The East Wind is coming...
So unusually for myself, i've begun a project whilst up to my eyes in two other legions. The project is a tinkering log for an army i've been debating since the new Codex Space Marines was released last year. I'm enjoying it so far, though i've been working on reclaiming my old Iron Hands bikes. So what's the plan?
Well, i've begun to process of converting my bikes into MKIV riders. I've begun using the Outrider's biker on normal plastic bikes to achieve balance between the V legion and the White Scars chapter. Thus far, though it's not in a condition i feel ready to show, it's got potential.
The theme of this log is simple; to produce a 1500pt space marine scars for that could be used in 30k if and when the scars get there codex. There will be additional models and units added as progress occurs, but for now the design seems fairly set in my mind. I want to explore a combination of the newer MK IV plate (themed for the defense of terra, where the liberated armour from mars may have been passed onto the scars during the defense) and the traditional scars design. I've been listening to the audiodrama, as well as hunting for various snipits of artwork to inform my designs. I'm hoping to get a solid grasp on this as i play test and explore the scars potential each week. I feel with only 3
The army list;
HQ; 380pts
Kor’sarro Khan, Moondrakkan
-Command squad, bikes, 2x storm shield, 4x grav gun, Apothecary.
Troops; 776pts
8 bikes, 2x melta, MM attack bike, sgt meltabomb.
248pts
8 bikes, 2x plasma, MM attack bike, sgt meltabomb.
258pts
5 bikes, 2x melta, sgt meltabomb.
130pts
5 bikes, 2x plasma, sgt meltabomb.
140pts
5 attack bikes, grav gun
120pts
Heavy support;
Fire Raptor Gunship
220pts
The list may chop and change a little, but i feel it's in a fairly solid place at the moment.
So let's move on to a single model i've done to a standard worth of being shown. It's a reclaimed piece, a unit leader. The head is a space wolves with the mohawk removed, the pony tail left on and a mustache sculpted into place.
Time for the PIP model, it's not finished by any means. It is far enough along to give an idea of how i'll be painting these bad boys.
