric/Zealot ways.

I like :)
Strikingly simple paint scheme, good iconography, and it's nice to see someone rolling out one of the lesser known chapters with a decent background.
My inner hobby-fascist approves and can't wait to see more.
Only suggestion is that the boltgun needs a little color to break it up a bit.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Cheers Kaptain. I've been following the Badab books and their Boltguns really are that dull coloured. xD
About the most colour they get on them is some red lines.

The grey will look better against my GOLDEN Techmarines though. :p

That will look sweet!

Try a little red chapter icon or a small amount of bronze / gold on one part of the gun like the eagle. Nothing that'll break the canon, but something that will break up the transition between weapon and torso. With a canonically correct silver chest anyone with a boltgun is going to have a very drab mid-section.

That's all for the moment folks, I have a week off coming up, so expect to see more painted models.
I'll aim for a Tactical Squad.

[Kaptain Badrukk]

Don't tell anyone, but I do this hobby thing every now and then.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

:O

HaxX

[Deadlift]

I sure hope I get paired with you on this holiday thing, I want to paint some Fire Angels now ;)

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Hahahaha, nice.

Centurion Assault Squad Haytham

Your models make me wonder if I sold these short... I still don't love the legs, but maybe it's convertible...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Thanks dude, the legs are pretty malleable pose wise to be honest.

[Cap'nSmurfs]

I love your Centurions poses, first of the Assault variant I've seen that I thought looked really good. The one who's swinging his fist especially looks great.

I'm building the new Vanguards now, I may have to nick your sergeant pose...

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Thank you Smurfs, that means a lot.

Go right ahead, I like that I have inspired someone.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Get ready for bombardment, I have painted 62 Marines and 3 Tanks. Still more to do. :D

[Wolfshade]

That is quite a pace. My total for 2013 is 3.
