[LEAD LEGION] The LAF Space Marine Chapter

von Lucky:
It began in the Games Workshop thread:

--- Quote from: Predatorpt on July 02, 2017, 10:48:21 PM ---Since this is the official GW thread, here's an idea ;) We are seeing so many members going back to 40k, so what about we create our own "official" forum Chapter?
It would be a team effort and the main objective would be to re-use old figures that are gathering dust. One member could do a tactical squad; another an assault one and so on.
We would have to agree to a paint-scheme; Chapter Name and someone would have to do the fluff part lol
To get the ball rolling: as for the name I propose "Lead Adventurers" and I pledge a Tactical Squad of 10 Marines (bought used from Ebay, being stripped of paint right now).

The typical scheme would be:
Red Orc put this together:
However, the chapter is know to deviate from this. In particular they have been known to use camouflage, much like the Raptors Chapter.
Veterans typically have white helmets and armour has known to be bare metal in parts. Weapons are black.
Chapter symbol
The castle tower with the moon behind it is the most Space Marine like from the forum banner:
A little hard to freehand, so we might get decals or custom shoulder pads done. A low visibility version could be the one of the right in grey.
Codex Space Marine Chapter Organisation (unsure how much is exactly followed by the Lead Legion):

Disclaimer - it's been a LONG time since I was into this sort of stuff, happy for recommendations, edits, etc.
von Lucky:
So, I think we'll let a few more people to get on board to select a name. I think logo and colour scheme match the forum.
I plan on painting 5 guys (sergeant/character, 3 bolters, 1 flamer).
This'll be my take on the scheme:
Elbows:
I'll be doing a squad of MkVI beakie assault marines w/ jump packs...eventually. lol My name vote goes for the Lead Legion. While we're at it, I wonder if Shapeways has a shoulder pad with a matching design on it. I think I mentioned in the other thread that a Space Marine chapter called the Crimson Castellans had a similar shoulder pad. I'll have to peruse and see.

If not I can rig one up easy. Not sure if I have a marine on hand for the correct shoulder measurements though!
Mason:
If someone has a metal shoulder pad that fits the current ranges I could have a crack at sculpting a 3D pad and get it cast up for others to use.
This would not be a quick turnaround, of course, and may take too long for most who want to do this.....
