Hard Decisions

So I've been doing a lot of thinking about my "green and white" marines. While I was putting lists together for the G&Ws and the SWs I kept saying to myself one of two things "well those will be painted green and white, so I'll have to just have mis-matched schemes in the army," or "I already have a land raider that is painted blue, so I'll have to buy another," so I finally came to a decision.

I am going to ditch the G&W marines and stick with the SW colors (maybe less yellow though). I think the main reason I wanted to play a "vanilla" chapter was to do some of the minis that were less "wolfie" or ones that I thought didn't really go with the fluff. Like chaplains. There are some really nice Chappy models I'd like to paint up, but they don't really go with the SW.

So what I've decided is that, I'm going to pick up some Chappy minis, maybe a Thunderfire cannon, and if I want to use them, I'll just use my SWs as vanilla marines painted blue/grey.

Well because people are talking about new lists...

So Tamara was giving me crap because after I had finished my 2000 point Space Pup army, I still had an ass-ton of marines sitting around. Well I am pretty tired of painting Space Pup grey, so I decided that I'll paint them up as another chapter. I was looking through the different chapters and I had a few criteria. I didn't want to paint any of the "usual suspects (Ultramarines, Blood Angels, etc), so I looked for some of the other chapters and game up with the Angels of Retribution. A Dark Angels founding.

BoLS has decal for AoR so that was the nail in the coffin, as it were. So here is my first attempt.

Second, I started my Ironclad. For this guy I wanted him to look beefy, and less vulnerable than a regular Dread. I bought som of the leg cowls from the Dark Angles Dread, and put them on the back of the lower legs. This makes the smooth covering right above the feet, go all the way around the back of the legs. I wanted somet hing to beef up the crapace, and looks like the picture of the "real" Ironclad, so I used tank treads. I am not sure if I want them to be a bit smoother. Lastly I used some more treads on the hips to make them look like they are more protected.

Not sure if you can see it, but I have cut out notches at the bottom of the chest on either side, thats where the secondary weapons will go. I wanted it to look a bit more like the FW Dreads
