I'm afraid your eyes are not decieving you, this is yet another thread from me. After failing to sell my Space Marine army and after playing lots of Dawn of War II, I decided on a new idea. I am going to slowly but surely re-create all the characters and squads from the game. So that includes The Force Commander Tarkus and his 3 Tactical Marines Avitus and his 2 Heavy Bolter Marines Thaddeus and his 2 Assault Marines Cyrus and his 2 Scouts Davian Thule I like the idea of a small but powerful force and I also like how all the marines are different in the game, so this will mean getting my hands on unique shoulder pads, weapons, accesories etc. I also like the fact that the marines in the game look really battered, so here's my tester...   As per usual he's not finished, but it should give you a good idea about what I'm aiming for. Any feedback would be appreciated, critiscisms, idea etc. Cosmic |

It looks mighty fine... However, Aren't their helmets supposed to rad as well? Speaking of the red, It looks a little maroon for Blood Ravens , I think. Otherwise, Very goon, now finish him, or I break out the whip  |

Otherwise, Very goon, now finish him, or I break out the whip Ah, when you get the squad to Veteran status their helmets turn from Red to Cream/Bone/White  The original Blood Ravens were also a dark, maroon colour. He is lighter in real life though (stupid phone camera), matching the Red of the DoW II marines better Thanks but don't give me the whip! *cowers* |

Ahh, I haven't played, so I had no idea...
I assume that the white doesn't off in real life does it?

in DOW II davian thule is attaked and mortally wounded by a nid warrior Walrus, which leads on to you taking over the chapter and having to get things to destroy the hive fleet. i dont know his fate as ive never completed the game  but that is indeed a good idea for a dreadnaught conversion.... A Dreadnaught chapter master? wow.... i may have to fiddle with my old dread now xD or sell it, fiddle or sell.... hmmmmmm |

SPOILERS David
Thule gets interred within a Dreadnought and no longer takes command, he is just another dread. He can be upgraded to a Venerable Dread later in the game though

Wow cosmic, that marine is truly exceptional. Cheers Shostak Thank you very much Nathaniel it means a lot I've been busy painting another Marine that represents the Force Commander, but pictures tomorrow. I've also just order a load of Bitz to make the rest of the Marines all unique. I'm hoping that it's work like this that will get people interested in asking for comissions. But more photos tomorrow so keep an eye out Cosmic |
